LAD 4, CHC 1

First, let me note the heroic pun work being done by the MLB.com homepage crew. "LA-'88 Show"? It's so bad it's good. 

Lester was not bad, but the points totals were not good for Cubs pickers, since he's the only one who got a TB...and it still didn't offset the 5 BB.

Turner was great; I'm always happy to see him do well. I knew he'd kick ass if he got a chance with some other team. If he'd stayed with the Mets he'd be...dead, probably.

The points:

Bellinger 3
Turner 5 (and pool vets may remember/be annoyed by how walk-offs used to get a bonus)

Hill 7

Lester -2 (2K - 5BB + 1TB)

Money's shifted slightly:

83 Shotwell 2
78 Yuhan 2
72 Bauer Noobs, Zombie Stempel

71 Williams, Shotwell 1

68 Cooley, Currie 1
61 Zombunting

mid- to high 50s: Brady, Tormey, Drake 1, Winklepleck
low 50s: Bingham 1, MArbour 2, the Reid slates, Ansell

40s: Powell, Camerons 1, Bingham 2

high 30s: Drake 2, Simone, Camerons 2, JArbour, Elodie
low 30s: Dunn, Bunting 2, MArbour 1, Currie 2

Attendance Award: Bauer Rematch

We're back underway at 8 PM with Astros at Yankees, Morton v. Sabathia. Nobody picked the latter, understandably, but he's a steadying guy to have going when you're down 2-0. Of course, these pronouncements on my part have led to the exact opposite occurring, so sorry in advance, Carsten, and I'll just keep quiet about Currie 1's slate making its big move.

I didn't pick Puig because he's a doofus.
Or maybe because he's a jerk.
Your mileage may vary.
Anyway, I didn't pick Puig.
*sigh* At least I'm still in it.
