Guess Who Is Celebrating Today?

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

Tonight is the night - if the Maple Leafs are going to make it to the playoffs, they have to win in regulation and hope that the Islanders lose to either the Flyers (not holding my breath) or to the Devils tomorrow (Martin Brodeur better play tomorrow). We won't bore you with a keys to winning tonight - talk is cheap; it is time for Sundin, Tucker and Raycroft (among others, hello McCabe & Kubina) to step up or go home. Leafs need devine intervention - Hazel Karma wouldn't hurt either.

We'll have an eye on this afternoon's game between the Flyers and Islanders - hoping that Flyers G Martin Biron comes up big for Leaf Nation.

HAZEL'S THREE STARS
While the saying goes that "Chicks dig the long ball", we had to go with pitchers today.

Red Sox West P Brad Penny fought through a game where he didn't have his best stuff to limit Barry Bonds and the Giants to one run over seven innings to lead the Dodgers to a 2-1 victory.

New York Mets P Oliver Perez kept the Atlanta Braves off balance, giving up five hits and one run over seven innings in an 11-1 victory.

Chicago Cubs P Rich Hill overpowered the Milwaukee Brewers yesterday, giving up one hit and one run over seven innings in a 9-3 win; good for the Maeple Leafs in the yahoo pool.


SATURDAY THREE PLAY
It was ugly yesterday - we'll do the totals tomorrow; we aren't going to get stupid and chase lost money - we will try instead to minimize the damage this week.

Detroit over Chicago - Red Wings are still playing for President's Trophy, and they'll be smarting after a shootout loss to the Hawks earlier this week. Lay $100 on the Wings - $370.

Milwaukee over Chicago - we expect the Brewers to respond after being shut down by Rich Hill yesterday, Ben Sheets goes for win number 2 and we like him today. Lay $100 on the Brewers - $120.

Cincinnati over Pittsburgh - mismatch on the mound, so we'll go with the Reds today. Lay $100 on the Reds - $172.

We'll be back later with updates. Have a great one peeps!

We won't keep Hazel up on what's what in Toronto today - the news isn't good; Leafs in trouble and the Jays blow a lead in the ninth...though we here were smiling about it, we won't rub it in.
