Other than the lone early game today, already in play and soon to be posted, need to run the numbers. Spent most of last night & this morning dealing with "life happens". I should have some 'notes'/'thoughts' in about a hour/hour and a half (pending how things go around here). Back asap.

Sorry for the Thursday results but know today is YOUR DAY! Looking forward to what you got for folks.

The forecast is in, but every streak must come to an end, and as usual the pressure is on. Odd play today: Mets fall into my friday system (not all plays are "Friday system" plays only one or two actually). The odd one was the Mets. As you know though:
1. I don't play against the boys.
2. Lilly is in.
3. You are on the Cubs.

PASS

I got one more I'll add in there at the end of the list I sorta like.

About prices

Folks this is an odd time of year. I might be wrong, and all you slicks in here I want to know what you think: Do prices seem odd to you? Seems to me the real profits to be made now are with the dogs. I am seeing a huge mismatch in technique's projected price, and the ones out on the market. Might it be time to let baseball work out it's odd kinks. I have never felt more compelled to take some time off. What do you boys think: are the prices in large deviation from fair?

I believe the books are telling everyone who they think has a chance and who is just playing out the string. The contenders are close to -200 & above. They're getting high juice cause they know the public likes to play favorites and you have alot of big market teams still alive. They also know that the dogs are gonna have their day like last night (10 of 13 covered), thus the only way they can balance is to jack up the juice enough to attract dog players and try and reel in the public money on the fav's. Make any sense??

therber2 · 08-28-09, 01:11 PM

Question for TA: I'm leaning on the Tigers today for maybe 2 units. What is your opinion of this play before I do it? And Fog too. Always want to hear from you guys when it comes to Detroit.

TA, I think you'll be okay with the Cubs. There is a definite home field advantage here. Cubs never lose at home with Lilly in. He's a favorite over here.

therber2 · 08-28-09, 01:12 PM

Ok let's rock then.

Sometime after ASB dogs were not hitting my system as well as they did prior. I then changed some things, but with minimal success...I have no idea what's going on. And the urge to shut things down was haunting me for a week... finally did it. Just a few days off is what you may need..

I didn't see the play, but being an avid Cubs fan I'm guessing it was a Soriano special in the 2nd??

No, that was in reference to the "spectacular" outfielder play before the bottom of the 8th, when things looked grim, on their account.

t4_ever · 08-28-09, 04:22 PM

Today only best 2 picks are: (5units each):

--->>> Tampa vs Detroit U8.5 <<<<<-----

&

--->>>> Minnesota -1.5 <<<<<--------- 6 games losing straight??.. need to win on the 7th game

GL to all

Apologies for not getting in here sooner, boys cars had issues and of course they were 180 degrees apart.

STL. Game graded out for two units first five but is

because amount on other game.

DET. Cold (15-20 degrees below normal temp) & rainy evening and doubt the game will start on-time, let alone play. If anything

or

with the home team. If DET wouldn't have Nate scheduled for Saturday, I would have gone

- but with him returning
