"With plaudits still rolling in for Hondo because of his Belmont Stakes cold trifecta (that he didn’t play), Mr. Aitch sank deeper into the red yesterday when he walked the plank with the Pirates, whose failure in Wrigley caused the debt to grow to 275 sturdivants.
Tonight, he expects Cobb, that cornball, to stop the Sawx – 10 units on the Rays to lump up Lackey. As for the canines, he is whistling for the D’backs over Kershaw and the Native Americans over Lindblom – 10 units apiece."
MONDAY HONDO FADE PLAYS: Boston Red Sox (7:10 PM EST), LA Dodgers (10:10 PM EST) and the Texas Rangers (8:05 PM EST)
