It was a long and frustrating weekend that kicked off on Friday with both of my Wembley cup picks tanking after a successful Tour de France pick. I get redeemed by Chelsea's win in the World Football Challenge, and then dashed by a featherweight boxing fight that went the distance. So 2-3 Friday. I got my last Tour de France pick in Saturday, as Vincenzo Nibali placed better than Christian Vande Velde, bringing me to 9-0 for the Tour and putting me back on a W1. The Rays came back from a 9-run deficit to knock off the Blue Jays, but Mike Bliss wrecked early in the Nationwide series race and I ended the day back on a losing streak after Hanely and Manny Ramirez pushed their total bases prop. Sunday should have started off with a win, as I wanted to take Mark Cavendish to win the final stage of the TDF, but my bleeding network went down and was not back as of 4am. But the first soccer pick of the day, a Danish SAS-Leagen fixture got me green, the US got blown out 5-0 in the Gold Cup finals and ended a lot of streaks. But The White Sox came out quick with a 4 run 1st inning and I bucked the majority and got back into the green. Overall, this weekend... 6-5-1. But the important thing was that I got one win up on Tim, who also had a rough weekend. So the race to 50 stands with me at 44 and him at 43.
As for today, it's Monday, so there's slim pickings. I've got AGF Aarhus in the first pick of the day. That's another Danish SAS-Leagen fixture, and AGF is getting the win/draw option. The rest of the plan for the day looks like this. Lyon and FC Porto go off at 4:30 in a Peace Cup matchup. I'm liking Porto for the win here. I'm thinking of skipping all the way down to the 10:10 prop with Tim Lincecum striking out more Pirates than Felix Hernandez can fan Blue Jays. The Giant's ace has 18 K's in 2 starts this season and the Blue Jays strikeout the 7th least in the MLB. It seems like this should be the lock of the day.
