    Pittsburgh (McPherson) -105 over Mets (Mejia)

    Tale of two pitchers:

    One has both and talent and potential and is pitching for a rotation spot in 2013.
    That would be Kyle McPherson.

    The other is Jenry Mejia of the Mets, and he's pitching, well I have no idea at all why he's pitching in the majors.
    He's an 0-5 MLB pitcher with a 5.40 ERA, and he was a mediocre pitcher in the minors.

    Kyle McPherson's career
    The thing that stands out is the base runner ratio (WH/IP)
    Nice K ratio

    McPherson is clearly the better starter, Pitt is trotting out the better lineup

    (Half the postion players can put one out off the Met gas can)

    Alex Presley LF
    Josh Harrison SS
    Andrew McCutchen CF
    Garrett Jones RF
    Neil Walker 2B
    Gaby Sanchez 1B
    Pedro Alvarez 3B
    Michael McKenry C



    (Fred Lewis on top, he's hitting a buck fifty) !


    Fred Lewis RF
    Daniel Murphy 2B
    David Wright 3B
    Ike Davis 1B
    Scott Hairston CF
    Lucas Duda LF
    Ruben Tejada SS
    Josh Thole C
    (Jenrry Mejia P)

    Listen I am not going to get long winded here, McPherson has been solid in the 'pen after he got called up, made his very first start against the Brews last week, lost, did not embarrass himself, but the Pirate brass feel he can be a 4 or 5 starter next year in the big show for them, he has three plus pitches, fastball around 95, nice hook.............. very smart, and not for nothing, McPherson earned a black belt in martial arts at the age of, get this, eight !

    Mets starter is awful, McPherson has game, Pirates have the better lineup, -105 is a great price in this one.

    Bucs for me 315 gets 300

    Man, I want to pound this but the Bucks fukker me against Houston. Keuchel made the line up look bad and he's about as bad as it gets. He only has 2 pitches. 88 mph fastball and a sorry cutter and the Bucs only put up a single run. McCutchen hits what? .450 vs left handed pitchers and he went 0-4. I thought I was getting the deal of a lifetime @ -130. Really fukked me. I still want to pound this, though. Bats woke up yesterday.

    Pirates are literally worse then the Houston Astros. I just don't understand how a team can go from.so good to so bad... They're horrible.

    Whoa Mets got Freddy Lewis?

    I used to like that guy when he was on Toronto and the Giants. Nice pick up.

    Well if the pirates aint a disgrace to the game of baseball. I think they should just move the whole fukking team down to minor leagues, nobody wants to watch that depressing team play in front of what, 10 fans? 11 on a good day. I'll never bet them again this season.

    Well said, Hustler. When you had the best record going into the All Star Break and you're ending the season getting mopped up by the Astros and Mets just don't waste our time. Fade these fukkers, Gentleman. They're done.

    Yup fade em, they look like they have no motivation to win. They all look like they just lost their dog or something. Bunch of sorry people. Oh well ended up going 2-2 on the day thanks to the Rangers and Beltre.

    Pirates just completely suck. Nobody knows who they are anymore. They are the new Astros at the end of the season.
