------------------
Notes:
Noone has picked Astros in 4 (in fact, everyone who picked them to win, selected in 5 games) - noone receives the extra point!

Protege fails to collect a gameday point for the first time on this pool.

DJ Smitty20 and Eddie N MIAMI are only participants to slightly move up in standings today.

After Braves' early exit, Shamez214 is eliminated from winning this pool - tough luck! He will still collect points, however, if any are applicable

Ha! Awesome! Oh well... There's always next year when I'm able to pick the Mets to go all the way.

Hehe

Remember when I said earlier that you either were going to win big or lose big? Well, next year just make sure you flip the right side of the coin on this matter

So far there are no clear-cut favourites to win this pool - I still need to know if Yankees will win tomorrow to calculate that!

Can anyone tell me at what time NLCS Game 1 starts coming wednesday?

I'm guessing 8 pm ET, but I also read 1 pm somewhere...

I can feel my comments about the Astros made on the first few pages of this thread coming back to haunt me!

I took this pic outside Yankee Stadium on Friday

so I can't really win this pool can I, since if the Yankees lose, only the Cards will be left from my original picks? Ah well...I don't think anybody thought the BoSox would get swept and I shouldn't have underestimated the Astros.

Picks for Game 5 tonight? I say Yanks in a tight game...maybe 4-3 with Rivera closing out two innings again...as long as Moose doesn't bomb it.

One thing for sure, you'll NEED Yankees to win tonight, or else you'll finish in the middle of the pack Same probably for me, even though I got both series in NL right. The reason why is because a lot of TAs here picked the Cardinals, so they are getting the same points as me from NL. Without Yankees win tonight, I'll be probably eliminated from winning this pool too ...

im not sure who's going to win but what a call by that ump. as my dad put it, "its just a case of an ump wanting to make a call." i know some people are going to disagree but as cano was coming down the line erstad was blocking the outside part of the bag and it looked like the only play for cano was to go to the inside part to avoid a collision. very controversial call. i know as the runner you are supposed to stay in the box but i think a no call would have been better.
