3-0 yesterday

Rockies under 12 Zambrano

San Fran is tempting but -168 on Tomko is to difficult a number to
swalllow.

    I have seen a lot of posts taking the run line for the Giant game.

    As stated earlier I won't play the game because, in my opinion, -168 is to
    high for Tomko with any team.

    However, it doesn't make sense to me to play the run line either.
    Firstly, the Giants win a lot of close games. While the home run ball may
    be a factor with Bonds it is my belief that the Giants win more games
    scoring 4 or 5 runs and not 8, 9 or 10. Yes, they did it yesterday with
    11 but that was yesterday.

    Secondly, The Giants are 4-6 in last 10 and Tomko is 5-6 this season. A
    win in this situation for the Giants would be nice let alone winning on
    the run line.

    Finally, The Giants have no closer and traded away their main set up man
    in FeRod. The public may not view FeRod as a good setup man but those who
    know the Giants know the team was very confident in his abilities in this
    role. Also, Hermanson has moved to the closer role, a role he is not
    happy about.

    That's a lot of negatives or unknowns to bet the run line. Nevertheless,
    everyone, their dog and cat are on the Giant Run line.

    Perhaps Cincy and Acevado are that bad or perhaps the added protection for
    Bonds is that good.

    I'll be watching on the sidelines but would appreciate yours and anyones
    thoughts on this one as I am a Giant fan and shocked at the love for this
    game.
