[yisman]

I took the Eagles for some reason. Not looking good.

[SamsNCharge99]

I got Pujouis 3 or more ttal bases

[yisman]

McNabb hands the ball to Freeney. Then...

14-0 as the Eagles decide not to cover Reggie Wayne and he goes 70 something yards.

looks like I'm going back to 0, and I won't even be able to take the Pujols prop.

[yisman]

yay McNabb to Jackson for a 39 yard TD

they set the totals low for preseason, and this one will go over before the half.

Don't feel so bad. I took the Eagles -4

[yisman]

"they set the totals low for preseason, and this one will go over before the half."

ok, exaggeration, but it'll probably go over in the third quarter.

36-36.5

looks like hits will win.

It was the right pick. Houston is 10th in the majors in hits and 29th in Ks.

[yisman]

what the hell? they said there was a penalty for illegal formation and it was still third down. then the TV shows 4th and 11 anyway and the Eagles punt.

WTF is Carey doing out there?

[yisman]

Feeley gave away a FG with terrible clock management.

He dumped it off underneath twice when they could not afford to do that.

[yisman]

Eagles were terrible.

I considered waiting for tomorrow, but 5 Dimes doesn't post the odds for LLWS until the day of, so I didn't know whether the picks were good.

I screwed myself up big time

all this after I skipped the hamburgers because the Moron in Charge screwed up the Bolt prop.

Odds moving.

New York is now -310. Now up to 28% of people picking them. I'm taking them to win and hoping that if there's a delay, the other games will be pushed back as well.

Georgia -350.

The Moron in Charge also screwed up the Germany game.

It was originally posted as a straight up prop, and then he changed it.

Will this be another double change like the Bolt mess? Maybe tomorrow it will be over 15?

Does this #### streakmaster even think about these picks before he puts them up here? Why not put a little thought into what picks will go on the board, instead of putting something up and realizing that oh S* it, we got it wrong. Let's pull it off the board. This is very well run game...

Funny thing is that the original prop of 19.89 or faster wasn't even a lock or an easy win as you call it. Bolt is known to walk across the finish line if he's unchallenged. He's a head case. No guarantee he was going to run full out given what he's done in the past. He could have posted a 19.95 just as quickly as he posted a WR. That's what I thought the SM was thinking when posting the original prop...trap. Prop should have stayed as-is.

This is absolutely ridiculous! If SM posts a play, it should remain on the board without any change except to clarify the language of a prop or update the time a prop starts. If SM hands out easy wins, its not our fault and we shouldn't be punished for his (or their) foolishness.

What a joke. I'd apply to take over the SM position except for the fact that its likely run by a kid making 20k a year!

The SM forgot to change it a FOURTH time to,
Bolt must finish under 19.00 and carry five pianos on his back while eating three cheeseburgers!!! SM your an FN joke. I hope Progressive jacks you tools for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!
I'm going Eagles tonight for W9, but as soon as I do, the SM will change it to, Eagles must win by 1,759 points!!!!!
Hope I'm not making a hasty pick trying to make up for the Bolt cheat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hear you Battierpeeler. It's not like it's the day of...but the Bolt thing was rediculous and has people upset now. Remember, he changed the Bolt pick from 19.89 to 19.79 the night before too, but that didn't stop him from changing it again 2 hours before it went off. I think the SM needs to chill a little and wait till he's ready before posting these props. I like the flack he's getting. It's warranted.

Streak at 11, taking Northwest in the LL World Series. They are a -380 on 5dimes.

[yisman]

f-ing American Airlines and these bandits at Chicago O'Hare make you pay like $8 a day to use the Internet.

first class in AA and no Internet.

Mercy Rule Island is -300. Hopefully they lose.

I missed the 5 minute window between the Burnley unlock and the deadline of LLWS.

I got three hours of sleep so I'm out of sorts.

canada taipei under 13

[yisman]

how do you know what to pick?

I don't even know if there are totals available for the games.

[yisman]

busted play

they seemed to get an inning-ending dp, but the ump ruled after that that the SS didn't touch the bag.

He blew the call.

they got the out at first, then they started running off the field, MRI scored a run, but the second runner was thrown out and stayed down, apparently injured.

horribly blown call. the SS did touch the bag.

2-0 instead of 1-0

[BestPlay2day]

Back down to zero, had to take the -380 favorite so no regrets. Took the Twins in the 1pm game. Hope for a shot at the WNBA game and either the Yankees/Red Sox or the soccer match. Got to rebuild my streak again.

streak 3, skipping yankees/red sox, may skip soccer too

[ryanspeer2001]

Never played this and don't really plan to but just wondering do you have to make picks on consecutive days or can you take a few days off between plays?

[SamsNCharge99]

YYankees...losing streak of 2

[yisman]

you can take time off.

you can pick and not pick again for as long as you want

[yisman]

not sure whether to take soccer
