That is terrific! I took a gamble and came over to visit your site for the first time. The roll of the dice paid off – I love it – nice job!

What you missed in the story was that, since Papelbon did not get the huge contract he wanted in the off season, he’s trying to make up the difference with winnings from Dice-K!

Funny that this happened in Detroit – Keep in mind that there’s a casino about 4 blocks due south of Comerica Park, and it’s quite possible that visiting MLB teams might stay in the ultra-luxury hotels now open in the other 2 Detroit casinos.

You’re welcome! I just wish I could’ve videotaped the entire lesson. Not only did it last over 20 minutes but a translator was involved as well.

I googled “Papelbon craps” (insert joke here) and found that Paps had mentioned on FSN’s “Best Damn Sports Show Period” that the bullpen sometimes plays craps to pass the time. Maybe that was the reason for this impromptu lesson….

HA! That’s hilarious. Paps is always ready to give his fellow ball players an education on something.

I could have used his help in Vegas a few weeks ago. Craps is so not my game. :)
