WOW!! Un-fucking believable!! SPOILER ALERT...

[madinmaryland]

I'll have Another wins again at the VERY END!!

WOW!!

[taterguy]

1. Since when do live sporting events require a Spoiler Alert?

[madinmaryland]

3. Is it ok to suggest that the poster that I am responding to . . .

is an asshole??

Lighten the fuck up, Francis!

[El Supremo]

4. I was wondering the same thing.

Who would want to see the Preakness on TIVO or whatever without knowing the result?

[madinmaryland]

6. Well you never know what DH enthusiast is watching the game on TIVO from Colorado.

Just thinking of you, El.

[taterguy]

7. It was a race, not a game

Ignoramus

[madinmaryland]

8. Someone that says what you just said might be considered in most situations a...

dumbass.

[El Supremo]

10. Maybe he thought it was morning in London like the Olympics...

and didn't want to watch it live in the middle of the night here.

[madinmaryland]

13. How does that explain losing 10-3 to the Mariners???

Nice eye-roll!

[El Supremo]

15. Wait! You really are British and were deported back to England...

and they have the race on time delay. That would explain your "coulorful humour".

[Renew Deal]

24. I'm not sure why anyone would want to see any horse race including the Preakness

But I guess the Belmont can be interesting if a pony is going for the Triple Crown.

[Renew Deal]

23. Since always

[cherokeeprogressive]

2. I'll Have Another has another!

[Faygo Kid]

5. WOW indeed. What a race! We could be looking at a Triple Crown winner.

Bodemeister isn't going to make it at a mile and a half in the Belmont. Could be remembered as another Sham or Alydar.

I've been watching the horses for 50 years, and I'll Have Another is no fluke. I picked him in this one when everyone was picking Bodemeister. Massive chest and the look of a winner. Which he is. Nobody is Secretariat, but he could be another Affirmed or Spectacular Bid.

[Justpat]

11. Spectacular Bid did not win the Triple Crown

He got beat in the Belmont.

You might be thinking of Seattle Slew who won the TC in '77.

[Faygo Kid]

16. You're right. The memory isn't what it used to be. Seattle Slew, definitely.

Thanks for the catch.

The worst thing I learned today in surfing the net after this great race was that the wonderful Alydar was murdered in a terrible way for insurance money. I never knew that before.

[JonLP24]

18. I don't know if it still is

but that used to be fairly common in the horse racing industry. One of the shady things I learned that went on surrounding the circumstances of Helen Brach's murder from an episode of one of those crime shows on TruTV. Helen Brach was a widow of someone who worked for the Brach candy company.

[KamaAina]

9. Thirty. Four. Years.

Many fully-fledged grownups, including some of my very best friends, have never seen a Triple Crown. Even I was a teenager then.

We haven't even gotten this far since Code Brown's choke job four years ago. Can we please, please get it done, I'll Have Another? I'll even buy you a bag of carrots!

[backwoodsbob]

14. that horse has HEART

he just kept digging and digging at the lead.I"ll Have Another is a wondrous horse.

I can see a real shot at the triple crown here.

[El Supremo]

17. Spoiler Alert! Video >>

Damn exciting!

On edit: I forgot to add the spoiler alert for MIM.

[madinmaryland]

19. Thanks for the alert, taterguy!

[taterguy]

20. You were replying to El Supremo, not me

Dumbass

[Jack Rabbit]

21. Does this have anything to do with Brewers beating up the Twins, 16-4

. . . in a real baseball game?

[Jack Rabbit]

22. Or maybe Strasburg hitting a home run with a man on in the fourth?

Nats 9, Orioles 3

[Jack Rabbit]

25. Or some other reason that demonstrates the DH rule does nothing for baseball?
