MIL 9, ARI 4

Arizona isn't looking like they can hold up against MIL's offensive attack. We'll see what happens at Chase Field, but for now, big points for MIL pickers:

MIL: 5

Braun, R: 7
Fielder, P: 1
Upton, J: 4

Greinke, Z: 12

Money leaders are now Keith, Aaron 2, Sheriff Joe One, and Greensy.

DET 5, NYY 3

Cabrera rewards his pickers and Detroit stays alive. The points:

DET: 3

Cabrera, M: 6
Cano, R: 1
Granderson, C: 4
Martinez, V: 1
Swisher, N: 4

Keith, Aaron 2, and Warren 2 in the lead currently.

NYY 9, DET 3

Tigers and Yanks dodge the raindrops for an NYY blowout in the nightcap. Remembering that Verlander and Sabathia pickers already had their points assigned, here's the points for this game:

NYY: 5

Cano, R: 8
Granderson, C: 1
Martinez, V: 1
Swisher, N: 1
Teixeira, M: 2

Nova, I: 7.33 (seems like it should have been more, but...4 BB)

Again, if any of these stats look funny, please email or comment. Mistakes happen; just read last year's archives. My source is MLB.com if the numbers look right but you just want to look things up yourself.

Current standings after the jump.

TEX 8, TB 6

That series is now tied 1-1, with points as follows:

TEX: 3

Hamilton, J: 1
Kinsler, I: 3
Longoria, E: 4
Young, M: 2


No pitcher points here. Aaron 2, Warren 2, and Ben 2 in the money currently.

PHI 11, STL 6: Everybody on the board

I missed most of the game proper. On the plus side, my parents picked a restaurant that had the game on the TV. On the minus side...mute. Boo. The Cards tried to mount a top-of-the-ninth comeback, but fell short, and the Phils got the blowout.

But all poolies are now on the board, with lots of points to go around in the sunset game:

PHI: 5 (3 W + 2 blowout)

Howard, R: 4
Pence, H: 2
Pujols, A not screwing his pickers totally for once: 1
Utley, C: 5 (where'd that come from?)
Victorino, S: 3

Halladay, R: 15 (8 IP + 8 K - 1 BB)

Aaron 2, Warren 2, and Keith currently in the money, with Ben 2, Jill Hate, and the Mariae not far off the pace.

MIL 4, ARI 1

All righty! NLDS underway with a win for MIL. Just very quickly, your points and your temporary leaders before the evening games get going...

MIL: 3

Braun, R: 4
Fielder, P: 6
Upton, J: 1

Gallardo, Y: 16 (8 IP + 9 K - 1 BB)
Kennedy, I: 8.67

The current leaderboard: Aaron 2, Keith, and Ben 2. Sure to change after tonight's action.

corrected 10/2/11 with accurate final score -- thanks, Keith

DET 1, NYY 1 (ppd)

Okay, so: according to MLB.com, Detroit-New York Game 1 resumes tomorrow night at the time previously reserved for Game 2 -- and tonight's starters, Verlander and Sabathia, will not return. Sooooo, obviously nobody gets game points, because nobody won, but pickers who had Verlander and/or Sabathia will take their innings/points, as follows:

Verlander: ooh, 0 (1 IP + 1 K - 2 BB)
Sabathia: 6

No TB points eligible.

Standings at the end of a weird Day 1:
Aaron 2, Sarah 2, John, Joe Reid 2, and Jill Love -- 10
Joe Costa 1 -- 8
Warren 1 -- 7
Keith, Warren 2, Tim 2, Dave -- 6
Aaron 1 -- 3
Sheehan/Bell -- 2

Tomorrow's slate, after the jump.
