Last week was a week to forget! I finished 5-9 for an overall record of 81-64. My only consolation is that must of the people who get paid to make these picks also had a bad week.
The Jets loss to Buffalo, although unexpected by me, was not an upset. Nor was the Bears victory over the Rams because the Rams are the quintessential up and down, don't know what you'll get, in the parity that is today's NFL.
The Broncos were absolutely humiliated by the Chiefs and the Packers were crushed by the Lions, that's right...the Lions.
The Eagles "O" was so bad that even when they drove the length of the field for a game winning FG, they missed it. The Cowboys scored 6 points against the Bucs in the loss and then cut Brandon Weeden to make way for "Romo the Savior's" return. Believe it or not the 'Boys can still win the pathetic NFC East.
New Orleans was blown out by the Redskins and fired defensive coordinator Rob Ryan who quite possibly could wind up with his brother Rex in Buffalo. I just wish he would cut his hair!
The Raiders let me down in their loss to the Vikings as did the Seahawks in losing to the Cardinals.
And then there are the Bengals. Pay close attention to this...the undefeated Bengals lost to the 3-5 Texans at home in front of a national TV audience on Monday Night Football. There were 15 punts in the game, 14 penalties along with 3 turnovers...a real exciting game...if you're a Texan's fan. And, the Texans worked their way into playoff contention in the weak AFC South.
So we dust off our boots and try to do better this week!
Tennessee @ Jacksonville (L)Titans 21-20 The experts pick Jax, I pick Mariota over Bortles
Indianapolis @ Atlanta Falcons 24-21 Falcons had a week off and Julio Jones goes crazy
Denver @ Chicago Broncos 23-17 Osweiler ROCKS or maybe Trevor Siemian
Oakland @ Detroit Raiders 20-17 No Raiders, this is really you're last chance with me
Dallas @ Miami Dolphins 17-14 In Miami with the "D" really, no chance Cowboys
Tampa Bay @ Philadelphia Eagles 13-10 The Eagles still have a chance...Please
Washington @ Carolina Panthers 24-13 Cousins is no Superman, there's only room for 1
St. Louis @ Baltimore Rams 10-9 The Rams are up this week
NY Jets @ Houston Jets 31-17 The Jets aren't the hapless Bengals
Kansas City @ San Diego Chiefs 30-13 The Chargers are listless and inept
Green Bay @ Minnesota Packers 21-20 The Packers WILL NOT lose 4 in a row
San Francisco @ Seattle Seahawks 21-19 Despite the record the 'Hawks are good
Cincinnati @ Arizona Cardinals 28-12 The "Red Ryder BB Gun" returns with a pop
Buffalo @ New England Patriots 24-14 Even without Edelman or a running back Pats win
Check back on Sunday and late Monday to see hoe I've done!

Charros Reach Midway Point of Liga Mexicana del Pacifico Season
RECORD STANDS AT 17-17
The Charros lost on Wednesday night to the Mayos de Navojoa to reach the halfway point of the Liga Mexicana del Pacifico season with a 17-17 mark. They are currently in a 3-way tie with the Mayos and the Yaquis de Obregon.
There are many reasons for the .500 season from the pitching staff, with a 4.46 earned run average, to the inability of the team to hit with runners in scoring position. Manny Rodriguez, last years Most Valuable Player in the league, is hitting a mere .226.
Two other mainstays of last years team, Eduardo “El Mosco” Arredondo and Gabriel Gutierrez have not played in the past few games with Gutierrez no longer listed on the Charros’ official roster.
 |
| Japhet Amador draws a walk |
Japhet “El Gigante” Amador and Alex Liddi are two of the bright spots in an otherwise average season for the Charros. Amador is tied for the league in home runs with 10 and leads the league in RBIs with 32. Liddi, the extranjero from Italy, is 3rd in the league in batting average at .361, 2nd in hits with 48 and 2nd in doubles with 12.
Liddi was the 1st player born and raised in Italy to play in the major leagues. He was drafted by the Seattle Mariners in 2005 at the age of 17, worked his way through the minor leagues and made his major league debut with the Mariners on the 7th of September 2011. Liddi got his 1st big league hit 2 days later against the KC Royals and hit his 1st major league home run against the Cleveland Indians on the 19th.
 |
| Alex Liddi at 3rd Base |
Alex has been on the roster of 4 major league teams and in January of this year signed a minor league deal with the Royals that should see him in spring training with teammate Brian Broderick as they both try to play their way onto the roster of the reigning World Series champions

NFL Picks Week 10
Last week didn't go very well for me. I finished 5-8 for a 76-55 overall record.
The Packers have lost in consecutive weeks to the Broncos and the Panthers...pretty good competition, consequently not a bad loss there. The Rams loss to the Vikings was disappointing as was the Saints OT loss.
The Falcons are lucky they are in the NFC South. They have looked very vulnerable after an impressive 5-0 start.
There isn't much you can say about the Chargers except that they are really, really bad.
I'll start over this week to get back on track.
Buffalo @ NY Jets (L)Jets 23-20 Ryan v Ryan and the Jets win
Detroit @ Green Bay (L)Packers 33-17 The Pack is back even if it is against the Lions
Carolina @ Tennessee (W)Panthers 27-13 Carolina will have to prove me wrong
Chicago @ St Louis (L)Rams 26-24 Up and down Rams up again this week
Miami @ Philadelphia (L)Eagles 24-23 Maybe Suh should apologize to the Dolphin fans
Cleveland @ Pittsburgh (W)Steelers 24-21 Luckily it's Cleveland this week Ben
Dallas @ Tampa Bay (L)Cowboys 26-22 The 'Boys have to win this week...right?
New Orleans @ Washington (W)Redskins 27-23 I know but the Saints can't close
Jacksonville @ Baltimore (L)Ravens 27-24 Okay Ravens, ONE MORE chance!
Minnesota @ Oakland (L)Raiders 24-21 Same goes for you Raiders!
Kansas City @ Denver (L)Broncos 24-20 World Series hangover still?
New England @ NY Giants (W)Patriots 31-17 Giants tough at home...nah
Arizona @ Seattle (L)Seahawks 27-23 'Hawks begin their march to the Super Bowl
Houston @ Cincinnati (L)Bengals 26-17 Another MNF fantastic matchup
So, the Bengals, Patriots and Panthers march on while everyone else cries "look at me" in hopes of attracting attention.
The Chargers, Colts, 49ers and Falcons have the week off...thank goodness.
Check back all day Sunday and late Friday night to see how I stack up against your horrible picks!

Charros Lose At Home To Aguilas 3-2
LEO HERAS 3 FOR 4 IN LOSS
Juan Navarrete, the Charros manager, tried to shake the offense up last night. The struggling Manny Rodriguez was dropped from his usual 2nd spot in the order to 5th. Leo Heras was inserted in the 2 hole and Alex Liddi, with his .387 batting average, moved from 5th to 3rd.
The changes produced hits, the 1 through 4 hitters going 8 for 16 on the night, but few runs. The 5 through 9 spots were just 1 for 13. The Charros were just 3 for 11 with runners in scoring position.
Terance Marin (0-1), the Jalisco starter scattered 10 hits over 5 innings on the mound, giving up all 3 Mexicali runs to take the loss. The Aguilas offense was 1 for 6 with runners in scoring position and they pounded out 14 hits against Marin and 4 relief pitchers.
Juan Espinoza (1-0) replaced the Aguilas starter, Stephen Landazuri in the 5th inning and picked up the win as Esmailin Caridad notched his 1st save of the year.
Wellington Dotel singled to lead off the game for Mexicali and went to third on a single by Walter Ibarra. Dotel scored on a ground out to third by Yuniesky Betancourt to give the Aguilas an early 1-0 lead.
The Aguilas added a run in the top of the 3rd inning as Betancourt lead off with a single and moved to second on a wild pitch by Marin. CJ Retherford's single scored Betancourt and Mexicali led 2-0.
Angel Chavarin got things started for the Charros in the bottom of the 3rd inning with a lead off single. Chavarin moved to second on a ground ball out and advanced to third on a wild pick off attempt by the Mexicali pitcher. Chavarin scored on a single by Eduardo Aredondo to cut the lead to 2-1 Aguilas.
Yuniesky Betancourt hit a one out solo home run, on the 1st pitch he saw from Marin, in the top of the 5th to increase the Mexicali lead to 3-1.
Eduardo Arredondo was ruled out at first leading off the bottom of the 5th on a challenge by the Aguilas. This would prove crucial as the next batter, Leo Heras doubled to left and Alex Liddi followed with a single. Heras scored on a single by Japhet Amador to make the score 3-2 but Manny Rodriguez lined into a double play to end the inning with the score 3-2.
The Charros were unable to score in their last 4 at bats and the Aguilas (15-9) held on to beat the Charros (11-13) by that 3-2 score. The Charros have dropped 5 games in a row.
IN OTHER LMP ACTION:

Starter Alejandro Soto (2-1) gave up 6 runs on 8 hits while striking out 3 in the loss. Joey Meneses and Sergio Gastelum homered for the Tomateros.

NFL Picks Week 9
Last week was a good one for me. I went 11-3 to improve to 71-47 overall. A last minute switch to the Lions over KC cost me a game and the Falcons let me down in the loss to the Buccaneers. The Bronco win over the previously undefeated Packers was a toss up but the Broncos "D" held Rodgers to 77 total yards through the air.
This week I am picking the Packers to bounce back and defeat the last unbeaten team in the NFC, the Panthers, with a better defensive showing and much more offense. I'm sticking with the resurgent, once again relevant, Raiders to top the Steelers in Pittsburgh.
The up and down Eagles go to Dallas and should, should mind you, beat the Romoless Cowboys.
Cincinnati and the Patriots will remain unbeaten and the Broncos have a contest in Indianapolis that will test their new found offense.
Here goes:
Cleveland @ Cincinnati (W)Bengals 28-13 Johnny Football starting, Browns falling again
Miami @ Buffalo (L)Dolphins 24-22 Miami recovers from the Patriots loss to top Bills
St. Louis @ Minnesota (L)Rams 20-17 Rams are good defensively with just enough offense
Washington @ New England (W)Patriots 35-10 Redskins no match for Patriots
Tennessee @ New Orleans (L)Saints 28-13 Titans new coach no match for Brees and Saints
Jacksonville @ NY Jets (W)Jets 27-21 Still chasing New England
Oakland @ Pittsburgh (L)Raiders 17-13 Oakland is back and better than ever
Green Bay @ Carolina (L)Packers 28-24 77 total passing yards for Rodgers...not again!
Atlanta @ San Francisco (L)Falcons 35-20 Kaepernick sits while 49ers fall
NY Giants @ Tampa Bay (W)Giants 30-20 Manning needs this win
Denver @ Indianapolis (L)Broncos 27-17 Could be the upset of the week but I don't think so
Philadelphia @ Dallas (W)Eagles 21-20 Pick 'em...neither team very good
Chicago @ San Diego (L)Chargers 23-21 Really...these two teams on MNF?
6 teams are on their by week. The Ravens, Texans, Chiefs, Lions, Cardinals and Seahawks. Check back throughout the Sunday games to see how I am doing and late Monday night.
Not a very good week...I finished 5-8 with some help from the Rams, an OT loss by the Saints, the Packers, Falcons and the woeful Chargers.
There is nothing to say except...wait'll next week. I fell to 76-55 overall!
