CK's Daily MLB Tread Leans for 4/16/09

[BmoreBucco]

Florida +117

Anytime I get Sanchez at a + it's a great value in my eyes.

Pittsburgh -124

Doumit sitting today scares me as it changes that lineup drastically. But, Russ Ortiz? Really?

[TheLemonDropKid]

The Cubs sound good Spotsguy. CC is NOT a -200 pitcher in the American League whee everybody has already seen what he has to offer.

Hey CK......I'm a little confucious......are we rolling with the Cubbies or the Cards?

[laxdjock]

CK, I'm glad we are on the same side as on SF / LA Over (Zito tossing meatballs!) and the Tribe value bet. I like the Marlins to sweep, but I need to look into Kawakami more, as I know what I get with Sanchez.....but not Kaw.

[shoebox]

Yes I was being funny. I appologize for tainting your thread CK, I do enjoy your rationale and thought out picks. I do not appologize to people who want to cut my face off because I cracked a joke, if you want to change the world I suggest you run for office.

crack a joke, he gave you a nice out, glad you took it and ran.............

I do make my own plays and I do post all the time, fukk off im done with you

[laxdjock]

Hey Ragiche thanks! Early lean for tonight is,

Calgary (Chicago has become the public darlings like Carolina last night and they got THUMPED!)


looking at a 2 overs, Col/Det and Mon/Bos. Will confirm later on in the day.

I appreciate the leans....I'll keep an eye out.

[peterpan19]

ok guys early play ATL -1 +120... hell FLA might pull of the sweep here, but can they do it ?... I say no and play this one small to begin with...will be back with the rest of the early games soon...

[Euphoria38]

Good im glad we are both done with eachother, because you refuse to support your picks and have an intellectual argument. You keep trying to keep something that should be rational into irrational. While I've been begging and pleading with you to give me some sort of hard stoned fact.

Thanks to everyone else on this thread who posted a little blurb next to their picks, even if its something like "No way they can make the sweep". Way to support your arguments. And im not being sarcastic.

[kmarinouofm]

i think the best pick of the florida game is Florida over 4...

even if they loose i don't see florida scoring less then 4 runs in this match up again today.. they average almost 7 runs a game.. and atlanta isn't putting anyone up there today that should really stop this trend

laying big on the team over 4 on florida

why the fukk would I help you cap a game and show you how I got my numbers after you licked ck's ass after he gave you an out, knowing you were just being a racist prick. A real man would of stepped up and appolized for being a pig.

My record is out there this month I am -6.8 units, wheres your record you POS

Baseball is slow and steady, laugh at my negative record its only been tracked for less than a week

[Euphoria38]

We'll since i already bet my picks which where:
Fish +1.5, Indians +1.5, and Cards +1.5

I doubt you could help me cap those. No I don't think your negative record is funny and yes there are what 165 games in a season, so you have plenty of good picks left I am sure. And I think you should calm down.

My baseball record is 10-13 so I am also sub 500. You can laugh at me if you wish.

[ploben]

aaaaand this is why browsing CK's threads is sometimes a gigantic waste of time. Christ people.

Euphoria could have put it a better that "you DRUNK RETARDS" on why he thinks ATL is not a good pick. Instead he took the non-constructive route. Maybe just give your opinion on why you think it's a bad pick without starting a damn flame war.

Shoebox, just leave it alone. You got your point across about his ill comments and you were so close to letting it be at that and even said you were done with him...but then continued to argue over the Internet!

Either block him so you can't see his posts or just ignore them. Why does this crap always get outa hand?

My record is in the month long challenge with Dexter
BTW a record means nothing without units assigned to them

I never talk trash on a thread so lets squash this and move on

[laxdjock]

Cliff Lee has -1.5 +285 @ 5dimes. Anyone think this is worth a 1 unit flyer?

[Euphoria38]

Alrite shoebox, let's move on.

[kmarinouofm]

Awesome story CK about the Asian family...


how about those marlins guys 3-0 top of the 2nd....

looks like my team total is looking good!!!!

[cocknocker]

Hey CK......I'm a little confucious......are we rolling with the Cubbies or the Cards?

Cards

[peterpan19]

oh well Fla going for the sweep here today...

[laxdjock]

I brainfarted and forgot my Fish bets. Crap! I thought it was a 1pm start (i'm on the west coast at the moment, so it is early over here!)

[Jimbo42]

how many guys on this Indians team have seen what he has to offer, from the position of batting though?

I mean I've watched CC alot, doesn't mean I can hit him. This will be the first time hitting against CC for about 90% of the lineup today

Yea bro you are right about a stopper being able to slow a team down but baseball more than any is a momentum sport and if you can identify a team on the come or a good team starting a little downward in their play before the public does ...you gonna be a big winner... Big offense or scoring is one of the best indicators...

[Jimbo42]

i think the best pick of the florida game is Florida over 4...

even if they loose i don't see florida scoring less then 4 runs in this match up again today.. they average almost 7 runs a game.. and atlanta isn't putting anyone up there today that should really stop this trend

laying big on the team over 4 on florida

U sir are looking very smart right now!

[laxdjock]

My Plays
Cards ML (+105) 1 unit
Tribe ML (+190) 2 units
LA/AF o9 (+100) 1 unit (I wish i got in at 8 or 8.5...but I think it goes `10-11 today)

[sportsguy04]

My Plays: YES I KNOW I play for small amounts but I started out with a $30 bankroll to work it up.

[peterpan19]

rest of the plays:
CSW 5 Innings -106
Danks is good against TB and I just believe they will score some runs against Jeff early...

Tor -1 -106
Offense is clicking right now...wont stop today....Liriano might be a great pitcher but just not right now...going with the Ace in that one

SD 5 Innings +109
Jake and plus money ...I take it...

now I will just enjoy the Yankees game...

GL

[kmarinouofm]

i think the twins calls is a risky pick CK... i guess you are betting that Liriano will get his shit together today... he is an amazing talent but has had 2 rough outings against weaker offenses ....

toronto is second behind the fish in the league in total offense average about 6 runs a game.. the game total is 7.

so the team totals are either going to be 3.5 for both teams.. or Toronto is going to get the extra half and be at 4...

if it's 3.5 i am jumping all over it.. if its 4 i am still playing it but not as heavy...

[kmarinouofm]

adding the indians team total over 3 guys..

if you are a indians backer today.. then you got to believe you are gonna get your 3 runs...

[Kav]

MY PICKS:
phillies -131
jays -133 HEAVY
cubs -115 HEAVY (i dont think i should have gone big on this, but its in already lol)

more plays to possibly come later...

[laxdjock]

I'm following my CLE +190 ML, 2 units with a flyer on CLE -1.5 (+285), 1 unit and CLE o3.5 (+1.5). I'm looking for a CC implosion and relief stinking it up for the Yanks.

[sportsguy04]

MY PICKS:
phillies -131
jays -133 HEAVY
cubs -115 HEAVY (i dont think i should have gone big on this, but its in already lol)

more plays to possibly come later...

Take a look at the Cubs RL to. +170

[kmarinouofm]

also adding the cardinals... doesn't look like Ramirez is playing.. Bradley is def out.. and i think Wainwright is looking to get some revenge after last season where he was pretty bad..

also taking the cardinals over 3.5 sunny day in Wrigleyville today which is a known launching pad especially on days like today where there is little to no wind.. So I will side with the hot bats and the MVP on this one and will likely get 6 runs in this one..

[kmarinouofm]

leaning nationals game over 10 .. both teams have pitching issues right now.. philly can score

and Phillies's Blanton went 1-0 with a 5.40 ERA in three starts versus the Nationals last year

a lot of people are thinking the nationals can win this game which means they will have to score 7 or 8 runs to win...

the Nationals are giving up on average 6.5 runs a game.. and the starting pitching is 9.29 ERA,

[kmarinouofm]

last pick of the day.. padres vs mets over 7.5

Maine is 0-0 with a 5.40 ERA in two career starts against the Padres.

Peavy is 4-2 with a 3.32 ERA in nine career starts against the Mets, whom he hasn't faced since striking out 11 over six innings in a 7-5 win at Shea Stadium on Aug. 22, 2007.

Padres and Mets both really want this game, believe me..

this game is going to be like 7 to 5 .. i just dont know who is going to win..

[whatisit]

Aramis is playing for Cubs today.

[joanapoker]

Nope. Friday I will take a stab at them again

CK,

yesterday I've asked why u are beting this run lines in April, since is against your own rules, but with so many post u probably didn't see my question.

And yesterday didn't went so well.....why are u playing against your rules?

P.S. I'm with you in the Twins and the Over at Giants!

[kmarinouofm]
