Saturday Three Play

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

A quick post today - all about the three play. We were going to do the Stanley Cup breakdown and accompanying prediction (think I'm picking against the SenaTards? Damn right, and you'll find out why tomorrow). Busy day here today...so we are just posting the three play picks.

One quick question though - does anyone find it strange that Rick Tocchett plead guilty to charges of "promoting gambling and conspiracy to promote gambling" and will likely not get jail time for it? The other two men charged (one being a state trooper) are definitely going to get jail time...and Tocchett skates away free (pun intended). Anyone else wondering if, some how some way, the NHL was involved in getting this swept under the rug to avoid any further mention of Janet Jones (and Wayne Gretzky)? Things that make you go hmmmm - I'm thinking the NHL, with the limited credibility and pull they have in the US, might have gotten involved in this one. I could help but remark at the arrogance of Tocchett's lawyer, Kevin Marino, in summing up the plea - "I'm sure everyone recalls the manner in which the case was initially announced and described...I think the proceedings speaks for itself."

Meaning what? The fact he gets away with no jail time somehow absolves him of committing this crime? What an assinine way to speak of the proceedings...if there was any justice, Tocchett would be serving jail time along with his co-conspirators. Before you ask, I'm not a Tocchett hater - quite the contrary, he was one of the only Philadelphia Flyers I ever liked; but if that was you or me, our asses would be in jail.

SATURDAY THREE PLAY
Tough night last night with San Francisco blowing a good start by Matt Cain (also a valued member of the Maeple Leafs) - so we are back down to - $195 for the week. We'll get it right tonight.

Cincinnati over Pittsburgh - former Sox P Bronson Arroyo goes up against one-time Yankee Shawn Chacon, that's enough for us to back the Reds. Lay $100 on the Reds - $180.

Arizona over Houston - we'll go with Brandon Webb at home tonight. Lay $100 on the D-Backs - $170.

San Francisco over Colorado - the Rockies got lucky yesterday...San Francisco, behind Matt Morris, makes up for it tonight. Lay $100 on the Giants - $130.

That's it for today gang - we didn't watch things closely enough to pick out three stars yesterday. Have a great one peeps.


HAZEL'S SATURDAY HOROSCOPE
Check out communities or organizations that are doing something you believe in. An opportunity is evident if you get out and talk to people about your goals. Picking up a new skill will benefit you greatly. 3 stars
