    My hunch play yesterday of Cleveland taking it to Seattle looked like a sure thing in the top of the 9th. , leading 5 to 3 and in comes Baez to ruin my dreams [ to wit ] , and next thing you know a walk off grand salami dumps a 8 to 5 loss in my lap , even though I had a excellent day on the mound yesterday those kinda things makes one want to throw-up and solidifies the addage " Ya never Know "


    Moving on [ after spilt milk ] seems to be whats needed after a very good 12 and 2 day on the Diamond [ split my overs , was actually 13 and 3 ] and also sticking to baseball , lets take a gander at my outlook for todays shots ;

    Cubs - Wood 3 - 0 3.12 seems to have it going his way [ 29 wiffs in 3 games ]

    Montreal - Hernandez 1 - 0 4.24 [slight fav.]

    White Sox - Colon 2 - 0 3.21 , this is a tight one with Jason Johnson opposing 2 - 0 2.89 , but his 2-3 + 8.10 lifetime against the sox sways me

    Phillies - Myers 0 - 2 3.32 has really pitched well and will finally get his just due !

    Marlins - Pavano 2 - 2 4.01 , has won two straight and is showing sings of improvement

    Giants - Rueter 2 - 0 2.74

    St Louis - Morris 1 - 1 2.43 starting to heat-up after very bad support !

    Astros - Oswalt 2 - 1 3.71 [very best] owns a 0.66 ERA against the Mets , lifetime !

    L.A. - Dreifort 1 - 1 3.79 gets the nod

    Blue Jays - Hendrickson 1 - 2 6.97 , but wait a minute his match-up Joe Kennedy 1 - 1 4.73 , has opponets hitting .336 against him

    Boston - Wakefield 2 - 0 4.05 , here comes the knukleballs folks

    Minn. - Radke 1 - 2 7.84 , just feel its about time ?

    Cleveland - Rodriguez 2 - 0 2.08 , 8 walks in 26 innings and they are hitting .216 against him vs. Meche 1 - 1 4.86 last outing 6 innings , no walks , 1 unearned against the A`s ,,,,, not touching this one !

    Oakland - Zito 3 - 1 3.00 = a no brainer [big fav.]

    Yankees - Clemens 3 - 0 2.08 if it aint broke " dont fix it "

    O.K. I`m a bit weak also leaning towards the following NBA`s

    Magic + 5.5 o/183.5

    Portland + 6 o/192.5

      Thanks Guy

      And am I missing something here or did the odds maker have to much to drink last night ?

      St. Louis + 112 @ Atlanta


      Morris vs. Maddux

      Strange line here as my estimates show thier formulas way off base and "strong" indications that the wrong team is favored here.

      Morris is a solid 2.43 ERA (season) and a bell ringing 1.19 ERA the last 3 . Hes given only 3 earned in 19 innings.

      Maddux is a 7.52 ERA (season) and a 5.71 in his last 3. He is a location man (one of the best) and struggling , hes off his mark and never did have the hard stuff to hide his down days. "Big Problem vs. St Louis"

      St. Louis is a NL leading .292 BA , plus on the road they are better at .299 BA overall

      Atlanta is a respectable .273 BA , but at Turner Field a hoorid .258 BA

      St Louis bullpen is a full run lower ERA

      In my book the Cards hold all the "cards" here and at +112 a big go !

        Adding a o/u

        For reasons that are of sound judgement I will also lay a bit on the under / 9.5 on the Ari. vs. Monteal game , both clubs in the bottom 1/3 of the lumber department ( Ari. is a bottom dweller) and both clubs have enough arm on the mound to shut down weak hitting clubs !

          13-3 to 7-11

          The Lord giveth , and he taketh to !

          About the biggest night of slop baseball to date this season , the dogs where out in grand fashion ! To call some of them mild is O.K. but there where also some huge ones mixed in this day of doom !

          Bedtime here

          Always another day , and for that I am thankful !
