Streak Speak - July 24

Saved, screwed, then saved again. An interesting run of luck yesterday. Once again, I got the Tour de France pick correct as Alberto Contador seals up the yellow jersey in Paris with a time trial victory, taking the victory away from Fabian Cancellara. Then, the best team in the WNBA gets blown out, San Antonio over Indiana 84-65. But it was all Gold Cup the rest of the way with the US getting a 2-goal win over Honduras and Costa Rica tying their match with Mexico in injury time. Mind you, Mexico broke the nil-nil cap in the 89th minute and the equalizer was scored at 90'+3. But it got me another win. Oh, and a UEFA Europa League win for FC Honka for me as well. 3-0 in soccer.

So today, I picked the coin flip on the nationality of the winner of today's TDF stage. I would really like the World Champion Ballan to keep his lead on the breakaway. They're within 10km at the moment. And it look like I'm gonna take the 2 Wembley Cup props, mostly to get 5 picks in today, as well as an attempt to stay away form baseball. Not sure about the nightcap yet. I'm defiantly thinking some CFL, but there's a boxing prop too...

Tim and I both picked out streaks back up and we're once again tied at the top of the board with W3. He's still 2 wins ahead of me in the monthly race 40-38, but I think that we both will pass the 50 win mark but next Saturday and that would be another first for our group.
