There was a lot of anticipation around Rickey Henderson’s acceptance speech into the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame this past weekend in Cooperstown, New York. Some people were even touting it as potentially the best acceptance speech to ever be given on the hallowed grounds of baseball’s all-time greats. In my opinion it was excruciating to listen to so we offer you a condensed video version because it becomes irritating very quickly. Rickey toned down his extreme arrogance for the acceptance speech, but his grasp of the English language leaves a lot to be desired. I do dig the all white suit though!

I went 2-1 on Thursday so another night of profit. Going with the Phillies since they are 12-2 in their last 14 home games and taking the Astros even though they are facing Johan Santana. Chalk it!

The Cubbies are 10-4 in the last 14 meetings with Washington and I feel the trend will continue with Zambrano at the helm this evening. Take the Giants too because “the Freak” Tim Lincecum is pitching and after his disappointing outing in the All-Star game I think he is ready to mow down some Pirates batters.

Pedro a Phillie
July 14, 2009 by
37-year old Pedro Martinez is heading back to the majors after passing a physical today with the Philadelphia Phillies. It had been reported Martinez would get close to $5 million, but now it appears Pedro has agreed to $1 million in base with incentives totaling an extra $1.5 million. The Phils have already used nine starters this year after last year when they only used seven total during their World Series championship season. Pedro should bring some balance to the shaky staff especially considering he pitched extremely well in the World Baseball Classic for the Dominican Republic. Just let your soul glow Pedro!

I’m really going against the grain today by taking the Rangers against King Felix and the Twins against the Yanks, but it is what I feel will happen. Dodgers rebound tonight after falling short against the Triple-A Mets.

The Mets are a Triple-A team at best these days so I like the Dodgers and Zona is on a four game winning streak and I’m betting the Padres don’t end it today. Good luck!

Erik Estrada Interview Gone Wrong
July 7, 2009 by
Generally when stars show up to sing Take Me Out to the Ballgame at Wrigley Field we jump at the chance to show you a botched rendition of the seventh inning stretech staple. While Erik “Ponch or Ponchorello if your nasty” Estrada’s arragement of Take Me Out to the Ballgame was putrid at best it was the interview he carried out afterwards that stole the show. References to the sexiest man alive, child porn, and Ron Jeremy’s magic stick should never be included in the same discussion. Check it out!

Time to get back on track today so you better get on the Dbacks facing the Padres who are 12-26 on the road this year. I also really like the Mariners who are 7-1 in their last 8 home games and 13-3 in their last sixteen games as a favorite. Ring it up!

Thursday was a very nice day after going 4-1 on our picks for the day. The Tigers have won 7 of their last 8 games and I think the streak continues tonight with a win over the Stros and run with the Reds due to their recent success against the Indians. Here are your winners for the day.
