(skip to picks)Very poor 1-3-0 day for me today. Started out with a Sean O'Hair loss. The man who finished 10^th at the Masters had the worst round of the entire remaining field. Then I picked up a win with Urbandale, Iowa in the Little League World Series. I skipped past a few picks and settled on the Seattle Storm which was a loss and then I stubbornly took another Seattle team. The Mariners were quite bad as they were shut down by Mitre. Well, the less said about those picks the better and on to a new day.

(skip to picks)Well, Tiger killed my streak and played a great round to take the lead at Hazeltine. I figured he would get a bogey on the back nine like he did in all four rounds in 2002, but he did not. Detroit and then Mickelson for par got me back two wins, but I missed out picking the big favorite San Antonio to win over Bridge City. I ended up taking CC to allow more hits, but after the marathon game against the White Sox last night Seattle never had a chance. I did finish over .500 in my picks, barely, and that will be the goal today. So on to the picks.

1) David Toms vs. Phil Mickelson - Mickelson cards a lower front 9 score

(skip to picks)Upped my streak to 5 with the Blue Jays going down by only one run to the Yanks. I guess Cano was close to hitting a 3 run shot instead of an RBI single so that was very fortunate. A lot of people complained about the refs in the USA-Mexico game, but really the United States just petered out at the end. It seemed wherever the ball went there were Mexico players around to scoop it up while the Americans were nowhere to be found. Kind of a bummer there. Oh well, on to hopefully another good day of picks.

Picks
1) Tiger Woods' Back 9 Score: 34 Or Lower vs. 35 Or Higher - 35 or higher
2) Michael Young vs. Grady Sizemore - Sizemore records more total bases

4) Lucas Glover vs. Stewart Cink - Glover cards a lower or equal front 9 score
5) Genoa @ Villarreal - Villarreal win
6) Phil Mickelson's Score On Hole No. 13: Par (3) vs. Any Other Score - Par (3)
7) Florida Marlins (v. Astros) vs. Cincinnati Reds (v. Nationals) - Cincinnati has a larger victory margin
8) Bridge City vs. San Antonio - San Antonio
9) Arizona Cardinals @ Pittsburgh Steelers - Pittsburgh
10) Indiana Fever @ Minnesota Lynx - Minnesota
11) Calgary Stampeders @ Edmonton Eskimos - Edmonton
12) C.C. Sabbathia: Strikeouts vs. Hits Allowed - Hits allowed

(skip to picks)Got a win with Candace Parker today. It was looking bad for a while, she had one rebound and zero points at the half, managed to claw her way back even at 9 after the third and then ran away with it in the last few minutes of the game. Lot's of free throws and offensive rebounds allowed her to win the prop. Hopefully I can get a couple here tomorrow. So on to the picks.
