The Picks

Voila -- les picks! I misspoke in my email; we did have duplicates last year, and we have a couple of dupe slates this year as well. We'll see whether that makes any difference, because it usually doesn't matter.

Most popular team pick: PHI, for the second year in a row. Miguel Cabrera is the most popular player pick, interestingly. (Even more interestingly: a couple of people finally wised up and picked the Flyin' Hawaiian, who usually ends up racking up total bases in the postseason while the pool stands by all "God-DAMMIT why didn't we pick that guy." Which...probably means he'll bust out this year. Heh.)

Doc Halladay and Cliff Lee tied for top pitcher pick. Hope you were sitting down for that one. Heh.

Full list of picks is below. Please email/comment on any mistakes you see, and watch this space for scheduling and updates. (And for a different, less microscopic font. Sorry! This is a problem every year.)

Also! Pool kickoff/beerfest at Cody's on Court St. in Brooklyn, tomorrow night. Come! Drink! Heckle!
