Just like everyone doubted Kirk Gibson was going to play. If he needs to pitch, he'll pitch. |

1. verndogs - 22 pts (11-3) +2 pts; today: 1-1 record
3. Protege - 19 pts (9-5) +0 pts; today: 0-2 record.
3(+1). Eddie N MIAMI - 19 pts (9-5) +2 pts; today: 1-1 record

7(+3). Dj Smitty20 - 13 pts (6-8) +2 pts; today: 1-1 record.
8. Acid Circus - 12 pts (6-8) +0 pts; today: 0-2 record.
8. Mebot - 12 pts (6-8) +0 pts; today: 0-2 record
8. SlackerBoy9 - 12 pts (6-8) +0 pts; today: 0-2 record.
11. Shamez214 - 6 pts (3-11) +0 pts; today: 0-2 record.
------------------
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 :stongue:
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 :stongue: ;)
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! |

Click here to see TA Playoff Pool Selections
ALCS Picks:
Best Picks (current ranking in terms of chances at success - in brackets is chosen winner).
If Yankees will win today, then participants under B, followed by D (in success priority order) will benefit the most.
If Angels will win, then participants under A, followed by C (in success priority order) will benefit the most in this pool.
Of course, this also depends on other factors (ex. NLCS).
A. Angels vs. White Sox - dj2kTA (White Sox), Protege (White Sox), verndogs (Angels)
B. Yankees vs. White Sox - Eddie N MIAMI (Yankees)
C. Angels vs. Red Sox - Acid Circus (Red Sox),Mebot (Angels) <-- best chance for this group, Shamez214 (Red Sox), SlackerBoy9 (Red Sox)
D. Yankees vs. Red Sox - Dj Smitty20 (Yankees), Magnetonium (Yankees), Member of X (Yankees)

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 :disbelief 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. |
