Kershaw sucks! Not only do I get screwed on Over picks but now in a game between 2 pitchers who have eras under 2 against the opponent one of the pitchers gives up 4 runs and 7 hits in the 3rd+4th innings including a hit to the opposing pitcher to start the meltdown. The 3rd inning had minimal damage but the 4th inning killed this pick. It's now 4-1 after 5 and there is no way with the way that Kershaw is pitching that there aren't 2 more runs scored in this game.For now on if I see 6, 6.5 or 7  totals I'm either taking Over or no pick.

Becareful what you (or I) wish for, game falls to -130 I pick Under 6 and the Game scores 7+ runs even though the preview pointed to an under.

13 runs, 10 more than what I expected. I even lost on Junk for the Cash with the Angels, Dodgers and Bulls and won with the Canucks. What does that tell you? I now have 4 accounts on espn and I'm officially ineligible to win. But lets face it I'm never going to win when my best streak is 1/4 the size of the winner. I would prefer to be ineligible and get on the leaderboard then be eligible and never reach the leaderboard (except possibly the loss board). With espn no longer giving shirts for W13 (which i of course haven't reached) there is no reason to follow their rules as there is no reward for it. When I started palying SFTC back in September '08 I never expected to win but I did expect to reach the winning leaderboards (and still do)! I will be happier if I reach those leaderboards (even by cheating), that's what counts!

With that being said I'm still following the rules with one account on covers.com, mlb.com and foxsports.com. I have lost respect for espn they have taken games off the board (including 3 lacrosse picks last Sunday) and rigged many other matchups. In addition they have blocked me 5 times for garbage reasons. In addition 7 of the 9 espn zones have closed and due to the bad economy and while espn did not cause that, bad karma has shut them down.
The only thing I liked better about ESPN Zone was the many TVs including in the restrooms.
Let's hope that never happens with Dave and Busters!

9-1-2 for the month and got my W8 last night when the Brewers game went over.  Have no idea about today...maybe the over in the Brewers game again, or over 200 for the Mavs, but I don't know...

And Quad, ESPN does suck, I've been blocked for weeks now from posting for no reason whatsoever...

What you have to do is email them and they will reinstate you. You must have said something that offended somebody. They're very touchy over there. I have been suspended twice for odd reasons. Last year there was a big controversy bec the SM was inconsistent in his application on what games get cancelled. My point was at least if you're consistent with whatever rules you want to apply people wouldn't be so mad. Especially when it was his mistake. I was being nice others weren't being so nice. Well I guess he was super sensitive and I was suspended. Only after I called and emailed him an apology for hurting his feelings did I get reinstated. I wont bore you with the other story. But the SM's over there are complete quacks.

Those bums seem to have a goal to block a certain number of accounts per month and per year. That must explain why they continuously block people. My brother's account is not only blocked but the reinstatement screen doesn't appear. If you try posting on his account, the message boards disappear altogether and don't reappear until I logged off his account. And once again he hardly even posts, did nothing and gets the ultimate ban. ESPN cheats us so it's only fair to cheat them back and I'm someone who doesn't believe in cheating!chEeatSPN

BTW AgentCooper I like Over 6.5 in both the Brewers/Padres and Giants/Dodgers games but I like the Dodgers to win even better with Billingsley. Dodgers -119 Preview

Streak wise I'm going with the White Sox. Money wise I bet on those bums the Dodgers. The team they can't make their payroll this month. Amazing. I don't like the Dodgers but McCourt has taken a world class franchise ran for over 60 years by the O'Malley family and turned into a welfare case for MLB. McCourt is slimey. But I will take them tonight with Billingsley on the mound. Best of luck to the 25 Dime Club!

SCREW the Heat, SCREW the zig-zag theory and SCREW following up a streak busting loss with another loss!!! Tonight I will be backing the Dallas Mavericks at the new low price of -5 ATS. The Mavericks have now covered the spread in their last 15 games played and Dirk Nowitzki is a man on a MISSION!!! Nowitzki scored 46 points despite taking shooting only 15 times from floor. He was a PERFECT 24-24 from the free throw line( a new NBA playoff record) and he hit 12 of 15 from the field. The Thunder will have no answer for him tonight and will be shredded by the deeper and more experienced Mavericks. They hear the call of father time  and will show no mercy, knowing that this may be their last shot at a title with their current lineup.DALLAS MAVERICKS -5 It is time to get back on that untamed horse!  BOLA!!!
