rough night last night... these sweeps are killing me.

Firing back today

1 units:
Washington Nationals +190
T Glavine -L must Start J Williams -R must Start

Chicago Cubs/St Louis Cardinals UNDER 8½ -110
Game C Zambrano -R must Start A Wainwright -R must Start

Good Luck

14-20-4, -4.6 units

1 unit plays:
Colorado Rockies -103
C James -L must Start J Francis -L must Start
The Rockies are hot, at home, and hit good vs. lefties. I have James on 2 fantasy teams, and I'm sitting him in both...

New York Yankees -126
D Matsuzaka -R must Start A Pettitte -L must Start
It's hard to bet into this Yankee losing streak, but they hit Dice-K okay, just saw him last week, and it's his first time pitching in Yankee stadium.

Florida Marlins +153
A Sanchez -R must Start F Garcia -R must Start
Too much value in the fish agianst the overrated Phillies.

Looking at the Pirates, but will probably pass.

Good Luck.

0-5 on Sunday. YTD record 11-18-4, -5.5 units... not a great start to the season.

A Harang -R must Start K Wells -R must Start

Milwaukee Brewers +145

Fantasy baseball: The Yanks have called up their future star pitcher Philip Hughes to pitch in Thursday's game vs Toronto. He's not available in yahoo yet, but he is in most others. I grabbed him at Sportsline today, and IMO he's worth the waiver, especially in keeper leagues.

I might be back with another bet or two later. Good Luck.

It was a beautiful day in the city. So I went out to lunch, had some great humus and a few beers. Did a little shopping. Picked up a Johnny Damon jersey (probably my favorite player), and a new lock for the gym.

Sidenote: I've had Damon in my big money fantasy league for the last 3 years. It's a redraft league, and I swear that I don't target him in drafts or trades, but I always get him. I'm not really sure how it happens.

Then I caught Hot Fuzz with my special lady friend. Those 2 Brits are hilarious and make some good movies.

We get back home, and I turned on the computer to check out the games. That's when the day got ugly. 0-4 before tonight's games. Terrible.

De La Rosa went 8 innings to beat the Twins (after loading the bases in the first with 1 out). The Cubbies lost in extra innings. The White Sox and the under were both winners until Marcus Thames hit a game tying homerun in the 9th with 2 outs. That bomb lost me the under, and the White Sox went on to lose the game in the 12th.

Anyway, with the luck I've been having today, betting on the Red Sox and K-Dice tonight should be a lock :O)

It's a long season, and I don't sweat 1 day's card.

That said, Go Yanks! Go Damon!
