BlackJack and Paul Lo Duca join forces today to discuss more on the Bryce Harper deal and whether he'll succeed in Philly. What do they like among Harper's over/unders - batting average, HRs, RBIs? 
Then, they preview a few conference tournament slates. Is there any value betting on Duke to win the ACC tournament? Or is there another play? Also, is it possible for the Big 12 tourney to end without Bill Self holding the trophy? 
Finally, it's time for more Story Time with Paul Lo Duca. Today's features an escape from minor league camp and, perhaps more importantly, more shenanigans at a California Denny's, including the most ludicrously named menu item of all time.
