Game Thread: Game 13 vs the Brewers

Reminds me...Has anyone yet seen Idiocracy? I think only twelve or thirteen people saw it in the theater but I think it's been on video for some time now. I've gotta put it in my Netflix "queue" (sp?).

And it's funny...

All the people in the future are really dumb. Luke Wilson is from the past (current times) and uses bigger words than they are used to hearing. They constantly accuse him of talking "faggy".

otherwise you should offer 2:1 payouts on the OVER (which shouldn't be a problem as we are using RR$)
