NYM 4, CHC 2

Justin Turner has been replaced in the Shane Victorino Memorial Why Didn't We Pick That Guy running by Mr. Schwarber. It wasn't quite enough, however, as Durph continued to roll and the Mets/"windy Citi" took the opener. I didn't see/hear much of the game live thanks to another commitment, but I'm hoping this means Trav is off the schneid semi-permanently. Maniel can't do everything, y'all.

Points!

Your current top three slates have something in common: 1) one pitcher pick left each, and 2) all those picks went last night, so this is not out of reach for a bunch of y'all. If your slate's AL-heavy, though, you might have to wait. Tonight, it's Arrieta vs. Thor at 8 PM, which means we'll have an all new leaderboard tomorrow provided the visitors' clubhouse doesn't get hit by lightning. You just never know what's going to happen in Flushing.

A set of parallel train tracks is postseason+x games long.
On one of the tracks, Postseason Train 1 (The Cespedes, Duda & Mendoza) leaves the station at 5mph. On the opposite end of the track, Postseason Train 2 (The Durph-Why-Didn’t-I-Pick-Him-In-The-Pool) leaves at Holy-Cow-Postseason o’clock. If Train 1 doesn’t start choking up on the gol-durn bat, and Train 2 is required to hand over his soul to Lucifer in November as per his deal, during which game will @Ann_Margrock bust a lung from all the yelling, swearing and general harrumphing because she got on the wrong Bunting’s Postseason Pool train?

(If I had been a Math professor instead of an English professor, I might have had a fighting chance in solving this problem earlier.)
