Nobody wins all the time and nobody loses all the time. The day is not complete and there are wagers pending.

Is the day done? Nobody wins every day, anyone claiming that is not being truthful and nobody loses every day.

[TodaysAction]

Looks like there's going to be a game seven (Friday) at The Joe.

[cohen59]

1st Play:

Angles ML -- Winner

[TodaysAction]

Draps scored so the over 1' 3P cashes. Wings trail by a goal. PIT is playing on their heals right now.

[TodaysAction]

Wings on the PP from a cross-checking penalty.

[t4_ever]

[TodaysAction]

Cohen is eating his Wheaties! Nice job brutha. I was with you on the teaser, and the cubs. I lost more than I won though on the dumb Sox. Next time I will trust my intuition, and TA's "wouldn't touch it" recommendations. I was getting frustrated; the contest pretty much dictates how my last month has gone.

Cohen, next post of plays; would you mind taking your top or something and doing a write up like me and Fog?

TA, same with you....if you wouldn't mind. Thanks guys; that would be cool.

If you post in the thread that i made for today with my picks and want a write up for a certain game i will do that for you BOL tonight!

[TodaysAction]

cohen59,

Congrats on your 5-1 last night! While you did not go 3-3 or 4-2 as I thought, you didn't make 6-0. Please make your $100 donation to the "Make A Wish Foundation" in your area and post the canceled check or receipt if you opt for a cash giving.

----------------

theberb2,

Sorry I do not do write-ups for here. Everything listed here is from a system being used. That being said, what I will do is make an effort to have write ups now and then. Best I got today.

[TodaysAction]

STL/FL, , win 10.00 units (multiple accounts)

TOR/TX, , win 14.00 units (multiple accounts)

LAD, win 5.00 units

[Dexter]

The results from round 1 are in, and play begins again tomorrow with everyone back at the 60 unit starting bankroll. I guess theres something to the contest creator getting knocked out in the first round (see sam) but its cool - i'll be back to break that hex with a sweet ass structured NFL season long contest

The only thing I will change for next years baseball contest is reseeding after each round factoring in your net units, and make the daily limit be 20% instead of 15%

Good Luck all and pm me or suicidekings with any questions.

MN, 550/500

[mcbain]

550 units TA or dollars?

I enjoy reading your thread but have rarely commented.

I do not however, share your love for the Red Wings! But that is another story.

I wish you continued success...

Good afternoon mcbain,

Tis dollars sir. Sometimes I list them like the above, others it'd be like 5.50/5.00, win $500 or win 5.00 units. Sorry, thought this was "common" knowledge.

thank you. Honest injun, I don't get mad, angry, upset at people on the other side of the game I'm on so your thoughts, ideas and comments are welcome. Yes, that includes you not liking the Wings. What would your team then be?

Thank you and to you as well.

[TodaysAction]

Time to start thinking about our All-Star Team. I know, there's "plenty of time" until then, but it doesn't hurt to start tinkering with/creating the list.

[mcbain]

Even though I live in Calgary, I have cheered for the Buffalo Sabres since I was 8 (30 years and counting).

I seem to like underdog teams which I guess is why I don't like the Wings, they just win too much and I am sick of it! I acknowledge they are great but it would be nice to see someone else get the job done.

Living in Canada though, and dealing with the sickening TV overcoverage of a certain team, I can honestly say I hate the Leafs more than any other team.

But enough about hockey. I love baseball as well and have quite a bit of knowledge about pitchers so I may post a few ideas/picks in here the odd time.

No need to apologize about the way you listed the MIN bet -- I was just used to your unit system and thought you might have went ballistic and bet 500 units! (not likely)

I get your point about wanting to see other teams and were it not the Wings, I'd probably agree with you. Saw games at Olympia, The Joe and have gone on the road to see them. I appreciate the talent level as a team they have. One thing I'm grateful for is channel 9 which is CBC. Might not always agree with the announcers and/or commentators but it gives another perspective on the game.

Not a problem, just been in a rut and wanted to break it up for a change. There have been times when I've proven to be human by forgetting the decimal point, so to me it was a valid question.

LET'S GO RED WINGS!

Looking forward to your contributions to the thread whenever you're ready to make them.

1H, KC, win 5.00 units

[Foghorn]

Good Evening Everyone, been off for a while with a crazy schedule and even missed some of today's action already. Hope you all have been knocking them dead.

NYY vs Boston:

NYY:
Yankees have lost the first 7 games to Boston this season. Sabathia is 4-0 with an ERA of 2.49 in his last 8 games and is averaging almost 8 innings per game in that stretch. His WHIP is 1.09 in his last 3 games. Yankees are batting .257 vs right handers in the last 10 games.

Boston:
Brad Penny is on the mound tonight, as the Sox look to win their 8th straight vs the Yankees this year. Penny is struggling in his last 3 starts, going 1-1 with an ERA of 5.29 and a WHIP of 1.47.....but, more importantly, the Sox are only batting .215 vs left handers over their last 10 games.

I'm going to go with the Yankees to break the string.

PICK: NYY (1 unit)
Record: 17-8-1 (+10.0 units)

TA............you must be an old fart too. I too went to the Olympia to watch the Red Wings. What a great venue, still remember going there as a kid, then a teenager and young adult. Joe Louis gets loud, but never as loud as the old barn.

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

As usual, nice write-up but I'm passing on the game. Then you must have seen the Pistons play at Cobo Hall too. Don't pick on theberb2 too much, after all he roots for the Cubs and there's an upcoming series against them soon. All kidding aside, he's a great guy.
