Sunday's Play--Let's Keep It Going !!

won with my "I Like It ALOT" play yesterday on over in the Astros/Brewers, an easy winner. Now 9-5 for the year on those plays. Been cruising along pretty well for awhile now, so hopefully it continues today.

Sunday's play is the Diamondbacks -120 to the Nats. Here's why:

First of all, I am well aware that the Nats have won 7 in a row. I generally do not like playing against a hot team, but I do think that talent levels eventually even out. In other words--shitty teams are still shitty teams, and even though they may go on a run, eventually they fall back to mediocrity. That happens today with the Nats.

The Nats start J.D. Martin. The J.D. should stand for "Just Don't". On the year he is 0-2 with a 1.71 WHIP, a 7.16 ERA and a .329 batting average against. At home this year his ERA is 6.97 and his batting average against is .364. The D'backs will crush him like a gnat today.

Meanwhile the D'backs start Yusmeiro Petit. Seemingly lousy numbers for sure. He is 2-5 on the year with a 5.81 ERA, a 1.47 WHIP and a .262 batting average against. But all his lousy starts have been at home ! On the road this year he is 1-1 with a 3.68 ERA and a .163 batting average against. Since the All-Star break he is wheelin' and dealin', going 2-2, but with a 2.96 ERA and a .187 batting average against. In his last 2 starts, he allowed only 5 hits in 14 innings pitched. Petit comes up large for us today.

Sunday's play is the Diamondbacks at -120.


FWIW--these are not official plays, but I also am taking a shot on the Orioles with the Matusz kid again (at +220); the Twins with Baker who has been lights out lately (at +115); and the Pirates with Duke (at +150) because as we all know by now, the Cards suck dick against lefties.

Seth: Fogell, this ID says that you're 25 years old. Why wouldn't you just put 21, man?
Fogell: Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called f*cking strategy, alright?

How can they be not official plays if your playing on them & letting the mallers know so.Rather or not they aren't your strongest plays such as your Arizona play if ya post them then they will count for or against you (IMO). I feel that if they lose you don't want to hear the redicual but if they win then you will take in the glory/credit if they hit (if the mallers do so).Don't set yourself up.. Whats your definition on not official? J/C

Mick--I was just telling people that those were some of the other plays I like today. That's all. Am I personally playing them ? Yes I am. But whether they win or lose, the only play that counts for recordkeeping purposes here at CM is the D'backs. Which is why THAT is the official play.
