Torontonians are slowly waking up to the reality that their baseball team sucks.
The one and only reason why i've been stressing that fact so strongly, is because the canadian media is doing the opposite by calling this hugely under par team, play-off bound. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Atlanta Braves vs Toronto Blue Jays Jurjjens - Richmond There is no emotion attached to this. The Braves are not some amazing team that they should go around sweeping teams, its just that the blue jays are truly at the pit of the major leagues. A tiny glimpse of batting form will not change the reality that the jays bats are not that good. Whats even worse, is their non-existant pitching staff. Its time to rebuild guys. Bet on the Atlanta Braves *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* in case i didn't mention it, this will be the jays 6th loss in a row. |
WHIP, I haven't been around for a while, but it appears your nemeses have abandoned us. Did you have them killed?
|
its good to see you girl, welcome back.
things are not looking good for our team :( the redskins have set a whole new level of defence for our division, and i'm sad to say that the play-offs are unattainable for the eagles. as for your question, i'm afraid i can't answer that ;) |
Alrightly then, I'll refrain from adding Eagles players to my FF teams--but I'll still cheer them every Sunday!
I still have a little place in my heart for the Skins, though, having lived in DC for almost 20 years. Don't hate me for that... |
bluecuracao....donovan and westbrook, should they both remain healthy, will put up great numbers despite the .500 season coming up.
i'll cheer as well, but you gotta be realistic when money's on the line. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* btw... no suprise in atlanta, as the blue jays lost their 6th game in a row. i think ya'll got the point.... no need to keep giving their losses as betting tips, they'll happen 2 out of every 3 games for the rest of the season. i think we're on a bit of a roll here... lets try to keep it up. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* milwaukee brewers vs st.louis cardinals gallardo - carpenter this is a home run park. carpenter will have a tough time maintaining his 0.00 era as he'll be facing fielder and braun. however, he should do well, and the cardinals should get the win. bet on the st.louis cardinals *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* clevland indians vs tampa bay rays carmona - price not too many people know who price is. i do... he's the future of this franchise. the rays will make the post-season, mark my words. bet on the tampa bay rays *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* in case i didn't mention it... bet against the jays |
so the jays lost their 7th game in a row....and counting.
chris carpenter pitched 8 innings, he got 10 k's, allowed 0 runs, 0 walks, and just 2 hits, maintaining his perfect 0.00 era. however, gallardo pitched just as well sending the games to extra innings, where a run won it for milwaukee. young price had control issues rising his pitch count to 100 in the 4th inning... he only allowed two runs though...keep an eye out for this guy as he will certainly make some noise in his career. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* la angels vs chicago white sox saunders vs colon saunders looked amazing in his last outing, shutting down the mariners in a 3-0 win. colon gets to face his old team, but he is outmatched by this superior starter. bet on the la angels *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* san fransisco giants vs atlanta braves lincecum - medlen i believe i'm around 95 percent picking out lincecum's wins and losses. i think i've got all of his wins, while i've picked 1 of his 2 losses over the years of tips. seriously, if you wanna watch an ace, after carpenter, this is the best there is at this time. bet on the san fransisco giants *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* |
Bet it all on the Redwings - :)
|
8th loss in a row for the blue jays, who will end up the underdog in a two horse race with the orioles for last place in the division.
the angels lost 4-2, although saunders wasn't that bad. lincecum shut out the braves over 8 innings, recording another 8 k's. a friend of mine told me that he wishes lincecum would stop trying to strike everyone out. the way i see it, if you strike them out, they're not going to be scoring any runs. lincecum will have one of the best era's in the leagues when the seasons over, and he should rank top 3 in strike-out per inning ratio. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* baltimore orioles vs toronto blue jays hill - halladay notice how they're playing in baltimore. notice the 8 game lost in a row by the jays. now, notice the huge huge price on the orioles win. yeah yeah, whatever... you're all betting on the jays coming out of the slump. get it together...its not a slump, its the jays. halladay is a border-line top 10 pitcher, and yes, he's about all that the jays have at this time. this is not a pre-determined game. the jays are not a better team than the orioles. nash is not the best point guard in the nba. bay is not the best outfielder in baseball. luongo is not the best goalie in hockey. and of course, halladay is not the best pitcher in baseball. the vancouver canucks are not going to twin the stanly cup. the blue jays are not going to make the post season stop listening to the canadian media. bet on the baltimore orioles *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* colorado rockies vs la dodgers kershaw - la dodgers ubaldo jimenez, after having a rough start, has put together 5 quality starts in a row. kershaw should do pretty good as well facing this under par line-up, but you have to give the rockies the edge. bet on the colorado rockies *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* |
so the jays lost their 9th game in a row.
the 2nd in a row where halladay started. the dodgers got the win against ubaldo. nothing to bet on today, so i'll jump ahead to tommorow [friday's games] *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* toronto blue jays vs boston red sox janssen - wakefield i'm not a fan of this red sox knuckle-baller, or the red sox for that matter. wakefield has looked good out there, and the jays are the jays. plus, i told my superior officer before this streak started, that the jays were gonna go on a ten game losing streak.... although 9 is pretty accurate, 10 is perfection. bet on the boston red sox *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* arizona diamondbacks vs atlanta braves garland - jurjjens if you look at the braves batting stats over the past couple years, you'll see that they've hit a load of home-runs. you'll also see that a very very small percentage of them were hit in atlanta. this park is the kinda park that they hit them in. add the jurjjens vs weak line-up factor, and you've got a good bet. bet on the atlanta braves *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* |
What? No hockey prediction? C'mon man - lets talk a real sport like Hockey. You can discuss meaningless baseball games for another 6 months.

whats there to talk about.
in 2006, at this site, i called the penguins, stanley cup contenders for 2008, 2009 and 2010. they were in the stanley cup finals in 08, they're here in 09... i'm not so sure they'll make it next year, but its already pretty accurate, no? you wanna talk about hockey, lets look at 2011, 2012 and 2013. eastern conference atlantic the penguins cycle is almost over. these years will find them needing to rebuild. both ny teams will come into contention in these years as we will see them playing each other in the play-offs at some point. phillie needs to change a lot of things if they ever want to compete again. 11-13 will find the devils at the pit of this division. northeast boston is not going away, they should represent the east in the stanley cup at least once in these years. ottawa will re-surface and make the play-offs, although i can see them selling a year for a draft pick. montreal will always be there as they have always been. i can't see the leafs coming out of mediocrity until they start getting their priorities straight...some good moves have been made, but until i see a few more, they remain condemned ....i will let you know it the second they make a substantial move to leave the pit of the nhl. southeast 11-13 will find this division in a two team battle...washington and tampa bay not only will fight for this division, but they're also stanley cup contenders. atlanta is on pace at creating a very good team...if they really want to make this team competitive, they should finish at the bottom for the next couple years to strengthen up even more. florida and carolina have rough years ahead. western conference central as i've mentioned before, detroit has been surpassed by chicago. detroit is on the fall where chicago is on the rise. they will have some competition from the young st.louis blues. i can't rule out the blue jackets either as they've done some amazing work at building this team. nashville is going to have a tough time in this division these following years. northwest minnesota stands alone here in this very weak division. i can't see how this team can miss the play-offs in any of the 11-13 years. calgary needs to sacrifice a year to fill in some of the holes in the team....if they would have done it already, they'd be in the stanley cup....i'm not so sure they're gonna do it, which removes them from any positive projection. colorado has some work to do, but they're already on there way. edmonton and vancouver will suffer very severely after their costly moves this past year. edmonton is in a bit of a better position than the canucks who will be at the pit of the nhl for some years to come. pacific san jose stands all alone here as they will remain elite. the stanley cup is innevitable for these sharks. i'm afraid to say that the ducks are not in contention anymore, however, they could be back in 2013 if they make the right moves between now and then...they already hold some key young talent. the la kings should be up there around 2nd place in this division. its hard to say wether that'll be enough for a playoff spot. phoinex has the great obstacle of gretzky...he's gotta go. lets hope they move as well. dallas has some serious issues....i've gotta see how turco evolves over the next few years to determine what capabilities this team will have. |
The Braves beat Arizona and the Jays endes their skid.
San Fransisco Giants vs St.Louis Cardinals Zito-Carpenter Carpenter looks to maintain his perfect 0.00 ERA. Bet on the St.Louis Cardinals Stanley cup Detroit Red Wings-Pittsburgh Penguins Detroit is in its worst state over the past 3 years. This is probably the Penguins last chance to win the cup as young teams look to surpass both these teams in the years to come. Penguins in 6 |

right now in detroit we can't use our metal for cars, so we're using our mettle every other way we can. Them wingless birds are dead in the water. It's all about the wings. |
Time will tell.
A perfect day as Carpenter got another win for the Cardinals. He did give up his first run of the season, but he still looks like the best starter in the majors. Toronto Blue Jays vs Boston Red Sox Romero-Lester Another bad streak coming up for the Jays as the Angels are next in line. Then a bunch of games against the superior Rays. Bet on the Boston Red Sox |
the blue jays got beat up against the red sox 8-2, as their 2nd negative streak of the season starts.
Quote:
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* st.louis cardinals vs cincinnati reds wellemeyer - volquez its amazing how the reds are still in the race having both phillips and votto missed most of the season. volquez looks really good out there. bet on the cincinnati reds *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* nba finals la lakers - orlando magic clevland, orlando, it made no difference who the lakers had to face. i don't see how they can make this interesting. lakers in 4 or 5 *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* |
This is turning out to be an amazing baseball season.
Despite Volquez leaving in the 1st inning due to injury, the Reds won 5-3! Toronto Blue Jays vs LA Angels Halladay - Saunders This will be the 3rd loss in a row for the Jays while Halladay has started. A lot of good he's doing for the Jays eh? In his defense today, he faces a superior pitcher in young Joe Saunders. Bet on the LA Angels |
finally roy gets a win despite having a bad 7th...
too bad for jays fans he only get 1 start in 5. toronto blue jays vs la angels janssen - weaver weaver holds a 2.36 era, and he's looking better now than he ever has. his velocity is up, his movement is all over the place. jered is clearly the best starter the angels have. bet on the la angels |
The Angels beat up the jays 8-1, while Jered Weaver pitched a gem.
7 innings, only 3 hits, with 10 strike-outs! *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* St.Louis Cardinals vs Cincinnati Reds Carpenter - Harang Chris Carpenter holds a league leading 0.62 ERA, which most likely will drop even more after today. I've mentioned several times, how Chris is the best starter i've ever watched. The truth is, he's pitching his best stuff at the moment. They won't offer much money on this game, but its a sure bet for a base. Bet on the St.Louis Cardinals *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* |
Chris Carpenter pitched a complete game as the cardinals won 3-1.
he allowed 3 hits, 1 run, 0 walks. he's as dominating as a pitcher can get. the penguins won both games against the red wings at home to even the series. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* toronto blue jays vs kansas city royals romero - grienke the royals have surpassed the blue jays. its not just at the major league level either. the blue jays a-aa-and aaa league teams are a combined 35 games below .500. the blue jays are at the bottom of the pit in baseball, on every level, and for years to come.... get used to it torontonians. bet on the kansas city royals *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* |
Effin wingless birds!
Rumors are that the red wings are getting tired and slowing down... I dunno if I see it that way, but the Pens looked awfully scary for awhile there in the 2nd period and then simply shut Detriot down for the rest of the game. |
i couldn't believe it after game 2 how ever single person i talked to, had this idea that the series was over.
my response was the same .... Quote:
stamina is not one of their attributes. they also got the shit kicked out of them in that 7 games series with the toughest team in hockey anaheim ducks. the penguins are much younger, and a much more talented team than the wings. if it goes to game 7, i'd say its 50/50. if the penguins win game 5 .....the its over for sure. |
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
detroit tigers vs la angels porcello - saunders saunders looks to rebound from his last mediocre start. i don't believe he's ever had 2 bad outings in a row. the angels have been playing all season with 2 starters. lackey, santana and escobar are back to join weaver and saunders. you can expect the angels to run away with this division before long. bet on the la angels *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* toronto blue jays vs kansas city royals halladay - davies at this kind of price, you be crazy not to bet against halladay. the jays have lost 2 out of roys last 3 starts. bet on the kansas city royals *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* florida marlins vs san fransisco giants nolasco - lincecum nolasco is questionable for tommorow's start. not that it would make much of a difference. lincecum will give the giants the win. bet on the san fransisco giants *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* |
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
pittsburgh penguins vs detroit red wings detroit leads seires 3-2 i don't think that there's a team in the nhl that could be considered favorites going into the igloo to face these penguins. game 7 up in the air ..it'll be interesting. bet on the pittsburgh penguins *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* florida marlins vs st.louis cardinals johnson - carpenter the price on this is pretty high, due to the fact that the marlins are at home with their 2.63 era starter pitching. i'm not that big of a fan of johnson's stuff this year. i predict his numbers will rise to the higher 3's by the end of the season. as i've mentioned on many occasions, carpenter is the best starter in the majors. don't be suprised if that 0.71 era goes down instead of up. bet on the st.louis cardinals *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* |
no suprise in pittsburgh, as the penguins go undefeated at home, beating the red wings.
game 7 is up in the air... a perfect scenario for this stanley cup. carpenter got a no decision, as florida won. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* boston red sox vs ny yankees wakefield - wang neither pitcher can be trusted. the deciding factor here are the yankees bats who out-class the red-sox line up. bet on the ny yakees *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* texas rangers vs toronto blue jays millwood - romero watch out torontonians, here comes baltimore to steal that 4th place away from you.... last place seems innevitable. bet on the texas rangers *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* la dodgers vs san diego padres kewshaw - leblanc this game pays a fortune. despite some of you being familiar with kershaw, the fact is, leblanc is a superior pitcher. the dodgers, until manny comes around, should play out around .500 bet on the san diego padres *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* |
I believe the Redwings have gone undefeated at home also -
Game 7... flip a coin. (Go Red Wings) |
nice pay-out on the padres-dodgers game as san diego won 3-1.
the jays game was postponed due to rain, but we're still on for tommorow, as the same starters should be game. wakefield beat wang. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* boston red sox vs ny yankees penny - sabathia its been a long time since brad penny was on his best game. sabathia is back to his almost perfect self, and will get the easy win here. bet on the ny yankees *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* |
so texas got the win in that millwood-romero match-up a day late.
the red-sox swept the yanks. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* stanley cup final / game 7 detriot red wings vs pittsburgh penguins detroit is out-classed here... that might sound weird to some of you, but lets take a closer look at who is who...... goalies detroit osgood 36 years old pittsburgh fleury 24 years old defence detroit lidstrom 36 years old rafalski 35 years old chelios 47 years old pittsburgh gonchar 35 years old letang 22 years old goglioski 22 years old forwards detroit datsyuk 31 years old hossa 30 years old zetterburg 28 years old pittsburgh malkin 22 years old crosby 21 years old staal 20 years old as you can see, there's a huge difference in age between these two teams. wether they win or lose this game 7, this stanley cup is about the kids, not the old men. in the future, when you look back at this penguins team, you'll get a better grasp on how great this team was. there's no way that the penguins can keep these players...the salary cap will force them to get rid of one of these guys come next season, and then another the year after. i'll take the future over the past any day. they have the wings as the heavy favorites, so lets go after the money on the kids. bet on the pittsburgh penguins *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* |
Shuddup! Well I was rootin for the wings for no reason. If P-burg wins then I guess at least the flyers can say they were beaten by the champs.
|
it's my fault the wings lost. sorry.
|
what a perfect day...
the penguins won the stanley cup by winning away in game 7. lincecum pitched a complete game shut-out. the blue jays lost their 3rd game out of the last 5 halladay's started. halladay got injured. as i said...perfect. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* la angels vs san diego padres saunders - geer saunders has a great chance here at home to patch up his recent errors over the 2nd weakest team in baseball [after the jays]. bet on the la angels *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* |
saunders pitched pretty well out there as the angels won 9-1.
worthy of mentioning are the 3 home runs hunter hit in the game. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* toronto blue jays vs florida marlins tallet - johnson sweep sweep sweep. poor torontonians. its like tossing a blue jay off the cn tower with a ball and chain wrapped around its legs, and then watching it trying to fly. nothing can stop the blue jays from hitting the bottom. bet on the florida marlins *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* la angels vs san diego padres weaver - young jered weaver is the real deal. all you need to do is watch this guy and you'll understand. bet on the la angels *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* clevland indians vs st.louis cardinals lee - carpenter chris carpenter leads all the major leagues with his 1.23 era. and to think his velocity still has room to grow. bet on the st.louis cardinals *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* |
the marlins completed the sweep, beating up the blue jays 11-3.
lee outpitched carpenter for a 3-0 win. jered weaver pitched a complete game shut out as the angels won 6-0. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* philadelphia phillies vs toronto blue jays hamels - romero this will be the blue jays 5th loss in a row. it'll be their 18th loss in their past 25 games. the worst in the major leagues in that span. the problem is...its gonna get worse. to no suprise of course, as they are the worst team in the majors. bet on the philadelphia phillies *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* |
the free-falling blue jay, with the ball and chain around its leg, hit the wall, limiting the speed of its fall, but there's still a ways to go.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* colorado rockies vs tampa bay rays cook - price i must admit that i'm a fan of this 23 year old pitcher price. a fear one would have at placing their money on him, is that he's on a pitch count, and will not pitch further than the 7th inning. the rays bullpen remains elite, while their bats are out of this world. i've been going on about how their first 4 bats are the best in the majors... upton, craford, longoria and pena. funny thing is, number 5 and 6 are zorbist and bartlett, who are batting .318 and .376. the team is young, and their farm system is top of the line. the yankees and red sox are still gonna need to do some work to compete against this superior rays team. bet on the tampa bay rays *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* |
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
kansas city royals vs arizona diamondbacks hochevar - haren kansas city will be in a pennant race pretty soon. the royals have a young team with a very rich farm system. hochevar is probably gonna end up being the royals best starter. haren is not as impressive as his numbers might seem. this game pays pretty well. bet on the kansas city royals *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* |
ok, we got a couple losses there, but we still maintain one of the highest percentages on the net in this baseball season.
i've got a long weekend of work, so i'll post a few picks running through sunday...... *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* friday la angels vs la dodgers saunders - billingsley two great pitchers go head to head in this la clash. the angels line-up is superior to the dodgers who are still without manny. bet on the la angels bet on the under *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* saturday kansas city royals vs st.louis cardinals bannister - carpenter carpenter is the best starter in the game. the only thing holding the cardinals back is their weak line-up. bet on the st.louis cardinals bet on the under *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* la angels vs la dodgers weaver - weaver there is no comparing these two weaver's. jered, at this time, is certainly one of the top 5 starters in the game, possibly top 3. bet on the la angels *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* sunday boston red sox vs atlanta braves wakefield - jurrjens jurrjens should dominate this line-up, while the braves could very well beat this knuckle-baller up. bet on the atlanta braves *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* |
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
ny mets vs st.louis cardinals hernandez - pineiro how the hell are the cardinals the favorites here? it makes no sense. could it be because reyes and delgado are not in the line-up? even without them, the mets line-up is by far superior. neither of the starters stand out, and they're playing in ny for the pink unicorn's sake. bet on the new york mets *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* tampa bay rays vs philadelphia phillies moyer - price i can go on and on about price, but the out-most here is moyer. there are 12 year olds that throw a harder fast ball than this guy. moyer does not look good at all out there, maybe its about time he moved on to golf. bet on the tampa bay rays *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* oakland a's vs san fransisco giants mazzaro - lincecum you need to jump all over this price on lincecum's start. you're not gonna find it so high again against such a weak team. bet on the san fransisco giants *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* |
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
toronto blue jays vs cincinnati reds richmond - arroyo votto is finally back in the game, and the reds are back in contention. for the blue jays, its the phillies after this, and then they finally get a taste of what the rays are all about. bet on the cincinnati reds *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* la angels vs colorado rockies saunders - marquis the rockies run is no suprise to me, as i called them for 2nd place behind the dodgers at the start of the season. saunders and the angels are at a whole different level. bet on the la angels *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* |
NY Mets vs St.Louis Cardinals

for monday....
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* toronto blue jays vs tampa bay rays halladay - niemann bottom of the first, bases loaded, nobody out, pena at bat with a 3-2 count ....is it a walk or a grand slam..... for the rest of this season, these two teams will face each other more than any other two teams in baseball. bet on the tampa bay rays *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* st.louis cardinals vs san fransisco giants thompson - lincecum its too bad we couldn't have a carpenter vs lincecum match-up. bet on the san fransisco giants *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* la dodgers vs colorado rockies wolf - jimenez the dodgers are around .500 at home in their past 25 games. funny how all those home games were only paying out 1.25-1.30. are they missing the fact that manny is not yet back. do the math, bet against the dodgers at this time. ubaldo jimenez is the superior pitcher here. by the way, the rockies over their last 22 games are 19-3 bet on the colorado rockies *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* |
Quote:
fact....the blue jays are 2 - 3 in the past 5 that halladay has started. in addition, this is halladay's first game off injury. the elite pitchers of the major leagues are under .500 while coming off an injury. when the blue jays were in 1st place in the major leagues, and all the silly media was going on about the jays being a world series team, i began making some pretty extreme posts about the reality behind the blue jays as a team. where a team is in the standings, does not always indicate how good a team is. form plays a big part of that early on in a season. teams that are truly in contention, become in form later in the season, and even more so near play-off time.. its the smaller, weaker teams that have to be in form when everyone good is out of form to get some wins. the blue jays are that weaker team with no light in sight. the rays on the other hand, are the elite, getting in form slowly like the yankees, to compete for this pennant race. i keep hearing people talking about the rays as if winning the division was a fluke. lets take a closer look at these rays.... they are without any doubt, the fastest team in baseball. bj upton 24 yrs 28 stolen bases, elite lead off man carl crawford 28 yrs .316 average, leads the major leagues with an incredible 39 stolen bases already. evan longoria 23 yrs 2nd in rbi's in the american league, .306 average, 16 home runs.... one of the greatest baseball players of our time. carlos pena 31 yrs leads the american league with 23 home runs bartlett 29 yrs .364 average, and all round player with speed and pop scott kazmir 25 yrs career numbers .385 era 823 strike outs in 773.2 innings pitched... he is who he is and can only get better. james shields 27 yrs .341 era, some consider him to be the rays best starter... he's good, but the rays hold some serious pitchers. david price 23 yrs so far in the major leagues, he's got a 3.38 era, but expect that to improve with time. without doubt, he is the rays elite.... time will show that. expect his strike-out ratio to out numbers his innings pitched, he's that dominating. jeff niemann 25 yrs solid starter making a claim in the world series rays rotation. matt garza 25 yrs 361 era, pitching well of late jp howell 26 yrs 1.67 era the rays closer has not given up a run since becoming tampa bay's closer... 46 k's in 37.2 innings wheeler, balfour, bradford and choate make this bullpen one of the strongest in the majors [not to compare with the mets or red sox pens] Quote:

halladay grants the jays their 4th loss in the last 6 games halladay has started in... he's not really helping much, is he, lol.
lincecum pitched a complete game shut-out, allowing the cardinals only 2 hits in the entire game. it took the dodgers 13 innings to pick up the win against the rockies. we've still got carpenter win againts the giants for tonight, this is for tommorow wednesday........ *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* toronto blue jays vs tampa bay rays romero - shields there is no comparing these two teams, they are leagues apart. romero is about the only starter worth mentioning from the rest of the blue jays rotation. if i ran the rays, i'd start resting up some players when playing such a weak opponent as the jays. even if they do, they're still, by far, the superior team. bet on the tampa bay rays *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* texas rangers vs la angels millwood - weaver as long as jered weaver keeps pitching like he is, my money will be on him no matter who he's up against. bet on the la angels *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* |
wimbeldon - womens semi-finals
dinara safina vs venus williams elena dementieva vs serena williams every single media person involved in this wimbeldon is giving a williams sister final as a sure thing. the truth about the williams sisters is that they're not really that good. they're both borderline top 10 players. the only thing that gives them the edge is their physical strength, which at this grand slam, has value, due to the surface that they play on. the poor english, who really see a false reality every year. i've been watching womens tennis with a passion since i was 4. having watched this wimbeldon closely, i can tell you that dementieva should beat serena. the other semi is kind of up in the air.... i like safina's game, but venus is playing at a very high level.. it will be interesting to watch. this is a betting thread, and both these matches pay a fortune going against the sisters. bet on dementieva bet on safina |
that dementieva match was one of the 20 best tennis matches i've ever watched.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* texas rangers vs tampa bay rays hunter - kazmir kazmir has struggled through injury this season, but he's back it looks like. he is one of the absolute elite pitchers in the game. at the end of this season, you can take another look at his stats and you'll see what i mean. of course it helps that he plays for probably the best baseball team in the majors. bet on the tampa bay rays *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* |
So...which of the Williams sisters do you think will take it, Whip?
|
venus is playing at a whole different level.
i must be honest, i'm not really gonna watch. although, its almost pre-determined, i will watch the greatest tennis player of all time win another grand-slam. i was a fan of pete sampras, so it kinda hurts watching someone surpass him. federer is one to watch in awe |

ny yankees vs toronto blue jays halladay - wang wang may look really really bad out there, but halladay has given the jays four defeats in his last 6 starts. all 4 losses paid a fortune as does this one. it has been very wise to bet against halladay. the blue jays are arguably the worst team in baseball. the yankees are arguably the best team in baseball. bet on the ny yankees *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* kansas city royals vs chicago white sox hochevar - floyd i've been talking about hochevar for quite some time. he's coming off a two hitter, 7 inning shut-out against the twins. he's one of the best young guys out there. the white sox have some serious holes. bet on the kansas city royals *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* san fransisco giants vs houston astros lincecum - ortiz what can anyone say about lincecum. 3 of his last 4 games have been complete games. 2 of them were complete game shut-outs, the latest, against the cardinals, he allowed 0 walks and 2 hits. the 3rd, he allowed 1 run. one could argue wtih conviction, that lincecum is the best starter in the major leagues. bet on the san fransisco giants *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* |
a perfect day, as all 3 bets won.
the jays are now 2-5 over halladay's last 7 starts. hochevar got his 3rd win in a row for the royals. lincecum pitched another shut-out, allowing only 3 hits, while striking out 9. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ny yankees vs toronto blue jays chamberlain - cecil there's no light in sight for the blue jays bet on the ny yankees *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* cincinnati reds vs st.louis cardinals arroyo - carpenter as much as i'd like the reds to win this division, they won't be beating carpenter. bet on the st.louis cardinals *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* philadelphia phillies vs ny mets blanton - santana the mets are gonna need to beat phillie while santana is pitching, otherwise they'll fall back in the race. bet on the ny mets *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* colorado rockies vs arizona diamondbacks jimenez - haren i expect ubaldo jimenez to shut-down this weak arizona line-up. he should last 8 innings. huston street will take care of the 9th, as he has without flaw for quite some time. bet on the colorado rockies *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* la angels vs baltimore orioles saunders vs hill the angels bats are on fire, scoring 49 runs over their past 8 games. saunders won't need to much help to win this one. bet on the la angels *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* |
the jays lost again... and to think that they have 6 games against the rays, 3 games against boston this month, they'll just be falling and falling and falling..... i wonder how all those canadian media people feel now after they projected a world series for this very weak team.
carpenter went back to pitching gems as the cardinals beat the reds. santana pitched very well, but the line-up is missing reyes, beltran and delgado as the mets fall back in the race. haren did a better job than jimenez. the angels outscored the orioles. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* la angels vs texas rangers weaver - millwood the angels have now scored 58 runs in their last 9 games. despite a few hiccups, weaver remains the angels best starter. bet on the la angels *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* |
the angels continue to score in bundles, as weaver gets the 9-4 win.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* tampa bay rays vs toronto blue jays Rzepczynski - shields this series against the rays will be their 4th lost series in a row. the rays are at a whole different level. i believe that the rays will finish in 2nd place in this division ahead of the red sox. it should be enough for a wild card spot. bet on the tampa bay rays *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* |
there's some great value out there this early... its time to jump on some of these prices....
nfl superbowl xliv / conference champion san diego chargers 15.00 / 7.50 chicago bears 21.00 / 11.00 atlanta falcons 26.00 / 13.00 washington redskins 34.00 / 15.00 jacksonville jaguars 34.00 / 17.00 miami dolphins 51.00 / 26.00 |
the jays lost, making them 2-8 over their last 10.
i can't see how the jays can avoid last place in the division this season. the only possibility that the jays have of avoiding last place, is if the orioles go on a run for a higher draft pick. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* tampa bay rays vs toronto blue jays kazmir - tallet you can actually get 1.65 for this tampa bay rays win. could the pitching be more imbalanced. bet on the tampa bay rays *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* |
the rays beat the jays again, as reality sets in even more for toronto blue jay fans.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* tampa bay rays vs toronto blue jays price - halladay halladay's last 3 starts were losses for the blue jays. the jays are 2-5 in halladay's last 7 starts. on the betting side, going against halladay with all these huge prices has paid off pretty nicely. both teams are turf playing teams. only the rays are by far, the best turf team in the major leagues. the rays are also the fastest team in the major leagues. in fact, the tampa bay rays are the fastest team of all time. crawford is like a cheetah. upton just stole home today. he's so fast, that the comentators, prior to upton stealing home, were contemplating wether he'd do it or not. he did it, easily. batting .357, bartlett is also pretty fast. overall, the rays lead the major league with 125 stolen bases. in 2nd place, the very fast angels team with 83. the rays are on pace to demolish the all time stolen bases record for a team. and to think, these guys are still young, and most of them are not yet at their prime. the rays are gonna get better as the years pass. bet on the tampa bay rays *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* san fransisco giants vs san diego padres lincecum - geer playing for the giants this season, lincecum is 9-2, 2.23 era, 1.05 whip, 141 strike-outs in 121 innings. 3 of his last 5 starts have been shut-outs, 2 of them, complete game shut-outs. we are all just sitting back and watching in awe. bet on the san fransisco giants *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* |

i can understand how upset dallas cowboys fans are after they realized that their team sucks, but lj, you want your team to move? sure they're gonna have another bad year, but at least you've got a new stadium to be disapointed in. i say, let them stay in dallas.... its not like the mavs or stars are doing any better. |
the rays, as expected, swept the inferior blue jays.
it was the blue jays 4th loss in a row with halladay starting. 2-6 over his last 8......all 6 losses paid a lot of money, and we've been all over them. lincecum's game is still later on tonight, however, i have not touched it, based on the low 1.15 price. for tommorow friday........... *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* chicago cubs vs st.louis cardinals harden - carpenter having to face harden, carpenter's win has a pretty good price on it. although carpenter has a much tougher line-up to face, he still holds the advantage due to the fact that he's the absolute elite. bet on the st.louis cardinals *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* |
lincecum got the easy win last night.
carpenter got the easy win today. we've won our last 6. we're 12-2 on this page. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* la angels vs ny yankees weaver - pettitte these two teams are of fire, scoring runs in bundles. the difference here is that weaver is pitching at a whole different level. bet on the la angels *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* |
we're up to 7 straight wins now.
13-2 on this page as the angels outscore the yankees 14-8. jered weaver giving up 3 of the earned runs.. the angels are without hunter and guerrero who are both on the dl. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* baltimore orioles vs toronto blue jays bergesen - rzepczynski when the blue jays were in first place in all the major leagues earlier this season, and the canadian media was going on and on about the blue jays pennant race and the world series, i began to make extreme posts regarding the reality behind this very very weak team. posts like this....

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* |
our winning streak continues as the the orioles beat the blue jays again.
so far, this year has been so amazing. if you had told me that we'd have these kind of stats at mid-season, i wouldn't have believed you, but here we are. lets hope that the 2nd half of the season is as good as the first. as far as the all-star game is concerned, i could really go either way. the national league looks like they have a better chance of winning it than recent years. for tommorow's home run derby, i'll be looking at fielder and howard. mauer would be the huge underdog dark horse. |
