Saturday's Spectacular Specials...Starting............NOW

I like Indiana better simply because Sacramento sucks and Atlanta is kinda good. Still not sure on the line drop. at -8(7.5 at 5Dimes ) now. But I don't see that as too much of a problem. The 1 thing I've learned about WNBA is don't trust line movements. They're kinda meaningless. I'll still hold off until I see if there are any injuries.

Wouldn't the over seem better than?

And yes...Contreras is pitching...it's official.

Jose Contreras will return to the White Sox' starting rotation Saturday with a start against the Yankees.

The Dodgers just are not right right now......Reds are actually winning right now and I dont know if you want to jump in front of that train right now......

The only devils advocate I can play on that Tigers/Rays over is that everybody and their mother will be all over that Over.....I personally dont see how that one does not sail over......Day Game......Means somehow it will probably go under....I wouldnt touch the under though

Wagner only being able to pitch every 3 days is not going to get him into the closers role any time soon....Papelbon doesnt have anything to worry about...Even if he becomes Brad Lidge

Supposedly he is only going to be coming out of the bullpen when he first gets there.....But with the way Trevor Bell is pitching........

Yea man I know that they took 2 straight from the Rox but the Dodgers have just not been playing the same kind of ball that they were playing. They are not hitting real well and their pitching is shot. Randy Wolf is their ace right now  .

I see the exact type of Detroit game tomorrow...It will either be a 9-6 game or either a 5-2 game. My guess is the latter.

I heard something about on the radio that his agent said he was only going to be able to pitch every 3 days....True...Papelbon has been getting the job done but is putting himself in trouble. His velocity is back up so I really dont know what is going on with him.

I thought Kershaw was their ace. He's not pitching bad. Anyway...hitting in Cincy may help them. Facing Maloney may also help them. I'll risk it. I wonder if that "every 3 days" type of "Joba Rule" will be waived come playoff time . Papelbon is a headcase. He's not worse than K-Rod or Valverde, but he's pretty bad. He's turning into Joba bad(did I just have 2 Joba references? ). Getting himself into jams, getting out of them and getting all pumped up. But I guess the important thing is that he's getting out of them. I'm so hoping for a 2003 rematch(not 2004...that one wasn't as good. 2003 was evenly matched, 2004 was just a collapse).

Thats insane about Kazmir. I think they'll change their mind after 1 more Bell start. I know they won't put O'Sullivan back in there...he's no better. And Kazmir won't help in the bullpen because he'll just have to be stretched out and won't be strong for the postseason.

I am pretty sure it was his agent that said that he could only pitch every 3 days.....Coming off of TJ surgery cant be very easy. Dont want to come back too fast.

Papelbon is reminding me of Dice-K.....Joba and Pap do like to throw a lot of pitches though.

I prefer the 2004 matchup....But I dont want to be down 0-3 again....But if the end result is the same then that is fine.....But Beckett better wake his ass up or the Bosox wont be going anywhere....Big series coming up in Tampa....We will probably get swept at the Trop as we just cant beat them there anymore....So the race is about to get interesting.

Yea I couldnt believe that when I read it on Kazmir.....No way they throw him in the bullpen with all that shit they like to throw out there in the starting rotation....I wonder why Matt Palmer isnt starting instead of Bell. Dont make much sense to me.

Yea...but the Sox must have known this when getting Wagner and no way they'd get him if he could only pitch every 3 days while in the playoffs. How about the Yankees claiming Chris Carter though? Trying to piss off the Red Sox and their subway rivals at the same time.  Poor Mets...now they'll have to wait until next season to see how he does on the field.

And yea...you want the outcome of the 2004 series. The 2003 one was a lot more exciting because it was back and fourth and Game 7 went extra innings. That was the battle of the best for sure. And I don't know how the Yanks can handle the Rays, the Rays can handle the Sox, the Sox can handle the Angels and the Rangers can handle the Angels as well. It makes no sense but thats baseball for ya.

And Kazmir wont be in the pen long. I certainly can't see it. He's been pitching so well too, I'd be surprised if he doesn't start in Bell's turn next time around.

Orioles.
