July 18th, 2009 Picks

(toggle)

(skip to picks)Well, I avoided the dreaded five game losing streak with Angel Cabrera in the morning. Paul Casey was downright bad, but then the course played pretty difficult as the majority of players ended up over par for the round, including Tiger who missed the cut by one stroke with his +5 overall. From there I got back to work picking FC Kärnten to get me back to L1. They went a man down at 79' with the score tied 1-1. They managed to keep it that way until injury time where they gave up two goals to the Wieners of Neustadt. Then it was another loss with Suppan and the Brewers and now I'm looking to take a third straight L by avoiding all my winning picks in the evening and going with the Angels. Ah well, things continue to be busy so on to the picks!
