Well, I should have known better. After writing yesterday's article, I picked the Phillies. Hottest team in baseball, 10 win streak, veteran Jamie Moyer on the mound, facing a Cubs team that's had trouble swinging the bat, that's almost a lock, right? No, Chicago lights up the Phils for 10 and my streak goes down the crapper. Didn't stop their either. The Nationals pulled a win out of their ass to take 2 of 3 from the Mets, strike 2. Finally, Manny hits a pinch hit grand slam to shatter the 3 or less runs prop in the inning and I ride a L3 into today.
Good news for me is that is stayed a perfect 7-0 at the Tour de France with Alberto Contador's time trial win, which should lock up the yellow jersey for him all the way to Paris. So I'm back at 1, but so it everyone else in the group. Although, I may be going red again, since I picked the Indiana Fever in the noon-30 WNBA game and they're currently down 14 in the 1st quarter. At least I'm not the only one going down there. But a 5-pick day is still possible with a UEFA Europa League game and both Gold Cup semis. So, basically I'll be doing whatever I can to avoid baseball today. The national pastime is quite dangerous on a streak...
