August 9th, 2009 Picks

(toggle)

(skip to picks)Well, a terrible day for my picks at 4-8-0, and 2-3-0 on my actual streak picks. Jason Marquis walking Dempster to send a Cubbie home ticked me off enough to take Hendricks without a second thought. I guess 5 walks was Marquis' high for the season, but he really hurt the Rockies' chances there. While I was looking up the recap for the Rockies game I guess Hendricks won his fight. I also got bombed by Queens Park Rangers and Bayern Munich. QPR especially had a ton of chances to win that game, but they just couldn't finish. The one goal they did score was actually pretty lucky where Ramage crossed the ball and it bounced past his own player and past the goalie into the net. So on to the picks and back over the gray-line!

^*_{If you can manage it you'll get a chance to see who wins the toss and bats first which is an advantage at Premadasa, also to see if Jayawarende and Jayasuriya are in for Sri Lanka. And Pakistan is batting first.}
