Anyone crazy enough to back Dumpy and the Cubs on Friday afternoon?

This. You should go spend that money already

Unfortunately, I didn't bet the first five.

This is kind of disconcerting

I would set the O/U @ 2.5 for Cubs relievers seen in this game. With Pedroia popping out, and Gonzalez doing his best Mark Reynolds impersonation Dumpster should make it deep.

Aviles looked like an eight year old little leaguer there on the bases getting hung up on a ball hit right in front of him.
Comical, this Sox team sucks in every way today, misplayed fly balls to right, base running brain farts, starting pitcher has no clue.........


(not for nothing, if anybody gives a crap, I got a small play on the under 10)

[remeedella]

i doubt I can get a line of 10 but would this go under 6 or 7?

Well there are 14 other games to bet is what I meant. Why force something on a Cubs game that has unpredictable variables is what I was saying.

I hear ya regarding trying to force a play. This is why the game was just a lean for me. If I play anything today, it'll be wnba tonight.

Not trying to be contrarian but what I meant was: people should be careful of mistakenly thinking another game on the card is automatically more play-able just because one or more games is a coin-flip. The perfect example is tonight's game between Pads and A's. I'm sure there are lots of folks who think an auto-fade on the Pads is an easy winner. Well...I'm sure there were those with the same mindset who pounded Mariners last night on the angle that the Pads can't possibly win three straight on the road.

BOL with your Cubs play. Looks like Demp is pitching like a man on a mission, just as I thought he would.

No, I got it before game time.
I saw the winds shifted, so I thought I'd plunk a little on the under.

I was looking at this game too man, honestly Dice K was not bad for his first outing since being back only giving up four runs to a much better offensive club in the Nationals, Boston had no offense in that game. Boston had some life in Miami, coming off a 10-2 win. But I can't take this with Dempster on the mound, Chicago gets up to play for him.

Just like I said.

Marmol tries to blow it, but gets the 3 outs. Lots and lots of hard hit balls today by boston that just didn't get through or were hit right at someone. Cubs easily could have lost had one or two of them fell.

On to tonight!

Marmol = best closer in MLB

Marmol = best closer in MLB

Too funny, I know you are being sarcastic, but I know closers with better ERA's than Marmol's WH/IP ratio
