Crick's Picks: NHL, NBA, & MLB - 5/9/25

Well yesterday was an ABSOLUTE DISASTER Folks!! Spoiler Alert... I'll probably be a little FIRED UP on "Crick's Corner" Today!! It felt like we couldn't hit water if we fell out of a boat in the middle of the Gulf of 'Merica, yesterday!! The Golden State Warriors are DEAD TO ME I SAY!! Ya gotta love when ya BET THE FARM on a team's TT Over, and they proceed to score 15 POINTS in the 1st Quarter of a PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL GAME!! I don't care who you are... THAT'S HOT TRASH!! I went against my gut on the ice & IT BIT ME!! That's TWO ABYSMAL DAYS IN A ROW on the ice, and the "Ice Gods" continue to be the BANE OF MY EXISTENCE!! Hockey is like that girlfriend who keeps cheatin on ya, but ya keep taking her back!! Sometimes bad things happen to me because I'm a DUMBASS!! Shout out to Red Forman!! The Diamond was the LONE BRIGHT SPOT yesterday, as we did end up POSITIVE about 1.5 Units in Baseball. However, that was the ONLY THING that went right yesterday, and we finished the night DOWN about 7.5 Units!! I just threw up in my mouth a little, while typing that... With that said, I'm not sure what to tell ya to do with my picks today My Friends.... I know I'M COMIN' OUT SWINGIN', but I very well may just BE ON TILT!! Only time will tell!! I'm FIRING AT EM Today though!! WHAT COULD GO WRONG!?!?! You & Your Beautiful Families STAY SAFE Out There!!! Good Luck & Good Gamblin!!!!
