Please vote in the 3rd place and Championship games. Thank you...

I got me. I think my pen is the key to the series, with both teams having pretty strong starting pitching and solid lineups.

Damn you guys! Now I gotta start looking up stuff and stuff

Ernies special friend

Sushi for reasons that include apple cider and kryptonite

I had these teams 1-2 coming into the playoffs. Gotta lean SusMeebs looking at the matchups but it could go either way imo

Not to shit on Meebs team... Because it sounds like sour grapes... But he was not even in my top 5...

I penalized teams for punting decades in a decade mock... and for a team that is so strong with SP, his Bullpen is probably the weakest in this mock...

I vote Sushi. Can't vote for a team to win it all with Jose Valverde closing. if so then it's clear bullpens just don't matter in these mocks. Dude could not get a big out to save his life. 9.82 postseason ERA!

Congrats Meebs

I took a combo of boths teams so both should get 1/2 vote

Sushi for reasons including he may be my sisters boyfriend.
