[thegenix]

Ankiel with a diving catch in CF to preserve the lead - runners were on 1st and 2nd with 2 outs.

Jeezus I hate bullpens. Is Franklin going to be able to close this out?

Franklin is worrying me too.

he'll face cantu and ramirez next inning, could be interesting.

Check out the beard, that thing alone should be able to retire the rest of the Marlins.

[GonzagaPlayer]

agreed get out

[cocknocker]

CK. If Cards hold on and we cash this heavy play. Will you make one of your other plays heavy? Or leave as is? Im thinking about taking this money and throwing it on the Twins for a heavy play?

Read what I put in my breadown for that game at the very end where i make my comments

[homerbush]

blue jays +147 play of the day

agreed

[cocknocker]

Everyone fasten your seatbelts. It's gonna be a tough bottom of the 9th. you already know that someone is going to get on, because that's how baseball is. We just hope that he doesn't score, lol!

Wise move, imo. Plus the Twins haven't won 3 in a row on the road all year.

Big K! Hanley Ramirez bites the dust! One down, two more to go.

[cocknocker]

Right on cue a double by Cantu!

[solobass]

tigers are a better value, they are still on the board in my book -115. where else can you get a pitcher with 2.16 era and a .90 whip on the road for that price? the other AL games on the board are too close for me. i did add a small play on mets/phillies over 9.5.

[jellobiafra]

Right on cue a double by Cantu!

Probably inches from a homer. Holy shnit.

Pujols makes a nice catch on the rail to end it. Whew!

[peterpan19]

...STL did it again...

[cocknocker]

Yesh! HEAVY play is out the way!

[The_Kid]

Good call, CK! Cards offense came through in the end and the Marlins bullpen imploded again. Thanks!

[thegenix]

Yes stl!

[solobass]

also CK I agree with what you said on 1st page about pitcher ERA. it is a good stat but definitely not enough to hang your hat on. not even close. K's/BB ratio, whip, and a few others get factored in for me but in no formula that i am using do i even use ERA.

[solobass]

nice hit CK good call. i was not on it due to my late start today.

[djpremier36]

Booked plays...GL

LAA/TAM over 8.5 -128 (5 units)

Angels are killing lefties this year, so I trust they can put up 4 or 5 runs today. Rays are the highest scoring team in the AL and at home where they should score at least 5 to 6. The pitching names say under, but I feel this one goes over.

PHI/NYM under 9.5 -111 (5 units)

Mets are struggling lately vs. lefties and Moyer has gone under in his last 4 starts. Phils have been going under a lot lately, especially on the road and haven't done as well vs. righties. The pitching names say over, but I feel this one goes under

BOS +1.5 -118 (5 units)

Sabathia hasn't been great vs. the Red Sox over his career and we all know about the Yanks troubles winning vs. BOS. If the Yanks win today it won't be by much as their last 3 victories on the road vs. Bos have come by one run.

SF +1.5 -138 (3 units)

The Giants are the hotter and better team right now. ARI also struggles at home, where as the Giants are surprisingly 6-2 in their last 8 on the road. Sanchez and Mad max have both struggled lately, so no advantage there. I wanted to take SF on the ML but I feel the plus 1.5 will leave me more cushion just in case.

[BTTNext]

DOPE. Whew that was a close one. Big ups to you CK.

[RoagBettor]

Great call CK, now let's cash the Twinkies

[sportsguy04]

I ended up going heavy on the twinkies now that Cards cashed.

I cant pull on the Mets beating Phillies tonight. Im staying away.

[cocknocker]

also CK I agree with what you said on 1st page about pitcher ERA. it is a good stat but definitely not enough to hang your hat on. not even close. K's/BB ratio, whip, and a few others get factored in for me but in no formula that i am using do i even use ERA.

Yeah, my favorite is the WHIP. I want to know how many walks and hits on average does a guy give up per inning. I never use ERA in my factoring. It can make you blind to the facts.

[sportsguy04]

Heck Ill take the Reds ML +118 for the sweep!

[coolmil]

Money is burning! Somebody please call the fire department!

CK, KTF. You know what you are doing!

[solobass]

haha halliday/jays are -270 opening line......

[solobass]

tomorrow, cards -115 is looking almost like a misprint @ the wahoos.

[Razz_Donkey]

Crede w/ the bomb. 3-0 Twins.

[Razz_Donkey]

Now Upton does the same w/ solo shot for Arizona.

[cocknocker]

tomorrow, cards -115 is looking almost like a misprint @ the wahoos.

You already know what I'm gonna do. Duncan batting as the DH is only going to insulate Pujols and give him protection. Cardinals HEAVY again Friday. Their bats are in order.

[shoebox]

Bucs cash!!

[cocknocker]

Thanks BTTNext! I have a wipped up olds school also, a shark grey convertible 1967 Barracuda with red and grey interior. I also put the 17 inch Edelbrock 454 rims (that were on the Shelby 500GT in Gone in 60 Seconds with the knock offs on them. They are so sweet)

[cocknocker]

Good stick, shoe!

[cocknocker]

D-Backs situational hitting is absent today....They are squandering run producing opportunities.

[solobass]

nice call shoe u da man.
