You have already used Pittsburgh on Day 24. You have Minnesota and Toronto left in the stable.

[Action Boy]

cpawonder is in the drivers seat as he finished Phase III at 23-7 as he won with the Marlins last night. He rattled off 7 in a row as he sat at 16-7 - his last 4 winners were the bottom feeders of baseball. Speedo lost a chance at winning Phase III as he took the Marlins as well, but he did wrap up the YTD bet as he ousted Govbarney and Action Boy.

Motherscratcher has to win his final two picks to force a Wednesday playoff. He has Toronto tonight and Miami on Wednesday. If Toronto wins tonight, cpawonder and Motherscratcher are required to submit their tiebreaker picks before the start of Wednesday's 1st game.

[swerb]

Outstanding stuff CPA. What a run. You are always a formidable competitor in this pool.

Been another fun season of this fellas. 17, 17, and 20 wins for me. Not enough. Couldn't sustain winning streaks late in phases despite pretty strong stables.

[motherscratcher]

Yesterday, when I switched my pick off of the Marlins, are we really sure that was legal? Looking back on it I don't think switching my pick after it was made should have been allowed.

[cpawonder]

I don't know if I was glad or mad that you switched the pick, but I was happy in the end last night. I have never been forced to watch such bad baseball so intently. (Including Saturday night's 14 innings of misery. )

[tpcatfox]

Final pick of the phase...Great Year

Looking forward to the playoffs

tpcatfox.....Arizona

[Action Boy]

For the 3rd straight phase we are looking at a potential playoff. Motherscratcher must win with the Marlins to force a playoff. Same scenario as Phase II when Action Boy needed a Marlins win to force a playoff. The result was a Marlins loss to the Padres - what will the Marlins do today??

All tiebreaker picks must be submitted by 12:35 p.m. - the start of the 1st game.

Fucking Marlins. Why did I have to open my big mouth on Monday? I had the clean sweep on the tiebreaker too. Oh well, I'm banking on something really good to come from this loss.

Congrats CPA, glad I could make it interesting for you!

[cpawonder]

Thanks fellas...great phase...great pool!

Thanks for changing your pick on monday motherscratcher! I did not want this to go to a playoff!!


Thanks for running the pool AB...and thank you swerb for putting the marlins up as a lock yesterday! (your record has to be impressive at this!)

[motherscratcher]

Yeah, I took my pick off Monday be because they sat Josh Johnson for some schmuck, and Beuhrle was scheduled Wednesday. Then yesterday Beuhrle was nowhere to be found and all that was left was some super schmuck who wasn't good enough to be monday's schmuck.

I would always just make a pick and then check the next day to see what happened. My problems started when I started paying attention.
