interesting tidbit for tomorrow's preseason baseball

[Brock Landers]

Note, Tampa Bay is -135..Twins start Perkins

Expect the junior varsity to be in action when the Rays take on the Twins at Charlotte Sports Park on Wednesday afternoon at 1:05 ET. Discounting starter James Shields and some big league bullpen arms -- most notably Rafael Soriano and Grant Balfour -- the Rays aren't likely to put many regulars on the field. With eight of their nine projected starters in Tuesday night's lineup, and with two more night games scheduled for Thursday and Friday, the Rays will use Wednesday's matinee to freshen up their regulars.

the odds say otherwise, but I bit and bet fifty.

If it works out, you get points/ if not, you get ........

keep up the good work, and you shall be justly rewarded.

I love your avatar Archie LOL I remember that picture of Haim just after the show the two coreys ended. Sad ending for him, but in truth, its amazing he lasted as long as he did.

That's some good info I would have missed.. I am going with it and if I win 10 pts coming your way.

Are people dumb or what? the line moves 20 cents upward, do they not know the regulars ARE NOT playing for Tampa?

How the hell can you load the bases with no outs and not score??? Wow...

Looks like the JV was batting right there..

[xxdjstriderxx]

[Brock Landers]

thats very poor, to load em up and not score. Thats how you lose games for sure.

[xxdjstriderxx]

just need one nice inning for the twins

a push would be good at this point

[Living The Dream]

Rays had a runner at 3rd with 2 outs and then proceed to score 3 straight runs and have another runner at 3rd with 2 outs...

Glad I went small on this, what a mistake

[BigDaddy]

TB leads 5-1 now

2 out wild pitch then a 2 out 2 run triple

Game over

Tried to find an edge for the boys in spring training ball...sorry fellas.

[xxdjstriderxx]

[smitch124]

[jjgold]

Pre Season bases is a sucker game

Starting lineups means nothing
