1. Not surprising at all to see that JD Drew is day to day with a hammy injury and really being unproductive altogether in the potent Red Sox lineup. 6 homers, .260 avg, and only slugging .393? Ugh. How did Epstein (who I like) not see this coming?
2. Why don't I gamble more with baseball? I tend to do well, and I do a hundred times better than when I gamble on football and basketball. The last trip to Vegas I did fairly well. So I will start again with my daily picks. Today there is a lot to like.
+230 Royals
-210 Yankees
+128 Seattle
+112 O's
+150 Pirates
+125 Astros
3. Next trip to Vegas will be in October for Vegoose. The 2006 lineup seems to be fairly decent. The Killer, Black Crowes, and Tom Petty. Let's hope they show back up.

not being much of a gambler myself, can you explain those baseball lines? i know from sportsbook 101 that a plus sign next to the royals means that they suck and are getting extra help, but 230? so i get it....they have no chance at winning just as much as there's no way the yanks will lose. what are those numbers representing?
The odds mean the following:
+: For every $100 you will win what ever the plus number is. So for the Royals, I would win $230 if I wagered $100 on the Royals.
-: I would have to wager the negative number to win $100. So for the Yanks, I would need to wager $210 to win $100.
i take it its too late to bet on the royals game, huh? poor eric.
on a related note, in looking up last night's scores for my sorry attempt at humor, i see that the royals are only 11 games under .500! when did that happen? hell the buco's went on a run here and all the AS break chatter was that they had an outside shot if they kept their streak going.
i guess if i did pay attention, i could have that same spirit. maybe i'll keep an eye in that direction for a bit.
let's go bucs, er... royals!
