San Diego Padres @ NEW YORK METS -132 (J. Niese)

Diamond Hustler · 04-03-13, 08:52 AM

Well I won't be updating my first post anymore, since I was unaware you can't edit after 24 hours. So, to make things difficult I'll keep a running tab of my record in each post. Got Wandy and Wei on the bump today, hoping those Ws lead to some WINS!

Just out of curiosity... anyone out there check these plays? I'm not lonely, but it's been almost 3 weeks and I haven't heard a peep... Anyways, going out on somewhat of a limb again today, but the M's are fresh off a long home stand and could surprise Yu today.

First time visitor. hard to check into so many threads every day, TBH. There are pretty good daily discussions in a few threads, including but not limited to BiffTFinancial's, No Coincidences's, and Pacocn's.

I keep my picks in mebaran's hangout thread, but usually post thoughts elsewhere

BayArea888 · 04-19-13, 09:55 AM

great picks last night!

Diamond Hustler · 04-20-13, 07:38 AM

Thanks guys. Wasn't the performance I was looking for outta the M's, but I live to wager another day. Staying on the O's today following the rainout.

not sure i like the movement in the milwaukee game...gl to u though!

Diamond Hustler · 04-25-13, 08:56 AM

Thanks BayArea888, hats off to the Pads and Rays for righting the ship, but if you told me the Pads would only score 2 runs in a game I would bet the Brewers every single time no matter who's pitching. Pettitte and Estrada gave their teams a chance to win. Back early today and hopefully back to picking winners.

Heading out to O.co to see if the A's can muster up any offense. They REALLY need Yoenis back in the middle of that lineup.
