Good Luck tonight gentlemen, (you too Therbs)..........

Lol. Nice one Fog.

Guys, I'm slowin down with stuff. I've gotta cool off from this losing streak, and focus now on some other things now. Takin a break for a bit. If I see a good play; I'll post a write up; in the meantime. I got a few market plays instead; can't post em or the SEC will be on me. I'm frustrated because I missed out on some really great moves in the market that I had been waiting for....patiently. Maybe you can guess what that play would have been.... DOH! My job, girlfriend drama, and the gambling distracted me.

Anyways, good luck guys; I'll be in and out when I can.

1-1-0 losing $50 last night.

[mcbain]

Hey TA.

I'm on ATL tonight with young stud Hanson throwing against BAL and a struggling Berken.

Also like Cubs in the afternoon tilt. Wells has not given up much this year at all and Twins not same team on the road especially after already travelling through the entire west coast. Slowey a solid pitcher but better at home. Friday afternoon, WGN, Cubs win!

Also considering METS/Yanks over or perhaps just Mets over 4.

Stammen going for the Nats tonight. Has pitched 4 games this year, and has given up 16 runs in 22 innings. His last game out, he gave up 5 runs in 5 innings vs the Mets. His WHIP in his last 3 games is 1.56. Washington is 6-20 on the road, and they are batting .226 vs right handers in the last 10.

Tampa Bay:
Garza pitching for the Rays tonight, and he is winless in his last 4 starts, but with a respectable 3.65 ERA during that span, and a solid 1.06 WHIP in his last 3 games. The Rays are batting .277 in their last 10 vs right handers, and have scored 20 runs in their last 2 games.

PICK: Tampa Bay (1 unit RL, -120)

[therber2]

Alright guys, I got a nice big old play here on my Cubbies (Swarzak and Harden) today. No worries, it is strictly numbers.....

I told the gf I'd let her know when I'm 75%+ on a Cubs play (home); aaaand I have work at the shop. Gotta skip it. Time is running out. I'm going to start a record like a self respecting capper if you folks don't mind looking at something ugly all the time.

0-0 0%
Cubs 2 units
Cards 1.5 unit
Sea/Col o9 .5 unit

[therber2]

Belated but still nice write up on the game. I honestly do not know how the games turned out as I was a tad busy but hope you cashed from it. Will be watching some of yesterdays games today and Sunday to get caught back up. Looking forward to seeing & reading your Saturday report.

Win or lose you've always been around showing your support, thank you. Sorry any tickets you had on them didn't cash. Looking forward to seeing what YOU have going.

[TodaysAction]

Everyone has bad nights now and then. Hopefully today will be the start of a solid string of winning days and nights for you.

how could the mets drop a pop up to lose .... =/

Didn't see it but would guess the same way a goalie gets beat from the five hole.

Yeah, FOG win or lose you've got your head on straight. Thanks for the taking the time here brutha. You are definatly the U/O specialist here. What do you or anyone else think about D-Backs/Astros o9 -130? It's lookin good to me. Also, 78% of the public is on the over for the Cards. Don't have an opinion, but that is something I would lean towards fading. Looks like the books can't make up their minds on this one.

[therber2]

COL/SEA .5 unit

Time to test my theory.
-Average-to high slug rates (maybe a little lower than I would like..)
-Wind is pointed straight out
-High ERA's

Thanks for dropping in again. Looks like you got yourself a nice night. Well done and congrats.

Yea, someone pist in my Kornflakes and I tend to take those kind of things real personal. Keep cranking.

Thanks t4_ever. Sorry you missed on the Cardinals. Hope your WNBA cashed for you.

Glad you saw some of the though process - done for each game and other factors not listed. I found a way that I could post some of the information without corrupting the formulas. Don't get use to seeing them.

Hate mail is just so WRONG. String together four or five positive days and then have one go south/wrong and you should read some of them. Stuff happens. Gave thought to getting another e-mail account but to me that would be like giving into the the pricks. Maybe there asses shouldn't be gambling with money they need for household expenses. Haters, you aren't getting through any longer as adjustments on the account have been made - YOU LOSE!

[TodaysAction]

2-1-0 and +6.25 units for Saturday. Back Sunday with "something".

[Foghorn]

Good Morning. It's a bright and beautiful day, and I thought I would get at least one write up today, since I haven't been around much lately. Try to get another one later.

Hey Therbs, just saw your post from yesterday. Hope you played that over (Ariz/Hous), if so, great job.

Hey TA, don't worry about the haters. They are around, and they probably will always be around. They aren't any good at picking themselves, so it makes them feel better to have someone else to blame for their problems . I think they are entertaining because they hide behind these "made-up" identities, and they can say stuff they would never say to your face, and for which they can't be held accountable. I see it in other threads too, though it's not too bad here it seems. I feel bad for the good people in these threads that are contributing and trying to help others out, but these idiots come in to try and disrupt or bring hate.

Anyways, these idiots are the ones who probably weren't breast fed , or who weren't loved by their parents, or were bed-wetters til they were 19, or can't get a girlfriend, or keep a job, or interact with society. Therefore, I like to keep them around for entertainment. It's free and they make me laugh.

I will be back with a pick shortly (although I'm not too short, I'm only 5-11). Love having you guys around.

Foghorn: The guy has a mouth like a canon, he is always shootin' it off.

[Foghorn]

Been off my on my picks lately, only going at a 50% clip or maybe a little below. Need to get untracked and get this thing rolling again.

San Diego vs Los Angeles:

San Diego:
Chris Young on the mound today. He is 7-1 in inter-league play in his career and is 3-2 with a 5.52 ERA vs the Angels. In his last start on tuesday, he gave up 5 runs to the Dodgers in 5 innings. In his last 3 starts, he is 0-3 with a 4.76 ERA and a WHIP of 1.35. He is 0-4 in his away starts with a 7+ ERA, along with a 1.71 WHIP. The Padres are only batting .231 as a team in their last 10, and .237 vs right handers. They are without 2 of their short-stops and their CF.

Los Angeles:
Jered Weaver, who is arguably their Ace of the staff is pitching today. He is 3-0, with a 1.71 ERA and a remarkable WHIP of 0.95. Weaver did walk 4 in his last outing, which is a season high for him. LA is hot at the bat right now, especially after getting Tori Hunter back this week. They are batting .299 in their last 10, and have scored 20 runs in the last 2 games (San Diego). No injuries for their positional players.

Other: San Diego is not the same team on the road. They are 9-22 and have lost 3 of their last 4, all on the road.

PICK: Los Angeles (3 units, RL +110) the ML has no value at -191
Record: 17-10-1 (+8.0 units)

Let's pound the books, boys..............

[therber2]

COL/SEA .5 unit

Time to test my theory.
-Average-to high slug rates (maybe a little lower than I would like..)
-Wind is pointed straight out
-High ERA's

....wind changed.
Let's try one of these again.

TA, I'm glad that I'm not as popular as you ::cough cough:: Hate mail should be taken with pride though. I'd love to get a hate mail every now and then, but everyone loves me . FOG, you getting any yet? By the way FOG, yes I did cash on Arizona over and I played the fade with the Cards (fade of the public; not you TA). Only bummer of the day was the Cubbies; very bittersweet moment. They can't hit. It was the one thing holding me back; cold bats. I'll play them again today with the Cards again as well.

-Cards 1 unit
-Cubs .5 unit
-NYY .5 unit (New York ftw!)
-Seattle 1 unit
-Seattle/Col 1 unit (Today looks better on this one. Nasty Colorado bullpen, high slugging percents for Seattle....aaaand a nice sunny day with the winds pointed out [I'm going off weather.com for that direction stuff, but I doubt it's accuracy]).

Record: 1-2-0 (-1.7 units)

[TodaysAction]

Foghorn,

Well said. Nice daily write-up and hit it as well plus straight up.
