Game Picks - Monday: June 29, 2009

Aha! The game picker sees how it goes now. The game picker just needed a cloudy day in Florida for the picks to come out right. It was a cloudy day here in Paradise and the picks had their best day in quite a while. Well, it's cloudy again today, so let's keep this ball rolling.Today's picks:The ...

Game Picks - Monday: June 22, 2009
— passion4baseball.blogspot.com — 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 ... (more) Game Picks - Monday: June 22, 2009

Game Picks - Tuesday: June 23, 2009
— passion4baseball.blogspot.com — Florida hasn't been very good for the picks this week. But then again, it hasn't been a... typical Florida experience. This game picker has been coming down every June for thirteen years. Most people up home say: "What are you crazy! Going to Florida in the summer!?" But it's always been enjoyable. ...

— passion4baseball.blogspot.com — While the skin turns from somewhat red to tan down here is Florida, the picks record keeps... going farther into the red. It's hard to believe that this game picker is this bad this consistently. Perhaps Anonymous from the other day can be hired to take over. Here's how we could work it (if you are ...

passion4baseball.blogspot.com 6/1/2009 — Unbelievable. This picker is doing about as well as David Ortiz lately. Just a week ago, this daily feature was 22 games over .500 for the month of May. As the month just ended, the final result was one game over .500. Two weeks ago, the Fan had 48 total points at BallHype.com in the "Games" ...

passion4baseball.blogspot.com 6/8/2009 — Thanks to some encouragement from a really nice comment on yesterday's game picks post, this picker will no longer whine at the vagaries of this nutty season in Major League Baseball. Instead, this picker will enjoy the ride and the summer no matter what happens. And like the comment suggested, ...

passion4baseball.blogspot.com 6/11/2009 — Seven more days until this picker can head to Florida to sit by Mom's pool and read a few good books. Never before has that pending trip been so needed. These old bones need some Florida heat to recoup and recover. As for these baseball picks, recovery was short lived. But as in life, where this ...

passion4baseball.blogspot.com 6/30/2009 — It was a maunder Monday as the picks came out dead even. Considering that Halladay lost and Porcello lost and this picker actually thought the Mets could beat the Brewers with that AAA team they are fielding, the results are understandable.Rant: The Fan has been picking games on BallHype.com ...

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 ...

passion4baseball.blogspot.com 6/16/2009 — This game picker can finally say that yesterday was a perfect day. There were no incorrect picks while finishing a major contract order for hardcover books. What a job that was. Been working from early in the morning until midnight for weeks now. But it is finished and in two days, this ...

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 ...

passion4baseball.blogspot.com 6/15/2009 — A change of attitude sometimes means a world of difference. This daily feature has been a lot about whining about game outcomes and blown saves and lost opportunities. This picker has begged and cajoled and cried about bad outcomes. Starting last week, with the help of a faithful reader, this ...

passion4baseball.blogspot.com 6/26/2009 — We're still stuck in a Florida malaise. Haven't had a good day with the picks since last week. Haven't had a good week in Lord knows how long. It's really hard to cry about it when a wonderful pool is waiting and the last third of Berra by Barra is awaiting perusal. It was pretty cool, however, ...

passion4baseball.blogspot.com 6/27/2009 — Well holy smokes! This picker actually had a decent night. If Soto hadn't hit the jack"pot" with a homer, it could have been better. But all in all, Romero was an alpha. Gardner was "shear" brilliance. Beckett's performance wasn't at all novel. Millwood ground out another win. And Ethier was ...
