Funny how the NL Central always finds a way to bunge up this pool. Either the Cubs somehow get into the postseason, everyone picks them, and they get swept; or the Cards look strong, everybody picks Pujols, and he hits two flares to short center and THEY get swept; or the Cards look like also-rans and nobody picks them and they go to the Series. Bastards.
Anyway. Following Milwaukee's unexpected departure, we lost the following picks:
MIL
Braun, R
Fielder, P
Gallardo, Y
Greinke, Z
Marcum, S
And a bunch of poolites lost their entire slates...including a couple of people currently in the money. I considered leaving those folks in for a game or two, just to see how it goes, but unless Ian Kinsler is beaten to death with CJ Wilson's arm, it's just not going to be possible for anyone with no picks left to win anything. So, if your slate got blanked, you will no longer appear in the updates.
Leaving us:
pick twins Reid 1 and Green
Green
Tim
BSD
Keith
Costa
Pepper
Congrats on getting this far, and I hope we'll see you next year.
For the few, the proud, the pickers of CJ Wilson still standing, rest up -- we'll see you back here Wednesday for the first game of the World Series in St. Louis.

I see how it is. Sheebell conveniently left of the list. Straight prejudice against the Redbirds. No love for a scrappy midmarket club.
Correction: OFF the list. The prejudice may be justified as the Cardinal Nation seems to be illiterate.
I just wanted to join in and contribute anonymously.

(ooops.)
Yes, you were left off the list...of eliminated picks. Because you were not eliminated. LEARN TO READ, CARD BOY.
(PS but seriously: Pujols/STL won me the pool the first year. Respect.)
