Not much movement on the overall standings. I jumped into 2nd and Jimmy bumped up to 4th. With only a few weeks left, can anyone catch MM?

On a side note, would anyone be interested in EZ Fantasy Football if it was run this same way this season? Pick two teams each week until you use them all up and then pick any two teams you like on Week 17? Just curious if last year's format is favorable or if this format is more interesting.

The randomizer can be generous or cruel.

Since I was victimized by a team that didn't care in Week 17 last year, I support this variation. :P

No mid-week scores this week. Just the selection chart. Get those picks in by noon (EST) on Sunday! We're all starting to run out of options, so the last eight weeks should be interesting!

Week 20: Chicago White Sox

If nothing else, I'll be the champion of getting my pick in every week.

I'll take the Seattle Mariners.

I think I've only missed one pick thus far.

I'm torn between six different teams right now. I guess I should consider myself lucky seeing how few options are left.

Marlins

The time has come folks, if it's not too late. I need the Cincinnati Reds in my life this week.

Turnip Head (or really, the randomizer) won Week 19. With seven full weeks and the final day of season play left, can anyone catch up to MM? It's going to take a series of bad weeks for him and a series of great weeks for anyone else.

With this week's picks, everyone has used the Boston Red Sox, making them the first team to be completely eliminated from use. With seven selections left, I'm sure we'll see several more teams getting used up.

wicked good picks, bros.

You know who doesn't have the worst pitching staff in baseball? The Reds.

The Diamondbacks now own the highest ERA in the league.

I just discovered a high school classmate of mine is making his MLB debut tomorrow for the Brewers, against the Mariners.

I hope the Mariners score 20 runs in the 8th inning and zero before.

Week 21: Seattle Mariners

Kansas City Royals

Seattle for me as well.

Eh, what the hell, I'll take Seattle too.

Tampa Bay Rays.

Can today count as next week?

Is it too early to declare Metalmarsh the winner yet? Seriously, his lead is just ridiculous. In other news this week: Draconus becomes just the second player to snag a fourth weekly win, S~V~S takes back second place from me, Sloonei inches closer in 4th, SD leapfrogs over two players and into 5th place, and poor Rustifinko is almost 200 points behind our leader.

Lol at AllAlongtheBoardwalk randomly scoring 18 runs yesterday.

I don't know how I got up to 6th. I feel like I haven't had a good week in months.

Week 22: Texas Rangers

I'll take the Chicago White Sox.

I apparently still have the Texas Rangers on the board, so let's take them.

Personal goal: AATB hasn't been around for nearly the whole season, and his picks are a study in randomization.

I need to finish above AATB. I need to know that I am better than a lottery ball.

Looks like I won't gain any ground on MM this week. White Sox for me as well.

G-Man wrote:Looks like I won't gain any ground on MM this week. White Sox for me as well.

I think you and SVS are the only ones who have a chance, and even then it's a distance one.

Quite a bit of movement this week. Draconus randomized a second consecutive weekly win and jumps from 8th to 4th, Sloonei drops from 4th to 6th, JJJ from 6th to 7th, BWT from 7th to 10th, but our bottom three remain the same. Only five full weeks and the final day of the season remain

No mid-week scores this week, but here is the selection chart. Picks are due Sunday at noon (EST).

Week 23: Toronto Blue Jays

Houston Astros for me please.

Looks like the Washington Nationals for me this week.

I did not fall as far as I had thought I would.

Our top 3 remain the same but at least myself and S~V~S are threatened by some big movers. With their tie for weekly winner, Sloonei jumps from 6th to 4th and JJJ from 7th to 5th. Our biggest drop came via Spacedaisy, who tumbled from 5th to 9th. Four full weeks and the final day of games remain. Who's going to lose steam first?
