No playoff basketball on today or tomorrow. The league is really blowing it. I know that teams need travel time, but there are currently four series in play. There should be at least one game on the damn TV every night. All I am left with is baseball. Which is fine, but it’s my least favorite of the three majors. What’s worse is I’m located in the Padres market. And for some reason I get all the Cubs games too. I could do without both. Whatever. Right now, I can’t be in a bad mood. “I got a good groove.� I won every bet I made on Tuesday except for a small one. After Realtycheck told me she won 50 bucks I wished that I could win 50 bucks and I did. And I kicked ass at my interview so that was cool.

Yesterday, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, was fined 200k by the NBA. Half for coming on to the court at the end of game 1 in San Antonio. The other half for criticizing the officials on his BLOG. He’s a billionaire. As far as I can tell none of you are. So be careful what you write. Here’s the deal:

MLB: I must be some 15 or so games over .500 the last 4 or 5 days. I am gaining some confidence. I hit a three teamer yesterday that inbolved he Royals. And I correctly took the Devil Rays in a 1-0 pitchers duel.
PIRATES over d backs
DODGERS over astros
PADRES over brewers
cubs over GIANTS-Barry does not get 714 until tommorrow
MARLINS over braves-time for DOntrelle to step it up
REDS over nationals
oakland over TORONTO
tigers over ORIOLES
red sox over YANKS-Wakefield pitches very well against the Yanks and in Yankee Stadium. And he is the underdog so you can make about 1 and a quarter on the dollar.
WHITE SOX over angels-angels got 1st win in 9 tries last night versus pale hose. I expect Chi Town to get er done in a close one. 4-3 or so.

HOME TEAMS IN CAPS
Happy Betting!!
