Hondo
Hondo's respite from the "L" train didn't last long as last night's losses with the Blue Jays and Reds dwarfed his victory with the Dodgers and expanded the deficit to a stinky 1,490 stankiewiczes.
Tonight, he can't pass up the huge Yankee odds -- 10 units on Vazquez. Also, 10 on Billingsley (Chad, not Barbara) to outduel Roy Harvey Oswalt.
