Thursday: 1-1 (YTD: 1-1)
Well, last night’s Under was as good as last night’s Miami Ohio pick was bad. Not the way I wanted to start the season, but hey, it’s just the first week and there’s plenty of good picks on tap for tomorrow’s games. Without further ado, let’s get this weekend kicked off properly.

Carl Pavano is going to pitch for the Yankees this season.  That’s good news for his agent, but I’m not so sure it’s good for Pavano.  I’m sure his arm, oblique, and buttocks are all healed.  But if he stands on the mound at Yankee Stadium, I’m not so sure the fans will let him […]
