Attention Lemmy's Friends

We've got a good number of fellow bloggers listed on our blogroll, making multiple sports and sports betting bloggers friends of our very own Lemmy. 

In order to give more exposure to those blogs updated more frequently, blogs listed under the Lemmy's Friends section on the right hand side of the blog are now listed by those most recently updated rather than alphabetically. 

The only problem is that somehow we managed to screw it up. Many blogs or sites that we had listed (we would guess about seven or so) did not fit the format that would allow for updates and would rather sit at the end of the blogroll, which would be fine if we didn't accidently exclude them from the listing entirely. 

If you are one of those blogs, or any other fellow bloggers interested in a link exchange, or an advertiser willing to pay us big bucks for us to post a link seperate from the blogroll, please contact us at stocklemonblog@gmail.com.

Some MLB Futures to Ponder


We were looking at some MLB Futures today and saw a couple of frontrunners at decent value. 

As many of you know, since Jenn Sterger became a fan of our Stock Lemon Facebook page, we try tie her in to anything and everything that we do that can even remotely be traced to her, hence the picture of her wearing a Cubs hat. 

This, of course, ties in to this particular post because we really see value in the Cubs odds to win the NL Central. 1/2 odds don't seem like a great value now, but come July you'll be glad you got on the Cubs when you did. 

With the Brewers (11/2) likely to fall from the high brought on by last year's Wild Card appearance, we see the Cardinals (3/1) as the only real threat for the NL Central crown. In the end, the Cubs are just too good to let either of these teams take the division. We're not saying they'll win it all this year, in fact we'd strongly persuade you not to make a bet that crazy, but the division should be all theirs. 

Meanwhile, the AL East appeals to us as well. The division boasts the three headed monster that is the Red Sox (7/5), Rays (5/1), and Yankees (6/5). After being the odd team out last year, the Yankees made some major free agent upgrades--and for once spent their money wisely. We like the Yankees to get back to the playoffs via the division crown. 

We don't have a system to support us in these predictions, just, we think, a little common sense.

So go ahead Tweeters, follow us on the newest social networking craze around!

No Plays Today

We were hoping we would have another Free NCAA Basketball Pick in the tourney today, but unfortunately, that isn't the case. 

As you all know, we don't force picks if they don't fit the system--though we might give an exception and at least post our leans in the Final Four.

Villanova Gives Us Another Win

Villanova took a thriller from Pittsburgh, hitting the game-winning shot with half a second left to advance to the Final Four and cover the +2 spread. 

Stay with us as our Free NCAA Basketball Picks continue to hit during the NCAA Tournament. 

An Elite Free Pick

As we continue to title our posts based on what stage of the NCAA Tournament we're in, we have on more Free NCAA Basketball Pick today. 

Villanova +2 over Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh is playing with house money the way they've been winning games, and we liked this one when we saw that it showed value in our system. Villanova should prove too much for the Panthers.

Good luck!

How Sweet it Was

Oklahoma advanced to the Elite Eight tonight, winning their Sweet Sixteen match-up against Syracuse tonight, 84-71. 

By doing so, the Sooners covered the -1 spread, improving our Free NCAA Basketball Picks to 8-7 (or 9-6 depending on when you got on one of our last games) during the NCAA Tournament.
