W5 & More

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

Rapid fire questions

Who started the rumour that the Maple Leafs were considering hiring John Muckler as a senior consultant? Was that you Bruce Garrioch?

What was Peter Chiarelli thinking when he drafted Zach Hamill with the number 8 pick overall? He wanted a bulldog - he may have drafted a boxer.

When are the Yankees going to say uncle? They look like an average team that doesn't have the horses to get it done.

Where is Mark Buehrle going to wind up? The Red Sox are out of the running - after hearing what the White Sox wanted from Boston, our advice to Ned Coletti is STAY AWAY.

Why did you do it Chris Benoit?

How do you make your mind up to be a prick each and every day? We're asking you Damien Cox


WEDNESDAY'S THREE STARS
Los Angeles Dodger 1B James Loney has been tearing the cover off the ball since being called up in early June. Loney went 3 for 5 with a home run and three runs batted in as Red Sox West beat Arizona by a count of 6-5 in 10 innings. Honourable mention goes to Tony Abreu who hit the game winning home run.

Chicago White Sox P Jon Garland held the DRays to one run on five hits and a couple of walks over seven innings in the White Sox 6-1 win; Garland finished the night with three strikeouts. This guy would look good pitching behind Penny and Lowe in the Dodgers rotation.

Philadelphia Phillies 2B Chase Utley had three hits, including a home run, and three runs batted in as the Phils pounded the Reds by a score of 11-4.


THURSDAY THREE PLAY
We had an ugly night last night - and an even uglier start to the week. We'll get back on the winning side of the ledger - today's suggestions:

Detroit over Texas - enough is enough Texas. We like Rogers to get the Tigers back on track with a win today. Lay $100 on Detroit - $200.

Los Angeles over Kansas City - memo to the Angels...this is freakin Kansas City were talking about. Lay $100 on the Angels - $240.

Boston over Seattle - Dice-K prevents the Sox from taking a space needle in the ass. Lay $100 on the Sox - $180.

If you think we suggesting that today's picks can't get swept (Tigers/Rangers go tomorrow too) you're right. We don't think they are going to get swept. We'll monitor today's games and post additional picks for evening games.

That's it for today gang - thanks for taking the time to check in. Have a great one peeps.

Hazel, I hope things are groovy in your world.

I'm Out.
