Say what? I wasnt watching the game, though I know the result.

Angels are in, thats good for my picks here but I'd rather have my White Sox playing the Yanks. The Angels' pitching is damn good.

Let the games begin

That very well could've been the deciding factor in the ballgame (aside from Crosby and Sheffield colliding in the 2nd inning)...

I'm going to check the NYTA forums and see how they're reacting to this call.

I'll update the Pool Standings with all the stats and all in a few minutes. Prepare for the big moment of who's gonna need who to win in next series ... I'll try to put up detailed statistics!

Also great job by Ervina Santana, phenomenal pitching job for the rookie keeping the Yankees' bats silent until Jeter's walk off homer in the 7th.

They're not. No one seems to care. It's like they all knew the Yankees were going to lose.

Ehhh... they have a good bullpen. But that's about it. I don't like their starters at all, beyond Washburn.

well hopefully that rings true and the Sox offense can break through. I wonder how seriously Colon is hurt. That'd be huge for the Sox if he's not as effective as usual.

Points System for League Championship Round:

Each game won by the Chosen Team (4 POINTS) - if you have any in this round!

Runner-up Points (per win) 2 POINTS - points per win for the team that you picked to advance to this round, but didnt select it to advance to the next round.

Each correct series match-up prediction (3 POINTS)
Chosen team wins the series (1 POINT)
Series won in exact number of games by the Chosen Team (1 POINT) - this applies to the Chosen Team to WIN in that round - that is, if it had made it this far!


Current favourites to win this pool (current rank):

#1. dj2kTA: if White Sox and Cardinals win, he has a strong shot at winning the pool.

#2. Protege: same as dj2kTA, however, in the World Series, he will need his Cardinals to win. Then it will be a close finish. Unless Cardinals win in 6 games or less!

#3. verndogs: needs Angels AND Astros to pull off tremendous upsets - highly unlikely at this moment.

#4. Mebot: even though he is currently looking far behind the leaderboard, if both Cardinals and Angels make the World Series and Angels go deep there (they MUST!), he has a strong chance at winning this thing.

Eliminated from winning the pool:
