Over|Under with Pete Rose
I'm sick of it becoming a media event every time I talk about what I've bet on. So let's get it all out of the way. While managing the Reds, I bet on baseball, junior high softball games, cock fights, who shot JR, two-week old Chinese food, the Oscars, high school elections, hobo fights, where Marge Schott's dog would deuce next, players' STD test results and the drinking games at local fraternities. Actually, the only thing I won't bet on is the stock market. My bookie offers the only retirement plan I need. Let's gamble!

Cubs fans hope Curse of April 20th strikes bullpen
Another curse is plaguing the Cubs. On April 20, 2005, Nomar Garciaparra blew out his groin muscle running out of the batter's box at Busch Stadium. Exactly a year later, Derrek Lee collided with Rafael Furcal at Dodger Stadium, breaking a bone in Lee's wrist and effectively ending his year. Superstition suggests something bad will happen Friday for the Cubs. Fans are hoping that if the Curse of April 20th does have to strike, that it strikes the bullpen.
