>> Kendrick *improving, should be a good starter next year for the Phils...
he's getting used to doing well, i think more improvement today,
against a Met team that is lost, and searching for answers..
Mets can put together a good game, but have difficulty with strings of wins.

Niese (3.51 ERA) not enough to save the Mets


• PHILADELPHIA (-110)__


>> Marcum was placed on waivers... that may be enough to distract him,
as the hungry Cubs play hard to avoid the home sweep to a non-playoff team.


• CHICAGO CUBS (+140)__

Not sure you can call a team "lost" when they've won 4 straight games but GL with your plays.

indeed tat, you are right.. lost not right word, right at this time, but i still like the Phils in this spot..
would love an insurance Run, here in Bottom 7th, just to pad the lead a hair..

let's see what happens..

GL on your picks today

[Ratzz]

c'mon Cubbies.. swing that wood!!

[tatddy]

I did like the Cubs play. Didn't get on it myself but I like it. Marcum has no business being that big a favorite on the road and the late line movement was in your favor. We'll see what happens when this becomes a bullpen game.

where do you monitor that? (late line movements..)
and how soon before game does it usually occur?

and what is the consistency?

i think (hope) Cubbies take it.. as game progresses, Brewers may just lose heart

I mean line movements are fluid all day. But you see a lot of action an hour before the first pitch. You can use sbrodds to get a good sense of where the juice/lines are going and how books are adjusting to each other.

thank you, Tat, i appreciate that.. always interested to learn more.. gain experience.

well, i rolled the dice on Raley..*

i hope Chubbies have another rally in them.... let's see..

cheers, bud

[Avenger]

Ratzz is on a roll!

Do you like anything for tonight?

[Ratzz]

man, Cubzz never quit in this game... GO CUBz!!

[Ratzz]

they pulled it out. 13-12 (3 runs bottom 9th) GOOD on them.

way-to-go Cubz... you really earned that.
coulda quit soo many times.. and just 'called' the game.

but they just kept on comin'

best win this year for them.

[Ratzz]

learning is endless, trying to get in as much as i can

[NittanyLionsFan]

You are terrible, lmfao at these plays. Learn the game brotha, THEN try this stuff out. God you are awful.

[ColdBeerHere]

Nice job tonight Ratzz....I see you have threads all over the mlb forum...Kind of tough to keep track of all your plays...Ever consider having one dedicated thread ?

Don't mind him, he's a moron.

both of the above picks won. How are they bad picks..?*

i have tried dedicated threads, but the above troll comes in and ruins them all.. as you can see his reasoning.. so i closed them.

**this is an example of how he is when i win, can you imagine how he gets when i lose..?

he actually goes 'play-by-play'... if a guy hits a HR against you (in game).. he posts it.
writes the player's name.. cheering.. etc...

am i missing something? is there something higher than picking a winner?
i thought the point here was to pick winners and share..*

[Ratzz]

Nitt.

I wish you Godspeed and good luck in whatever you do.
If you want to talk nice and be civil, i would be open to that.
We can flip script on that anytime.

If you want to keep beefing, then i am afraid that i am just going to have to ignore your comments..
as it results in nothing, life is seriously short, man. Energy is finite. There is no time to plant crops that don't yield
any harvest whatsoever, or to work with plants that only create thorns.

There are no cactus farmers.*

i hope everything you are working on works out, your picks too
(losing $ is tressful, leads to stressed behavior)*

be well, ®

Well Ratzz it seems you do have a good sense about gambling but not trolls. Let me help you.

Trolls feel rewarded by creating the biggest altercation possible. They want to get a reaction out of you. When you fight with a troll, he wins. When you reason with a troll, he wins. Any time that you give a troll attention, he gets exactly what he wants.

The best way to deal with trolls is to ignore them. When you ignore a troll, he doesn't get the satisfaction of creating an escalated conflict.

If you decide to leave a discussion because of the negative tone, do not dramatically announce that you are leaving. While that message may make you feel better, it only convinces the troll that he is winning.

Its a disorder that combines the antisocial, borderline, histrionic, and narcissistic personality disorders.

this is brilliant. Well said IB, spot on assessment of the circumstances.
you have been quiet.. i do not recollect reading any of your comments heretofore..
just observing.. ?

i invite you to share more, you are clearly gifted, and insightful

Thank you,*
Cheers to you, and BOL on your picks.. ®

ps> your monicker seems somewhat inconsistent with your words.. as well does not match the avatar..
just an observation (guess) i suppose you are of Italian descent, straight arrow, well educated,
so you could never life the life.. but enjoy a good well made Maf movie.. *(like all of us)
Goodfellas is my fave. the little personable observations and details. The way people complain/posture in real life..
beautiful.

ps2> it's easy to respect a person with more than 3X points/posts ratio. (well done again)

[ColdBeerHere]

Ratzz, am i right in assuming he didn't accept your challenge ? yet continues to troll your threads ? Putting that donkey on ignore sounds good....I'm going to do it now as he adds nothing positive to anything I have ever read by him....He's a troll, and nothing else. Best to not even read what he says.....

[R.P. McMurphy]

Good hits Ratzz! Only on SBR can you have some loser who never posts picks giving you sh*t after hitting on a couple including an ugly dog.

[CollegeOverUnder]

Im from Chicago but live in San Francisco and this was not a game I was willing to bet San Francisco. Game seemed dangerous to bet the Giants getting only about 5 hours of sleep.

Can't imagine how the lack of time hurt a team.. they are either SITTING on a bench, standing still at the plate, or pacing around the outfield... not a physically intense game in any way you stretch. Though now that the Giant ARE losing it is easy to use the obvious reason as a reason.. when in fact it is because of a SP having a shit day

[NittanyLionsFan]

What does me posting picks or not posting picks have to do with anything at all?

[R.P. McMurphy]

Nittany it's called credibility! Anyone can go into threads after a game is in progress or has ended and give their "expert hindsight" opinions.
