Thank you, trust me, my jaw dropped, my heart sank, and my eyeballs popped last night. Today is a new day. I am trying to just pick 3 games I like the most and pound it. Mostly looking at Cubs, Phillies, and you-broke-my-heart Giants. Still want to do my dog experiment of course.

Good luck today.

That's the spirit.

Really interesting thought there Karma. Another question is whether or not there was some player factor for the team due to either an upset or revenge. I think many of us have thought the same thing: does day game or night game affect a specific team's performance? I'd try correlate the above though with home/away and upset or streak, etc. Could I ask you what resource(s) you used to find the results above? It is always a pain for me to figure out what time a previous game was.

Excel is my friend!

Easy to manipulate.. all you have to do is enter every game daily with start times. Also, like to make notes in there about those situations you mentioned.. but as we all know it's tough to find trends that are consistent. I swear I'm liking that under more and more... it's Texas afterall.. and these two teams have played twice already in the last 24 hours.

Man, good for you to stay positive like that. I like the Cubs a lot. 95% positive that will be a play for me. LET"S GET THEM!

Another thought there that I agree with. Most of the time I try to take advantage of a line jacked up with an overrated pitcher in. Not saying Feldman is overrated in this case; however, I'd put the Indians long term abilities, line value, and verge of getting swept into account here for the lean. Look at any recent stats, and the Rangers are out performing the Indians. So coin toss for me. Waiting on TA's thoughts here.

True, for me it's a coin toss as well. And I feel, more then Feldman being overrated per se (he's not), that Carmona is getting dissed. Oh, and here's another one for ya... Indians haven't been swept in a series at home since the ASB.

TX/CLE,

Didn't get to look up HP Ump but going with U8.5 and CLV in Texas/Cleveland tilt.

. Game didn't qualify for a play of any type less

. The numbers say TX outscores them but they didn't get the majority of game wins.

Rangers $$$

and score first $$$

What's up next sir?
I am leaning on the Cubs with the boys here. What say you? Zambrano has been disappointing; I think he'll put on a show for us. Decent bats too.

Thank you IcE and to you as well.

Roots416 · 09-09-09, 11:26 AM

Well TEXs bats are?... HOT!!! so far so good, now let's see if TEX pitching can keep up... they're being given quite a cushion!!

For a split second I thought you were talking about the

Rangers.

Nice way to start the day. Next up is the 2:05pm EST game. Posting it here shortly.

oda11 · 09-09-09, 11:31 AM

Cubs 2 units.

Yeah, well... maybe you should stick to the NBA and tennis, you tool! Only you can lose an investment in under 20 minutes. Oh, and keep capping at work.. see how that pans out.

41 pitches, 6 hits, 5 runs on 2 homeruns.. in the 1st with 2 outs. Honestly, I could have pitched better then that..

Ohhh come on now. You don't like the boys? Haha. I agree, the numbers aren't there, and you know about my curse playing them.

Not those Rangers. I think we'd be a whole lot more excited. (by the way, just to clarify; I was on Clev for game [lean], and actually played the

and the TEX to score first). Maybe Clev for the second half.

Actually I have to be going somewhere real soon. Do you think you could email or PM me your thoughts for the remaining afternoon games?

TodaysAction · 09-09-09, 11:37 AM

STL,

SF,

SD/SF,

Grab JV before it gets to pricey.

therber2 · 09-09-09, 11:39 AM

For the 2:05 game I like Brewers to win maybe RL. Cards I think will be up in the first half even units for each bet. Again though no play as of yet.

I'll lay 2 units for -175 on the Giants

Not today - same situation as the TX/CLE game, one team outscores them but doesn't get the majority of the C&B (checks & balances).

I know but that's where the mind is over half the time right now. I got what you were doing - I haven't hit the Everclear yet today!

Oh wait that's someone else who gets

faced while capping the games.

Strongest thing I've had today was some cranberry juice. FWIW,

It happens now and then but always realize money in your pocket always bests post in a forum. Congrats on your cashing!
