Baseball and gambling are both beautiful. In baseball, a loss is temporary. It’s an every day sport. Take a loss one night, and you have tomorrow to try and win. It goes the same for gambling. Bet big on one team and take a loss at night, and you still have tomorrow to try again to win.

Unfortunately for baseball teams in October though, a string of losses results in their season ending. Just ask the Phillies. And possibly the Padres, who lost their shot to end the Dodgers season at home last night, and now are also on the brink in a decisive Game 5 tomorrow in Los Angeles.

But for Diamond and his followers, a loss doesn’t put us on the brink. It puts us back on the horse. And, unlike San Diego, our season doesn’t come down to a win or lose bet tomorrow night. It’ll continue on no matter the result. In fact, it continues on today. We don’t have an off day. Gambling is an every day sport. Giddy up.
