    2 Thoughts for Tonite

    Can Washington really be as bad as they have looked? I would say yes. It looks like their offense has been formulated by someone that never saw a down of football until this season. Incredibly bad. Second thought - Monday game just another example of the so-called "regular" officials getting...

    The REAL Final Solution

    Sorry to borrow a line from infamous Adolf Hitler, but let's not play games anymore. Let's not be "politically correct" anymore. If there are four possible culprits - Iran, Iraq, the Hamas, and Bin Laden - let's just blow them all off the face of the earth and worry about it later. There is...

    We should have seen it coming!

    This is the most disgusting day I have spent on earth. The tragedy, the death, the ruination of the lives of tens of thousands (possibly more)could not be more sickening. Maybe we could see this coming if we had opened our eyes. The US has become a most naive country. We extol freedom and do...

    The Black Cloud takes a break

    ytd: 14-9 +3.90 units Yesterday - Got a lucky win with the Phillies that I probably didn't deserve. Lost another on the Angels that just flat out don't show up for some games. They are the most frustrating team I have ever followed. They had everything going their way but get taken out...

    The Black Cloud1 has 3 for Tuesday!

    ytd: 13-8 +4.35 units Yesterday - SF Giants won, not quite as expected, but a win is a win. Today's Plays - Phillies -125 Angels -145 I have 2 strong plays for today's card. If I had to say which I liked the most I would go with the Angels and Ortiz. The wager on...

    Black Cloud1 Monday

    ytd: 12-8, + 3.3 units Yesterday - The easiest kind of victory going with over 9.5 in Cinn-Expo game where 21 runs were scored. The game was over the total by the 4th inning. Today - Take the SF Giants at +105 The weak hitting Mets might still be reeling from scoring an amazing 6 runs...

    Black Cloud1 on Sunday

    ytd: 11-8, +2.3 units Yesterday: Somewhat lucky to collect yesterday since pick was predicated on inability of Finley to get anyone out. when he pulled up lame after two innings, things looked bleak. You need to get lucky every once and awhile, and I'll take it. Today: Take the OVER in...

    The Black Cloud Saturday Special

    ytd: 10-8 +1.30 units Yesterday: Expos came through despite my worry about asking a bad team to do something good. Hopefully, this is a turnaround game. Today - Seattle Mariners -170 Not thrilled with laying a big number here, but tough pickings in both leagues at this time. I'll...

    The Bloud Cloud1 Friday Fiasco

    ytd: 9-8 +0.30 units Yesterday - Always encouraging as handicapper to have you under bet done by the 3rd inning. This has been the pattern this week for me and many others. Hopefully, we can all turn the corner tonite. Today - Play Montreal Expos -140 I have saved a ton of money adhering...

    Scamdicapper Fun

    Well, I have solved all our problems for the upcoming year. If we can take this guy's picks, excuse me, BUY this guy's picks, we will be on easy street. Just got an e-mail from some scammer named Joe Wiz. He said he hit ovef 80% last year in football. Documented. That's right, 80%. And...

    Black Cloud1, Thurs Pt. 1

    ytd: 9-7, +1.55 units Yesterday - tough loss on A's who left bases loaded 3 times and must have stranded 14-15 runners. Oakland has been a great team to go with, but it appears that the "breaks" are not going their way every time as before. May be wise to watch a couple more. Today -...

    Black Cloud1 Wednesday

    ytd: 9-6, 60%, +3 units Yesterday - Best Bet performed as expected with SF pounding poor Carl Pavano for 8 runs in 1 1/3 innings. Putting Pavano on the mound is near a criminal act. With an era of about 31.00, Pavano is not ready to return. We went against him at -150 for an easy win...

    Black Cloud1 Tuesday - Best Bet Part 2

    ytd: 8-5; +1.70 units Yesterday - Oakland and NYY win - big surprise. Angels and White Sox fail to so up - that is a surprise. No explanation. Today - San Francisco Giants -170 (3 units) BEST BET This is my second best bet so far. Not surprisingly, the scenario is much the same as the...

    ERA's and Strength of Schedule

    I am probably not the brightest, but the discussions yesterday about era at home and road prompted me to consider era and strength of schedule. This might be very unlikely, but suppose that it just so happens that 50% of my innings pitched are against the bottom teams in runs scored, let's say...

    A Chalky Black Cloud 1 Monday

    ytd: 6-3; +2.30 Yesterday - Lost with the Padres. Can't really complain here as they were just beaten by a better pitching performance. If you would have told me that SD would hold the Expos to 2 runs, I would have unloaded. Great job by Armas. Today - Best play - Anaheim Angels The...

    The Black Cloud1 Sunday

    ytd: 6-2; +3.55 units Yesterday - That is the last time I will take the Dodgers until I see some major changes. Playing in front of a sold out stadium, good news for Kevin Brown, the need to keep up in the wild card race, a rejuvenated Gary Sheffield - all of this wasted in another poor...

    Two Games for The Black Cloud 1 today

    ytd: 5-1, + 4 units Yesterdays results: I am an idiot. Once again I over-analyzed a game a came up with a scenario based in dreams rather than facts. But wouldn't you get pumped to face Albie Lopez if you knew the Big Unit would be looking down at you tomorrow? I am totally disgusted...

    Question for Statisticians

    I often have bloody Saturdays. Does anyone know if the home team has a better record when their crowd is bigger? Assuming that Saturday might be the biggest crowd, are their any stats that indicate home teams outplaying their numbers on Saturdays - either due to support or added pressure on...

    The Cubs are done!

    I have been a life long fan of Cubs and Angels. Obviously, I have plenty of free time in October. But thinking that the Cubs had an excellent chance to win Friday, only to see them play pathetically, I believe that they will not see first place again this year. Houston has already topped...

    The Minnesota Twins

    Well, have we all decided to give up on this team? I just don't see how they can be bet, favored or dog, until they win a few.
