TOR 4, SEA 3; Blue Jays move on

I just keep thinking about all the Bsky posts asking plaintively for a Game 8. It was a nail-biter, fun as hell, and I'm happy for the Jays...but man, it would be nice for Seattle to get to a Classic, ever.

And for half the pool not to get kneecapped, but we have to live in this world.

Last LCS points, with knocked-out picks in italics...

Arozarena 1
Canzone 0
Crawford 2
Naylor 1
Polanco 1
Raleigh 4
JRod 6
Suarez 1

Bichette 0
Guerrero Jr. 1
Kirk 1
Schneider 0
Springer 4

MVP for us, unsurprisingly, is Vladdy. LVP...I don't know, I guess Canzone, but if you're looking at expectations vs. performance, you could argue it's Arozarena. (Schneider didn't notch a TB this series, but wasn't getting at-bats; what can you do.) Barger and Clement looking likely for the Victorino if a Dodger doesn't steal it from them.

But that's a problem for the weekend. Now, we're looking at the money. Here again, italics mean the slate has no picks left, and will fall out of the updates going forward.

Sooooo, yeah. Lots of slates out -- this was the biggest hit the pool was going to take in 2025; at least it didn't happen sooner -- and lots with only one player left, but we'll see how it plays out, like we always do. My condolences to Mariner fans and to the pickers who got kiboshed; thanks for joining us this year, obviously feel free to kibbitz in the comments.

And now, the off days, which you should use to check my math/inputting, as always (I had a long day, it was a tense game, etc.) -- and I'll see you back here Friday for Game 1 of the Series.
