CK's Daily MLB Thread Leans for Tuesday 4/21/09

[moneyline]

Dexter, I don't like misinformation, especially when there are some that are making financial decisions based on said misinformation. I think you understand my point.

[Chi_archie]

I would think the misinformation here, is swaying people to bet a certain way based upon how a pitcher has fared against players that are NOW on different teams.......

everyone caps different, but please don't call me a liar

[Dexter]

Had to fade my boys, Ryan Doumit out of that lineup hurts badly. It changes the whole dynamic of the team. He's the one guy they couldn't afford to lose. Fade the Pirates guys.

yeah, i think in baseball its a lot bigger deal when a star is out of the lineup (individual performance when hitting) where as in hoops, football - you see teams not have their star (squares bet against) and some no name comes in and performs fine.

[Euphoria38]

Alright well best of luck everyone

[Euphoria38]

2-0 Texas!

[rb4033]

f=ucking texas sucks

[moneyline]

Archie, I never meant to call you a liar. A person can give out incorrect info and not be lying. Matter of fact, that's what happens most of the time.

[Dexter]

f=ucking texas sucks

they may suck, but they certainly dont have "garbage bats" as you mentioned earlier.

this is a stacked lineup - home or away.....blalock, hamilton, young, kinsler, cruz.

oh baby...look at the phils droppin a 4 spot in the 1st.

hold it moyer!

[Euphoria38]

Eveland is getting shelled whoever said the yanks hit lefties is a genius.

[moneyline]

Texas bats two pitchers -- Davis and Salty -- hard to get away with having two giveaway spots in your lineup.

This is the one bet I would gladly lose (unless the Fish win by 1 of course), but in the next two months, Doumit being out will damage the feel-good story the Bucs had going.

OK, enough about that, let's all make money fading the Yankees and their brand new band box of a stadium.

[moneyline]

The Rangers implosion has begun. By the end of 3 they will be down by 1.

Easy killer...I got their pitching staff on my fantasy team

Davis is .352 with 2h'rs over the last 2 series?????????

[ploben]

TOR -1.5 let's get 'em

[moneyline]

And he is still batting one-something for the season.

Guess Rios can hit McCarthy after all.

[Dexter]

you are super annoying man. nothing like a good ole internet smack talker. congrats

did you even bet the game?

and by the way - those 2 "pitchers" that texas has at the bottom of the lineup, are actually big time prospects. i betcha one of them turns into something great eventually.

[Dexter]

wow....you're really that unhappy huh.

the more i read your posts, the more i kinda feel bad for you.

cheer up man...

[moneyline]

Salty has been a prospect for years ... wonder when he'll graduate?

Davis and Salty = 3 walks and 39 strikeouts this year. I take it back. The pitchers do hit better.

[Euphoria38]

Salty had a good game 2 back I think, hes got talent. psh. How about those Yankees! Doubled off a runner at home and throw to first in a non-force situation.

U r talking too much. What we really need to see is your play. What are your plays tonite?

if you knew anything about baseball, most catchers take time to develop into good hitters. the kid is 24

not saying i love salty by any means, but you gotta give hitters time.

[moneyline]

Pitcher #1 Davis up with a runner on 3rd ... will he strike out swinging or looking?

(omg, I'm not watching the game, but how did Halladay hit his bat with the ball??? -- at least Salty is still Mendoza friendly)

[Dexter]

moneyline - who did you bet tonight?

[Chi_archie]

we need guys like M.L around here.....


good stuff....I like his sarcasm....

he can only be sarcastic about calling Chris Davis, one of the best young power hitting prospects in all of baseball and he is a give away....

meanwhile the B.J lineup has guys like
Barajas lifetime .696 ops
Hill lifetime ops .757
Scutaro lifetime ops .710

Davis singled to left center, Blalock scored.

Stop the . Bring ur plays here!!! That is all what we need to see.

[moneyline]

One of my plays, obviously, is Toronto - 1 1/2 ... and they are behind when I'm making the pick public, so no talk about me doing it after the fact.

We already knew it. What about the others??

[Euphoria38]

Dodgers ML
Yanks ML
Pens ML
Sox ML

Sharks ML

[moneyline]

Picking 5 games a night is plain silly. My one other pick tonight is the Rockies ...

[rb4033]

what happened with A. Petitte?

[moneyline]

As I was telling Archie, McCarty's ERA is over 5 in Toronto (just like it is tonight -- predictable as taxes)
