There's a spot available in the CDDP, any thoughts, or is this now a CSDP

**bfour** · 04-15-11, 08:35 PM

Is that the 2nd time a Mets game has been rained out for you 5's, damn mother nature.

**Pair of 5s Sir** · 04-15-11, 10:07 PM

The first half of the CDDP gets weathered out and the second goes down in defeat.

Nice work on FLA RL. Vazquez made a lot of use of the warning track (I counted 5 balls that were caught on the warning track). Wind must have blowing in, I don't know Howards ball stayed in the park.

We fade Vazquez next time. His line was much better than his performance.

Never easy boys

**Pair of 5s Sir** · 04-16-11, 07:37 AM

Good morning contrarians, yesterday we go 0-1 -1.13 units, a losing day, one that has not happened in awhile. I hope you guys, don't give up on me yet. The Las Vegas Tower is open.

**pacocn** · 04-16-11, 08:08 AM

the So cal tower is open and the periscope has been busy looking.
It takes us to a very secure dodger stadium where the young 23 yr.old
Clayton Kershaw has the undaunted task of quieting those very hot bats
of the St. Louis Cardinals, big puma heating up, pujols, holiday. Dodgers -143.

**Love The Action** · 04-16-11, 08:44 AM

Just checking in and saw you were on the Cubs as well. I liked that spot as the Rockies had to travel after playing a double header and the Cubs were rested with a decent pitcher due for a win. Alas, some shotty defense and poor offense resulted in a Cubbie loss. No biggie, onto today.

Mr. Pacocn seems to like the heavy favorite in the Dodger. However, being a contrarian, I really like the hot pitching McClellan and the Cards to get the better of the Dodgers and Kershaw because: (1) the Cards' bats are very hot as evidenced by multiple home runs from Pujols, Berkman, et.al.; and (2) Kershaw's poor history against the Cardinals. Without having looked at the rest of the board yet, I believe the Cards will be one of my bigger plays today.

Very interested to see what Sir thinks of this game as well as his plays for Saturday! Good luck to all!

**pacocn** · 04-16-11, 08:47 AM

Lov the action you bring up some good points,
Doders hit rights much better than lefties, so
i am going to stick with the boys in blue and i
am not talking lapd officers bol

**SCRUBZ71** · 04-16-11, 08:50 AM

Losing days happen..So do winning days..

**Smogs** · 04-16-11, 08:55 AM

Ugandan Tower checking in briefly, will not be able to get today's plays off - spending time with the peace corps today and tomorrow so just wanted to add my support over the weekend

**pacocn** · 04-16-11, 08:59 AM

thanks smog we will need it, not easy being contrarian

**brucethebear** · 04-16-11, 09:22 AM

Sir pair, what do you think of the jays today against the sox?
They are +178 against a side that is 2-10.....
While they have shortened a little, I think that is more from smart money playing the value, rather than public money. I just cannot understand why the public are still in love with the sox, although Beckett did provide them with their previous win.

**Rick22** · 04-16-11, 09:25 AM

Best of luck to all you contrarians today. Your numbers seem to be growing in leaps and bounds.

**Pair of 5s Sir** · 04-16-11, 09:25 AM

Selection

Astros +134 (2 units)

**Beef_Supreme** · 04-16-11, 09:26 AM

I'm from STL and one of the more pessimistic cardinals fans, at least this year, but think this is a good spot for the Cards. McClellan is a a very solid pitcher that's flying under the radar right now, I think there's a lot of value to be had early in the season in his starts. However, I would definitely wait til the lineups come out. Tony has a way of messing up a good thing with some of the garbage lineups he throws out there...especially against a lefty

I am sitting high atop the Tower at Palzzo in Las Vegas. We will deal with initiations next week. Our record has been very effective to date. All games are monitored by an independent site, so no fagazy here.

I was surprise that there was only one game on the card for us. I won't force it for the sake of the action junkies.
