Hard work has a tendency to go up in a ball of flame when it goes wrong.  This form of combustion was seen recently both in our beloved baseball and a sport on the collegiate level.  As we look back on these, we will have a new drink of the day to imbibe.  This will remind us to avoid the flames of failure and push on with the America’s Bookie’s Free Pick of the Day.  So without any further ado, we present the Fireball in all its glory.

Too Much Cake : Oregon Ducks Track Team

Winning the race was not enough for this Oregon Duck.  Coasting to the finish line, he took this moment to have his cake and eat it to.  As he panders to the crows and implores them to honor his moment in the sun, a solitary figure from the Washington Huskies makes his move.  Inch by inch he catches up, passes, and fist pumps his own victory.   All of Oregon’s hard work went up in a fireball when ego got in the way.

The Fireball Explodes on the Drinking Scene

Every year comes new flavors and combinations that take the celebration scene by storm.  This go around sees the infusion of cinnamon and whiskey taking off to new heights.  The Fireball brand is proving to be one of the more popular choices people are using as a foundation for fireworks this summer.  After three years, what makes people keep on coming back is the nostalgia factor.  We all remember Red Hots candy from our youth.  Put that in liquid form and you have the start of something special.  Cocktails all around are being featured using this.  Even my breakfast staple, coffee, has mated with this firey foe.  A quality hazelnut bean brewed with just a dash of Fireball gives your rocket fuel an even more potent punch.  Try it and your handicapping will be easier and more enjoyable because of this coffee concoction.

Finally we saw the Detroit Tigers win streak come to an abrupt end.  Sanchez brought his gas can to the mound and gave up three home runs to the Pirates.  Today we have Detroit near a +105 under dog.  No one has silenced their bats yet and do not expect the same level of fireworks to be given up in the Steel City.  Your America’s Bookie Rebound Pick of the Day are the Tigers to take it tonight.
