Run Line Friday
Gotta love Friday. I'm already in weekend mode and can't wait for our annual Pub Crawl here in Newport Beach tomorrow starting at noon. It starts out as a biking event then converts to stumbling around the Newport Pier area. Happy Birthday Ballard!
My favorite run line for the day is:
Washington at Chi Sox (4 Runs): I will take Zimmerman to hold down the Sox under 4 Runs all day. Zimmerman has been outright dominant this season, the last start that he allowed over three earned runs was in April. The Sox offense has been a big disappointment this season. They have scored over 4 runs just twice in their last eight games. Go with the UNDER 4 Runs for the Sox!
2) Cubs OVER 4 Runs at KC Chen--Chicken Dinner
3) Dodgers OVER 3 Runs vs LAA Haren--2 Runs in the First ends in a tie
4) Indians OVER 3 Runs at SF Sanchez--2 Runs in the First ends in a tie
5) Mariners UNDER 4 Runs at/vs Florida Nolasco --- 2-Run HR in 9th after 3 Runs on 3 Hits thru 8 Innings. (Updated 9:42 WCT)

MLB Quick Pick Thursday
MLB Action
Arizona D-Backs (-115) at KC Royals
The first place Snakes are in KC to battle the last place Royals. The Royals have lost four in a row and six of their last seven games. The Snakes have won four of their last six games, including the last two in KC. Interesting fact, is that the Royals have been the worst in interleague play at 2-6 while Arizona has been the best in the NL at 6-2. Arizona throws young ace Daniel Hudson (8-5, 3.56 ERA) against the Royals' Felipe Pauilino (0-4, 4.10 ERA). Hudson has won five straight decisions while Paulino continues to struggle since coming out of the bullpen to start for the Royals due to all their injuries. Go with Arizona!!!
**Nothing like watching the Mets last night winning on a hit by pitch 3-2. Thank you K-Rod for the blowing the save and making me sweat it out for an extra hour. I had the Mets Under 3.5 Runs against Gio Gonzalez. Could have been a much easier night, but then again all my games are heart attacks. The 8th innings are by Far My Worst this season. Hopefully tonight's game will be easier to digest.

MLB Tuesday
We are back after a solid weekend.
The Good: Horseshoes and Wiffle ball at the beach all day on Saturday.
The Bad: Waiting in line at Landmark on Saturday night for 45 minutes
The Ugly: Sunday morning, or should I say Sunday afternoon when I woke up in a haze, just in time to see the Mariners defeat Cole Hamels and the Phillies 2-0.
MLB Tuesday is Colorado Rockies (-135) at Cleveland Indians
The Rockies have won five of their last six games, only losing to Verlander and the Tigers during that stretch. They will be sending their best pitcher so far this season to the mound in Jhoulys Chacin (8-4, 2.81 ERA) to face the first place Indians. The Indians have been struggling in June and have gone 6-12 in their last eighteen games, with half of those victories coming at home against the putrid Pirates. To make matters worse for Cleveland, tonight's starting pitcher Mitch Talbot has gotten pounded for 19 earned runs in 25 innings since returning from the DL less than a month ago. The Rockies are also one of the few NL teams with a legit DH in Jason Giambi, who hit the winning 3-run homerun last night in the Rockies' 7-6 victory versus the Tribe. Let's go with the Rockies!!
**Oh yeah, I hate the Seattle Mariners and Philadelphia Phillies this season. Two teams that I really cannot figure out. A special thank you to the Yankees for taking down the Cubs this weekend. The Cubs are a ridiculously bad team and play horrible baseball just about every night.

Hump Day Rant
Rant #1
Oh man, where do I start?
I played golf yesterday at the Newport Beach Golf course. It's a crappy little course but I like it. I don't lose too many balls and I can walk it. I must have used 9 different balls, including three I found while playing mostly in the Rough. But I have a point, I honestly almost got hit three different times. Probably three shots landed within ten yards of me. Not once did anyone ever say 'Four' or even 'Watch out'. All three times I pointed to the ball and told them that their ball was right next to me. I didn't even get one 'Thank you' or 'Sorry'. I was truly amazed!
I was almost as amazed as I watched the Brewers/Cubs game last night. The Brewers scored three runs and left 8 runners on base in the first four innings to go up 3-0. The Cubs committed three errors and issued five walks in the first six innings. Brewers ace pitcher, Yovani Gallardo, threw seven innings striking out a season high 10 batters while allowing just three hits including a solo-homerun in the seventh inning. For some reason, rookie manager Ron Roenicke pulled Gallardo and put in journeyman reliever Marco Estrada (1-3, 4.65 ERA). Estrada, who started the season as the Brewers emergency fifth starter and had been pounded in his last three relief appearances, promptly allowed three extra-base hits (two doubles off the wall and the tying HR). The last of those lasers was a Aramis Ramirez bomb to tie the game at 4-4. Exit Estrada and the lead. The Brewers would put runners in scoring position in the next two innings with only one out, but would fail to score again. After rookie defensive replacement Tony Campana hit a bloop double to lead off the tenth inning, the Cubs bunted him to third with one out. Genius manager Roenicke decides to pitch to the Cubs top hitter, Starlin Castro--who hits a shot deep into the right center gap to score Campana. Why not walk Castro? If you are scared of Ramirez hitting behind him--then walk him too. Pena follows Ramirez and is hitting .216 and strikes out a ton (including twice already). Better yet--why are you throwing scrub Tim Dillard and not closer John Axford, who has 40 strikeouts in 30 innings this year.
They could have played this game ten more times and the Brewers never would have lost one of them. Roenicke is an idiot--I was aware of that. The Brewers are a putrid 14-21 on the road this season. But allowing Estrada to blow the game was insane. I guess he was saving Latroy Hawkins (0.55 ERA) for later. Thank you Roenicke!
NBA Finals Recap
The Mavs won because Dirk Nowitzki was the best player in the series...by far!
LeChoke James looked scared. Dwayne Wade had his moments but never shot consistently. Chris Bosh will always be their third option. Mike Miller and Joel Anthony completely disappeared. Mike Bibby is worthless. Eddie House should have gotten more PT...but didn't. Spoletra got outcoached. The Heat got outplayed.
Jason Terry was the KEY (as we predicted). He played sensational. He carried the Mavs when Dirk couldn't hit his shots.Tyson Chandler and JJ Barea were huge in this series. I was disappointed by Jason Kidd and Shawn Marion, but they still were alright.
Our Results:
2 Miami Heat Wins---both UNDER the Total in games 1 & 3 = Our Winners
3 Mavs Wins with the OVER = Our Philosophy came through
The Game 4 Mav Win/Under combo was the only game that our Parlay Philosophy (Mavs&Over or Heat&Under) was wrong on, but I still liked the Mavs in Game 4 at home being down 2-1 in the series.
We really thought that the Heat would win Game 6, but Charles Barkley was right again--Miami didn't deserve it. The Heat weren't ready to win it all. We all weren't ready for those cocky bastards to win it.

MLB Quick Pick
MLB Pick of the Day
Milwaukee Brewers (-140) at Chicago Cubs
The first place Brewers (38-29) are in Chicago to tangle with the struggling Cubs (26-39).The Brewers have been hot winning seven of their last ten games while the Cubs have been 3-7 and have had a hard time winning when Ryan Dempster hasn't been on the mound. The Brew Crew will send ace Yovani Gallardo (8-3, 3.96 ERA) to the mound against Cubs starter Randy Wells (1-1, 6.50 ERA). Gallardo has owned the Cubs in his last four starts going 2-0 with an ERA under 2. Wells has really had a hard time since returning from the DL, he has allowed 12 earned runs in his last three starts while only lasting a combined 12 innings in those three starts. Ouch! Go with the Brewers to Win!! G*d Damn Shit---another BS Loss up 4-1 in the 8th. G*d Damn it. (Update 8:28 PCT)
**I will analyze the NBA Finals later today or tomorrow
