Sunday was a good day for this picker. Didn't expect Randy Johnson's shoulder to fall off. Should have known the Reds wouldn't sweep the Cardinals. Should have seen the Orioles' bullpen falling apart. But over all, can't be too unhappy about the results.Here are Monday's picks in a short ...
Game Picks - Monday: July 20, 2009
passion4baseball.blogspot.com 7/20/2009 — Another gorgeous day in Maine! This game picker fared very well on games yesterday but poorly on the golf course. Not exactly sure if the picker would have been happier if those results had been switched. Nah. It's all good. Well, all good except for Tom Watson. What a shame. The Fan bets that ...
Game Picks - Monday: July 27, 2009
passion4baseball.blogspot.com 7/27/2009 — It seems the picker is back on track. It wasn't exactly a Hall of Fame performance but it certainly was a lot better than the day before. This picker was listening to some vintage George Harrison the other day and his song, "All Things Must Pass," certainly resonates. There are good times and ...
Game Picks - Wednesday: July 8, 2009
passion4baseball.blogspot.com 7/8/2009 — It's a travel day on Wednesday and this picker will be in the air and on the road from early morning to late at night. Not wanting to deprive loyal readers with these daily, head-scratching picks. There won't be any results from Tuesday, but that may be a good thing.Here are Wednesday's pick:The ...
Game Picks - Sunday: July 12, 2009
passion4baseball.blogspot.com 7/12/2009 — Well that didn't take long. The week's picks took a dive faster than a Yankee pitcher against the Angels' lineup. Faster even than Nick Johnson's and Adam Dunn's homers went back to back against the Astros. The one question that remains is why this picker had to lose everything gained in one ...
Game Picks - Saturday: July 18, 2009
passion4baseball.blogspot.com 7/18/2009 — This picker is on a semi-roll in somewhat unspectacular fashion. While correctly picking nine out of fifteen games, there was no excuse for getting the Oswalt game incorrect or this picker's continued insanity for picking the Orioles every day. Buckholtz wasn't spectacular for the Red Sox (he ...
Game Picks - Wednesday: July 1, 2009
passion4baseball.blogspot.com 7/1/2009 — Holy cow! Did you see that Orioles/Red Sox game? Going into the rain delay, the Red Sox were winning 9-1. NINE to ONE! The rain delay knocks Smoltz out of the game and he pitched great for the Sox last night. After the rain delay, the Orioles knocked around every one of the vaunted Red Sox ...
Game Picks - Wednesday: July 22, 2009
passion4baseball.blogspot.com 7/22/2009 — Wow! This picker had a really good night: only three wrong out of sixteen. The three wrong? Thought the Yankees would lose, the Red Sox and the Rockies would win. Strange. The Rangers are showing a lot of mettle to win two of three from the Red Sox to at least stay close. One pick that didn't ...
Game Picks - Friday: July 10, 2009
passion4baseball.blogspot.com 7/10/2009 — In golfing terminology, yesterday's picks were a shank. The Red Sox lost to the Royals? The Yankees won a game where a reliever started? And to finish it all off, the Braves and the Diamondbacks both had bullpens that nuked their games.Ah well, it's a sunny day in Maine and it's supposed to hit ...
Game Picks - Tuesday: July 7, 2009
passion4baseball.blogspot.com 7/7/2009 — Our last day in Florida. We head back to our home in Maine tomorrow and it's time. Back to our own bed and our flower gardens, our golf course...and well...back to work. But it has been nice here in Paradise and overall, the picks haven't been awful. They just haven't been great either. Who ...
Game Picks - Monday: June 22, 2009
passion4baseball.blogspot.com 6/22/2009 — It was a brutal day for the game picker yesterday. Everything went wrong that could go wrong. The picker could pluck an excuse out of the deck if needed though. The strong Florida sun made the picker's head go light. Yes, that's it. It's the Florida sun's fault. There that is settled. Now that ...

Derek Jeter (right) had four hits, including the a go-ahead two-run homer, Hideki Matsui homered and drove in four runs, and the Yankees rallied from a four-run hole to beat Toronto 10-8 on Sunday. It was New York's fifth straight win over the Blue ...

SFGate: Top Sports Stories 7/6/2009
Though the Giants maintained a 11/2-game lead in the wild-card race after their 7-1 loss to Houston on Sunday afternoon, their potential run to the postseason might have taken a disheartening turn. Randy Johnson left the game in the fourth, an inning ...

Jonathan Sanchez will return to the rotation Friday in place of Randy Johnson, who went on the 15-day disabled list after an MRI exam confirmed a left-shoulder strain in the rotator-cuff area. Johnson was injured swinging the bat Sunday. Asked for ...
