Derek Jeter is getting hot. He has a 19 game winning streak going. I’m gonna ride till he hits 30 games!
That is why you will never win. Riding someone’s long streak is a sure way to lose because the odds get slimmer with easch passing day.
Is is just me but has Spooky93 gotten darn too lucky too many times. I mean Carl Crawford for today. 1 for 6 so far. He just lucked out because Crawford hit the 2nd pitch of the game for a single from a “spooked” pitcher coming up from the minor league. How much more luck can he have? There have been so many instances with him. The day Guerrero had only 2 at bats because he left due to flu. There was I remember once earlier in the streak where Ichiro barely beat out a cheapest single at his last at bat.
I think its time for Spooky93 to take a fall. Too many good fortunes gone his way. Will he ever eat the pie?
well if he gets 57 there will be alot of mad people because we all saw that on Tuesday the sight said ” no selection” next to his name.
Spooky picked the obvious choice tonight in Michael Young…I thought about Young myself, but the numbers he has talked me out of it. I figure he’s due for an “0-fer” against Moyer.
Not for nothing though…best of luck to Spooky.
i even had young picked but made the change to another Ranger. Ian Kinsler whos been really hot the past week or so. i was actually rooting against young and i live in dallas.
