Sunday - Pair of 5's Sir

Contrarian Radar

Contrarian radar goes blinking this morning on the Nationals after getting swept in the double dip from yesterday. The Nationals are hitting well and should be strong at home with the narrow line. I will report back prior to gametime.

Contrarian Radar II

As a glutton for punishment, the Contrarian angle is buzzing on the Athletics who are trying to put the Pair in the poor house. Hopefully there is discussion in th A's clubhouse about helping the Contrarian with a win. We will be giving this one a look.

Selection III

The Chicago Cubs go to Harden today in the "no way Harden loses at this one at -240 game."

Chicago money, Harden superior number, and 8 ERA for Moehler, puts the Contrarian angle in play for the upset of day. Houston is looking juicy.

I'm on all 3. My thoughts on this:

A) I can't believe I just made another wager on the A's

B) I really like the other two selections

Pair of 5s Sir · 05-17-09, 12:03 PM

The A's owe us money, contrarily speaking.

TheLock · 05-17-09, 02:51 PM

A's outscored 11-2 since the first inning.

Astros hanging tough

The big question is will I ever bet the A's again. In the words of my ex-wife, I am through!

Let's hold the others together.

It's Official

After scoring a ton of runs in the top 1st, and Gallaraga getting knocked out, the A's find a way to lose. Obviously, the contrarian indicators shine brightly on the A's as they masculate themselves into oblivion. No more A's Mr. Lock, I can't bear it anymore. I hope you agree.

Two others going on right now. Let's bring'em home.

Athletics +145 (L)

The Nationals and their pathetic fielding in a cooler fluke play that I have never seen. Nonetheless, the pain continues. Astros are ahead by 3 runs with 3 outs to go. This will undoubtedly not hold up to provide bridge jumping motivation to all. Seriously, 1-2, God willing, will yield positive units, positive cash flow.

National -103 (L)

I am out of breath.

Astros +220 (W)

Selection

Mets are getting slammed at the window. Square money.

Giants -113

Nice hit on the 'stros today 5's. I'm on the Giants as well. Hit with a load up on the LAD and the LAL already today. Looking to make it a really nice end to a really bad week.

The Nationals melt down was crazy, compounded with the 5 run top 1st with the A's, where they knocked out Gallaraga in the first, and continued to lose the game.

That's BB

Looking for the breakout heater.

jellobiafra · 05-17-09, 09:41 PM

Good luck holding on to this one 5's. Like a dumbass, I actually parlayed the SFG with the Celtics ML. Would have been a nice +210 payout if the Celtics would have been able to win a game 7 at home..... like they'd done 32 straight times before tonight. Oh well....

On to the next one. See ya around

Pair of 5s Sir · 05-17-09, 09:54 PM

It's Official

The G-men shut out the Mets for the Contrarians. But enough of that, today was rough with some unusual freak plays and circumstances that provided for two loses. Nonetheless, positive units and positive cash flow. Let's recap today' selections.

Nationals -103 (L)
Athletics +145 (L)
Astros +220 (W)
Giants -113 (W)

You want balks? You got balks. Pelfrey with 3 balks on the day.
