WOW, bombs dey be a dropping, LOL. OK, let me start with Sunny Grrrrl....I thought about that after I put that post up, but you're assuming Niese is gonna give it up as well. Yep, bad outing back in May against the Buckos, but that, in baseball years, was a very long time ago. I like the Rays tonight, liked them last night but backed off. We're, or rather, I'm playing the Brewers in the par, that's one of my plays, so the Fanatics are waving good-bye to our bus. DD, I'm scratching my ass over that LAA game, it falls perfectly into one of Greenback's "public all over team A but line is moving like a freight train in favor of team B." The only thing I could find there is Shoemaker has fared well against KC, so we're gonna throw a little craps tonight with that one. BossMan, love that total, sent you a PM, Rockies over?? maybe.

I got happy feet with that one and the Cubbies game, stayed away from both but I got your Mia/Stl total. Here we go, DD, don't shit your pants, my gut tells me Halos, but my brain said when in doubt, play the total. If the Halos pull it off, it's an easy under, so that's what we got. Ticket tonight:

Another day of juggling too many balls, but thought we ought to give it a whirl. Tomorrow is gonna be next to impossible for me since most games are afternoon and I got more irons in the fire. Let's see how this one works out for us.
~T~
Got them written down with a "?" by them, along with Seattle and Milw. Heaney is a beast at home, much better in the home park than on the road, so I'm inclined to throw them in the mix. I lost last time I bet him, but that was the game against the Palehose in Chicago. Don't know I'd like to hit them at -1 though, which is what I look to do from now till the playoffs, betting favs -1 or full RL.
~T~
OK, split hairs with a few plays here, e.g. DD, played Seattle RL +1+, lol, hedged my friend, just trying to get us off on the right foot. I'm probably gonna regret it, watching the line move, but Sunny Grrrrrrl, I'd been thinking Indians all day, sticking to my guns. Something about that Milw game scares me, the part about the Brew Crew batting the worst against lefties in the league, a paltry .211. So I could live without that one. Here's the ticket, get the prayer beads out:

Nothing against TITS, but should have overridden the Pirates play and left it out. Cole hasn't been Cole last four outings and I had a bad feeling about that game, just like I nixed the Milwaukee play because of bad lefty pitcher batting. Damn it! Houston has a ways to go, Pitt down to 3 innings of O.
