Before Magic Mike and Magic Mike XXL - and before you ask, yes there was such a time...and why do you demarcate things around such a movie? God, you're weird - there was The Full Monty. The Full Monty was about a bunch of white guys who took off their clothes for money, just like Magic Mike. It was also a comedy, just like Magic Mike. Serious question: why is it so damn funny when a white guy takes his clothes off? I mean, we weren't SUPPOSED to laugh when Showgirls did it...even though we did because if we didn't laugh, we'd cringe. It seems racist and misandrist to me, but then I just stripped in front of the mirror myself and even I had to laugh. What is wrong with me and the world...well, that was a short-lived moment of self-awareness and poignancy, so let's talk about Mike Montgomery instead. Admittedly, there's not much to see here in terms of season stats since he's really only been a spot starter and a middle relief arm for most of the year. That said, he's only been in the rotation for three games with the Cubs and from the looks of it, I wouldn't say the Cubs are going to suppress his pitch count when you factor in the 91 he threw against the Dodgers just a start prior. Basically, here's what I see: a guy with a K/9 in the 8 range, going against a team with a K% in the 25 range, at a price point in the $4,300 range. Ok, $4,300 isn't a range, it's his exact salary and that salary plays gloriously into punt range. Really, if he returns you 16 DK points - which, with a win, is very within reach - you're gonna be absolutely fine cuz he let you beef up elsewhere. Hell, you could even throw a few more dollars into some dude's golden lame thong if you're into that thing. Just don't laugh when you do, it hurts my feelings...I mean THEIR feelings! So with that, let's move on to this. Here's my thunder from down under taeks for this Wednesday DK slate...
