UNCLE STEVE's wild & not funny MLB FRIDAY PIX plus choice of sides (with juice)

36-20 W-L straight up going into THURSDAY = here's recap of <sorta> sad evening, gonna have a few of these =

Thursday MLB selections:

***** TEX (PADILLA) +1.5 runs = LOSS (White Sox score 3 runs in 8th inning to cement win over Rangers) blah bullpen junk
**** CINN (ARROYO) -157 = LOSS (Ol' Arroyo is really having a slow start, but Cincy lost it in the 8th, gave up 5 runs) again, late stuff . . .
**** FLORIDA (HURK) +133 = LOSS (just a bad pick, same goes for the +1.5)
** FLORIDA (HURK) +1.5 runs = LOSS

0-4 for nite, not good, BUT, overall still up top.
ope:

----------------------------------------------------------

36-24 going into FRIDAY = FRIDAY selections are cool, I'm going out a bit farther tonight for more apples than usual:

***** CUBS (LILLY) -138 always chancy with Cubs day games, but they can get there today
***** PHIL (LEIBER) +115 Phillies get rolling, back upright today
**** NY METS (PELFREY) -103 no bats in my pelfrey, they roll with bats of their own today
**** LAD (-1.5 runs) +120 don't cry Wolf, cry big bad Wolf
**** CHISOX (DANKS) EVEN - it is Danks and Jenks, not Janks and Denks
**** YANKS (PETTITTE) +104 yanks are ripping the ball
*** BALT (CABRERA) -125 good spot here for O's
*** OAK +1.5 runs - texas hasn't found any groove yet, struggling
*** ANGELS (SAUNDERS) -143 anaheimers good at home, Saunders getting some line support.
** COLORADO (FOGG) +102 - don't be in a fog and take the wrong side, rocky mountain high is foggy. go fogg yourself. Foggetaboutit.

BOL, gonna be fun tonight = tear 'em up.

*Elvis1 = torn between two plays, so like PHIL & CHISOX, well shall see.

Here is FRIDAY Nites RECAP of my plays/picks =

36-24 going into FRIDAY's action ====

***** CUBS (LILLY) -138 = LOSS (I played LILLY first 5 and won 1-0 = there is something better about this method, play best pitcher FIRST 5 INNINGS! He was -140 on that line.

***** PHIL (LEIBER) +115 = LOSS 2-1 (10 innings) Once again, won with LEIBER on first 5 innings play. Hmmmm)

**** NY METS (PELFREY) -103 = LOSS (Mets just got beat early, bad play)

**** LAD (-1.5 runs) +120 = WINNER - dodgers easily, 10-2, big, bad WOLF

**** CHISOX (DANKS) EVEN = WINNER 5-4

**** YANKS (PETTITTE) +104 = LOSS (Once again, Pettitte a winner for first 5 innings . . .)

*** BALT (CABRERA) -125 = WINNER

*** OAK +1.5 runs = WINNER A's dESTroY! Texas - since it's my local team, i'll tell you this = something is wrong with management at this club = and it begins in the dugout, manager might be a BAD fit, not kidding. Fade these guys until changes are made, they are all OVER the place)

*** ANGELS (SAUNDERS) -143 = WINNER 8-4, easy. Saunders had some ML support mid-day, that was fairly noticeable, to me, anyways.

** COLORADO (FOGG) +102 = LOSS shoulda keep my 2 units, but I thought Rockies might be able to get out of the Foggy Mountain Breakdown.

5 - 5 straight-up for the evening, tho actually came out on TOP with three FIRST 5 INNING pitcher plays. These are becoming attractive to me = mostly eliminates that bullpen/closer garbage we all love so well. Unit-wise, let's see =

-4 units for the evening, if you use units as $ counters.

41 - 29 ytd (straight-up W-L)

Back later for sat selections = remember, this is only what I am doing, not suggesting action for anyone else. GL.

US (in the land of plenty) ****really like the 5 inning deal. Much better for this sport.
