The weather here in Florida was gorgeous for July 4th and we didn't even get our normal afternoon rain. Hope you all had a nice day and got a chance to do something fun. As for the picks, there was a mixed back and the day ended slightly in the red. But in the grand scheme of things, there are ...
Game Picks - Sunday: July 19, 2009
passion4baseball.blogspot.com 7/19/2009 — This picker is on a serious roll now. Even picked against Greinke and got it correct, thanks to the usual mismanagement of his bullpen by Trey Hillman. It could have been even better, but the Marlins game was washed out before a complete game could be determined. The Fan had the Marlins and they ...
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 - Monday: July 6, 2009
passion4baseball.blogspot.com 7/6/2009 — 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 - Friday: July 3, 2009
passion4baseball.blogspot.com 7/3/2009 — The picker had a case of the blahs. It was one of those blah nights with a short schedule and no games were on television (watching MLB.TV at Mom's is impossible). So this picker spent the night chasing a bone of curiousity (see the next post). This stage of the vacation is the weird stage where ...
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 - Sunday: July 26, 2009
passion4baseball.blogspot.com 7/26/2009 — As Saturday baseball unfolded, it felt like a campy old Batman episode. Not the movies, those dark and serious takes on the comic book character were nothing like the television show of decades ago. As Batman and Robin took on various bad guys, text would fill the screen like: OOF! and POW! and ...
Game Picks - Friday: July 17, 2009
passion4baseball.blogspot.com 7/17/2009 — Another somewhat successful night at picking Major League Baseball games. Of course there were only eight games, so it couldn't have gone too badly. The Nats over the Cubs was a stupid pick. And this picker should never have picked against Wandy. He's been a boon here all year (and for the ...

passion4baseball.blogspot.com 7/4/2009 — Happy Birthday, America! 233 years ago today, the cream of American colonial society risked everything to sign the Declaration of Independence. The Grand Experiment is still not perfect nor will it ever be. The past is checkered and littered with mistakes. But this is the greatest country on ...
Happy 4th of July
outsidetheboxscore.blogspot.com 7/4/2009 — For our American viewers, today is the 4th of July. The day that we celebrate our independence and pretty much force ourselves to watch baseball. Enjoy the Holiday! Here are some Fireworks!
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 ...
