Today’s picks

L is for luck and you need some to win this challenge, so I’m going with Jon Lester and Mat Latos tonight. Joey Votto has been hot, and Evan Longoria has good numbers vs Toronto, so they’re both on the team. And since Jose Bautista helped beat me last night, he’ll be on my team tonight hoping for a repeat…probably not a good bet going against David Price!

Speaking of last night, congratulations to Jeff Roberts, who won the league with 62.67 points, nosing me out with 61 points.

Today’s picks

It’s all about pitching, and two of the best are on call today; Chris Carpenter, who the Cardinals desperately need a stellar performance from, and King Felix, who has been nothing short of spectacular lately. I’m going to try and ride a few hot hitters, Konerko, Cano, Reynolds, Rios and Gonzalez.

Today’s picks

Roy Halladay is money in the bank, and he’ll show his mastery in LA tonight, easy pick! I’m going out on a limb, and will probably regret it with my second pitcher, taking Carlos Zambrano against Pittsburgh. If he’s on, it could be a great pick, but if he has the wrong umpire squeezing him, he’ll throw a tantrum and could be gone early…a risky pick, but The Godfather does take risks when the rewards are worth it! My offense is anchored by Albert, Hanley, Hamilton and Braun, a fantasy players dream team!

Today’s picks

Adam Wainwright is on his way to the NL Cy Young, and he’ll show his mastery in Pittsburgh tonight, while Gio Gonzalez goes through the Indian lineup like a knife through butter!

I’m going to stray a little tonight from the “usual suspects” and go out on a limb with Ryan Theriot, Coco Crisp, Scott Rolen and B J Upton.

That’s all for my preview, I might give you a couple more picks during the Fanball Fantasy Drive…

The Godfather will be in NY for the Mets game tomorrow (Wed) night (and rooting for Bobby Parnell to pick up a save…I claimed him in Tout Wars this week), so there will not be a private game Wednesday or Thursday this week.

If you’re in New York and you’d like to go to the game, we’re meeting under the Apple by the subway between 5:30 and 6:30, and we have a few tickets left. Just send me an email, Charlie@fanball.com and let me know you’d like to come as our guest, and I’ll take care of you!

An offer from the Godfather you should not refuse!

Today’s picks

I’m playing homer tonight! I’ll be at the Cards game with Rick Thomas, longtime NFBC customer, and I’ll be closer to home plate than Jamie Garcia will be…so I’ll have a good look at him and I’ll be rooting for lots of strike out and a win! And I’ve got Albert and Matt on my team also, maybe both can take Bush deep. Tough slate tonight, lots of good people to pick from, but I’m going with Ricky Nolasco to beat the Pirates, and have Hanley and Uggla in also. So if the Cards and Pirates win and get good games from their major studs, I’ll be tough to beat.

That’s all for my preview, I might give you a couple more picks during the Fanball Fantasy Drive… For those of you who would like to hear The Godfather, I’m on the Fanball Fantasy Drive show at 4:30 PM CT, Monday thru Thursday, Sirius 211/XM 147 the 24/7 Fantasy channel.

Monday’s SnapDraft Picks

Charlie Wiegert — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 20:03:37 +0000

Good News…Bad News

The Godfather prevailed last Thursday and won the 10 man league, which keeps the Rich Gannon autographed Photo in my office for another few days. Since nobody won it, I’m going to give you another chance tomorrow…Win the Sirius Snap Draft Challenge on Tuesday, August 17^th, and you’ll win you’ll get a signed photo from the 2003 Super Bowl MVP, Rich Gannon. The Raiders QB was also the 2001 and 2002 Pro Bowl MVP and the league MVP in 2002 as he took the Raiders to the Super Bowl. A regular radio guest and fantasy football hero to many, this photo will become a prized possession…if you can win it! Nothing to lose by trying, it’s free. Get in early if you’re interested!

Today’s winner will receive the Owner’s Edge MLB subscription.

Today’s picks

What to do with the Lee/Price match up tonight..rather than try to figure it, I’m leaving it alone. There’s a good chance neither will win the game, but both pitchers should earn 15 points without a win. Get lucky and pick the right one and you’ll get 25 plus points probably, but I’m going a safer route, Brett Anderson and Jonathon Niese.

I’m going A-Rod tonight hoping he goes downtown against Max, and Miggy, hoping he takes Vasquez deep. Should be an interesting game in the Bronx!

The Godfather Offer You Should Not Refuse has been extended!

From the “What Have You Done For Me Lately” question, comes this Free added bonus to our popular Football Challenge games. First, this was my brain storm and I had to sell the “powers to be” on doing this, so I need your help or they won’t listen to me again when I have an idea!

My idea is simple, let’s do something that will add some fun and challenge for our great challenge game customers, giving them a chance to win some extra money, and not having it cost them anything. The “Pre Game Warm Up” accomplishes all my objectives. And if you plan on playing one of our challenge football games this year, there’s no reason not to do this!

Truly…AN OFFER FROM THE GODFATHER YOU SHOULDN’T REFUSE.

Coming tomorrow…The Godfather decided to look into my crystal ball and pick the players I think are the ones to have to win the Pre Game Warm Ups, so I’ll post them tomorrow. And you’ll see the Godfather team(s) in the rankings all year…see if you can field a team that’s better than mine!

Today’s picks

Well here’s an interesting fact, both pitchers I have in my Snap Draft lineup have never given up a home run to a player on the opposing team (Actually there are 5 that fit this today!) CC Sabathia vs the Royals and Jon Garland vs the Bucs!

I’m glad Mark Teixeira has decided to return from the birth of his child to play tonight, as he owns Bruce Chen; .643 Avg with 6 HRs. Maybe he’ll hit one for mom and the baby!

Congratulations to The Dude, who beat the Godfather yesterday.

And the five others…it wasn’t a good day. But that’s the fun of SnapDraft, today’s another day…and I think i have a dynamite line-up!

Today’s picks

Cliff Lee, tough call against the Yankees, but he’s the best pitcher going tonight…and Barry Zito against the Cubs, without Lee and Soto, the vet should have the Cub rookies guessing!

Solid hitters with hot guys, Scott, Cuddyer and Uggla, so it will take your best to beat me tonight.

SnapDraft for Tuesday, 8/10

Charlie Wiegert — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 21:51:14 +0000

Congratulations to Dan Brown, who beat the Godfather yesterday.

I hate being 2^nd!

Today’s picks

Tim Lincecum and Ubaldo Jimenez…pitching is the key to winning Snap Draft, and when you have two studs who are going well, it’s better to take them than try to find someone better!

With them, I’ll have to find a couple money savers, so my 2 long shots today are Todd Helton, and Buster Posey. Helton has good numbers against Mike Pelfrey, and Posey has been consistent. Speaking of money savers, Carlos Gonzalez is a no brainer also!
