In today's baseball action I like the Red Sox +106 over the Blue Jays and the Mets +115 over the Braves. The Red Sox play is just a gut feel, despite their rash of injuries as of late. As for the Mets, this is an excellent team at home and I expect a strong outing out of Pelphrey today. While the Braves have played lights out baseball since the month of May, I expect to see a spirited effort from the home team.
After absolutely NAILING the Washington Nationals over the Giants last night, my spirits were further lifted by the Cliff Lee signing. As I opined yesterday, a Cliff Lee trade to the Yankees would have been awful for baseball. With Lee's arrival in Texas, this makes for compelling post season baseball as the offensive minded Rangers add a much needed stud to their starting rotation.
Congratulations to Carmelo Anthony who is getting married in New York today. Hopefully this will serve as a positive omen, as Knick fans (still smarting from the Lebron snub), are hoping to see him in New York come 2011. Contrary to several misplaced rumors, Carmelo's wedding in not being held at the local Boys and Girls Club of Greenwich, Connecticut nor will the Wedding attire involve "light brown boat shoes" made so popular following "The Decision" by King James. Unfortunately, Lebron opted for his patented Nike's as he joined fellow stars Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh at last night's "WWE Themed" celebration party held at the American Airlines Arena. As Lethal Weapon three got the crowd all worked up, it was odd to see King James off to the side of Dwayne Wade. Then again, the beauty of his decision centers around "Lebron not having to score 30 points every night".
