What on earth is going on? the game is in the 6th inning and there is only 1 run on the board. I thought Vazquez and Garland are the pitchers? Garland has been pitching poorly and we know what Vazquez is capable of so start scoring! I'm so sick of these totals not winning, I can not get 2 totals picks in a row correct. Score some runs or else the following will occur!

I can tell you what's going on. It's called the Boomerang hate principle. It's goes like this. The teams and players you hate are for 2 reasons. #1 They play for one of your rivals so you hate them. #2 The reason you hate them is that when you bet on them they lose (Dodgers) and when you bet against them they win (Vasquez) The Boomerang hate principle.

Why oh why did I fall for picking another Dodger game?
Thank u smooth fro reminding me, I deserve another on my streak for making this awful pick. After the 2 recent failures that happened just over a week ago how could I pick another game with this team in it? This lapse may cost me my 3-0 record with Sweetie!

The Dodgers win 3-2 and have officially given me the quad-fecta cycle of losses.
Pick against: I took the Braves to beat the Dodgers back on April 20 and lost 6-1.
Picked the Under: I took the Giants @ Dodgers to go Under 6 on May 18 and there were 13 combined runs.
Picked for: On the 19th I took the Dodgers to win against the Giants and they lost 3-1 to an 0-6 Bumgardner.
Picked the Over: And tonight I took the Over 7.5 with Javier Vazquez and Jon Garland and the game ends up with only 5 runs.

NO MORE BUM-DODGER GAMES!

All is right with the world as Florida is beating LA 6-1 in the 8th! I'm feeling confident that the no payroll Dodgers will die like the bums they are. Lay down LA and do what you do best!

Missed you guys the last few days. Im back to keep my  going. I gotta hard lean to the PHI Phillies -114 fa W4 on Sunday. As usual the consensus on SFTC is 94%  Anyway, on a sad note my BTS streak of 14 came to an end other day on account of the reliable... NOT! Ichiro vs the Twins went 0-4     Currently got a W3 every since that BS tho. Smoothd, Quad, bama, and raider as well as others BOLA  tomorrow!!

I also really like the BAL Orioles -102 in this spot better  Oakland's  Moscoso has had trouble in the past vs Orioles and is a fill-in fa Ty Ross (no record and a 16.20 ERA in two games against Baltimore.) He may be on limited pitch count. Britton is pretty solid 0-1 with a 1.98 ERA, allowing just six earned runs in 27 1/3 innings. That Phillies line has SHIFTED from -114 to +106  btw

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. Great minds think alike Quad and Getrdonrite. I'm already on the Phillies against the Lets give all our money to Madoff Mets! What a sad situation in Metville. 2 classic franchises going down the toilet because of utter stupidity. Mets and Dodgers. Amazing. Anyways the Phils will put the Mets out of their misery by breaking out the brooms. GL to everyone!

No kidding about that feeling dumb part. I am with you on Arizona today, pal. Let's hope we made the smart pick. AZ has been absolutely on fire lately! I really like your other leans, as well. Four runs have been plated in only 1 1/2 innings in that Philly/NYM game! Good luck!

Man, that is a bummer about you BTS run ending. I'm sorry to hear about that. You'll just have to pick yourself right back up and get back int the race!  I think you have an excellent chance of getting to W4 with that Baltimore pick. Britton is awesome! Let's just hope Vlad, Jones and the rest of the bats back him to victory! Best of luck to you and everyone this afternoon -

Bring on the comeback!!! I nearly picked the Phillies, as well. I hope the Fightin' Phils get it done in the latter innings against that flammable Mets bullpen! GL Quad and Smooth! Believe!
