Pick of the day if any of you are awake for it.....

Cavendish vs Any other Cyclist

He's lost his key leadout man, and this is the last stage before 5 days in the mountains, none of the main GC contendors will push the peloton along, and this stage traditionally get won by a breakaway.

If it comes to a sprint, I still think Cav will win it, but I'm betting against a sprint finish despite it being a fairly flat stage.

p.s. All predicitons I make are believed at your own risk ;-)

No good picks today.  2 crappy soccer matches with teams I never heard of and nothing else until 7:00. 

What a crappy day for streaking.

Unless you're on a losing streak. In that case, there's no reason not to go nuts. Without knowing any of the teams, I picked the consensus favorite in the early match. If I have time, I'll do the same for the second. Tiraspol? Where the heck is that? Tirana... that's Turkey, right? (No, Google says Albania...)

Yeah, you're right - losing streak = picking willy-nilly.  Normally, I'd do that no matter what.  But I'm on a 3-game winner and I want a star before the month is out, so I'm being a bit more choosey.  Good luck with Tiraspol! Wink

Against my better judgment, I just couldn't sit still.  I picked Dinamo in the 2:15 game, based on the fact that they won against this same team 5-1 a week ago.

What a mistake.

I would've joined you, had I only been near a computer...

As is, I'll have to try and find a decent baseball matchup tonight :/

I wrecked my streak by going with a random popular game instead of sticking with "against the Razorbacks". With Team USA getting stomped by Team Canada in slow pitch, my losing streak is picking up speed.

What's the outlook tonight -- will the Razorbacks lose again?

Looking for "any other rider" to win stage 20 of the TDF to get the streak to 6.

...looks good so far anyway.

Wow...Cavendish wasn't even showing in the lead group or the chase group with 10 km left in the stage, but the dude won it anyway.

Back to the streak drawing board...

Stroke, I'm gutted, I *knew* Cav would win, he's just too damn good, but wasn't at a PC this morning to make the pick :-)

The cycling one close too early in the morning ;-) (yes I am once again blaming my time zone for a poor showing!)

That makes sense for a night game on the west coast of the usa.  France is only an hour earlier than you.

Actually France +1 to us, but you need to factor in that they appear in the evening for the next day to you guys, quite often when I go to sleep for the night the full selection isn't availible (there are currently only 5 for tomorrow and they are all baseball).

Admittedly, the cycling today was doable, I just never switched my PC on (I was watching the Formula 1!)

ESPN set my last pick as "incorrect", despite it being correct. Haven't seen that before...

"You selected SV Salzburg: Win or Draw"

And the score given in the pick listed below is "1-1" (accurate).

*shrug*
