Happy friday guys! Was out with some family last night eating pizza and my daughter groaned when she looked up and saw me staring intently at the TV by our table. She saw the football game on and she knows exactly what that means. Dad will be in his own world at times for the next several months. I take it very slow with the practice games, we're not betting with practice money are we? I had a subscriber, single star release on the Ravens last night and they got things off to a nice start by handling the 49ers.
Okay, today in sports history. Several items on the page. It was on this date in 1999 that Wade Boggs collected his 3,000 career hit. I seem to recall that Boggs had a superstition that involved eating only chicken on game days. I think most guys who have competed develop certain weird personal superstitions. I remember pitching in high school with a Bob Gibson baseball card tucked away in my back pocket. It was much easier and less expensive than going to Kentucky fried chicken every day for some yard bird. Lol!
Okay, a free winner for friday night. I am fading the hot Royals tonight as they return home from a sweep against the Diamondbacks out west. The Giants come to town and I'll take Bumgarner over Vargas in this one. The Royals have solid starting pitching and a stellar pen but that offense cannot stand up to quality starters in my opinion over the long haul so I'm just not buying into this club as a legitimate contender.
On the business side I do not have a featured release in play tonight. I do have the College Triple Star up and loaded. And, today is I'm told the final day for the early bird offer on the football packages. The response has been outstanding and I want to very sincerely thank those who have jumped on board for this fall. Just keep in mind self discipline and money management rule the day. Don't freak out if losing weekends occur because I assure you they will. Hell, last year I dropped my first NFL Triple Star on Jacksonville opening day against Kansas City and a knucklehead started screaming **** murder and telling me how pathetic I was. Seriously. I then won 20 of the next 23 NFL Triples. He slithered back under his rock. I would be totally out of my mind to predict I will hit 83% again on this years triples. BUT, I do know I take a great deal of pride in my football and my clients know I will work my ass off to help then achieve success. Anyway, the home office has these packages priced beyond reasonable. If you've been on the fence just keep in mind they will be more expensive later on after today.
That's it for today. Best of luck with your action and enjoy your weekend!
