Baseball today 4/25

Made plans to go see Aretha Franklin's "Amazing Grace". Crappy day as Seattle was shutout. Toronto was shutout. Took the Mets "LIVE" in the top of the third, shutout. Yankees losing 5-0 in the bottom of the fifth made it 30 innings without a run!  I had enough of baseball! I have to admit despite the goose eggs for the day, I was totally entertained by Aretha. Live renditions of gospel songs backed up by her band and full choir from 1972. Aretha was AWESOME! Took my mind off the beating I was taking. Left the theater in great spirits. Got home to check if the Yankees were able to score. WOW! they actually won the game 6-5!

1-2  -95  yesterday (Mets LIVE not counted as it was not posted) 

50-53  +40  ytd

Arizona  +115  Yup going for a four game sweep

Miami  +175  Maybe I should take the +1.5 RL

Detroit  +1.5  -110  Red Sox gotta be pissed, being swept in a double header at home no less

Yankees  -110  Yup going for a four game sweep

Crappy card. Gambling today. 0-4 would not be worse than 30 consecutive scoreless innings

Good luck everybody!

Good luck today, man!!   Baseball is such a wild card!  Its been a tough year for picking winners.  Strictly dogs  almost seems like the move in baseball. 

Tin what’s your reasoning behind Detroit if you don’t mind 

With you on Arizona 

Yeah, how was your concert, Tin??  Hope you had a good time, brother!!

I’m shocked to see you on the yanks so much this week.   We’re all surprised about different things, lol.   Shits such a coin flip!

best of luck tonight, gang!!

Horrible day yesterday as well, can't get any worse today which is a win.

I don't subscribe to the anti sweep way of thinking. If it was so, there would never be any winning streaks. I rather be playing on hot teams and playing against cold teams.

why going against hot streaks especially when they are underdog with plus money  

It was a movie from a performance Aretha gave in a church in 1972. It became the best selling gospel album when it was released. It was so good that I caught myself before I stood up to shout "YEAH"! Made me forget about the baseball failing for the day for two hours.

As for the Yankees, with all their injuries, they're still better than the Angels. The prices have been "cheap" enough for me to invest in this series.

Boston is still looking to be the team they are on paper. Both pitchers have been bad this year. But Detroit is 2-1 on the road with Zimmermann on the bump. He has a 3.24 ERA in 16 2/3 IP. Porcello has been bad no matter the venue. I don't like that HP Vanover is 3-1 to the home team this year but beggars can't be choosers. The Tigers are 13-10 (7-5 road) on the RL. Boston: 7-18 (3-6 at home).  I believe they can hang and maybe win the game outright. But give me the +1.5 @ a cheap price.

i like Tigers to win because i believe they are playing better baseball than red sox. They play harder too .... Red sox are still day dreaming thinking invincible.
