Throwing out the cheddar tonight **Diamonds Down South**

YTD Posted Record 14-12 +158 Units   Maybe it was because today started out with a surprise breakfast from my kids before they went off to school, or maybe it was the phone call from my buddy out of town that he scored last night on a 6 team parlay for $1924 after the Oakland/NYY game. Something about today just has a feeling to bring in winners.   I am not sure about anyone else and their habits when wagering, however I am very superstitious and sometimes when it feels right it just does. I like to wear my "lucky" shirt when I like the plays, sit on the same spot on the couch, check the scores only between innings, I think you get the point.   Now tonights picks!   Florida ML-128 5 UNITS Johnson vs Rodriquez-What a great pitching matchup we have here. Typical play would be under 1st 5, but tonight the Marlins bats tee off so I am staying away from that play and rolling with the Fish!   Dbacks/Phillies Over 9 -105 5 UNITS Davis and Blanton toe the rubber for each teams. Both have good stuff and could pitch a great game...not gonna happen! Both teams should score plenty of runs especially with over ump Muchlinski behind the plate!   Atlanta Braves +108 5 UNITS Got to have a dog in the fight on the ticket and the Braves take care of business tonight.    BOL to everyone with their plays tonight!   **Dirty South** ...

Teenage daughters and boyfriends **Diamonds Down South** 8-18

YTD Posted record 11-11 + 49 UNITS     Why is it that when you have a teenage daughter and the new boyfriend comes over he feels the need to want to talk sports with the Daddy? Could it be nerves, manners, or just that he reallly likes my daughter and understands if I don't like him that maybe he might as well pack it in like the Nats chances of a playoff run?   I will give the kid his props though. He does at least follow baseball and yesterday he politely asked if it was ok to sit and watch the Angels game with me since they score alot of runs and are fun to watch. Hmmmm. maybe he caps a litttle on his own? :) After picking his brain a little found out that was'nt the case. However, the last dweeb she dated was not a sports fan at all (hence why he is toast) since this family thrives on sports competition through every arena possible.   Well so far the kid is ok in my book as long as he treats my daughter like a gem, and continues to make good grades in school, and plasters a WR coming across the middle of the field this weekend on opening night in our high school football game . He is the starting free saftey so I expect nothing less....if he wants to come back over. :)   Tonights Picks below!   Phillies ML -166 1 UNIT I know alot of people are waning to fade Pedro in this spot and are thinking the Dbacks will come out on top. Pedro is on the big stage tonight pitching in front of the home crowd. They will be e... [More]

Dog Days of Summer **Diamonds Down South** 8-11

YTD 11-9 +164 UNITS   Summers down south in August can blister your your body as well as your mind! The same can be said about picking winners on the diamonds in August!   Teams that should take care of business (and usually carry a high juice line) tend to fall prey to free-swinging prospects of lesser teams. Mediocre teams tend to play steady with a medium juice line and sometimes you can catch them at + money.   Now I wager on sports based on what I can always afford to lose and cap games for a hobby. Do I claim to be an expert...ummm no. But what I have found out that you can make a small profit at the end of the week and there is a winner in every game. With a little luck you can be on the right side of a 9th inning two run homerun that cashes in! :)   There are alot of great cappers on here and I wish everyone the BOL on all there plays tonight!   Tonights plays Braves TT Over 5 -115 1 UNIT Braves bats should continue to put up runs against Stammen and the Nats bullpen   Milwaukee ML -136 1 UNIT The Brew Crew should right the ship tonight and take care of business.   Kansas City ML 1ST 5 +170 1 UNIT This is not a play off of last nights explosion but more of a play of teh Royals to put up numbers early and hold the lead thru the first 5 innings.   BOL to everyone tonight   **Dirty South**  ...

**Diamonds Down South** 8-7

**Diamonds Down South** 8-3

**Diamonds Down South**

YTD record 5-1 for +4 Units with a clean 3-0 sweep yesterday!
Nats finally pushed across the 5th run I needed for the TT play in the eighth!

Sundays plays are posted and looking to have another great day!

Colorado ML -129 1 UNIT
Like the better pitcher in Marquis and also overall better team. Arroyo can pitch well at times but if he has to turn it over to the bullpen look for Colorado to cash in.

Cleveland ML +117 1 UNIT
Pavano vs Galarraga..Cleveland traded away dome great talent however the last two games they still show they can score. Looking for Pavano to show he still has great stuff like he did a few times this season.

Minnesota TT over 4.5 1 UNIT
Looking for the Twins to reach this TT with Weaver on the hill and an LAA bullpen that gives up a ton of runs.

BOL to everyone and their plays today!

Posting tonight's card! BOL to everyone with your plays!

BoSox ML -119 1 UNIT PLAY
-Smoltz fell victim to the " greatest comeback in Baltimore history" last time he faced them. Got to go with the better team even though they have been struggling at the plate. Getting a low juice line and Guthrie was tagged last time these two teams met.

Detriot ML 1st five -153 1 UNIT PLAY
Clearly a better pitcher on the hill for the Tigers and Carmona tends to give up a ton of runs in early innings. Look for the Tigers to hit Carmona early and also benefit from early inning walks.

Tampa Bay Rays 1st 5 RL -1/2 -145 1 UNIT PLAY
Price should shut down a weak hitting Royals team even though he has been shaky in his last starts. Also this is more of a fade of Ponson with Tampa being at home in the Trop!

BOL to everyone and time to cash in!
