I bet the following before the season with /u/PhilR8 that Markakis would reach 4 of the following 6 stat milestones :Avg: .290 Actual: .276 noOBP: .370 Actual: .342 noDoubles: 40 Actual: 27 noHR: 15-20 Actual: 14 noRuns: 90 Actual: 81 noHits: 185 Actual:177 noI bet that if I was wrong I would literally print out my words and eat them in a milkshake.Now, /u/PhilR8 refused to actually meet me on the bet on equal terms saying "I mean, I'm not eating anything. I'm willing to change flair or stuff like that." and eventually settled on 10 dollars to Orioles Reach.So it was more a bet against myself then anything.I was doing pretty good until Nick's big game in Chicago in August: http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/gl.cgi?id=markani01&t=b&year=2014&share=3.04#1211-1333-sum:batting_gamelogsBut after he landed awkwardly on that chain link fence out there he was never the same and batted .196 the rest of the season.Then signed as a free agent with the Barves. You're killing me Nick!Anyway, here's the photos!
