Cashed easily with the free play yesterday and will have another in a moment.
Hard to imagine but it was 21 years ago today that OJ Simpson made his historic journey in the white Bronco through the LA free ways. That slow speed chase was watched probably by as many people as a super bowl. As I recall I was watching an NBA finals game between the Knicks and Rockets when the news broke. It was practically impossible not to watch to see how the thing played out. I've mentioned this before but my son in law was raised next to Simpson in that house. Actually played catch with him. It was a surreal experience for their family that night as the news reporters swarmed like locusts into their neighborhood. He tells of his family standing out in the yard as the scene unfolded. He told me that after the whole trial was concluded that life in the neighborhood never was the same. Tourists flocked by to view Simpsons home. He said some people would just stop their cars in the middle of the street and snap photos, oblivious to local traffic or the folks who resided there. He said some idiots would lie down on the ground and pose with knives and snap picture. Yes guys, they do walk amongst us.
Okay, a free selection for tonight. Playing a hunch here as much as anything and suggesting a small wager on the Twins as they host my first place Cardinals. I love Martinez and his future with the Cards is bright. But I also know Milone is precisely the type of pitcher that can give the Cardinals fits. Cardinals have been on a nice roll but hit a speed bump tonight against the soft tossing southpaw.
On the business side I passed last night on any featured release as frankly nothing made the grade. I will not force a package, ever. Tonight however I do have one game that I have tagged as a Triple Star Release. I've hit now on 9 of 11 baseball triples. One final note. I have been notified by the home office that they have an offer up that is for the rest of my selections in ALL sports including football through the duration of 2015 for $950. Every Triple Star and Rabid Dog, the whole deal. It is my understanding the same offer is available for my Pregame teammate Dave Essler. The promotion does end tomorrow. It is worth a hard look guys.
Thanks for stopping by and best of luck tonight guys. Enjoy the games.
