Lou Piniella Single Handedly Tries To Screw Books

filed under Sports Betting : MLB

PINIELLA.jpgHoo boy. The floundering Tampa Bay Devil Rays haven’t been kind to bettors all year. Unless they’re getting a run line +2 1/2 or more there rarely has been a reason to touch them. And now, well, there will even be less of a reason to touch them as hat-chucking, tinderbox manager Lou Piniella has vowed to start a reliever for the first two innings of tonight’s game against the Chicago White Sox. Tonight’s starter is scheduled to be Casey Fossum(3-6) against Jose Contreras(3-5). Whether Fossum throws the first pitch or not could be a major set back for those two of you out there that bet on the Devil Rays.
