    Trap or gift???

    toronto blue jays -105

    is this line right??? how can Marcum be the dog to Tommy Hunter???

    here is what i found on Hunter...
    Tommy Hunter struck out 12 while allowing just an unearned run over 8 1/3 innings for Single-A Bakersfield on Tuesday.
    Hunter, a 2007 supplemental first-round pick, is 3-3 with a 3.93 ERA, 40 H and 30/4 K/BB in 36 2/3 IP in the California League. He might work better as a reliever, as some extra velocity would make his fastball less hittable. However, the Rangers are likely to keep developing him as a starter. He might not be more than a No. 4 or No. 5, but he could develop into a fine innings eater.

    decent #s, but its only single A ball. the kid is only 22 years old, making his major league deput against marcum and hes favored???

    am i missing something? need some help here boys...trap or gift?

    marcum isnt doin shit since he came off the dl
    and the rangers are better than the jays if a hurt marcum pitches

    marco scutaro, rolen, eckstein, inglett, stairs and zaun

    none of those are major league hitters

    throw in lind and wilkerson for good measure

    ya, marcum came off the dl and has been 0-2 with like a 6.8 era. dont let his season stats fool you. dont even play this game in my opinion, i havent done all my research yet for my games, but this game i immediatly told myself to stay away.

    Scott Rolen is a legitimate hitter. He was Cardinals No.2 hitter. What the hell are you talking about?

    bro, scott rolen aint the player he was on the cards
    he has had arthro on his shoulder
    he will never even hit 15 homers again
    he is a lousy hitter

    we aint talking about the cards

    here is my question:

    who has the best offense in the majors?

    do you really think marcum will bounce back in 100 degree weather on the road vs the best hitting team in baseball

    this aint brandon webb or lackey
    its shaun marcum

    There is no such thing as a "gift" in Vegas.

    the last two days people on sbr said

    the angels are going to lose, taking them at +165 vs beckett or +160 vs pettite is a trap

    trapped me into making money

    as long as you guys keep calling games traps and gifts, you shall lose

    they dont exist
