Walter Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Alright, I’ll count - if you pick. Rules: By Monday night, April 2nd (which should’ve been Opening Day anyway) pick who you think will win each division, and two wild card teams from each league. You will earn 1 point per win and, at the end of the season, earn 5 points for each wild card pick and 10 points per division champ you pick. You can still earn 5 points if you pick a division winner who only gets the wild card. Anyone and everyone are welcome. It’ll be fun!

paul carruthers Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Thanks Walt, for picking up the slack on this one.

NL East - Mets Central - Cubs West - G-Men (I hope they don't pummel me like last year)... Wild Cards - Dodgers, Nats AL East - The Sawx Central - Indians West - Astros Wild Cards - Detroit, Texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the O’s though... Ha. Thanks. Last nights game I loved. Loved it. Buck Showalter 2 Boone 0. And even though Tillman has been horrible, its just April and we have a bullpen today. The Yankees do not. ps I realize Yankees have injuries but none are bigger than Trumbo for us. If we have Trumbo last night that game is over sooner Edited April 7, 2018 by LedZeppfan1977 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul carruthers Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 At the bottom, or near the bottom; I'm not sure what the hell happened, except the G-Men are biting me in the ass like last year. All of my other picks seem kosher. I'm going to fret about this all night, maybe--or the whole month... 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything for you, my dear. 😘 I’ve always enjoyed doing baseball statistics as a kid. Not quite the same, but still fun. It’ll get more interesting at the end of the season when division champs/wild cards are fought out. Such a long haul... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no doubt many of these guys have quit but for Machado and Gausman. Gausman pitched two gems in a row and gets nothing. A 9 inning shutout. And they score a big fat 0. Only Machado is hitting and playing. Showalter must be fed up. I just do not know where the problems started. They are better than this. They have been a playoff team 3 of the last 5 years. Yet here they sit with the same record as the Reds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
