[pattymayo]

point taken. Thank you. PM

totally baffled with the Bats.. maybe just avoid teams that have just completed huge trades..*
everything else i know (or think i know) pointed to Francis not having such an easy ride with them..*

[You mad bro]

Aug 27th > Return to Yesteryear

I think Josh Beckett is going togo out and do in his first game… what Adrian Gonzalez did in his first 'At-Bat".
We have to throw out all of this/last year's stats on Beckett for this game. Funk is over, at least for tonight:

1) New League: nobody knows him at all.. which means that if he keeps the Rockies basically down until third time through,
the dodgers should be ahead by 3-4 Runs.. and should def. win the game, i think by at least 2

2) Fresh Start: this would affect anyone. He will probably want to make a great impression and
go out and deliver great stuff, to add to the vibe and get on the good side of the fans.

3) Relaxed Clubhouse:*these guys are winning, and will likely end up in the playoffs.. no more negative/tense energy, surrounding every game.
He'll be right at home.is would affect anyone. Unless he went out drinking last night, he will probably want to make a great impression and
go out and deliver great stuff, to impress new team and get on the good side of the fans.

4) Nervous SP Francis:*I think all these high profile players are going to make Francis a bit more tenuous than usual...
and really this has the attention and scope of a nationally televised playoff game, one that he was not expecting.
A few days ago, this was just a regular home-start. NOT Anymore it's not!*

Francis has an ERA of almost 6 (5.79) tack on all that Dodger hitting.. plus the media coverage... *

…all in all, i think this "Big Game/Fresh Start" adds up to a Dodger 'W'

> • /LA Dodgers (-155) 2X __-1.5 RL (-105) 1X

Beckett at -155 was the worst bet I have seen in YEARS. I dont know what ******* moron would take this gas can Period Especially Minus money on the road.

[Awesome-O]

wow they really tried to screw me with 7 runs in the 8th...but the under held on! BEAT LA!

[Avenger]

Trap game of the day. Buried a lot of people.

Thinking of taking the Dodgers with Blanton tomorrow. Blah blah Blanton, I know, but Dodgers bats should heat up.

i think i fell for it.. i should know better than to bite on a team in such flux...

that was my fault. need to be smarter than that.

If they set traps, and i walk right into it... it's on me.. i am sorry for misleading anyone of i did...

take LAD at your own risk.... at least for the moment..

cheers to you, Avenger...*

[Barnes & Whine]

Blanton is terrible. I'd lay off. Pathetic display by the draft Dodgers tonight. Feel no shame Ratzz.

Thank you B&W, you are very kind sir.

i like the 'draft-dodger' pun... that is right on.. lol
(i don't think a better term exists for what i saw tonight..)

i thought Beckett okay, i just really expected some of Saturday's sizzle out of the bats..
(i.e. Gonzalez homering in first At-Bat)

but big "zilch-0"*

i will avoid teams with big new faces, until they get settled..
maybe their hotel arrangements are all screwy.. who knows..?

lesson learned.*

[Frank-King]

Beckett pitched solid, Dodgers bats were silent the whole game. Now watch them kill it on the second game

No problem sir. I enjoy your write ups and picks. Already was on the Dodgers last night but felt better about it that you had your reasons to go with them. I always like to have multiple reasons to bet a big chunk of my bankroll on a play. Couldn't have asked for more from Beckett, just offense wasn't there. But anyway, like you said, you gotta wait until a team starts playing in sync and not jump the gun after newly acquired star players.

this may happen.. but i won't dangle my marshmallow, over this until i see the logs are burning.. last night i thought that the crumpled up newspapers would take, and start it.. but they blew out. and i was stuck with cold logs and a soft/cold marshmallow.. not crispy– like i like it. Once that fire is marching along.. ok.. until then.. avoid LAD games..

Thank you B&W, i concur 100%, we both had the same idea.. and it appears that we both erred for likely the same/similar reasons...*but we as learn, we advance.. (which is the basic recipe for evolution).. so as long as we didn't die, we're cool.

Thus we are more learned for the next time we encounter similar circumstances.

Cheers to you, sir,
let's speak soon

francis is better than people think imo
