Columbus Crew against New York City Football Club, 1 June 2019, 7:30 pm

Exactly what someone who stole something would say!

 

NYCFC a surprisingly good away team at 3-1-3

Crew a decent home team at 4-3-1

Still going with a crew win by one (win one for the steffener!)




*votes*

Wait a second... Oh my lanta! NYCFC has only lost one game all year? What have I just done?

 

That won't mend my heart, professor!

 

He is on summer break.

Do not expect a response. Ever.

 

I thankfully have mine already. Everyone in the household has one I liked them so much when they came out.

I did get an email about the Gear Sale coming up. Tickets (?) for it even.

 

So I heard the patrons were blown away by their gentlemen's club experience that night.....Is that near the infamous area known as the "North Dixie Strip"?

Seriously though, I hope you and your family escaped damage from the twister. I grew up in the Dayton area and experienced two tornadoes in my youth. Scary stuff for sure!

 

How dare you, sir, call that strip infamous?!?

Oh, wait...yep, definitely infamous.

 

The one and only. The Living Room was just south of the strip proper, but I liked to think of it as the welcome center. That part of the Gem City has lost a bit of it's lustre; a few of the more "popular" clubs have been shut down for various violations the past few years.

Thank you. We escaped without injury and only slight property damage. Fortunately, the wee kids slept through most of it, so they didn't get any terrification.

All things considered, we were very lucky. My neighbor had trees come down on his house and a few cars.

Now if we could just get drinking water and power...

 

Does the Dixie highway extend north of the Ohio river? I thought it ended at Covington?

 

Since MLS (and everyone else) believes that wagering is the key tothe future of sports in the US, herewith are the current odds at one of the major online books:

• New York City FC +¼-126 o2½-121 +196
  
  Columbus Crew -¼+100 u2½-105 +134

• Draw +239

 

There are multiple "Dixie Highways" that still exist today north of the Ohio River. The one through Ohio ended up being designated as US 25, which does end at Covington. Look for "Dixie Dr." as well as the traditional name throughout. They typically parallel I-75.

Another branch headed towards Chicago, which more or less paralleled US 41 or US 31.

My wife and I traveled the Dixie Hwy in Ohio from Vandalia to Beaverdam. And she never left me!

I sometimes use old roads like these as metaphors for my solo musical projects, well at least Route 66 and the Lincoln Highway. Not surprisingly, commercial success is still daunting.

 

I have no idea what this means, other than City is the favorite. Translate, please?

 

It actually shows us as a slight favorite at +134 compared to +196 for NYCFC.

 

What the sh*t? Is this golf?

 

i refuse to vote out of protest.

 

No, Cricket. But it's only Day 3 of a 5-Day Test Match so don't worry.

 

I have one i love it tho

 

It's how much you'd have to bet to win $100 if you wager correctly. So $134 if you bet on the Crew and they win and $196 for NYCFC.

 

It is rare indeed to find a line favoring the visitor in MLS. You just never see it.

 

And the middle.number is the over/under, which is 2 1/2 in this case, with the 3 digit number following it representing the payout on a 100 dollar bet.

 

Much obliged, sir. I now feel like I should use this knowledge to find a place to lay $100 on NYCFC.

 

Its going to be interesting to see who starts this week.

 

Who's left ?

 

Exactly....

If I wasn't 63, they might trot me out.....
