We Landed on the Moon?

Take the Twins -140 vs. the Indians. I would ordinarily stay far away from this trap but Fausto Carmona has pitched like someone who had all their money invested with Bernie Madoff. Blackburn should keep the Indians bats at bay and hopefully the offense comes to life. Tonight I love the Yankees run line (-1.5) over the Red Sox. They have lost their last 9 games to the Sox including all 8 this year. I have been short John Smoltz since he has come back (burned me against Orioles last week) and I will stick to that theory. Expect the Yankees to win this one going away.
In non sports related news I would like to thank Marxy for taking me to a below average restuarant/bar so he could chat up some Eastern European bartender who resembled a stripper. Much to his chagrin, he wasn't the only dude there. Instead of a sea of babes it was a bar filled with losers, each one thinking they had a shot. Not since Vegas had I witnessed a scene so sad. After overhearing one balding 40 something mutter "looks like people know about this bartender" Marxy shouted "We landed on the moon?"
