NEVER GIVE UP on Phil's awfulness!!! Even if he looks non-terrible early on... it will come.Operation FADE SHITTY PHIL HUGHES is in effect tonight.
Of course, he looks like Tom Seaver because the Jays are all bundled up. Evidently, they no likey the cold!
Probably best if someone calls in and says their average bet size is a little smaller, so as to get a cheaper weekly package. I told him my bets ranged from 50-100.
I will throw in some loot, but I called one of those ma-effers about 10 years ago and my phone got blew up with touts for 5 years after that.
Their SP has really taken a hit the last couple years, although I think that Trumbo trade for Skaggs and Santiago will stabilize things. CJ Wilson's also taken a huge step forward this year, it looks like. But those Hamilton and Pujols deals are going to hang heavy for a long time.

Lindy Ruff has a coaching record of 14-4 in the first game of a playoff series. I think I'm going to be on Dallas here.
While agree they rather face the Raptors than the Bulls. If the Bulls win this evening and the Raptors lose and the Nets lose then the Nets would still end up with the Bulls, unless the Wizards choke against the Celtics tonight.
Maybe the nets will be watching the bulls scoreboard but that raps game is also a 8pm tip. Think the raps will be trying to lose too?
To be honest I have no clue. The East is such a mess right now and the only seeds that are set are Indy-1, Mia-2 and Atl-8. Seeds 3-7 can all change depending on the outcome of the games this evening.
I am on the opposite here with the Cubs +1.5 -105 in Game 1. Hammel pitched well against the Yanks last year so I will take the run and pray the Cubs don't get Tanaka'd.
I look at this data and think completely opposite. I see Oakland 7-1 SU away and think they're (over)due to lose. They'll likely play .500 away the rest of the year at best. The Angels are 2-6 at home, sounds like they should go 7-3 over their next 10. Milone is 3-0 lifetime in Anaheim, seems unlikely he stays perfect on the road against a decent team. Skaggs gave up 9 hits and 4 ER over 7 last start, I like the youngster, seems more likely to give up 2-3 than 4-5. I guess in a nutshell this is all just "reversion to the mean" thinking and your thought process is "follow the trend (and Coco Crispy)". Obviously there are a ton of other things to look at outside of laws of averages and trends, but it's interesting that we look at the exact same data and feel completely opposite about the possible outcome.ChainsawU, on 16 Apr 2014 - 1:43 PM, said:SDQL Alert: Since 2011 the A's are 5-3 SU away after an extra inning win away. Average runs scored: 6.5 ±2.2. And tonight's team total told me exactly what I wanted to know, especially with their BA (.165) and BABIP (.176) versus LHP this season - which is "atrocious" according to Daily Notes - who fail to mention they have only faced two leftys this season, who they beat.
But that is the case, and I think that is why they got lined at this number. And I'll take it. The A's are 10-4 SU on the season. Two of the three starting pitchers they lost to were Felix Hernandez (2x), and Justin Masterson. Their other loss was to Zach McAllister, but I think they can handle the rookie, plus they are 7-1 SU away.
The Angels are 2-6 at home. Milone is actually 3-0 lifetime in three starts at Anaheim (15.1 IP, 4.70 ERA). He got his first start of the season out of the way on Friday and is on his ideal four days of rest. I backed Skaggs in his last start versus the Mets, who were last in BA, OBP, and K rate at the time. They put up 9H and 4ER on him in 7.0 innings. All this plus the A’s might get Crisp back tonight, who is questionable. I wanted to get in before he is listed in the lineup.
Athletics 200/212
Athletics o4 100/105
There are so many moving parts in order for the outcome of the Nets game to benefit them (you mentioned 3 above that must go their way -Bulls/Raps/Bullets), I just don't see them purposefully trying to win. Typically I would be watching this game with full attention but these jackasses in this thread have got me interested in skaters on ice so i'll be watching NHL playoffs tonight.
Well I am pretty sure watching the NHL tonight will be a easier on your eyes. This coming from someone who watched most of the Nets/Knicks game last night cause I bet on the Knicks TT Over last night.
Sometimes its better to take the first inning winner as a tie. Sea/Tex -160 at SB.
on both as well
