by the way, what do those 2P, and 3P plays mean?? im assumin their on pucks?

as always, BOL

Good evening Jobe2004,

Yes it was, the only regret was I did not put more on it. Thank you.

Yes, they were (and are) pucks selections. I use

for frozen pond selections. Correct, 2P was for the second period and 3P for the third. They don't count in the baseball record but I post them in here since some don't know where the Hockey Forum is.

and good luck with your selections as well.

Hey TA, know what you mean. I had my left arm jacked up playing junior hockey and only have partial use of it now. Fortunately, I was able to get an education, married a wonderful woman, I get to do these kind of things, still play hockey a day or two a week, and overall, I have a pretty good life. We will have to keep in touch. Good Luck tonight.

Glad you got the education and have a wonderful, loving and caring wife who accepts you for who and what you are. If you need anything contact me off the site and if it's doable, it'll happen.

Cleveland @ Kansas City: (under 4-1/2 first 5 innings)

Cleveland: Lee has rebounded from a slow start. His record is deceiving (2-5) because when he does pitch well, he doesn't get a lot of run support. In Lee's last 3 starts he has an ERA of 1.64 and a WHIP of 1.32. In his last 4 starts he has given up 0, 1, 3, 0 runs. In April this season, he gave up 2 runs in 7 innings against KC.

Kansas City: Bannister is 4-1 with an ERA of 1.62 in 6 starts vs Cleveland. In his last 3 starts, he has an ERA of 2.65 and a WHIP of 1.29. In his last 4 starts he has given up 2, 0, 3, 1 runs. He has given up 3 runs or less in all of his starts.

In their last 10 games, Cleveland is batting .250 vs rights handed pitchers, and KC is batting .219 vs left handers.

PICK: under 4-1/2 for the first 5 innings.
Record: 6-2 (+2.5 units)

Good Luck to everyone tonight. Go Red Wings !!!!!!!!!

Hey TA: don't do much pucks, although I coach AAA hockey in Detroit. If I was a gambler (lol) I would probably go Wings -1.5. It's +155 and until Chicago demonstates they can stop us I may play that. Detroit has the last change, so the match ups favor Detroit. Good Luck in whatever you do.

Nice job with the UNDER tonight!

Good morning t4_ever,

Does it only go 7 games or until one gets the 2 out of 3?

Correct, I am NOT using that process. Similar to how hockey selections are derived, there is a baseball formula.

I am not a fan of a process telling win I need to win 2 out of 3 before the series can be closed/done. With baseball the match-ups do not always line up that way. There are times in a three or four game series that I will and have played both teams cashing each time.

However, if this works for you and you're fine with it, do it and go make some money.

TodaysAction · 05-20-09, 06:58 AM

At least nine games and/or selections from the diamond today. Yup, there will be a puck too. And maybe a few other things as well.

RoagBettor · 05-20-09, 07:44 AM

TA, I've noticed that you haven't updated your record since May 5. I know you went thru a rough period this month as did I, but do you have current stats for your plays?

Thanks.

cohen59 · 05-20-09, 08:29 AM

Great job last night the red wings kept me on the edge my seat more than i would have liked but it made for a great game GO WINGS!!!

cocknocker · 05-20-09, 11:46 AM

Twinkies line movement is nice.... Giants/Padres over 8 has the best movement or lack thereof out of the totals that I have seen today. White Sox always go under too, so a peek at the under in their matchup with the Twins might be the way to go too! Good luck to ya today and all days!

TodaysAction · 05-20-09, 02:20 PM

RoagBettor,

Yes I did. Yes I do. May is 86-88-3. The YTD is 222-214-7. They get updated off-site after the last wager is completed every night. The YTD here remains cash positive if that's what you're after. Have a nice night.

Good afternoon cohen59,

Thank you. To me CHI looked like they were playing afraid/scared/worried/ your term knowing they really needed to get a split in DET to have any type of chance this series. Don't get ahead of yourself, all DET did was do what they should have. The advantage now swings to the Blackhawks as they get last changes, the comforts of home, etc. Game three will tell much about their future, and believe me they have a good one ahead of them. but will it be good, very good or the team to beat in the West. The cup goes through Motown until otherwise proven. Wings win this year's series - it's just a matter of time (number of games).

milwaukee mike · 05-20-09, 02:36 PM

hi todays action.
i agree entirely with your post. how many games do you think it will go?

You've been around long enough to know what I got cooking for tonight, so why didn't you pull up a chair and join us? Hell, there's always room for one more. Couldn't pass on the over eight from yesterday's MN/CWS game, it pushed, and was a hairball from going over not once but twice. I know you're into JV right now, and understandably so, don't forget to grab the (full) first half. Feels like it's going to be muggy this evening and the ball might be an ounce or two heavier than normal - still got three plus hours until game time. Thank you and to your family and yourself.

Good afternoon milwaukee mike,

As it stands right now, five or six max. I'll need to see the players faces around the 8-12 minute mark (1P). I realize they will basically going all out for game three to try and get back in the series but if they happen to have a couple "Oh shit!" minutes at the wrong time, it could be over in four. I wish I could give you a better answer so you could hedge a couple wagers as to how long the series goes but today right now I'm not comfortable enough to tell you or others. They will be worth a futures ticket if the price doesn't get trimmed to much. Some will tell you I have "homer" vision, let me set you/others straight, not when there's money on the line as I want and like to win. Good luck with your selections.

Thanks TA, I thought you were still cash positive because I saw you've hit some nice big plays also. Keep up the good work!

Thank you Ditaln1. Yes, it is FL. Just keep thinking about that game more and more, watching lines shift to & fro, along with other indicators that things there are looking promising.

Hey TA, good luck on the Florida game, just got home and they are off to a fast start.

Don't like doing Tiger games because I am a fan, so here goes.

Texas vs Detroit:
Texas: Harrison is pitching great right now. In his last 4 games, his ERA is 1.80. His last 3 games his ERA is .078 with a WHIP of .070

Detroit: Verlander is pitching just as well right now and maybe pitching the best of his career. In his last 4 games he is 3-0 with an ERA of 0.92.

Neither team hit well last night, and the wind is blowing right to left and should help the pitchers.

PICK: Under 5 for first five innings (1 unit)
Record: 7-2 (+3.5 units)

GOOD LUCK TO ALL TONIGHT, LET'S GET EM......

Sorry TA, I got on late because I was researching games and I saw your FL play. Wasn't trying to steal your thunder. I appreciate you sharing your plays and insight. Good Luck on the rest of your plays tonight.

NOTE: A friend invited me to Chicago to go to the hockey game. I'm glad Detroit won the first two so I don't have to hear any

from him. Go Wings !!!!!!!!

therber2 · 05-20-09, 06:38 PM

TA why the secret play on FL bud?? Btw I was in the beautiful city of Champaign before. Workin on some business I have goin there. Gettin back into the groove now. GL tonight bro.

By the way,

Blackhawks will win the next meeting with your home team!

Rick22 · 05-20-09, 06:44 PM

Good Luck TA - gonna tail your SD pick, but gotta stick with the Brewers to keep going. They've been so good to me lately. Good Luck with the balance....

Thank you, it'd be nice but doesn't happen too often with a slate this big. As long as the cash is ahead at the end of the night, all is well & yes even if that would mean going "1-5-0 but up $200".

Nothing to apologize for, you're here when you're here and when you're not, you're not. The family only selection was the under first half TX/DET.

Game three is their season. Look for a warrior-like effort from them for if they drop it, there will not be a game six. Enjoy the trip and congrats on cashing the first halfer.

Good evening theberb2,

FL was NOT a secret play. I proved I was human in the thread but "got it right" in the contest thread. Hope the trip was pleasurable for you.

Let's put it this way, if they don't your team's season is over and we both know it. Game three is EVERYTHING for CHI but never underestimate your opponent. If CHI wins the game, they will have earned it as the Red Wings lay down for nobody.

Good morning rake922,

Correct, it has not been updated since it's listed date. If you would like it to be updated, don't beat around the bush just ask. I don't live on here 24/7 like some and keep things in perspective (balancing family life, "work", what not, etc). Those who have been on board since the beginning are up. "Rich" is a relative term for what is rich for yourself and Ted Turner most likely are not the same. My family and I are comfortable and glad SD won. Have a nice day & thanks for visiting.

Your first post was on the 16th and now again on the 20th ... Jump, jump ... Why haven't you done as I asked? ... Jump, jump ... Had you taken the time to read the posts between your first pile of horseshit and your second pile of manure, you'd have seen the records were updated and gotten the information what you were looking for. ... And my siggy is so important to you because, what was that reason again? ... Get a life ~~jackoff~~. Bye bye.
