Pujols screwed me over on the Obama pick, that was a dirt ball and Pujols bailed him out

I'm at W4.....again.....lets see if I can ever get this account past that

7/15/2009 12:22:28 PM

W4.... going with Tiger 69 or over today

7/17/2009 8:41:19 AM

i don't trust him

7/17/2009 9:21:51 AM

I trust him on cut days at Majors, especially when I checked the weather last night and it wasn't supposed to be as bad as it was yesterday

Of course as I am typing this, he goes from -1 to E through 8. Still I think he can shoot -2 over the remaining 10 holes. If not, its L1 for me

7/17/2009 11:40:28 AM

i wanted to pick Cabrera this morning, but my dumb ass picked a 10pm baseball game. i couldn't stay awake late enough for the game to finish to make the pick since it started at 3:58am.

guess i'm picking soccer this afternoon. i don't know what i'm going to pick tonight. meh.

7/17/2009 11:51:21 AM

tiger fail

why did i pick him after he screwed me yesterday when i picked him?

7/17/2009 1:55:17 PM

yeah that sucks about tiger. i didn't pick in it, but i thought deep down he'd pull it off

when Golf gets you down, theres always Austrian Soccer

7/17/2009 3:13:41 PM

i love picking those obscure soccer games.

7/17/2009 4:27:13 PM

i'm like 5-1 in soccer picks but i just missed that last one

7/17/2009 4:28:32 PM

i got the last one. got lucky though. the team was losing/tied the whole game and scored 2 times in extra time to win.

7/17/2009 4:31:27 PM

fucking phillies, if you blow this for me...

7/17/2009 11:22:04 PM

survived a scare last night. picked Lance this morning. i don't know too much about the Tour de France this year, but it's hard to bet against Lance Armstrong.

7/18/2009 7:18:43 AM

I took Florida in that game...I knew it would be close but not that close

I too lost on Lance

USA Softball came through for me though

I'm taking the Cardinals over the D-Backs tonight

i guess it's easy now that he's pretty much given up

On a W8 streak, but none of the match-ups look great today. Was hoping they'd throw out the easy USA softball pick but the one they used is a bit tougher than I'd hoped.

7/20/2009 9:18:20 AM

^ Would go with the Shutout if the tall blonde from Arizona is pitching, Finch maybe...

7/20/2009 10:20:41 AM

I'm pretty wary of all the baseball games tonight

Initially I'd like Atlanta over San Fran because despite Sanchez' no-hitter last time, I doubt he follows it up with a good performance and I still like Hanson better. But the Giants have the 2nd best record in the NL for good reason.

Normally I'd like Philly to win at home versus the Cubs, especially since Philly has Ibanez back, but the Cubs have Aramis back and have Lilly on the mound and just swept a 4 game series, albeit the Nationals.

Rays and White Sox are two young inconsistent pitchers battling it out in Gavin Floyd and David Price. Both of these pitchers are capable of either throwing terrific games, or getting completely rocked early on and walking a lot of guys. I like Floyd as a little more reliable option, but I like the Tampa bats a little more than Chicago's.

I like Florida over San Diego but both starting pitchers suck. While I like Florida's bats better, Petco is a pitchers park, and San Diego has the best power hitter in the matchup. I'd lean Florida but I'd be hesitant.

Finally we have Votto vs. Manny in total bases. Jason Schmidt starts for the Dodgers for his first start in what seems like a year and a half. He goes against serviceable and good-hitting pitcher Micah Owings. Will Manny hit 2 doubles and a HR and shatter any chances of Votto winning, or will he leave his bat on his shoulder the entire game like Manny has been known to do?

Tough games, but theres my pre-game analysis.

7/20/2009 3:11:36 PM

friggin giants

7/20/2009 10:10:52 PM

same here, man.

7/21/2009 12:21:57 AM

Go Turkey U19!

7/21/2009 1:37:02 PM

i got Turkey. up 1-0 in the 39th minute right now.

7/21/2009 2:09:07 PM

fuck you guys- i went spain

i have to admit though, these guys make soccer look good. they're fast as shit

7/21/2009 2:24:45 PM

shit, now spain is up 2-1 about 58' in

7/21/2009 2:44:51 PM

yeah, i just saw that.

spain scored twice in 3 minutes.

7/21/2009 2:45:36 PM

we need the luck of the Engin Atsur to help Turkey pull out the tie

7/21/2009 2:47:25 PM

don't think it's happening.

make it a 3 game losing streak.

7/21/2009 3:21:38 PM

my W5 just turned into an L1

oh well, i guess i'll try my luck at the WNBA

7/21/2009 3:24:04 PM

Spain just pushed me up to W9...now to pick a game to get up to W10, haha.

7/21/2009 4:05:49 PM

why aren't you people in the TWW group? as far as i know, you're lying.

7/21/2009 4:45:20 PM

i joined a couple weeks ago at your suggestion

7/21/2009 4:46:04 PM

my b. are you 'Jamike'?

i was looking for 'TreeTwista.'

[Edited on July 21, 2009 at 4:58 PM. Reason : ']

7/21/2009 4:58:08 PM

yeah had the entry named before i knew the idea was to put your TWW name

LudaChris must not be in though since the highest active streak in the group is W7

7/21/2009 5:01:04 PM

wish i had been home to pick Seattle tonight. they are a good bet on their home field. i just went with Inter Milan thinking their match with Chelsea would be a draw. we'll see. i'll feel better about it if Drogba and Essien don't play again.

[Edited on July 21, 2009 at 11:15 PM. Reason : well, Seattle down at the half, but i would have picked them]

7/21/2009 11:05:41 PM

fuckin' Drogba and Essien are playing. and no Ibrahimovic for Inter. that pick looks real bad now.

7/21/2009 11:40:39 PM

how long is this damn Seattle Houston soccer game? Seattle Sounders up 2-1 and they're 119 minutes in??

7/22/2009 12:50:17 AM

they were tied after 90, so they play 2 15-minute halves of extra time.

7/22/2009 12:51:08 AM

ah ok i gotcha, i was thinking it would be penalty kicks or something

i knew it couldnt end in a draw at least

[Edited on July 22, 2009 at 12:52 AM. Reason : .]

7/22/2009 12:52:15 AM

speaking of draws, it's not looking like Inter is going to pull one out like i'd thought.

props to Seattle for pulling that one out though. scoring in the 89th minute to force extra time and winning then. well done.

[Edited on July 22, 2009 at 12:57 AM. Reason : k]

7/22/2009 12:54:40 AM

yeah 2-0 84 minutes in in favor of Chelsea...my buddy who follows soccer as much as me (none) told me to definitely take Chelsea, but looks like Seattle is gonna win for me

W2!!

what does AET mean?

I love it when they throw fringey sports like darts in there

7/22/2009 9:04:20 AM

7/22/2009 9:39:13 AM
