STL 10, TEX 9

That...is why we watch baseball. A. May. Zing. Texas alone had three blown saves; utter madness. Loved it. And I have to spend Game 7 basically watching it go down on Twitter at a work event, ARGH.

Everyone picked up points somewhere, pretty much, as follows:

STL: 5 (3 for the W, 2 for the extra innings)

Beltre, A: 4
Hamilton, J: 6
Kinsler, I: 3
Pujols, A: 2
Young, M: 3

No change in the standings, but Sheehan/Bell widened their lead, and Jill Love needs to pray that Kinsler is confined to a single or she might fall out of the money, even with a Texas win tonight.


And even a Texas win does not necessarily knock Sheehan/Bell out of the lead. Their pitcher is going tonight (short rest, granted, but still); everyone else has CJ, who isn't starting. Pujols could warm back up again. Jill has no hitters left; Aaron and Bunting have the same slate left. It's down to the wire!

And then it's four dark months of baseball-less purgatory, but let's think about that later. For now, the relevant parties:

Sheehan/Bell: 205.33
Jill Love: 192
Aaron 2: 191.67
Bunting: 190.34

And everyone else at least 20 points off the pace and therefore functionally out of it.

Cash on the table, tonight, 8 PM. See you back here tomorrow for payouts! (And if you see any math mistakes, now is the time to point them out.)
