Ive been avid sports bettor for years. I consider myself to be pretty good at it, though truth be told, gamblers generally only remember their last win, so its quite possible that Im horrible. You can judge for yourself as each day Ill share with you my Pick of the Day. Heres my selection for Tuesday, July 31, 2007:
TAKE THE CARDINALS -115
The Pirates are home, but their losing ways will continue tonight when the St. Louis Cardinals arrive at PNCPark for a 3-game set.
Pittsburghs...

Barry Bonds should play tomorrow if the manager wants him to play. He should play if his team feels that, with his bat in the lineup, they have a better chance to win. To "pre-blame" Barry Bonds for deliberately stealing Cal Ripken's thunder by tying or breaking the most hallowed record in all of sports tomorrow (because, let's face it, no one in Baltimore really cares if Tony Gwynn's thunder is stolen) is ludicrous at best- at worst it's darn near psychotic!
Maybe we should blame Barry...

PLUS Tonight's Home Run Derby and Arena Football
You wouldn't think so. I mean he certainly doesn't fit the profile. But, then again, he did get busted the other night with a gun in his car, marijuana, cocaine AND Ecstasy. Sure he's no Pac Man Jones, not yet, but give him time. Funny how this story hasn't blown up all over the place. It's not even listed as a headline on the WNST site. Makes you wonder. I mean if this had been a current NFL player, it would be front page stuff. I'm sure someone.

PLUS Catch me Live at Tracy's Comedy Club Tonight
My apologies to the five of you who simply love my blog. It's been a few days. It's been hectic. It's been too hot. I just didn't have the time. The good news is that there's LOTS to talk about so let's get started...

Prove me wrong Aubrey! I said you weren't worth it and there you go hitting for the cycle. Sometimes it's nice to be wrong. Shame the team still loses.

PLUS Selig Loves Bonds and Lindsay Lohan's a Maniac
The NBA scandal involving referee Tim Donaghy offers a potential scenario that frightens me...
Consider Republican senators Buford Polyester and Earl Helmet-head, two Far Right guys bought and paid for by the Christian Coalition. These two "clowns for Jesus" stand up on the floor of the Senate and decry the proliferation of gambling and its inevitable association with organized crime. The referee will be portrayed as a "lost soul" who merely...

When I was young I was really into playing table top baseball games. It started with "All-Star Baseball". I was four or five years old when a teenaged kid, who seemed like 50 years old to me, brought the board game over to my grandmother's house for us to play while babysitting my brother and I. The edition was a few years old and guys like Jim Gentile, Julian Javier and Harmon Killebrw were in the box. This was the game with the circular player cards and a spinner. I learned how to flick my...

"Pot", "Chronic", "Spleef", "Doobage", "Grass". "Ganja", "Maryjane" (if you're really old school), "Weed", call it whatever you want, it's as much a part of the NFL as shoulder pads and touchdown celebrations.
That's the reality. It's also a HUGE part of our culture and it has been for a long time. Personally, I'm not big on it anymore. I used to
be. Hell, in high school I could do massive bong hits for breakfast and still be able to ace an exam, play dodgeball, work at the car wash after...

When Andrew and I first started at WNST we planned on doing a lot of gambling related stuff. Whether it's poker, black jack, ponies or sports, 30 million Americans gamble on-line. A few months back, legislation was passed designed to make it tougher to fund off shore accounts. It ain't working, folks! Good.
Anyway, baseball is a tough bet for a lot of people and some just don't understand how to do it. It's easy. Remember you're not betting point spreads. You can. In baseball they have the...

Okay, so Barry Bonds isn't going to enter the Home Run Derby in San Francisco. Big deal. Neither is Ken Griffey Jr. There's a reason. He's OLD. Swinging a bat that many times in a row is not as easy as it seems. And, as has been pointed out in several articles already, there's a lot of waiting around and with it the increased potential for muscle stiffness or worse. The man is protecting his body. I know he's a jerk. I know people hate him. But, please, LEAVE THE GUY ALONE ALREADY!
Deal with..

Congratulations, Mr. Snider, on a job well done. Your writing is extremely effective and your arguments strong. Thank you for reminding me that the notion of "innocent until proven guilty" isn't actually found in the Constitution. However, I learned that fact in 9th grade and was merely trying to avoid boring our five readers to death with the long history behind this particular legal principle. In fact, while our Constitution does not specifically mention the notion, I direct you to the Bill...
