Game Picks - Thursday: September 9, 2010

The picks got off to a fast start and were 2-0 after the day games. That tally quickly got to nine correct picks by 10:30 ET. But once again, the late games left the Fan wanting. Still, nine correct finally pushes the month into the black. The Game of the Day feature failed again for the sixth time in the last seventh attempts. The most laughable pick of the day was Zach Duke and the Pirates. That worked out well, eh? hehehe. Dummy.

Only six games on Thursday's schedule:

• The Reds over the Rockies: Mr. Wood needs to answer the bell and shut the Rockies down. He faces a tough (lately) Hammel.
• The Tigers over the White Sox: Mr. Porcello nails another nail in the White Sox coffin. Floyd goes for the ChiSox.
• The Braves over the Cardinals: Jurrjens shuts down the Cardinals' moribund offense and beats Wainwright.
• The Rangers over the Blue Jays: Another Shawn Hill resurrection in Toronto. It's still Shawn Hill. Colby Lewis gets the win.
• The Padres over the Giants: Garland needs to come up big against Cain and the Padres need this to stay in front.

And the Game of the Day

• The Dodgers over the Astros: Ted Lilly should easily beat Norris.

Yesterday: 9-6
