OFFICE POOL UPDATE - October 12

[Alkie]

If Detroit does hang on to win the ALCS (which looks highly likely at this point), TJ will win the office pool in any scenario that does not involve the Cardinals winning the World Series.

In that case, Satan laughs at Mark Raup again and gives him GRAND PRIZE instead of DEAD LAST.  

And you think there's no BBGs.

ETA: By the way, MRaup, even if the A's came back and the steM won the NLCS, you'd finish no worse than 6th.  Good job.  You can't even LOSE right.

I'm a failure at losing.

Amazing.  No matter who wins the NLCS, only ONE person in here will have nailed the participants in the WS.

So, here are the possibilities now for the prizes:

DET beats STL - TJ wins Grand Prize, homer (5 WS Games) and VirtualBob (7 WS Games) tie for 2nd Prize
DET beats NYM - TJ wins Grand Prize, homer (5 WS Games) and VirtualBob (7 WS Games) tie for 2nd Prize
STL beats DET - MRaup wins Grand Prize, TJ wins 2nd Prize
NYM beats DET - TJ wins Grand Prize, MRaup (4 WS Games) and Craig the Bastard (6 WS Games) tie for 2nd Prize

In case of the ties for 2nd prizes, the tiebreakers come in to play.  If the tiebreakers don't settle anything, the first person to have posted their picks will win.
