pico: espn streak for cash picks thread.

[BeatTheJerk]

Streak at 1, Play is Penguins

[yisman]

what a disaster. I originally took Halladay Ks because he's awesome, but then I looked at the stats. The Angels are 29th in the majors in Ks.

I figured I'd switch to Angels hits. Halladay Ks is blowing out hits, though.

I'm going to lose badly.

[yisman]

11 Ks by Halladay. Ouch.

[pico]

streak -2

s wliiliams

[yisman]

I was only at 1, but I skipped both tennis matches. They picked the two I wanted nothing to do with.

I'm taking Netherlands win or draw.

[yisman]

Took Joe Mauer in BTS and BTS HR last night. 3/3 with a homer and 3 RBI. He also took a walk.

Welcome to a new member,
Chow kung fu

[yisman]

I just lost all my streaks on mlb.com due to an early deadline.

They make it annoying to login and then make deadlines 15 minutes early.

my sftc pick was netherlands win (+140) or draw (+220). Combined implied probability of 72.92%.

They lost 4-0.

[losturmarbles]

im feeling lazy, i'm taking ichiro tonight i guess or maybe usa soccer

[veto]

just blew my 9 game streak on girls softball like 2 days ago....hmmm interesting thread tho.

[yisman]

I think I'll take Ichiro again tonight.

[yisman]

#&$^&@^#@

Detroit destroyed Bard, which means the Cabrera-Bay prop is running past the deadline for the late picks.

I wanted to take Ichiro so I could get to 2.

The Angels were my second choice. I should've done it...

[pico]

streak 3

d safina 17 or fewer

[yisman]

streak at 2.

wanted the mets but missed the deadline by a few seconds

[yisman]

If this soccer game ends in time, I'm taking no on the Big Unit.

First of all, Washington is favored. Second of all, even if the Giants win, he may not get the win.

edit: nevermind, it's going to be delayed.

[yisman]

people are furious because the lacrosse thing had the wrong deadline (listed at 9:30 PM, which was when ESPN2 was showing it on tape delay, but it was actually a 7:30 game). They ended up canceling the play after 9 PM

The game was played and there was a result. Not our fault if you can't do your job properly. For all we know you did it on purpose. Nobody can be that inept and still get paid can they? I saw nothing in the official rules to cover this issue. You screwed up. You can pay the price. Though I'm certain nothing will happen since you geeks can do what you want and get away with it. See you in hell!!!

This is horse crap I picked this game before it even started and missed out on all of the others pick and then you go and cancel it after I have missed all but one pick. That was your fault for puting the wrong time not ours give us the win. We don't get to cancel out of pick when the times get adjusted and save out streaks, so you shouldn't be able to cancel out of wins for us.

streak 1

fernando gonzales

[yisman]

my only pick this afternoon was college baseball and it had rain delays and it eventually got suspended so my streak is still at zero. This sucks. It tied up the whole afternoon and I got nothing out of it.

[losturmarbles]

i picked ichiro for later

lol i missed that cricket mess

[BeatTheJerk]

Streak at 1, play is KC

[yisman]

i picked ichiro for later

lol i missed that cricket mess

You mean lacrosse?

Anyway, I'm leaving now. Ichiro is a good pick and so is Fullerton. I took Ichiro. Wish I could schedule picks. I'd schedule an earlier pick, then Ichiro, then picks tomorrow.

[losturmarbles]

lol sorry lacross, i dont remember seeing either, thought it was something i missed this morning. read over where you said lacross.

[yisman]

ugh lost with Ichiro. Should've taken Fullerton.

[losturmarbles]

yeah was surprised this morning when i checked

who is the chow kung fu, arthurv guy in the group? what's his sbr handle?

[losturmarbles]

surprised espn doesnt have the faber/brown mma match tomorrow night

[yisman]

Won with San Diego. Streak at 1.

Taking 4 or 5 to start off tomorrow.

[losturmarbles]

i read this on a message board:

>Southern Miss over Florida
-----Southern Miss is pitching their ace and the C-USA POTY while Florida is pitching their #2. Southern Miss already beat them yesterday when they faced Florida's ace.
>Arizona State over Clemson
------Not much I know about Arizona State. I just really like how to line started at -300 in favor of ASU and has moved to -330.

at 5dimes:
florida is -220 fav
arizona st is -325 fav

im taking ari st tonight.

[yisman]

three people just got busted up by Arizona.

about to lose a 5 gamer on Irish soccer. That was silly.

Streak of 3 and I'm going to take the Fever tonight at the 4% lol. Them high 90% plays are losing at an alarming rate and I don't want to be apart of it!

[losturmarbles]

silly yis.

tonight i like:

florida marlins
boston red sox
detroit red wings
colorado rockies
1st quarter points
orlando magic
oakland athletics

i guess i'll play orlando, streak at -2 right now.

[yisman]

I have to learn to stop picking soccer when I have 3 or more.

Now my streak is at 0. I wanted to try and get two picks in, so I took the earliest game available, but it's in a #&%$@#ing rain delay, so one pick only tonight.

[yisman]

I've won 7 of 8 and now have a .609 winning percentage. Still nothing longer than 9, though. Stupid soccer.

Not sure whether to pick soccer this afternoon. 2 game streak.

6-0-1 for me on college baseball/softball
34-18-1 MLB (.654)
6-3-1 tennis (.667)

7-12-1 soccer

Aside from soccer, I'm 85-47-5 for a .644 winning percentage.

I bet there are few in the entire SFTC that have at least 100 picks that can beat that.

[pico]

streak 1

gonzales 3rd plate any other
