Chicago

What's good, guys? How's everybody doing? There's some nice value out there if Jimmy doesn't win. It looks like this week may start to look different than what we've been seeing. Gibbs & Childress look like they're both struggling. Stewart looks strong, and the Ford's look strong. It should make for an interesting race tonight. It'll be nice to see some new players up there. I haven't decided exactly who I'm playing yet...hoping to pick some brains here. I'm almost positive I'll be going against everything I've been saying, and I'm going to lay some coin on the idiot Montoya. I'm sure he'll fuck it up somehow, but if they're going to give me 22-1 on a car that was dominant in practice, and that's starting up front, I have to bite. I'm sure I'll bite on McMurray too at 20-1. Besides them, I'm stuck between Gordon, Stewart, & Biffle. My head says Stewart, my gut says Gordon, and Biffle has the best value. Tough call, but If I'm going against my usual rules with Montoya, I might as well take Gordon, who's also always on my "do not bet" list. So I guess I'm leaning Montoya, McMurray, & Gordon. Any opinions will definately be appreciated, though. What's everyone thinking?

Thanks, Shooter. I got sidetracked after I posted this morning. Just got back in. The more I thought about it, I decided to play Jimmy, even at the horrible price. I figure it's his race to lose again, and my other choices have nice, long odds, so I don't have to lay much on them.  Time to hit the bottle of Hennessy. Best of luck ladies.
