    Nice snap...

    Holy shit, did you guys see that?! Even though I'm on the Niners, I can admit that was pretty frigging funny. :142smilie

    Opinions on DirectTV?

    I've always had Comcast cable and, for the most part, been happy with it. Unfortunately, the last couple of months I've had my service 'interrupted' 2 or 3 times -- once it was down for 16 hours, then yesterday it was down for 4 hours, so I missed some of the football games. :facepalm: I'm not...

    Aroldis Chapman

    This guy is ridiculous. I'm watching the Reds game against the Rox and he's consistently hitting 102, and just threw one 103. He's also snapping off a pretty good slider, too. If this guy can learn to control his pitches better he should have a pretty bright future.

    Question for all you MMA experts...

    Is this card worth going to see? http://www.comcastarenaeverett.com/MainArena/Events/General.ashx?p=65&69_evntdt=819&69_evnt=561 Everett is just up the street from me, but I don't follow Strikeforce closely at all so I don't know if this is an event I should check out. Thoughts? PS -- Sorry...

    Two plays for 6/26

    I haven't looked it up, but my record on posted plays is bad. Real bad. Something like 3-8 or 3-9. I seem to do much, much better when I don't post, but I figured what the hell? :shrug: Washington -123 - The only thing that scares me about this game is that the line looks really light. I...

    Pete Rose corked bat?

    Anyone see this yet? It looks like deadspin.com is reporting that Rose used at least one corked bat at some point in his career. Not really sure what to make of it, or if it's legit. :shrug: http://deadspin.com/5555714/this-is-pete-roses-corked-bat

    Is Andrew Bailey injured?

    5-4 game going into the top of the 9th and the A's bring in Wuertz? 7.00 ERA Wuertz??? :scared Is Bailey hurt? It was bad enough when they brought in 6 ERA Ross to give up a 2-run HR last inning, now their "closer" today is Wuertz? I'm confused... :confused:

    Gary Coleman dead at 42...

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/05/28/AR2010052803123.html?hpid=entnews I had the TV on and someone was giving a news update, then says "Oh yeah, and Gary Coleman died today." Come on now... maybe I am just a product of that generation, but his death should be more...

    One play for 5/15...

    3-7 -3.825 units Haven't been betting much due to the poor start, but I have had a few unposted winners in the last few days so I figured I would give posting another shot. Here's the game I like today: TB - 1' +100 - I just think this game sets up very nicely for TB. They are coming off a...

    Info on Mariners lineup tonight...

    Just a small piece of info for youze guys... the M's lineup tonight has 5 AAA hitters in it. That's not sarcasm or a "gee these guys suck, they should be in the minor leagues!" comment, they literally have 5 minor league bats in the lineup tonight. Tuiasosopo hits 5th and was just called up...

    3 plays for 5/11...

    2-5 -3.825 units Ok, Glenn Quagmire can't catch a break lately. I'm going with RLs today as I think there is some value in these plays: TB -1' +120 risking 1 to win 1.2 St. Lou -1' -110 risking 1.1 to win 1 Minny - 1' +115 risking 1 to win 1.15 I think in all these situations...

    One play for 5/10...

    2-4 - 2.825 Pitt +106 -- I've always been a big fan of Ohlendorf. If he didn't play for the Pirates I think he would get a lot more pub. On the other side, I've never been real high on Arroyo. At times he looks great, but at others he looks horrendous. As far as the teams go, I think...

    5/9 parlay...

    St. Lou -1' Balty +135 KC +153 Risking. 25 to win 2.5

    One play for 5/8...

    1-3 -3.8 units Seattle/LAA Under 8 (-105) -- It's only a matter of time before Fister has a bad outing since he's been pitching way over his head so far this year, but I like this under. I guess the reason the total is 8 is because Saunders has a high ERA, but that shouldn't matter tonight...

    One play for 5/6...

    1-1 -0.5 units I won't be around much tomorrow so I'm posting this now. I may be crazy, but I'm going back to the well again. I'm betting against the Cubs getting swept, and I'm betting that they win by 2 or more: Cubs -1' +110 2 units to 2.2 GLTA

    One play for 5/5...

    1-0 +1.0 unit (Padres winner yesterday) I started a thread yesterday and was going to just post all my plays there, but I don't want to have one enormous thread with 15 pages of posts. Today I have: Cubbies RL - +105 I'm backing my boy Lou and his Cubbies today. I think we have another...

    My 2010 'Why do I bet on baseball?' thread...

    Yeah, I'm a little late to the party. I was initially going to say that Carol Seaver from Growing Pains sent me an e-mail giving me a pick tonight, but Kickserv has already ran with the washed-up Hollywood actors providing picks theme. So here we go: SD - 133 Not too much analysis on this...

    Anyone see the O/U in the Cards game?

    Am I missing something there? Kyle Lohse and Homer Bailey on the mound for their teams and the O/U is only 9??? I was assuming it would be at least 10'. I ended up playing it pretty small because that line just seems way off. Anyone else play the O/U?

    Question about books and the Hopkins fight...

    Just curious, does anyone know of a book that allows parlays on the Hopkins fight (i.e., Hopkins and under)? I've looked at four books so far and they either aren't offering odds on the fight at all, or they don't allow parlays. Is this normal for boxing???

    Anyone ever stay at Treasure Island?

    I have to admit, when I think of places to stay in Vegas TI doesn't exactly spring to mind. The only time I've been in the casino was when I was 21. I remember thinking it was pretty nice, but that's mostly due to the fact that I was staying at Circus Circus at the time. For those of you who...
