HOU 5, BOS 4; Red Sox eliminated

#fyeahbaseball

I'd like to dedicate this entry to all those dinguses who say baseball is boring...and to Dunn, whose agonized texts were a poem this afternoon.

And if it makes y'all Sox pickers feel any better, eeeeeeehhhh-verybody got some points...except Verlander pickers, who went negative.

Buckle up, here's the points:

Bregman 4
Correa 1
Springer 4

Morton 4
Verlander -2, ugh

Benintendi 5
Betts 1

Sale 6

Leaving us:

Benintendi
Betts
Price
Sale

Sale gave the money slates a big boost on his way out the door...but out the door he's going, so while this elimination probably has the smallest net effect on the pool team-wise, the money isn't going to stay where it is for long.

At the moment, your leaders are

48 Williams
46 Winklepleck and Currie 1
45 Shotwell 2

A handful of others in striking distance, none of whom has Scherzer. Guess we'll see!

Please check my arithmetic if you'd like. It's a safe and fun alternative to gnawing off your cuticles.

Agreed. I am not pleased with Verlander at the moment!

I gave him one last seat at my BPP table this year. He is now shunned.

That poetry was courtesy of being stuck in traffic and having to listen to Chris Berman. Pure agony, but the finest art comes from tremendous pain, right?
