The best thing about sports is that its not always about the best team, talent, or history, but the EMOTION of the game. I froth at the mouth when there are certain emotional elements featured in a game. The death of an owner or family member of a key player. Birthdays, coach's first game, revenge, honoring someone special related to the team, etc. Emotion is huge in games and some of my biggest bets ive ever hit were based off emotion.
1) Favre winning vs Oak after father dying
2) NYG winning after owner Mora passed
3) Although I lost my ass on the miserable Redskins who are a cursed team, anyways. When Sean Taylor died I nailed them at home vs Buffalo and lost big.
Although 80% of the time Ive hit the big emotional games and love those angles!
Yanks are going to win it for CC tonight. LOCK IT IN!!!!

Wow. uhh are you really trying to compare a regulard season baseball game vs the game after Favre lost his dad?
Also comparing NFL and MLB is a bad idea.
Lastly, The Rays started this series only a handful of games behind the Yanks. If they were to get swept in this series, it would really hurt their playoff chances. So if you want to talk about "emotion" which is pretty irrelevant in regular season of an sport. (I'm more concerned about who got a good night sleep last night in their hotel room, and who was out partying) The emotion is on the side of the Rays, not the Yanks playing just another regular season game, after they already have this series locked up 2-0.

Never am I comparing football to MLB, but saying EMOTION is involved in the game tonight. You expel more to try to win for him on his special day. Emotion is a Emotion. You try extra hard to win for a captain when he is going for hit #3000. You try extra hard when your qb's pop passes away. You try extra hard when your ace is pitching on his bday. Im comparing emotional trends. You play with extra UUMPH when you got things like these tied into the game. Capiche?
Tampa is COOKED. After sox won the game in 16th it broke their backs and demoralized them and their chances of seeing October!!

Why the marlins were the pick for most of you today is beyond me, they started out as a first glance lean for me, stats quickly pushed me the other way. Fish could still win though its only the 2nd plus there was a long delay, most likely new pitchers coming out here. Fish bullpen was taxed yesterday so who knows who they'll bring in.

My buddy had the bell boy pull the fire alarm at 4:30AM in the Yankees hotel if that helps. only kidding of course. I heard this tactic has been used in the past.

I literally jumped out of my chair while on the phone when I saw that leave the park, thought that bet was dead. Love the comeback after fister basically effed himself at least he gets a no decision.
