Where'd That Fucking Hour Go?

Screw Daylight Savings Time... and work, and other things too. Well, we did win our last pick, which was one Got Damn long week ago, so let's party!

It ain't easy being Numero Uno. Just ask U-Conn, who has been there twice only to be knocked off twice, or Pitt, who has suffered the same double offing. Sam Young threw down 31 yesterday against the Huskies in a 70-60 victory for the Panthers, the second time this year they've beaten Calhoun's Crew. Look for Pitt to rise from the Number 3 spot, we'll probably see these two teams again in the Big East Tourney, and yet again during March Madness.
Good stuff.

Pick O' The Day

OK, I don't much care for Duke, and I do like North Carolina. These two square off at 4:00 EST - get your clocks set - and the Heels are 8.5 point favorites. In this case, I do like Duke, and will shell out $100 for them to win at +330 odds, backed up by $100 for them to cover the 8.5 point spread. Bet one will bring back $430, and the cover bet is good for a $191 return.

Cash available: $239
Streak: Won 1, Thank You Monsieurs Beckett, Wakefield, and Papelbon.
Overall: 5-11

Til the next time...

Recharging and Reloading

It was a long week, apologies to My New Bloggy Thing's loyal reader(s?) for falling off the daily bloggy wagon. I took a consulting job which started last Tuesday, and *gasp* actually worked all week! It's a good thing, great in fact, as my own financial situation pretty much has mirrored the national economy for the past six months or so... Anyway, I'm back, but can't promise that I'll be here every day as I'm pretty well committed to the gig for at least the month of March. We'll just have to wait and see where it goes from there, like everything else in life it's a day at a time. Let's make today a good one then we'll see what tomorrow throws down. Onward.

Not really a video, just a song with a graphic, as I can't find anything with moving pictures. This song kicks a whole truckload of ass though, fits with my whole work theme today, and must be turned all the fucking way up!

The hell's this got to do with anything? Taken in my back yard this morning, this is one of my plum trees, and it's telling me Spring is a springin'. Know what else is telling me that? My DirecTV guide, 10:00 NESN Channel 628, Boston Red Sox vs Minnesota Twins, live. No one need speculate as to where my ass will be parked in approximately fifteen minutes...

Pick O' The Day

I'm taking the Sox over the Twins straight up for $200 at -105 odds, because I can. I don't know who is pitching, who may or may not play, or even if it's a split squad game, nor do I care. All I know is it's the first game I'm gonna see this season, and you can bet your whole ass that I'm pretty friggin' jacked about it. This bet will return $390.

Cash Available: $49
Streak: Lost 1 (Portland, a few days back)
Overall: 4-11
