The best thing about the baseball playoffs is that you only have a few games to look at, so it doesn't take hours every day.

Cards +137
Dodgers +139
Yankees -1.5 -111

Will Detroit be motivated by the rain delay controversy or will it mess with their heads and get blown out?

i think it wont have any effect on the game. Its not like anyone died, it just rained.

Carl-what's ur take on the Dodgers? Glavine v Kuo is almost a wash w/ Glavine having a slightly better hand I'd say overall (last few games are close but his season #'s are definitely far better than Kuo), bullpens are again almost identical w. exception of the last few games the Mets have played their ERA is higher than LA. Homefield goes to Mets.....so what's ur pull to LA? Just curious to hear what your take is.

I may be wrong, but I think Glavine's arm is more toasted than they are saying. Consider this a 50/50 game and like getting the juice for value sake. Dodgers played them tight the last game, so I did not see Mets as that superior and usually will take the money if I can get it in a game like this.

That is interesting, a homer ump. Do you think he feels the pressure from the crowd, or just wants to be loved? Maybe it is an aberration.
