PHI: 3

Hamels, C: 9.33

We've got a new leader. Your current money-finishers:
Kim: 93
Ben Prime: 88
Maria Prime: 87.33
Followed by Lauren, Aaron, and Maria II (low 80s); Matt, Tim, and Warren (high 70s); Sarah, Ben II, and Stephen (low 70s); and LJ, Tom, Joe, John, and Jill in the low 60s or below.
It's worth noting that only Kim and Ben Prime have all their original picks still in play.
Yanks/Angels return tomorrow night with Sabathia on the hill (weather permitting), but it does seem at this point like it's the other pitching picks that will make the critical difference as to who stays in the hunt and who falls too far behind.
Phils at Dodgers at 4:07 PM ET; Halos at Bombers at 7:57 (...shut up, FOX).

PHI 5, COL 4
A heroic 8th-inning effort by the Rockies goes for naught as Philadelphia wins the series 3-1. Only Tim and I lose picks here, but we managed to rack up some points tonight, too.
I think this is the first pool season in which, after the divisional serieses have ended, nobody is eliminated.
Your points:
PHI: 9
Howard, R:2
Rollins, J: 3
Tulowitzki, T: 2
Utley, C: 1
Jimenez, U: 14
Lee, C: 12.33

PHI 6, COL 5
Like I said, not much movement with these points, although Maria Dos -- our lone Utleyan -- jumped right back in it with last night's results.

Tonight's game starts at 6:07 with the Phillies leading the series 2-1. An LDS win for them is good for the pool, but bad for me (and Tim); we'll see what happens, but we've got a bunch of picks in play tonight -- look forward to at least a mild reshuffle of your leaders.
LCSes scheduled to start Thursday.

NYY 4, MIN 1: Looks good on ya, Pavano
...Dick.
Anyway! There's a new sheriff in town at last. His name is Ben One. How long his reign lasts depends on the NLDS results, but until then, your points:
NYY: 11
Jeter, D: 2
Mauer, J: 1
Rodriguez, A: 6 (!)
Pettitte, A: 13.33
-----
Complete standings tomorrow morning after the dust settles on tonight's game, but the current top three looks like this:
88: Ben One
78.67: Lauren
70.34: Stephen
In the low 60s: Kim, Tim, Warren, LJ, and Maria Dos
High 50s: Sarah, Aaron, Matt, and Ben Two
Low 50s: everyone else
Unless Tulo goes on a HR binge, we likely won't see a ton of movement overnight, but you never know what J. Roll might do. Again, full standings then, provided no Phillies or Rockies freeze to death. (No, no points will be awarded for that eventuality.)

LAA 7, BOS ah HAAAA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAA! (6)
...HA HA HA HA HA HA!
...Ha!
(Hate Papelbon. HATE.)
The sweep of Boston by the Angels, while not exactly what I expected, 1) is awesome, since it came at the expense of a pitcher I loathe, and 2) did not really affect the pool all that much. Only one picker, Joe, had the team, and only Matt and I had Boston hitters; it's more of a loss on the pitching side, but again, not a huge one.
But the few, the proud, the believers in Los Angeles baseball look pretty good right now. Full standings after tonight's games, but Lauren is still in the lead, followed by Matt, Stephen, the Bens, and Joe (who...should probably not get used to the thinner air up at the top of the standings. No offense, friend).

LAD 5, STL 1
...Daaaaaang. That is some weak sauce, St. Louis! Not that many poolies picked the team...but tons of poolies picked Card pitching and/or Pujols. A good 40% of the pitching picks just got knocked out.
But the clairvoyant Dodger-pickers snagged 11 points (3 for the win, 6 for the LDS win, 2 for the sweep), and Joe is screaming up the standings all of a sudden.
Your points:
LAD: 11
Pujols, A: 2

Reshuffled standings, in which Lauren is now fending off assaults from Stephen and Ben Prime as well as Joe:
65.67: Lauren
57.34: Stephen
55.67: Ben Uno
54.33: Joe
50.67: Kim
49.67: LJ, Maria Dos

43: Maria Uno
40.67: John

34: Tom
Halos vs. Beanos tomorrow at noon, then Yanks at Twins at 7 PM (eat 45 bees, Carl Pavano), Phils at Rockies at 10.

PHI at COL postponed due to snow
...Heh. Dodgers/Redbirds scheduled to proceed barring a hail of frogs. The snow game is rescheduled for Sunday night.
