Capping and Discussions 6/18

[onlooker]

KC/Hou

I really do not have any real strong leans on this game, but if I had to play something it would be the under.

With the Royals being a +205 or higher, and Pettitte going for Houston, it might be worth a shot with the Royals.

Duckworth's first outing was not all that bad, even though he lost the decission.

[Illusion]

Cle-Hafner day to day rest
Cle-Michaels day to day ankle

Mil-Hardy 15 day dl ankle
Mil-Gonzalez day to day shoulder

[bigboydan]

i thought Hafner went on the DL.

[Illusion]

Cle/Mil

Tough game here, but I like the Tribe for Sunday.

[onlooker]

Cle-Hafner day to day rest

Travis Hafner wasnt in the Indians lineup today, so he could be in the lineup for Sundays game. Just check the lineup card about a hour before game time if this is a concern to anyone.

[Illusion]

i thought Hafner went on the DL.

My report says day to day.

[Illusion]

LAA-Vlad is day to day rest

[onlooker]

LAA-Vlad is day to day rest

Again, Vlad wasnt in the lineup today for the Angels. So be alert for the lineup card to see if he is there. I wouldnt figure he would sit out 2 games for rest.

[Illusion]

SD/LAA

Park has been real solid in his last three starts. The Padres are the play for Sunday.

[onlooker]

i thought Hafner went on the DL.

I havent heard anything about him going on the DL. What have you heard Dan? You got me wondering now.

[onlooker]

SD/LAA

Park has been real solid in his last three starts. The Padres are the play for Sunday.

Bartolo Colon will be making his first start coming off the DL. Just be careful if you fade him because of that, he is last years CY Young winner.

[Illusion]

CHC-Barrett day to day back

[Illusion]

Det/CHC

Prior is supposed to start for the Cubs tomorrow. Put everything have on the Tigers.

[onlooker]

CHC-Barrett day to day back

Think he will miss Prior's start coming off the DL? I think they need Barrett in there to catch and keep Prior on track. Not sure if Blanco is the right guy to catch Prior.

[onlooker]

Det/CHC

Prior is supposed to start for the Cubs tomorrow. Put everything have on the Tigers.

No, the smart move would be to pass on this one, not to bet the house on the other side of Prior. Not sure I could trust that Cubs lineup, but no way do I lay everything on the Tigers. Who knows, Prior could come out hot.

[Illusion]

Sea-Meche is day to day with back (he pitched last night so it doesn't matter for Sundays game) I just wanted to pass along the info.

[onlooker]

Sea-Meche is day to day with back (he pitched last night so it doesn't matter for Sundays game) I just wanted to pass along the info.

Meche had a great game too, it would be to bad if he misses starts due to a back injury. Mariners have been doing well the past week it seems.

[Illusion]

Think he will miss Prior's start coming off the DL? I think they need Barrett in there to catch and keep Prior on track. Not sure if Blanco is the right guy to catch Prior.

I agree that he needs to start especially since his appeal was heard this past Friday and he will be suspended later this week.

[Illusion]

Meche had a great game too, it would be to bad if he misses starts due to a back injury. Mariners have been doing well the past week it seems.

Meche has actually been good in his last three-four starts. Hopefully the back problem isn't serious.

[Illusion]

SF/Sea

Both starters have been decent in their last three starts. I like the under for Sundays game.

[Illusion]

LA/Oak

Blanton has been real sharp lately and the A's are red hot, so I will lay the juice and take Oakland on Sunday.

[Illusion]

Bos/Atl

Schilling has been real solid and if I were to play this I would take Boston.

[bigboydan]

Schilling is 13-10 lifetime against the braves.

[onlooker]

LA/Oak

Blanton has been real sharp lately and the A's are red hot, so I will lay the juice and take Oakland on Sunday.

Just remember they went 17 innings last night. So that could factor into their bullpens.

[onlooker]

Schilling is 13-10 lifetime against the braves.

With the way the Braves have been playing, that could be 14-10. Not sure about this game yet. Watch the dead Braves hit Schilling around.

[Utopia]

Utley and Vlad G resting on Saturday, shouldn't happen again in their Home game Sunday.


Texas line is LOE , because of the so-called pitching adantage, but this Grimsley stuff is killing the d-backs.

Welcome back Prior

I told you guys to bet the farm on Detroit today. I made a killing fading Prior today.

You gloat about as much as IMG did. No wonder you two got along so well.
