    So I play a 3 team parlay today, bet 20 to win 95

    Braves and Yankees both win. Milwaukee up 6-3 going into the bottom of the 9th and RAMON HERNANDEZ costs me $115 with a 3 run walk-off?

    Fuck me.

    Halladay sets down the first eight Astros with ease, but Brett Myers hit a line drive single up the middle.

    Scoreless in the 5th. Myers just singled off Halladay again.

    Matt Holliday underwent an appendectomy today, and he'll miss 3-6 weeks.

    Myers just cruising. Less than 60 pitches through 6, and just got some more support. 4-0 Stros.

    Both the Astros and Phillies have dictated their seasons. Stros blow, Phillies will always have ways to win.

    The Jays looked pretty good last night in a 13-3 drubbing of the Twins.


    Maybe THIS year, the Jays will play this well past June.

    Drabek gives up one hit and one run in a 6-1 rout of the Twins. Nice debut for the kid.

    Apparently the Cardinals think he could be back within two weeks so he might not even be put on the DL. I usually take the over in situations like this but for my fantasy team's sake I'm hoping the Cardinals are right.

    Flipped on the Jays game. Saw the Nix homer off Liriano, flipped it off, smiling. Fuck you, Liriano.

    Just bought an MLB.TV account. So far it's pretty cool. Great quality, every game. Should allow me to finally see all the Giants games I want :)


    Also, wtf.

    Could the O's actually compete this year? Reach .500 at least? They have looked great early.

    As you know, the first 4 games of the season are a clear indicator of how a team will perform all year long.

    Well, they started 3-16 last year I think if I remember right and that was a pretty clear indicator. Haha.

    Dodger game just ended on a football style collision. Dodgers up 4-0, bottom 9th, bases loaded. A weak grounder to Casey Blake at 3rd, as he charged the ball he collided hard with Headley running from second, both guys went flying, Headley was called out, game over. We'll take t.
