Garcia has been sharp all season and the Cardinal bats are heating up....

Cardinals are always a huge public play as well

THA_DIESEL · 05-31-10, 03:39 PM

Vegas also forgot Bronson Arroyo has won his 4 last games, allowing only a total of 7 runs during those games.

I should have went HUGE on the Reds.

Better team, at home, better starting pitcher. They were deservedly favored.

Lines aren't easily swayed just because the Reds started off the season hot.

I understand the home part, but not the rest.

Reds are the better team and have the better pitcher. What I am saying is that the Reds were maybe a trap at such a good price, but it appears it was just another gift from Vegas.

The Reds are not the better team.

By the end of the season, the Cards will have a better record.

chrisharvard01 · 05-31-10, 04:27 PM

Pujols is now 1-6 v Bronson.

the UND seemed like a good play, but this weather is now f_ucking me.

radio guys are saying its "raining cats and dogs"

chrisharvard01 · 05-31-10, 04:47 PM

weather update: radio guys saying we will be in delay for "a very long time"

Thanks for the update Harvard

chrisharvard01 · 05-31-10, 04:55 PM

weather update: Rain is now getting much lighter. Some small groups of people returning to their seats at the uncovered parts of the stadium. We may actually resume in the next 20 mintues or so

Just because a team has a bigger payroll does not mean they are the BETTER team.

yisman · 05-31-10, 05:01 PM

diesel, who said anything about payroll?

St. Louis is better than Cincinnati. It's simple. Look at the players on the two teams.

Grind-It-Out · 05-31-10, 05:01 PM

Which team benefits more (or is hurt more) from the weather delay? Thoughts?

No, Cardinals revolve around Pujols, and for good reason. But that's it for them.

The Reds play a TEAM game. Everyone chips in. That's why they are the better team.

yisman · 05-31-10, 05:09 PM

That is simply incorrect.

Everyone may chip in, but they don't have the talent of the Cardinals.

kobefanatic · 05-31-10, 05:12 PM

love your reasoning

chrisharvard01 · 05-31-10, 05:14 PM

Update: We will resume play in 7 minutes

chrisharvard01 · 05-31-10, 05:14 PM

Update: ARROYO is up and warming in the bullpen for CIN

The Reds will win today, and should promptly sweep the Cardinals to take a nice lead in the division.

Maybe you will change your mind then.

yisman · 05-31-10, 05:23 PM

Diesel, I'm not sure if you're aware, but the Reds are exactly one game up.

By the AS break, the Cardinals will be ahead of them, and I'd bet on it.

Grind-It-Out · 05-31-10, 05:36 PM

Some great two-out work by the Cards - that's the sign of a good team.

DG Magee · 05-31-10, 06:02 PM

And now you have your answer!

Glad I stayed away. The line was fishy on the Reds.

Tied. Well, with the Cardinals win, now I have to stay away from this series.

I really thought the Reds would steal game 1....thankfully I put all the money I was gonna put on the Reds, on the Diamondbacks tonight.

sigh...this makes no sense.

don't forget to keep up with those elementary level blogs diesel

The Cardinals are the most overrated team in baseball.

Perhaps you should put it in a bank account instead

Second most overrated IMO, with the Cubbies being #1.
