I can see why they are dogs but by the same token I like my chances of possibly stealing one of these two games, if so it's a nice profit. Three totals I am looking at:


StL/Clev U9
Oak/SD U7
TB/Fla O7-


Opinions welcome, I know you are around Dan. BTW after our talks the other day I played them anyway and went 2-1 with one rain out. Not bad, appreciate the feedback.

[bigboydan]

i haven't really had a chance to cap really indepth just yet. although, that cubs/brewers game was one i did happen to cap.

i like the brewers tomorrow myself. i think thats a very generous price with them. i think Zambrano is a bit over priced in this match up IMO


as far as that twins/dodgers game goes...

it's hard for me to bet against twins right now. then when you add Liriano on top of that red hot streak there on right now. well, i'm passing on that game altogher.

as far as the totals go. to be honest with you, i'd have really have to look alot more indepth before i could even comment on them.

What's the outlook for that Phils/O's game in terms of the weather? Long delays expected, light rain, etc?

[moses millsap]

Will Webb continue to struggle in interleague play?

[bigboydan]

the latest weather projections are saying probability of rain 70% during the game.

[moses millsap]

the latest weather projections are saying probability of rain 70% during the game.

I know that, just wondering if any local news on how severe the storms are going to be, etc. Need to know if we can expect a long extended delay or not -- I need to know how large the bullpens will factor into this game.

[bigboydan]

Will Webb continue to struggle in interleague play?

not only will he continue to struggle, but the whole team will continue to. IMO

The Cubs have no business being a big favorite tonight, but lets just say I have an inside tip on this one and I am unloading on the Cubs tonight.

I know what it is. Let me guess Illusion. Zambrano got his dose tonight of juice. He feels like he can throw 130 MPH tonight, right? I figure he best be careful though. Those Brewers can hit fastballs. Maybe not at 130 mph though.

F.Y.I.

Philadelphia/Baltimore postponed

[Illusion]

Liriano has been pitching really well and the Twins have been rolling. I am also playing the Twins tonight.

No shocker since the entire east coast is under water.

[onlooker]

To chalky for my taste. No matter how great the young guy has been pitching. Still young, and can make mistakes. To high risk for me being that high.

I like it even more now since my good friend loves the Dodgers.

[moses millsap]

Snell smells like shit

[bigboydan]

i think Buehrle will give a few back soon enough bud.

[moses millsap]

I don't know how much longer they should stay with Snell, he's given up 8 hits already.

[moses millsap]

Mauer 9 for 10 the last two nights

[bigboydan]

thank you Ryan Dempster for blowing the save for me

[onlooker]

I guess that info wasnt that great huh Illusion? Brewers won 8-5. Dempster is garbage, and so is Dusty. So did the info at least come true for you?

[bigboydan]

i loved it that the cubs imploded. i had 5 units on the brewers tonight

Looks great, split on the dogs so Brewers win made them nice and profitable, then swept the 3 plays on totals. Only problem is I didn't get the bets in, that's twice I've done that in the last two weeks. Waited for one reason or another and ended up not getting down on any of them.....

[Patrick McIrish]

i loved it that the cubs imploded. i had 5 units on the brewers tonight

Yeah that price was way out of line, I mean it's the Cubs we are talking about here. Nice job, wish I had followed through on my leans as well.

Sigh.

[bigboydan]

that was a really nice hit for us pat. although, seattle and SD were just as nice for me tonight too

[Illusion]

I guess that info wasnt that great huh Illusion? Brewers won 8-5. Dempster is garbage, and so is Dusty. So did the info at least come true for you?

Dempster is a big piece of shit. The Cubs should have won. 4 unearned runs.
