MLB Saturday 4/28

[Stifler's Mom]

ytd 99-107 (-10.69 units)

One of these days the late inning losses by teams who had led the entire game will hopefully stop. Between Detroit and San Diego (2 teams you DON'T expect to blow a pair of 2 run leads late, I lost 9.08 units alone on those 2 games)

For today:

Texas Rangers +115

I believe sharp money already hit this line hard, and anytime I can get Millwood vs Chacin at this price, with a really suspect bullpen backing Chacin, who never seems to go more than 5 or 6 at the most, I'll give it a shot. Who knows what to expect out of either offense here, but I believe Texas has the pitching advantage....

Cleveland Indians -129

O's on the road vs a tough lefty, 2 spots where I've faded them in the past with much success. Bedard blows this year.

2 units each

I got these both now because I believe both are horrible lines and will both move against me if i wait.

That line has come down over 30 cents at some books with the public pretty strongly on the Jays. The best I see now anymore is +108 (Pinnacle) and Olympic has gone all the way to TEX -105.

What's funny is that Millwood has a bad career record vs TOR and Chacin good vs TEX, but those were previous teams, as he didn't even face TEX last year. IMO stats lie, and Chacin/Jays pen is ripe for a shelling this afternoon. Texas is starting to hit (it was only a matter of time), and the Jays have squat in the bullpen.

My bet isn't based on Millwood being some kind of lights out stud, but rather on the entire Texas team. I'd take 6 or 7 IP from Millwood with about 3 or 4 ER, because IMO that should be plenty to get it done today. Can't see Texas scoring less than 4, and if it goes to the pens, Texas has a huge advantage IMHO.

Hank the loser Blaylock makes me wanna

1 good year, and now he'll play lackluster baseball and be overpaid till he's 40...

Pittsburgh Pirates -145
Philadelphia Phillies -109
Colorado Rockies +111
Arizona Diamondbacks +115

2 units each

Still having a real hard time pulling the trigger on KC on the road and not getting + money to do it. My problem is that while they do seem to have a huge pitching advantage, they still suck on the road, and Seattle has heated up the last few days. KC should be +115 or +120 in this game really, so I don't like the value of the pick at -105 or even +100.

Also was originally looking at the White Sox, but it looks like a sucker bet to me....even though Anaheim has only 1 road win, and Weaver did his best immitation of his brother last time he pitched, lol

texas won for us.......both those pens are ****holes

[Stifler's Mom]

LOL, i can't disagree, although Toronto's is worse right now IMO.

Texas would have won in 9 if not for the error by Blalock, and the 10th would have been less exciting if not for the error by Young.

The main problem for Texas was that they let guys in too long today. They let Millwood in after he started to get hit, and tried to squeeze the extra inning out of Eyre and he gave up the 2 run homer in the 8th. Just my opinion, but better pitching management may have made that game a little less interesting, LOL

At least it won

Well, I'm not sure of your point, since all I did was say that Hank Blalock is a loser, which he is, but I didn't have to go back too far to find these:

"I can't begin to vent how much I hate this Cards team. Will be the LAST time I ever consider betting on this ******* disgrace of a baseball team."

As compared to just calling a guy a loser?

"Yea tell me about it, the bullpen for about 3 different teams in the last week ruined my whole season and I can't afford to gamble for a while."

Never once have I said my whole season was ruined. Why do you still hang around and bet if your entire season is shot to hell already in the first month?

"I am going to **** in Todd Jones's mouth, and he was in the Bottom of the 10th inning why?"

Really?

"Um had the lead twice in this game and their bullpen just gave up a grand slam, is this really happening? I just lost everything I made this season and more on this Yankees team over the last 4 games. Well I am done for good, Good Luck to all you."

Again, if betting is this frustrating to you that a few losses ruins your whole season, it sounds to me like you should take a break from it.

I know there has been plenty more, but I didn't need to even go past the first search page to find these gems. And yea, I like to voice my opinion when I think someone sucks, but I'm certainly not sitting here breaking **** in my house or planning to **** in someone's mouth, lol. Maybe you should think before opening your mouth and putting your foot directly in it.

lol, o man. I am seriously laughing here.....going through trying to find posts where I bitched on a Saturday, don't know really what to say other than you must live on this site. GL to you Stiff, seems like you need it lately.

Dude, it takes like 2 minutes to do a search and quote your bull****.

And now i need luck because i'm down a measly 10 units in baseball to start the season? Dude, or should i say, newbie....get a clue.

I think the 100 units i won on NFL and 30+ i made on NHL this year can absorb it, LOL

Oh yea, not to mention the 42.85 units I'm ahead following the MLB road system and 8.50 i'm ahead playing a system on the NHL playoffs.

Not trying to brag (anyone who's been here longer than a month knows I'd be the last person to do that), but really, I'm guessing losing 10 units to start a season isn't a major concern to my bankroll.

Besides, like i said, i'm not the one flipping out like a 10 year old and threatening to **** down people's necks when i lose, LMFAO

Just do me, and yourself, a favor and stay out of my threads

[Dutch Goose]

You got it Bud!, lol.
