[W.HI.P]

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

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[classicman]

I believe the Redwings have gone undefeated at home also -
Game 7... flip a coin. (Go Red Wings)

[W.HI.P]

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

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

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

[classicman]

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.

[monster]

it's my fault the wings lost. sorry.

[W.HI.P]

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

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

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

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

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

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

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

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.

[W.HI.P]

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

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

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

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

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....

based on the above, it would be wise to bet against the jays for the rest of the season, regardless of who's starting.
especially those of you who reside in toronto who happen to always have a better price on the toronto loss than any other place in the world.
torontonians, you are blessed with terrible teams, take advantage of it.

bet on the baltimore orioles
