Mr. Crumbs Leans for Saturday 5/16/09

[Kav]

this ****in asshole cook, BASES JUICED WITH NO OUTS!!!

[shoebox]

lots of game left...

[Jimbo42]

Booked:

Tampa Bay -1.5 +105

GL

Whew! I needed that one!

[The_Kid]

lots of game left...

Yes, baseball is a 9 inning game and Snell has a lot of time to implode.

[BCaldwell32]

i just couldnt go with the filly at a short price - though the preakness is the one triple crown race that fav's do well in.

Amazing, Mine that bird wins if the race was a few more yards!!

[Dexter]

dont get me wrong, i love the 2 run bomb howard just hit, but he is such a punk. stands and poses at home plate after every hr. someone needs to drill him good.

[Dexter]

good hit jimbo

rain delay col/pitt

[laxdjock]

Freaking COL giving up 4 to the f'ing Pirates. Who does that?!

2 Late night plays:

Cincy -2 1/2 +205
Red Sox -2 1/2 +185

Just looking for 1 of these 2 to win by 3 or more, and it pays nice. Both teams with the better pitcher on the mound, and both on the road too, so they get that extra ab.

[ebbearsfb1]

what is everyone so in love with aaron cook?

[laxdjock]

It was more of a bet against PIT and Snell....at least in my case.

I'm on the fence about the SOX. 1.5 looks good, and -2.5 would be better if Ortiz could actually hit the ball.

[xmrblueduckyx]

i auto fade ian snell.
just like i auto fade adam eaton.

[macadams]

Is Ortiz playing, say it ain't so!? I have CIN BOS late night two teamer...Big P, so cold right now.

[xmrblueduckyx]

i am very impressed with ryans defense this year.
i like the big homerun as much as the next guy, but i cant stand the horrid strikeouts. hes a sucker for a slider away EVERY TIME.

[SmackdownV]

Come on......

Rockies will come through.....but this is sort of strange for Cook.

Ortiz is not playing tonight, they gave him a few days rest to hopefully settle down

[SlicWilly3]

Ortiz not playing is good imo.....He's a liability right now.

2 other late night plays I really like:

RUN TO SCOR IN THE 1ST INNING:

Cincy/SD-NO -120
Bost/Seattle-YES -120

I agree with you, Ortiz sitting is a good thing

[RoagBettor]

Does anyone know how bad the weather is in Pittsburgh? Will this game get called?

[Dexter]

yes sir! i love when dcabrera pitches

[ebbearsfb1]

un real good work kc defense... how you have a throwing error from 2nd to first...

[SlicWilly3]

http://www.weather.com/weather/hourbyhour/graph/USPA1290?from=36hr_topnav_undeclared

Hopefully it gets called....Looks like a very good chance of that happening......But still a lot of baseball left if it doesn't
But with the starters out I would rather just get my money back with Colo to win and Colo -1 1/2....

[ebbearsfb1]

I just hope kansas city can pull out this game... i can't stand this nonsense... if its 2 nights in a row a team blows a good night for me.

[macadams]

Fish look good now!

[RoagBettor]

Looks like the Rockies/Pirates game is back underway.

[macadams]

Ballgame, Marlins win!

[SlicWilly3]

I have a graduation party to attend tomo, and I'm not sure when I'll be leaving so I figured I would share my picks for tomo:

Sunday's plays:

LA Dodgers -1 1/2 +115
Oakland A's +145
Toronto -1 1/2 -125
LAA/Tex UNDER 10 1/2 -110
Baltimore -115
Boston Celtics $ML$ -145

Good luck everybody, and enjoy your Sunday
I'll try to copy and paste this in CK's Sunday thread in case anyone is tailing.....

[Jimbo42]

Booked:
San Diego +130
San Diego -1.5 +250

Just broke a losing streak and San Diego is a solid home team....I'll give it a try.

[RoagBettor]

Need KC to pull this out in the bottom of the 9th or it's going to really f**k up my day!

Just finished watching the dodgers now, as I wrote up and picked the marlins earlier, and I don't think they looked good man, gotta say. Also telecasters said they'd be giving guys rest tomorrow, 3 guys I think, only remember Russel Martin, but they also mentioned two other guys normally in the lineup who presumably will sit. Maybe you wanna look into this, I'm not saying they can't cover, although I don't think I'll follow you on it...

[cocknocker]

Looking ahead to tomorrow, I like

Arizona+170
Mariners+120 or more
Royals-105
Cardinals-1.5 +170

[SmackdownV]

Sorry guys.

Rockies have the bats to come back but I did not see a 1 1/2 hour rain delay in the cards when I made this play.

Oh well......we got hoops tomorrow!

[TodaysAction]

FWIW, we have a similar card for today.
Good thing or bad thing? Time will tell.
Based on what you list and your auto plays, I
see a cash positive day for you today.

Way to make it (old school cash register) sing tonight my friend.

I know. Not quite as many crumbs today as I would like. I really think that Volquez will get the job done today and the Reds play is about at the threshold of what I like to shell out in vigorish. So hopefully he doesn't burn me and lay an egg. I hope that it's a good thing. I have had the misfortune of some relievers relieving me of some money the past few days. The Alka Seltzer is in full effect. The only bright side of things is that I am losing clean units since 75% or more of my plays are made at + money.

I feel good about the Snakes getting off the shnide today. And you know that if they win this game that we will have to take them again tomorrow.

Houston is going to be a tossup game. A pitcher of Oswalt's talent can't struggle forever. And with their offense in high gear right now, I had to take a shot.

Texas team total is a play against Lackey in his first start fresh out the farm.

The comments are worth looking for to read and appreciated the response.

may 16

rockies RL +150 9 units



CK bet it!!!!.............

shoebox,

I am really sorry for your 9 unit to go down the tubes but know you'll bounce back with a very good Sunday.

[Dexter]

There's a challenge going on with everybody in the free world here at SBR. I don't even know what the thread is for the thing, but I know that it's Dexter and a couple of his buddies running it.

all 8 matches have their own thread....
