MIL 3, CHC 1; Brewers move on

Uecker magic indeed! I spent the game under a sleeping cat, reading magazines; also magical. I doubt Cub fans feel that way, or that this Chicago team ever got its due this year, but: baseball, man.

Last LDS points coming up; Cub picks in italics, as you know.

Busch 1
Hoerner 1

Chourio 0
Frelick 1
Turang 4
Yeli 0

I know his team lost, but you've got to give the MVP here to Busch -- more TB in this series than Chourio -- and I'm afraid the LVP is Yelich. Yeah, Frelick has fewer TB, but Frelick was fully a Vic pick and is doing roughly what you'd expect from him. (The actual Victorino candidate out of Milwaukee is Vaughn.)

The departure of the Cubs picks, as well as they did for their pickers, means the departure of one more slate, which you'll see in italics here as well, and then it too will depart the full updates; sorry, T.O.

The money at the end of division-series play:

50 Bauer Snoozical
49 Shotwell 1
47 Cameron Second

46 DGB
45 Mectomy and Yuhan
43 AK Uno, Quinn, and Izzo

Everyone else after the jump!

42 Mopsiukas 1
41 Bingham Prime

39 Green and Fell 1
38 Winklepleck 1 and AK Dos 
37 Cameron First
36 Wonsetler 1 and Drake 2

35 MArbour 1 and Shotwell 2
34 Dunn 2 and Reid Alpha
33 Crase AL and O'Reilly
32 Wonsetler 2
31 Reid Omega
30 Bauer Fun

27 The Estros and Dunn 1
26 Fell 2, Drake 1, JArbour, MArbour 2, and Brady

23 Tormey
22 Bingham Emo
21 Quinn 1

19 Winklepleck 2
17 Mopsiukas 2
13 SDB Prayers

Relatively few slates lost going into the LCSes...although, with a couple of exceptions (still-complete slates that have underperformed; slates with "solos"), it doesn't look great for pickers who haven't broken 30 points yet. 

But you never know with the BPP. Sometimes just staying alive until the World Series is enough to earn out. We'll see!

And we'll start seeing tomorrow night! SEA/TOR kicks off the ALCS at 8 PM ET, Miller v. Gausman. Until then, check my math and typing -- I caught three mistakes just since starting this sentence -- and good luck as always...
