B4 you play Anaheim.....

[Coca-Cola Kid]

This seems, to me, like a sucker bet.
Home team game seven....Momemtum....BS !!!

My reasons why SF wins tonite......

Analayzing last nites' game....
Mike Scoiscia HAD to bring it that Rodriguez kid
for 2-2/3 innings.....Tough...but he had to.

Now - the longer this series has gone..the more looks they
have seen from this guy. SF is starting to hit this kid.
HE IS THE KEY for the Angels. He bridges the gap to Percival.

Now - normally you would not pitch this kid in the regular season
after 2+ inning on a back to back.
But - since this is the seventh game - HE HAS TO !!

How is Scoscia gonna do that ? He needs at least 5 from Lackey.

Everything favors SF tonite.
Livan Hernandez - who can pitch well in big games
John Lackey - journeyman minor leaguer...
(You're gonna place 5 stix on him ?)

A low scoring game favors SF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What happens if SF score three earlier off lackey ???
Then the Angels are screwed...Panic Button
Their Bullpen is deleted...
Donnelly ?? Schoenweiss ? Rodriguez (tired) ?
Come back with Wahburn ?? - They've tagged this guy...

Bullpens have been winning this series - outside of Percival/Nenn
The Angel pen seems a little bit more depleted...

Now - the Key for the Giants is Livan...
Need a strong SIX from him....
and if tagged earlier - Bring in Reuter.....
ADV - Giants

I sense - pitcher get the calls tonite.....
AND THE BALL WILL SEEM SO SMALL......

If YOU ARE ON the SF Giants and the only thing from stopping
you from winning a championship was John Lackey ?
Would you come out swinging ???

If YOU ARE ON the Angels and the only thing from stopping you
from winning a championship was Livan Hernandez ?
I'd be concerned !

Finally.. I believe the Ump behing the plate...is the same one
who did Game one....don't quote me here. (Low Scoring)

Public expects an Angel Blowout w/lots of runs
EXPECT THE OPPOSITE

The Value play here is Giants +125 ml
and Protect yourself with the +1.5 Run line.

That over of 9.5 seems high.......
.......you need one team to score 6 runs to get it.....
Is one team scoring 6 tonight ??? Not so sure......
Like the under also +115

 

[Billy]

But SF has no RALLY MONKEY............

 

[TJBELL]

Livan can pitch in big games? Look at the other day. You were so right last night. Today?? we shall see.

Anaheim 4 SF 2.

just my 2 cents. good luck though!!

 

[jakejj]

All the Giants have left is a fat over-hyped starter whom the Angels will tag again tonight and a bullpen full of used up, tired arms. The GIANTS ARE DONE! Lackey and the Halos HUUUUUGE!Angels run-line is a play as well, -11/2 +170!

 

[doveshack]

Who's bullpen is all used up? You shoot your own argument in the foot.

 

[doveshack]

jake,

Do you have any football picks I could fade as well?

 

[Billy]

Shack.......this just in from ESPN.........Bonds has a hangnail.......
this could be HUGE.......GO ANGELS........:toast: :drinky: :Yep:

 

[Juji-gatame]

Already have series on AN, May add more to it. Nen is not himself either. Go Angels. I relly dislike Barry Bonds and Jeff Kent. 2 Asses IMO.

#1 Here are some bullpen numbers-
Frankie Rodgriguez 7.2 innings pitcherd; he's 20 years old, he can pitch another inning or so. The Giants are starting to hit him - yes, and many are also skriking out.
Donnelly - 5.2 innings pitcherd - npbpdy is hitting him
Percival -2.0 innings pitched
Schoeneweiss - 2 innings pitched
They also have starters available, but I wouldn't call this bullpen tired. They have months to rest.
Nen - 3 innings
worrell - 3.2 innings
Zerbe - 5 innings
Felix Rodriguez - 5. 2 innings
And they are well rested as opposed to Angels??????? Giants top 2, Nen and Felix, have already been rocked by Halos. Donnelly and Schoenweiss haven't been scored on and Percy only gave up a meaningless home run to BB. I would call this even, at best.
#2 Hrernandez vs. Lackey
Livan's era in series is 12.27. Lackey gave up 3 runs instigated by two "hits" that didn't go a total of 90 feet. He is fearless and is not overmatched here by any means.
#3 who can bridge gap if Lackey only goes %? Well, Donnelly, Schoeneweiss, Rodrigez would all work to set up Percival. And...who would be surprised to see Percy go 2 innings? The guy is not exactly frail; he's hardly been used in post season.
#4 Angels hit the panic button? don't you think they would have hit it last nite down 5? The only team that will hit the panic button is the Giants who are overdependent on one player. who hits the panic button if Bonds goes 0-4? Pick one Angel or even two Angels that go 0-4, do they still panic?
The Angels are by no means a cinch to win this one. But I would argue that they are not at a disadvantage in ANY area coming into this game.

 

[dawger]

Rodriguez threw only 16 pitches last night.

 

[Hoops]

Nen gave up the double to Glaus last night, but hard to say he's been 'rocked' when his World Series ERA is 0.00.

 

[bohawk]

Relievers, relievers, relievers. Both sides will throw all pitchers
if needed. This bad boy looks under to me.
GL I look for the "Halos Monkey Men" to win with Ortiz being
the "Man".

 

[Pujo21]

San Fran may jump out early with Lackey coming back on 3 days rest...... Everyone goes tonite..

This could be a Barnburner ! Good Luck all...

I have a small Bet on the series San Fran.... but i got lucky on Anaheim last nite. So tonite is a freebie.

I say San Fran small tonite cause Anaheim simply does not quit.
good luck all

 

[LET'S EAT!!!]

sucker bet??????

sucker bet??????

you appear to be wrong again coca-cola kid.....:nono:

 

[gecko]
