We fall to 54-42 for a .563 WP. If we keep going at this pace, we will end up at 91-71. Devil's Advocate and Deadwood AL have retaken the lead.

All season I've had 95-67 which was the highest pick—meaning anything 95 and over I win. All of a sudden on July 18 there's a Tdub2 with 96-66. Why the fix? Is someone really so scared I'm going to win that they have to sneak in a mid-season pick?

As the rules stated in the April 5 post by kovalwat: “Cut off date for predictions is the first pitch of the Pirates regular season game. We are now at 77, and the polls are closed. The tiebreaker is Pirate runs scored in the final game of the regular season.”

Count 'em. We now have 78 and an invalid entry at 96-66.

Well then I'd say the whole poll is invalid from the start. If not for the "error" back in March, my pick would have been 97-65.

If one day you don't show up around here, I'll call the Erie Zoo, the Erie police, and the Erie undertaker.

Appreciate that, I'd say call my wife but by then she'd be in Rio with the insurance money and Raul, the pool boy.

We don't even have a pool, go figure.
