Quality teams. I ain't watchin a buncha bums tonite.

Detroit (-1) (-121) 121.00 ----> 100.00

A month ago I would certainly not have called the Tigers an elite team, but you can't argue with success and they can make it very hard for the White Sox to catch them if they win maybe 7 of the next 10. AND if they win the Division, who knows how far they can go with Verlander pitching 2 games or more each series?

Damn Yankees (-1) (-144) 144.00 ----> 100.00

Nuff said. Even with Jeter and A-Rod out.

Thinking of another early one. Would love to take Tampa playing like a house on fire and their awesome pitching and ways of "just winning" anyway they can. But it's Romero tonite...and his ridiculous #'s this last while.

Ricky Romero will conclude what?s been a phenomenal August for him ? he?s 4-0, 1.66 with a 0.789 WHIP and opponents are hitting just .142/.238/.291 against him for the month. He?s coming off a no-decision against the Royals in which he battled through six without his best stuff and left in a 3-3 tie. Lawrie won that game with a 7th-inning homer, and so far that?s been the Jays? only win in this seven-game homestand that ends Monday night.

I dunno...best just to pass and watch, methinks.

GOOD LUCK y'all tonite. :0008 Back later. hope...

I've been forcing myself to watch Florida play. I think I'd rather go to the dentist. :facepalm:

Am I wrong or do these guys need a good kick in the ass? Or someone like Kurt Schilling in the clubhouse? Which is the same thing. Jeezus guys! This is not even funny!

Going with Philly. Yes, Hamels is a bit of a ? mark off the DL but he is a horse and has looked good coming back. Also, Philly should be well-rested after the bout with Irene, sorta like a min All-Star break. (Same with Atlanta.)

Philly/Hamels (-1) (-113) 113.00 ----> 100.00

Still pondering Tampa and Jays.

There?s no question that the Jays are in a particularly rough patch of the season right now, but it?s nothing that hasn?t happened before. They?ve had awful home series before this year ? the ones against the Tigers in May and the Red Sox in June stand out ? and the fact of the matter is that they?re a game under .500 in the overall and have still never had a losing streak as long as five games this season.

They've lost 4 in a row now and could make it five...or not.

Reyes back for the Mets this 2nd game and leading off, announcers said.

Staying with Arizona for their lively play lately. They are in it and they know it and they are going for it.

That's all you can ask of a team. :0008

And it's nice to have a tiny bit of plus money for a change. :142smilie

Arizona (-1) (+102) 100.00 ----> 102.00

Don't know what will happen in the Tampa/Jays game but sure glad I hummed and hawed and laid off the Rays. :0074
