    Manny Parra -110

    Gotta comeback with Brew Crew after getting slaughtered today.

    Barry Zito is not impressive at all, and Milwaukee bats should find the ball Thursday Morn.


    Thoughts?

    If brewers get swept by the Giants they might as well forfeit for the season.

    Not a good bet. Giants have had 2 day of seeing LHP with Wolf and Naverrson and have all the momentum in this series. Plus they have the better pen and were totally rested today. Don't mess with Mil. Giants sweep tomorrow despite Zito only going 5-6 innings. Even if you like Mil, take the over instead.

    Zito may not be good on the road in MIL but give me a break with that horse manure MIL pen vs. our quasi-rested late inning guys. Giants win.

    I'm no Zito fan but Parra's worse. Add in other factors mentioned above and I'm leaning SF

    Brew crew has looked pathetic the last three games. Giants bats are hot so dont see the logic in betting the Brewers.

    Your comments just get better and better dude. One dumb remark after another.

    Whats the shame in getting swept by one of the better teams in the league?

    First of all there's always shame in getting swept 4 games at home. Second of all the Giants are not a good road team and are one of the more "above average" teams in the league.

    This is not the first time I have been accused of being irrational when it comes to my favorite bayarea sports teams.

    I still think you guys are blatantly underrating the Giants though.

    of coarse you do Beast....i think you should put in your sig worlds biggest SF homer just in case some poor unsuspecting guy takes your blind love of the Giants as serious talk by mistake....just a thought as i think that would help when you are misunderstood

    The beast predicts the Giants make the playoffs, even though I am very knowledgable when it comes to MLB. Do you think this makes me a homer?

    I guess we will have a better understanding in a couple months. The starting 5 is beastly though theres no denying that 2DB.

    call it a hunch Beast but i got a feeling you predict SF to make the playoffs every year, yes you have a very good pitching staff are you happy? now can you ease up on the SF love just a little? it is noted that you got SF catching fire and making the playoffs, i will personally tell everyone i heard it from the Beast 1st when it happens if you can just let up a little on a day to day basis

    My initial response was to Pauls post "They should quit the season if they get swept by the Giants".

    If you ask me his statement was a lot worse than my homerism. Getting swept by a team that has a dominant rotation is no reason to tuck your tail between your legs and call it quits, but I guess some people just share different philosophies.

    The line is a virtual pick'em. Both of the pitchers are below average.

    But I like backing teams the next day after getting totally blown out.

    Brew Crew, and Phillies
    to the moon tomorrow.

    It's been a good series for SF, but you do realize they went 3-10 before this right? It's not like their rotation has been lights out.

    Zito is below average??? Wow. The people of this forum never cease to amaze me.

    Below average the last couple years yes. Not this year. Not even close.

    Of course noone wants to get swept anywhere by anyone... he just made it sound real bad, like the Giants are a AAA team masquerading as big league ballclub or something.. and frankly Im sick of reading that shit around here, everyone loves baggin on the Giants offense and it gets tiresome as fukk.

    blowout angle is a good angle...Houli how has the fade the espn winner been working out? i remember Dexter had me on that during NFL (think it was Dex) i know it was pretty successful for that.....

    I know you like the ESPN Wednesday win fade, Houli, but I can't go against Cueto right now. He's in a zone. And it seems like Kendrick gets hit hard every time he faces Cincy.

    There are 16 teams in the NL.

    They have the 7th best record.

    You tell me.

    Strap on your thinking cap for this one.

    Betting Milwaukee tomorrow is an act of lunacy the way they have looked this series. Its been an absolute mauling since the first inning of game 1.

    Again, how does having the 8th best record in a 16-team league make them one of the "better teams"?

    Are you fukking illiterate or just trying to piss me off???

    Read my post again. THEY HAVE THE 7TH BEST RECORD IN THE NL. Not sure how do they do math where you come from but out here we can do addition and subtraction and cut numbers in halves and all that good stuff.
