Yankees the "square" side today?

PatrickMcIrish · May 29, 2006

I saw myself getting sucked in here and not able to say no. I bet it and almost know it's the wrong side before it's played. Sounds silly but Johnson at + money is hard to resist. I keep thinking he's going to snap out of it and throw a good game soon.

Any opinions?

One thing I will say about Detroit is they have not played a rough schedule to date. Hard for me to say overrated since they have pitched so well and beat everyone they've played, but hard to ignore they have yet to play a single game against the Yanks, the Red Sox or Toronto. They have played the White Sox 3 times and lost all 3. Not saying it means anything or not, but we'll know more in the near future.

Alright, time to go out and get my daily swim over with.

Pat,
I got sucked in as well, but I have a theory about the Yanks on prime time holiday games, that they play better than usual. May be wrong, but I liked getting the +120. Best of luck today.

GL IRISH,

I gave a shout out to you on my thread regarding the Rangers!!

GL with the Yankees. Never though I would ever see RJ +113

pat, i'm square today as well.

I got sucked in as well, Yankees do have a great record in day games this year.

yanks +120 vs. the tigers?

...and that's not a joke?

I took all the early home teams, Detriot, Cleveland, Atlanta.

Color me square too.

Bucs on NYY ML & -1.5

I got sucked in on the Yanks too. It seems that a lot of people did which really scares me

Hard to go against the yanks, but can't think Randy will break out of his slump today. Randy doesn't have the staying power and the month of May has not been good to him. He has not gone past the 6th inning and has given up at at least 5 runs per game.

Looking at taking 1st 5 innings over 5.5 -105.
Game over 10 -105.

Hard to bet against the Tigers this year :realtongu

Insiders · May 29, 2006

BOL to you, as you are not alone there, many on that side.

PatrickMcIrish · May 29, 2006

Wow, lot of guys I don't think are anything close to square like them too, I'm in good company. Maybe we can pull this out. I just remember last time thinking someone shoot me next time I bet on Randy Johnson, LOL.

I got Dodgers and Yankees, two smallish dogs in the early day games, even a split would show a small profit. Rooting for 2-0 though. Let's cash this one guys....

PatrickMcIrish · May 29, 2006

Dodgers up 3-0 in 1st!! Yes! Yankees 0-0 at end of one, at least RJ looked good so far. Hope we get his A game.

Italianole · May 29, 2006

Braves look like horseshit, they seem really tired and disoriented. Sloppy play after sloppy play here in the first inning. Every hit the Dodgers have gotten has been on the ground.

PatrickMcIrish · May 29, 2006

You got the Braves Nole?

Italianole · May 29, 2006

Si senor...Dodgers and Penny a bit banged up and play worse on the road. What I did not factor in was what the game yesterday did to the Braves. I heard before the game started that Chipper and Franceour were throwing up after yesterday's game due to the heat and length of the game and the whole team in general was feeling it. May has been very, very bad to me.

PatrickMcIrish · May 29, 2006

I'm on other side then, don't want you to think I am rubbing it in when I root for the Dodgers.

As for May being bad, I am in same boat as you. Up over 20 units not long ago, yesterday was all the way down to 6. I just can't get anything going these days. Streaky year for me, went 13-1 during one stretch, almost the exact opposite record a week later. I'd much prefer the slow and steady approach to these wild swings I am going through.
