okay, bracket time again (here’s a link to last year’s game). i’m not married to the scoring, so if anyone has any strong ideas about it, let me know.
(don't forget to guess who wins game 163 for an extra bonus point. respond to the post in the cup of coffee. deadline is monday, 7:07pm CT)
Wild Card Game 1 pt.
ALDS/NLDS 2 pts. (best of 5)
ALCS/NLCS 4 pts.
World series 6 pts.
AL Wild Card Game (One game playoff)
TB/TEX v. CLE
NL Wild Card Game (One game playoff)
CIN v. PIT
ALDS (1) (Best of 5)
___ v. BOS
ALDS (2) (Best of 5)
DET v. OAK
NLDS (1) (Best of 5)
___ v. STL
NLDS (2) (Best of 5)
ATL v. LAD
so, reply to this post with your picks, all spoilered like, please. be sure to include the score to the wild card games (3 points instead of 1 if you guess right), and the number of games played for each series (x2 points of you guess right)

just in case, i noted in the CoC post that game 163 will be treated as a separate bonus point from the bracket. if you pick one team to win game 163 and they lose, you can hand in your bracket tomorrow with the other team factored in. getting tonight's pick wrong is no detriment to your bracket other than the missed chance of a bonus point.
CC to Beau: need wild card game scores.
brainfarts. Obviously I meant
I'm first looking at these now.
You expecting the NLDSs to have tie games or something?
Alright, geez, sorry guys. I'll put mine in the right spot.
wait, what? cheaps, are you cribbing off of me?
Other way around. I totally put mine in the wrong place an hour and a half before yours.
Updated.
btw, did the Angels somehow mug the Dodgers and get in instead? That's not going to make AMR happy...
ahh, now i see it.
ooops. Well, you all know what I meant.
MLB didn't expand the LDSs did they? That's two folks picking 6 and 7 game series.

*UPDATED to the best of my ability. sorry I futzed it up*
Holy balls. Other than the length of the NLCS and the scores of the WC games, I think we're identical.
OK, No. I had two LDSs being sweeps but you had them as 4-gamers and your sweep was my 4-gamer.
CC to GreekHouse: wild card game scores.
SEND HIM!!!
I have very little time today, so these are being made with almost no thought whatsoever:
That's how I did it. That's how we roll here. 🙂
I didn't forget!
I just want to point out that I am tied for first place* in this competition. For posterity.
*At least I think nobody picked the correct score.
brackets are closed.
i'll be creating the standings in a bit. i will be basing it off of this information. anyone has any reservations, they can go pound sand.
I think I might already have more points than I did last year.
You have tripled your point total so far.
Where's the spreadsheet again?
Added it to the inner sidebar on the front page.
Thanks.
Awesome, thanks.
yeah, thanks, sean. seriously, what idiot left the only posted link in a game log from days ago?
so, do I have to pound sand, or can those of us who somehow predicted the Division Series to go longer than 5 games revise their series length predictions to something that is actually possible?
Somehow I did both NL series as though they were best-of-seven, despite choosing appropriate lengths for the AL series. I'd like to revise my predictions to (max length minus one) for the Dodgers and (max length) for Pitt.
They should do that!
I like it that there are little differences between the AL and NL.
Have the AL with a 5-game LDS series and the NL with a 7-game series!
The AL could use the extra day to have a 4-team wildcard play-in!
It seems that the WC games didn't affect that many folk too badly.
wattsy excluded. Ouch. At least no one has failed their LCS picks yet.
speaking of, i should note that i just saw this LTE from wattsy. i had told him if he got his series length numbers to me before the game on wednesday, i'd include them (i let another citizen amend an omission, so figured it was fair enough).
i see now that he did so, so i've updated his bracket.
