    Would you Play Scrubbies/Rox if it wasnt a day game

    I already seeing ppl ready to jump on this shit. Look this is a makeup gm, which instantly makes it suck. rox gotta stop over when they should be going home. Of coarse Scrubbies blow but can you honestly say there isnt a good chance Garza pitches well catching Rox in bad spot? He still has the stuff (just not real bright), same could be said about rox hitters at times, they mailed it in getteway day against cle with Nyy on deck, whos to say Garza isnt throwing hard and Rox swing at a lot of pitches to get the hell home?

    Of coarse Col better team but would you honestly touch this if it wast the 1st game on a slow day?

    The only good bet i found on this game was go to work for a nice afternoon day and make some cash, instead of flipping coins in this one....lets hear who you got

    matt garza hasn't been the same since he left tampa,
    and the rockies might light 'em up like a christmas tree!
    I like the rockies here in a big way... if anything, the rockies
    are going to be pissed and resentful because they are being forced
    to stop in chicago and administer a beat down on the way back home!
    leaning rockies RL, because I see garza getting touched up for several
    earned runs in the first few innings... degenerate play monday!

    Im all ears to see something convincing but i didnt have to look 2 minutes to see this was not a gm id bet , so why bet it unless there some kind of angle? "Rox will be mad doesnt do it for me", no offense there a 50/50 shot that is right. problem is you are not getting 50/50 price.

    big dan, you seem cool, and I respect you're 'cappin', so I'm willing to let you know,
    I'm not flipping coins over here, brah. I've been watching garza pitch for a while, and
    while he was effectively pitching in the american league east, he has been inconsistent
    and sporadic (at best) in the national league. the colorado bats are hot, and I believe
    the intelligent play of the rockies will manufacture offensive production early, and the
    exceptional pitching of chacin will keep the cubbies lackluster offense off point and anemic...
    and I consistently fade the cubs at home in the daytime. certainly check the weather
    forecast before I call in a wager, but that's my lean, and I'm sticking to it! monday is my
    day off, so I'm stoked about daytime baseball at wrigley on monday! good luck all around-
    whatever you decide, big dan. good call on that mariners score earlier! cash 'em, money!

    That's realistic. I'm sure you haven't watched too much Pro-wrestling in your adult life.

    You took it wrong, but yea you basically flipping a coin at - money in this one, not saying that what you do to cap, im saying that what this game is. You just said it yourself "Garza is inconsistent", all im saying is there a good chance you see good Garza facing a tired Rox team that should be headed home after a couple tough series.

    Once again didnt really mean you were a coin flipper or dart thrower, just saying this game is a coin flip at best and i only flip coins at plus money. BOL

    yea it raining here in da Lou also. that might make it hard for me to not bet this gm. Man if this gets washed out id fade the hell out of Rox 2marro, having to stop in o'hare sit around all day then leave, no way they give a shit about their 1st home gm.

    Oh yea they will get it in if possible, but nothing worse than having a play on a game that goes thru delays, weird shit tends to happen in them, i remember a perfectly good under i played in chi when Cards were there. smooth sailing then the sky opened up and i know what was coming next, sure as shit a hole gang of runs

    Something up Houli, just saw BM had total at 11.5, they must be expecting some serious wind at some point.

    garza is not right. his bb/k ratio has dramatically tailed recently (which is his strength) and has given up 3 hrs in his last two starts.

    On the rox in this one. All the things I use to cap games, starters, pens, runs scored, w/l within the last 2 weeks all favor the rox in this one. Cacin is no slouch and Garza is well Garza. The weather might fukk everything up and turn it into a crapshoot. But since I'm locked in already ROXXXX! GL

    Kazmir/Pena and Garza are all reasons why no one should ever trade with the Rays.

    All those things you using to cap this game can pretty much get thrown out because of the situation (not even talking about the weather), think a good reference point would be to look at the makeup gm tb had to go to Det and play after a long successful trip, 2-1 game and Coke was the starter for Tigers. Granted this Rox trip wanst nearly as long and not coast to coast like the Rays was, and Scrubbies are no Tiges, but it is still a big change for players who are mentally prepared to be done with tough yanks series and should be flying home to have to stop in chitown and get rained on for a extra gm.

    Rightfully under normal circumstances sure i wouldnt argue Rox play and they could still win i just think its way to hard to predict the outcome in gms like this cause a lot more plays into it than the numbers.

    No shit. I always like Garza but damn straight you know when you trading with tampa you gonna be seeing the pieces you give up excelling while the guys you got fall apart. they do pretty damn well in the best div money can buy w/o a lot of money.

    fwiw

    Cubs are the worst fielding team in baseball. It stopped raining for now, but it rained medium to light for 2 hours. If more rain comes by gametime and the field goes to shit, expect more crap in the field. This would worry me if I liked the Over or the Cubs.

    If it doesn't rain again, they still have quality oportunities to shit the bed. lol
