oh boy, looks like your gonna go 0-2 again today. Your playing the pirates with Zack Duke?? Are you madd?? the Pirates are gonna get blown out today. it's not gonna even be close. I have Marquis pitching a gem today for messing up with the Nats game earlier. Zack is toast. I also have Santana pitching a good game and that bum Kendrick getting shelled as usual. U need to jump on the cleveland bandwagon while it still has wheels...

This is a value thread. I agree that both Kendrick and Duke aren't that great. But both are home underdogs. Marquis is terrible and is never worth laying more than -130 on. I realize that Santana is a great pitcher, but he shouldn't be this much of a favorite versus a contending team. Kendrick has good home numbers and had a good outing versus the mets last time. The Phillies also have a better pen than the Mets.
It is really easy for you to say that these pitchers who get a lot of chalk will pitch good games. That's great and all, but the books and the rest of the public are thinking the same thing. So your opportunities for profit are lessened. All I need to do is go 1-1 today and I make profit.

Welcome back ryan. I haven't put anything down on the Phils just yet. I may not do it since The Mets are gonna be especially pissed after losing last night's game. U think Carmona is good enough?

its not just carmona, its
a: verlander is garbage
b: detroit has completely give up on their season months ago
c: indians are playing as well as anyone in baseball, this is what i expected from them back in april
d: cARMOna is better than verlander
e: mets can be as mad as they want, they have no pen, they do this everyday
the mets have blown 8 johan wins this year, they have no pen, none
if i did that game, it would be phils, even though kendrick sucks. mets are going to choke like they always do, they have no pen, it just kills teams to keep losing like that

Alright Ryan. You sold me. It seems like Verlander has trouble beating the Indians.
He's 4-8 in his career versus them.

The only con would be that Detroit is trying to avoid the sweep. But that is negated by the fact that Detroit has given up on their season.

I dunno who is the better team. It is like comparing the Yanks and Red Sox. I know you would say that the Yanks are worse than the Sox. But if the Yanks were completely healthy, they would both be about equal with NYY having an edge.
Road favorites are dumb. But they aren't always.

the yanks arent good dude.
teams get hurt, especially old teams like the yanks
they think the way to win is by signing fantasy players, it doesnt work and it never has
go get brosius back, go get players with heart and desire who dont suck like every single player on the yanks does
ps. redsox are better than the yanks and have been for a few yrs now
same with phils and mets

Heart is not the Yankee's problem. Are you trying to say that Arod doesn't care about winning? But you do make a point. I like Cano a lot and he is home grown. Same with Joba.

I think it's so ridiculous that the Red Sox got Kotsay and Bay. They are both great players.

if arod doesnt care about winning , it sure coulda fooled me
he has never won anywhere he has gone , he has never made a team better
he sure seems to care about his looks and stats though
cano is a solid player, but if he plays anwyhere else he is no better than an average 2b
we hear about him bc he is a yank
joba is special, that i agree with

Cano is one of the best hitters in the league, although this years stats may not indicate that. He is excellent, he just needs to learn a little more patience at the plate, which will come with age. Arod just chokes a lot. He was clutch last year.

Pedroia and Kinsler have more speed than Cano. But Cano will win a batting title someday. You wait and see.

Cano almost won it last year or two years ago. He had a .330+ average at the end of the season.

But the year before that, he hit .330+. It shows that he is capable of a lot, since he was able to do that in his rookie year.

i know cano isnt bad, i like him
but you are picking one year out of three, the least recent year, and using it as a guideline
a TON of guys have had big years in the history of mlb and never reepeated it
i bet you loved kevin maas

I don't know who Kevin Maas is. I'm saying what I am saying based on all of the games I have watched cano. His ability to put his bat on the ball is absolutely amazing. I've seen him take balls near the dirt and put them in the stands. He has also done the same with high pitches. Abreu is the Yankee's best hitter though.

Heart/Desire has nothing to do with winning games. If that was the case stats wouldn't be needed. Having Jeter in the two hole and all their injuries are what stumped them.
Not many teams will win when 3/5th of your starting rotation doesn't play half a season.

The four of the Yankees starters at the beginning of the season are currently on the dl or in the minors. It's crazy that they just got Pavano back. Next year, I envision the starting 5 to be, Sabathia, Wang, Pettitte, Joba, and Hughes. Then again, Mussina might get re-signed since he's had a great year. This is going to be a crazy off season for the Yanks I can promise you that.
