Hey everyone,

All, right let's get this thing started. I'm optimistic today we make some nice moves to break out of this "1 step forward, 2 steps back" pattern. I've looked at some things and one of my criteria is mired in a mini slump, which is why it hasn't been full steam ahead overall lately. That same criteria went through a similar slump earlier this year that didn't last very long so I am hopeful this one ends soon too.

A couple of other notes...

* I will be gone tonight so I might have to make tonight's plays early.

* The thread titles. I am keeping them simple for now. When I started my threads, my intent with the titles was to make things interesting. Instead, it seems like many of you believe they are portal to my arrogant heart. Most of you actually read what I have to say on a daily basis and know I am not the cocky person I may seem in the thread titles. This is not me, nor the image I am trying to project, so I am returning to the basics. I am just a regular person like all of you who happened to put in a ton of work into a capping system that has proven to be successful. I am proud of it, but I am not some cocky SOB that I am being portrayed to be like some. I want to set this straight today.

But enough small talk and on to some picks. Good luck to all!

How do you feel about Zito and Giants today?
 
Zito can be a fiesty dog at such a high number, i know the Mets are rolling but how good are they really?  Should be interesting.

I liked your titles, I thought they were pretty funny.  Wussieman would also have catchy funny titles (for some reason, no one gave him shit)

Well, there is nothing wrong with the premise of having amusing thread titles but I can see how on some days when I can't think of something witty enough, I settle for a title that might seem condescending. This is what I am trying to avoid. Not married but I am sure I will deal with that at some point.

* No plays on St. Louis/Philly

abaum87 -- Will let you know real soon.

kid-Dynomite -- That's what I'm talking about. Let's do this.

thatsagoodone -- I appreciate that. When I think of something really witty, I will include it in the title.

PS- I always appreciate your optimism and confidence and have not mistaken it for cockiness or arrogance.
There is a big difference in that a cocky and arrogant SOB would not lend nearly as much time as you do to helping others.
Thanks again for the daily threads and good luck today!

Under in the Oakland game today I think that is a solid play and what about the ChC with the wind blowing out looks like a barn burner GL today

You ve done a great job this year, glad to see your through with the extra bullshit that is irrevalent to your solid picks...All you were doing by those dumb headings was giving the idiots on here extra material to polute your thread! Keep up the good work and lets kill the books today!!!

OK guys, quick poll: I like Giants, but I don't know if I should go for the big, risky payout or the once in a year +1.5 runline play that I almost never make .... I guess I will have to decide in about 2 minutes ...

Welcome to the dull and boring Lan thread. Let's keep it this way.
Way too much garbage going on yesterday. On the other side of the Detroit except, playing Minn 1 st 5 innings so, I hope we both win.
 
Good luck today Lan
