Week 8 Gambling Lines


Pick seven correctly (yes, that includes the bonus bet) and you win free beer!  That’s it.  Enjoy.

Kick Ass (-5.5) over Chicken Tetrazzini
A line that’s sure to get the angry birds flying, especially coming off their near upset of Burning Bridges in Week 7.  Kick Ass, on the other hand, had some trouble limiting the Foul Balls offense, but still cruised to a 12-3 win in Week 7.  From my quick anatomical study, it would appear that Angry Birds have no asses which could be kicked, merely foreheads powerful enough to knock down oddly constructed houses with stone foundations and 4X4s.  When reached for comment, Maury Povich stated, “I’m still popular on the YouTubes?”

Pitch Please (-4.0) over New Kickheads
After a rough start to their inaugural season, Pitch Please! hopes to get to .500 for the first time this season against a New Kickheads team which has had the wheels fall off after a promising start.  The Kickheads have an offense that has kept them in games while Pitch Please! has shown a penchant for being a little sloppy on defense at times.  It could stay close for a bit, but expect the Golden Showers to pull away late a spray runs all over the Kickheads.

Burning Bridges (-5.0) over Foul Balls
Apparently 3U3D crew members Brent Wentworth and Matt Wellbrock have a side bet on this game so foul and deviant that it could not be recorded.  I imagine Dottie Wentworth and Katie Litle have been put through the most rigorous kickball training sessions known to man throughout the week and are primed for a showdown.  Wade Brock will take a Matt Holliday slide into Josh Joyner at second and cause the first frown to ever crease Mr. Joyner’s face….moments before he removes Brock from his cleats.

Just for Kicks (-8.5) over Peanut Butter Jelly Time
The first half of a JFK doubleheader comes against Peanut Butter Jelly time.  The PBJs have impressed early in their sophomore season by beating the teams they should, however a disastrous 5th inning against the 5 O’Clockers dashed their dreams of a big statement win in week 7.  JFK is a team who never takes their foot off the gas, just like the notorious sex drive of their presidential namesake.  The Fightin’ Freeds will feast on the Obershaw sandwich.

5 O’Clockers (-6.5) over Chubby Gangsters
Commissioner Morehart will load the playlist with sleepy guitar ballads in an effort to either lull the Clockers offense to sleep, or a misguided attempt at seducing one or both of the Efirds.  Most likely this tactic will only have Pitcher Brent Wentworth seeing red cats and firing off chin music during the game.

Runspringa (-13.5) over Wasted Talent
Who will come more overdressed for the weather?  Wasted Talent captain Rodney Huffman keeping his vocal chords warm under a mock turtleneck, or Rumspringa captain Ricky Holmes in full body thermal wear? 

The Situation (-7.0) over Free Ballin’
Free Ballin’ would like to fight against free fallin’ out of the top of the standings, but The Situation has their sights set on staying unbeaten.  Never count out the Free Balls with Flores, but count on the Situation to be waiting for you….in the parking lot….on the field….but not at the bar.

Foot Snipers (-5.5) over Battlestar Ballsacktica
Aim for the sack.  Two teams heading in opposite directions meet late Wednesday night and the Snipers continue their climb of the cellar and into the sunshine of WAKA VA Peninsula’s Love.  Battlestar….I really look forward to your Halloween costumes this year.  You never fail to impress.

JFK (-18.5) over Wasted Talent
Um….wow.  I turn to Lucero: “Tonight…ain’t gonna be good.”
Bonus Line: Over/Under: 0.5 base runners for Wasted Talent versus JFK.
