Mr. Crumbs Leans for Monday 5/18/09

[jellobiafra]

Again, Garrett Anderson is TOO old to be playing left field in the majors. He needs to be on the bench. I don't care if Diaz bats .150 against righties, he is leaps and bounds better than Anderson in the field.

It's too bad. He was a great player in LA and he's quickly becoming hated by ATL fans. It's seems pretty obvious that he just doesn't want to be out there. What other excuse is there for his half-assed play and the "I don't give a shit" look he always has on his face?

[texhooper]

i'm going to pay more attention to your team totals, kmarinouofm. i don't know shit about betting baseball and am trying to find a niche. team totals look to be a good angle to utilize when the time is right.

nats take the lead, 5-3 in the 5th. man, this will negate a couple of rookie mistakes if it hits.

[Dexter]

question for all - how does your book treat a game that was called after 5 inn (official) due to rain? the side in my book counts, but im not sure about the over/under? i cant imagine that a total would count if the game only went 6/7/8 inn due to rain.

tex, did you take a side or just the total for this game? I backed the Pirates and I'm pissed off at Ohlendorf. That idiot has to issue Guzman his first walk of the year and then gives up a three run blast to Johnson and another solo shot to Zimmerman. Way to give that three run lead up in a matter of a couple pitches.

Most books specify before the bet is made Dex. Mine personally, all games must go 9 innings, or its no action (on sides and totals).

[texhooper]

the kid, i took over 10. the nats were favored, which meant to me that someone thought they would outscore the pirates, who were coming out of colorado with some hot bats. the nationals aren't going to grind out a win, from what i've seen, regardless of who's on the mound. over 10 was at -105, so i took it.

[texhooper]

and just like that, it's 5-5. wow.

Nice call. With the bullpens pitching, we're bound to see at least 4-5 more runs now.

Dex, if you posted that question because of the Marlins/D'Backs game, I hope it resumes because the UNDER is looking pretty good and I was backing the Marlins too.

[SlicWilly3]

Most books if a game is called min 5 innings played the SIDE counts but the TOTAL is refunded to you.

Tough loss on Under 5 1/2 in the Pitt/Nats 1st 5 innings.... I hate losses like that....

[Dexter]

Dex, if you posted that question because of the Marlins/D'Backs game, I hope it resumes because the UNDER is looking pretty good and I was backing the Marlins too.

exactly - was watching the game and the rain may last a while...which means no more haren/nolasco

it was posted after gametime, so whatever...i know at least you believe me kid! and pirates hot bats are winning this bad boy, so good luck to you the rest of the way, homes.

Now that you say that, I hope it doesn't resume because I'm not too high on the Marlins bullpen.

Good luck to you too.

tue-

phillies (ML) (5x) - hamels is back locked in with a 1.59/1.06 era/whip in his last 3. he also owns the reds as the phils have won all 4 of his starts vs cincy with a .60/.90.

brewers (ML) - bush has a .76 whip in his last 3, and mike hampton is pitching for the stros. nuff said.

over tigers - mccarthy has been roughed up on the road with a 8.40/2.00 away from tex - he also has an era of 6.75 in his last 3. dontrelle willis is pitching for the tigers. nuff said.

bluejays (ML) (Autobet - 3x) - tallet has a whip of 1.00 in his last 3, while wakefield has a whip of 1.97

orioles (RL) (Autobet) - play any dog on the runline who is getting + money or no > -110

under whitesox (Autobet - 2x) - both pitchers have whips of 1.00 or < in their last 3.

*possible plays depending on line movement - kc (RL), arz (RL)

NBA: over lakers 214.5 (3x)

[khaliagent]

its very easy to pick apart another persons selections when you have no money on the game. if both fav's hit, you can say that you didnt bet either game - and if you were right, you can gloat like a jerk.

why would cocknocker even listen to you after how you blasted him?

maybe you guys should listen,
i tried to warn you about randy johnson and you didnt listen...
IF YOU HEAR A WARNING YOU MAY AS WELL GO THE OTHER WAY IF I AM ON THE OTHER END OF IT.
GOOD LUCK.

[showtime2000]

Puck play tonight,

Car/Pit over 5.5



GLA

Some miraclous saves did not help our over tonight. Don't expect Fleury to play that good next game.

I agree show. I took the Canes and the Under. Cashed the Under and didn't lack much from at least having a chance with overtime. Pitt got a few lucky bounces which lead to the early goal and the eventual difference making goal, but I agree with there being some great saves. Goaltending was good tonight, but I still think Ward is better than Fluery on any day. Good luck on the rest of your bets show.

Question for you Dex...on ESPN's stats for each Major League team, they have a category labeled "Qs". It's right after all the pitching stats like SV WHIP, etc. Any idea what this is? TIA

hope this means you will think twice when i tell you a pitcher is past his prime or what have you....trust you are better off on my good side.

[Dexter]

prob quality starts...not sure of the exact criteria, but something like 6ip/3er

[G's pks]

GL guys getting out of your slump, I look at the opening thread 3-4 times a week and it is usually below .500 easily. Dexter have you ever thought about just having your own thread? Do you have one? So many scattered picks in here, and with the main picks hitting below sea level...might not be a bad idea.

not at all. i dont listen to anyone but myself once my plays are in - but thanks anyway.

just because a pitcher is past his prime does not mean he cant win 1 game during the season. the bet was a win until the mets scored off the giants pen in the 9th...so relax bro...

He ain't just in it. He's the consigliare.

Besides, once you're in.... you're in. There's no quitting the mafia. Everybody knows that.
