Took It Down!

Hey Peeps and anyone else checking in. A special "Hey" goes out to Hazel Mae.

A great night Friday night all around - I went to play in a poker tournament and beat 19 others to win a few hundred bucks - pockets 9's were good to me all night. I also got to watch the Maple Leafs beat the Blue Jackets by a 4-2 count - big thumbs up to Leafs TV. I won a freakin' great Pro-Line ticket last night too! Yup, a pretty damn good Friday night all around.

The World Series starts up in Detroit with the Cardinals taking on the Tigers. I can't see how the Cardinals can possibly pull this off - Detroit has too much pitching, too much hitting and too much rest to lose this one. I know I'm not shocking anyone calling for a Detroit win - but I'm calling them in 5 games, starting off tonight with a big win against the emotionally drained and exhausted Cardinals.

HAZEL'S THREE STARS

Ok, today they are my three stars - because each of these guys came up big for yours truly on the Pro-Line ticket.

Mats Sundin of the Maple Leafs had an assist last night to outpoint Rick Nash in a 4-2 victory over the Blue Jackets.

Eric Staal of the Carolina Hurricanes had a goal and an assist to outpoint Daniel Briere in a 5-4 loss to the Buffalo Sabres.

Mike Modano of the Dallas Stars had a goal to outpoint Martin Havlat in a 5-4 victory over the surprising Blackhawks.

Team awards go to the Florida Panthers who beat up on the woeful Philadelphia Flyers and the aforementioned Dallas Stars who beat Chicago. The ticket paid 35+ - 1 ...I won't say how much I put down on that one.

SATURDAY THREE PLAY
Detroit Tigers over St. Louis Cardinals - this one is a gimme to my mind. It doesn't matter who the Cardinals offer up as the sacrificial lamb; they are going down tonight!

Atlanta Thrashers over Florida Panthers - the Panthers won their game for the week last night (and I thank them for it) - the Thrashers are for real.

Chicago Blackhawks over St. Louis Blues - the Hawks lost a tough one last night (again I thank them for blowing a 2 goal lead in the third period) - but they'll get it done tonight against the Blues.

The NFL picks against the Spread come later tonight. Have a great one peeps!

HAZEL'S SATURDAY HOROSCOPE
Travel, getting together with peers and pursuing a better understanding of a partnership is where your focus should be. A relationship will take a turn and a decision will have to be made. Choose wisely. 3 stars

Hazel, I hope things are groovy in your world - though the thought of this decision sounds a little ominous (dum dum daaaaaaaaaaa).

Song of the Day on Hazelspeeps - for the peeps at yahoo with the latest topic of discussion - I'll let you guess what part of the song I'm referring to...thanks to Renee for being the inspiration on today's selection.
