I'm sad for Kershaw; I'm really sad for Yu Darvish; I'm sending mazels to the future Mrs. Correa, and thoughts and prayers for the stress injury she's going to get from that boulder on her left hand; and I'm basically content with this outcome. I went into the postseason wanting the Dodgers to win this, but these Astros won me over, and congrats to them and their fans.
Now if one of said fans could send me a cold compress, because literally everyone got in the game last night and the pointage is going to get crazy, that would be great.
Tough day at the office for the Dodgers, who looked worn out and heavy at the plate, but a surprising number of points racked up on the L.A. side, to wit:
Correa 1
Springer 6
Morton 3
Seager 1
Turner 1
Darvish -1, sigh
Kershaw 2
Wood 3
And now, the final(-ish) standings!

148 Shotwell 2
141 Cooley
130 Shotwell 1

Scrambling with work stuff over here today, but I will cross-check the stats tomorrow, post a few thoughts on MVPs, LVPs, and Shane Victorinos -- and of course send out the winners' filthy lucre, which with 33 slates comes to $231 for first place, $66 for second, and $33 for third.
Until I get to the wrap-up, feel free to spend the time checking my arithmetic; gloating/fuming in the comments; and pouring one out for the end of another baseball season. Congrats to our winners and thanks to everyone for making another postseason agonizingly fun!

In honor of Houston, please donate my meager winnings to Harvey relief (no, not the relief you and I need from Matt, but other kind). I of course will take the credit on my taxes :)
Personally, I was rooting for Houston as I like an organization, albeit one built on several years of hard tanking, building (mostly) from within with a moderate payroll, especially when they had never won before, and other than Kershaw, I really wasn't pulling for anyone on L.A. (sorry Grandy, Beltran deserved it more).
As a Dodger fan, today is a little rough, but Houston certainly deserved to win that game. I just wanted to say thanks as always for running the pool, as always!
(I mean it so much I repeated it twice in one sentence! See? Rough day for Dodger fans.)
Big thank you to Sarah for organizing and doing all the maths; BPP always makes the postseason more fun!
Thanks so much for organizing this pool! It's really fun and I am grateful to participate in it.
You're very welcome, guys! I love doing it. Update shortly.
