:(Hi
Well I stand corrected...the Diamondbacks actually won on the 9th...just somethimes trying to keep up with everything and a one year old granddaughter that smarter then yourself. So...that being said...you two are therefore tied...today is the 12th and too late for tomorrow....how about both of you pick all the game for Wednesday the fourteenth...games are here...please pick column one and then pick column two.
Sorry for the screw up.

The first game is up on Yahoo, I assume you guys know how to find the match ups, so pick away. goling Live on THURSday.

How to Play: You pick the team you think will win each day beginning with August 1st. Then you pick
. games up three days before the game starts (check http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/scoreboard?d=2013-08-01) and have the following games selected before the current game, starts. click on the calendar for the next game

The kicker is...you can only pick the winning team once...ie if you pick the Yankees to win on June 1 and they win...you can't use the Yankees again for the rest of Tournament. However, you can pick a team as long as they keep losing;)...up until you have three strikes

I am not going to be a baby sitter...this is a DAILY GAME once it starts...miss a game for what ever reason...YOU GET A STRIKE. Not being near your computer isn't an excuse...you can go to libraries, Radio Shack, hotel lobbies, etc.

[bold]I have found that it is a lot easier if you edit your picks in the same post...less post, easier to follow...Honesty is appreciated...all edits times must before the current game is played. [/bold]

PRIZES
Players that survive the first seven games without striking out, will receive a card that total at least $7.
Players that survive the until the 12th game without striking out, will receive an additional card that the total of both cards is at least $15.

Overall winner, will receive up to $40 in cards.


If you're a winner it's up to you to lmk. i.e. only Stanley actually told me he won the July contest..no one told me they made thru 7 games (Or, if they did...have been too busy chasing the one-year-old Granddaughter around the house, that I didn't notice. She Who Must Be Obeyed keeps saying there are priority:mad:

Once we get down to about four players, Each player will email me there picks. When we are down to two players, I will have them pick all the games of the day, until we have a clear winner.

ANY QUESTIONS please ask...please just edit each day.
Still waiting for those trade offers for the Padres autos you have!;)
