Football Losers, Baseball WInners, Hawks & Tiger

First let me point out that all we're all really looking for is consistency
It's not easy to pick 11 losers in the NFL and match that with another big 11 the following week.
You'd make a lot of money picking my losers.
I've been a better loser than any winner out there.
MONEY !!!

At least my Survivor picks have been perfect
and the Raiders are in first place !


Baseball playoffs, Remember this:
The Baseball playoffs are a crapshoot, starting with last year's champs.

The Cards mostly mediocre pitching staff got hot and ran the table.
The vaunted starting pitching of all those Braves teams managed only one world series championship.
The Oakland A's 'Bash Brothers" won one series.
The arrogant Mets were lucky in their only title.
Last season the Yankee hitters were being hailed as the new 'Murderers Row'.
They scored 8 runs to win game one of the division series but the Tigers held them to just six combined in the next three games
and swept them the rest of the way.

The Yankees won 97 games, The Tigers 95.
Twelve teams won more games than St Louis.
Of course the Cards had the most wins in baseball the season before, and where did that get them ?

Since the 2000 season there have been eleven teams win at least 100 games.
That includes the insane total of 116 run up by the 2001 Seattle Mariners.
Those eleven teams have run up ZERO world series titles.

Go Hawks Go.
Here are my props for the season with Shaun:

Sidney wins by more than 10 points over Jagr.
Hawks better and more exciting than the Habs.
Sergei Samsonov scores 20.
Both Shaun and Denis laughed at those last two.


Standing behind Tiger on the practise range was almost as good as getting Bobby Hull's autograph when I was 8 years old.
