T$T & Olympic Baseball

Korea HR 4-2!!! YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

 

[SportsNut]

Sweet bro. Almost tailed u on that but it went OTB...

 

[TheSportsThing]

Whats the deal with the USA game ? Any opinion vs Cuba .

I'd only take the Dog which is what I've been doing in these olypics. USA lost to Cuba 5-4 when they played Aug 15. Cuba ranks 2nd while USA 3rd. USA obviously knows the sport of baseball. Cuba was undefeated till Korea got them. At a +175 Dog I don't see why I wouldn't take them for something.m

 

[TheSportsThing]

Funny thing is I thought the game was on at 10:30 but it wasnt so I figured 2marrow morning. I just turned on TV to watch a little olympics and see the game is on. I missed the whole thing, but at least I can enjoy it now.

 

[TheSportsThing]

5-2 Korea

 

[TheSportsThing]

6-2 Korea. I turn on the game and they can't stop scoring lol

 

[HereWeGo]

All aboard the Korean train again huh TST? Cuba can hit the shit out of the ball...was on pins and needles when we took Korea on Monday night. Gotta remember, these are the best players in Cuba vs slightly above average minor league prospects. Saw the value in Korea on Monday night, but see the value on Cuba tonight, especially since they know if they win they can get revenge on Korea in the gold medal game.

6-2 Final. Korea advances to Gold medal game

Understood. And I can see that happening. I've been picking the Dogs pretty well but I can't keep winning for long. Think I might lay off that game and wait for the Final game which should be a fun 1. :shake:

 

[HereWeGo]

Yeah, I think I'm layin off too...nice hit with Korea.

 

[SportsNut]

Who starts for us...

 

[TheSportsThing]

Steve Straburg on the hill for USA is what someone told me

 

[TheSportsThing]

I'm not familiar with him

 

[HereWeGo]

Stephen Strasburg (probably #1 or def 1st round pick in MLB draft.)
He made seven appearances for the U.S. team, including outings during 10 games of pretour competition. Strasburg was 4-0 with a 0.88 ERA, striking out 62 and walking seven in 41 innings. He held opponents to a .123 batting average

 

[HereWeGo]

He was the pitcher this past spring for San Diego State that struck out 21 batters vs Utah...

Wow HWG that sounds pretty tempting if he's that good.

 

[HereWeGo]

Yeah...wanna play the US now haha.....this is the game that we invented...in its last hurrah at the Olympic games...you taking it TST?

 

[HereWeGo]

As soon as I typed that...off the board. Shit. Oh well, go USA.

 

[pigeon]

Strasburg went 7 innings against Netherlands in the pre-lims allowing 1 hit and striking out 11

 

[TheSportsThing]

LOL why not? May the steak continue. 4 Hrs away right?

 

[SportsNut]

Damn that makes it tough ......

Sort of makes the UNDER 9 of interest but I rather play a side....

The AL lineup is weak ..Tiffee hitting 3rd ?

 

[SportsNut]

Strasburg went 7 innings against Netherlands in the pre-lims allowing 1 hit and striking out 11

To bad they have 9 runs in 7 games here ....not a strong indication ...

 

[pigeon]

jose contreras starting for cuba

 

[HereWeGo]

jose contreras starting for cuba

:36_11_6:

 

[HereWeGo]

Did you take anything Nut?

 

[SportsNut]

Did you take anything Nut?

Nah , its still on the board though with a 3Am time...didit start ? that would be interesting.....

Strong LEAN to the UNDER. Last time the played Cuba won 5-4 in 12 innings and not much offense. Last couple games Cuba had 9 hits and 5 hits ...:cheers:

 

[SportsNut]

Would lean USA as well

 

[SportsNut]

Played a 1/2 unit on the UNDER . Sloppy day in the big leagues pissed away so many units whats another Half ?

 

[pigeon]

very sloppy day. I have been tracking Lowe's great success at home yet I decided to play COL. De La Rosa was great but Rockies couldn't do anything

 

[HereWeGo]

Yeah, OTB on my book. But my book is the shittiest online book known to man.

Guess I'll just wait for Marquis -290 tomorrow morning....

:hang:yeah right.

 

[pigeon]

game starts at 6 AM est

 

[TheSportsThing]

USA +175 (2 Units) I've been lucky so far so being I'm up in Olympic baseball I'll put a little on USA and then hit someone in the Final Game. GL Fellaz

 

[SportsNut]

very sloppy day. I have been tracking Lowe's great success at home yet I decided to play COL. De La Rosa was great but Rockies couldn't do anything

Some days my brain just works in opposites. I like something and my brain convinces me to play the opposite . The sad part is I am being dead honest . The LAD game was aggravating cause I loved LAD and waited to long to add 2 it and it went OTB as I submitted , plus was parlaying the under as well with it. Like Playing the Over @ SEA when I initially liked the Under . Did the same @ Arizona and talked myself of DBacks -1.5 . Did it in the NFL went from Over 36.5 and SF to the exact opposite ...

So no suprise I had a bad day really ...always do when I have these type days....:cheers:

 

[SportsNut]

Fuck it bro. Joined ya ....

1/2 unit USA +180
3/4 unit Under 9 -125

GL ...going to sleep

 

[TheSportsThing]

Hitting the Sack. Hope to see some extra cash in the morning. Later :cheers:

 

[SportsNut]

Waste of money ...gut instinct was to play CUBA ML and didnt...Under spoiled by a 6 run b8th have to love that in a 4-2 game....
