MLB Betting: Sorry, Astros

PH2005102301296.jpgWe’ll take the blame for that loss. Seriously. We had all intentions of betting on the Chicago White Sox because we’re cheap, but then we received a belated birthday card in the mail from our grandmother(ka-ching) and, well, you know how it goes. Anyway, with a lead and Roy Oswalt on the mound, it should’ve been wrapped up. If you couldn’t win last night’s game for yourselves, you should’ve won it for Patti Biggio. Once again we took the hit, eating both the -178 and the under at 7 which was destroyed by the 5th inning last night. Now, tonight’s game is -135 for the White Sox. If the Astros are this “Team of Destiny”, a 3-0 deficit is nothing, right? We’re sure Kevin Millar and Johnny Damon are sitting in the Houston clubhouse right now playing euchre and sharing a case of beer. But, to make matters even worse, the White Sox beat writers have gone out and stolen your not-so-clever nickname.
