Tempting to follow the Twins steam, but I can't back Duensing.

[JamesBrown]

I'm heavy on the muts this morning NC. BOL with your card today.

[lyon804]

ah shit my main man lyon is back around

good to see a few good peeps popping up as been way to many bitch little trolls and coward asss ghost to deal with lately..

a lyon sighting....

Great posts, lyon. Don't be a stranger my friend.

Didn't realize my bullshit was so missed. I'll be around some boys but not like I used to when I accumulated 7K post in less than a year. I have 2 children now, a wife, a mortgage, 2 cats and a dog. Also my business has grown somewhat since I began on SBR so my free time has been cut into by some responsibilities. I do love this time of the year though. Nothing like fall. I love football and basketball. I love October, nothing quite like college football, NFL and Baseball Postseason going in full swing. I might suck at betting baseball but that won't keep me from betting and enjoying the postseason. Somethings are worth money and this time of the year is to die for. I hate Summer. I do miss the internet community here. dex,banker,coin. Hope all is well and I'll be seeing you around.



Coin, What about them Padres Baby



That was a sweet ass game, worked about exactly like we expected. Those sharp Bettors were on that total going over like I figured because they knew Pads were gonna get into Hanson like I suspected.

It was nice to have a game go the way you'd expect for a change.

Hope you post up more this fall, whenever you get a chance. If I didn't have a desk job where I'm at a computer 90% of the time, I'd never post here.

Ha, Bullshit! Ya love it man. I use to also. But mainly ratshit here now so I have little interest. I have lost patience as I get older sifting through ratshit so I stay away from here more now when I have free time. Like you I work at a desk in front of the computer, but mainly stay on the phone all day... Trying to use what people skills I have left. I have been doing very little productive work lately due to my excitement of the season change and of course football. Not real sharp at betting it but love some football, love the season.

Maybe I shouldn't write the Cubs off yet. I forgot Brock was on Milwaukee.

[No coincidences]

Ha, Bullshit!

OK, maybe never is too strong....

[No coincidences]

Cash the Cubs -- I guess.

K-Fraud is an embarrassing failure.

2-2, +2.38U on afternoon games.

[No coincidences]

No plays tonight. Lean Detroit and Toronto, but I've been busy with work and college football. Would just be gut plays.

I also think Vogelsong at -180 on the road vs. anyone is ridiculous.

[italianbandit]

I agree on Vogelsong, but I think its better to lay off him here, and wait for a little better spot than the Astros.

And of course, as I lay off the Jays and Stros, they're winning with ease.

you cant win ofr winning bro..on bright side your vandy pick looks like nails,,,be nice if scary could find way to win or my tease, also on vandy +4.5 2nd half tho as it wasnt looking good (miricale middle please)

[italianbandit]

But with Stros you can't look at just 4 innings. Its already 4-3.

I'm sure that tonight will for some reason be the night.

No the Astros are the only team that one shouldn't invest in this year. They are that bad.

Call it the Brock effect.

StL +102 (2U to win 2.04)

Just a gut feeling that Waino plays the roll of slump buster here.

i worry here brother..not bout waino as you know i have quite the man crush on him problem is not only have cards bats went back into the witness relocation program it appears they very well could have just lost furcal for the season, which hurts tremendously on defense as while i love delscalso's effort and arm he just doesnt have the range like raffy, you wouldnt think that hurt as much with waino on hill but waino is one of he top ground ball producers in the league, not only is that a downgrade at short but that forces shoemaker to 2nd and while love skips bat he is a liability in the field so now we got waino forcing grounders and a d up the middle that avg at best (prob slightly below),,,not to mention instead of furcal in there taking swings from the right that puts 2 lefties with suspect d taking swings off gio...i have no doubt wainwright will continue to be nails but i worry bout a few routine dps not being turned and a ball or 2 getting thru that normally wouldnt which could be huge in a gm i dont see many runs in...strangely even tho the ump behind the dish has a favorable kzone for pitchers gio has struggled the few times when Muchilinski was calling balls and strikes (really not enough to say much just odd i thought)...honestly i think the play here is under 7 but again furcal being out changes things on the defense enought to have me slightly worried..

I have been wanting to know all season why that guy don't play more? I don't have MLB ticket so I just see the cards occasionally, but I have always knew Schumaker could rake a little. Maybe not a power guy but I don't know many lifetime .300 hitters warming the bench in a "utility" role. It seemed like Larussa played him and Matheny don't respect his game as much. I just haven't been that impressed with Descalso's lumber. I know what schumaker can do at the dish given the opportunity to get into his rhythm and swing it. I know defense is very important but geez it seems like giving up so much at the plate. I love plugging scumaker in a 2B in daily fantasy, he is underrated in salary cap on fantasy and usually does the job needed to win. Schuamker everyday player if I am managing that team.

yea most ppl around here not happy with shu being on the bench most days..i guess in defense of matheny cards really shouldnt need the extra bat, of coarse this isnt the case but on paper anyways...and yea descalso not exactly great at the plate but he does at least take good abs even if the results arnt always there and it is a drastic difference in the field and while that may not be popular, with the bats cards already have in lineup and fact most their pitchers pitch to contact i have a hard time arguing against him playing, normally i say give shoe day off when westy pitches and maybe garcia (garcia only because he to fragile to pitch around a error), another factor is i believe descalso hits lefties much better than shumaker..last year shoe moved around everywhere i dont think tlr ever had him set as everyday 2nd baseman (i dont think anyway, memory foggy atm), and yes now it appears he will have to be but the fact descalso is gonna have to play short really weakens the double play combination and with cards lack of production at the plate i worry the extra few outs a gm may very well cost stl pitchers and be tough to compensate for at the dish..

[lyon804]

Thanks for explaining. Way I see it the Cards offense is not near as dynamic without Beltran and he isn't swung it in awhile. Craig is Craig and Holliday of Course, but Freese Jay, and Molina while they are very good they don't have the same prescence. Craig and Holliday is what makes that team go and without Beltran as a run producer right now it kind of limits them. Earlier in the year the way Beltran was producing I thought they were serious contenders for another ring now there outlook is a little foggy. Waino is gonna need to pull a Carpenter to make any noise this year because the rest of the pitchers are not capable of winning in October. Westbrook and Lohse are quality big leage pitchers, but they are not October pitchers. I like watching the Cardinals and hope to see them back in the playoffs this season.

yea with the furcal injury i have my doubts if cards even make it, beltran on serious decline, had injection last week for wrist but hasnt seem to do him any good, sadly furcal been playing much better since his but that appears over with now..w/o a good defensive ss i see problems as like you said cards pitchers arnt playoff pitchers and that because they pitch to contact, if all a sudden 2-3-4 more balls a day make it out of infield and a dp or 2 get botched that is asking a ton out of these guys to get 4/5 outs in multiple innings ..freese can be a presence but that guy is one streaky ass dude, this 1st yr ive seen him be healthy all the way throughout a season and his inconsistency is glaring, i luv Jay so not sure what more you want out of a leadoff guy, and molina is having a great offensive yr and for yrs ive thought id rather have him up than anyone on team in big spots, but ultimately this team is terrible in high leverage situations, late in close gms hardly any hrs and flat out stink, they pad their stats when they rolling and everything going well (who would have thought this to be true when they were so clutch in playoffs last yr), even when beltran was blasting the ball it was always in 1st few innings and then cards front run, while both cincy and pit are much better hitters and have way more high leverage hrs when gms are on the line..cads run differential is that of a 100 win team then you look and see they are something like 11-38 in 1 run gms and 5-14 in 2 run gms (those w/l marks are guesstimates, they close but not right on, you get idea)
