Man Mmzzxwhatevs 3-6? you 're even more down on this team than Hogie

Man Mmzzxwhatevs 3-6? you 're even more down on this team than Hogie

He likely wins with that...this team is playing poorly.  It's pretty depressing...it's like we're aspiring to be the Cubs...

[mmzznnxx]

I was honestly being generous with 3-6 really. I briefly considered 1-8 and 2-7 before deciding .333 is more in line with their talents (except when it comes to batting averages).

[imref]

missed this, arghhh

[nats2playoffs]

If the Miami rain postponement is not going to be made up this Wed-Thur, we should just cancel this YNOT Edition, and create a new one for the 6 remaining home games, against Texas and Philadelphia.  Reports are that it will NOT be played this week, (plus, more thunderstorms are expected tomorrow.)

Otherwise, we would have to suspend the results of this edition until the makeup game is played. There's no home Miami series until the end of the season. If the makeup game won't affect the playoffs, that game could be cancelled by MLB.

I'll set up a YNOT Edition 10-Plan B , if we confirm that no makeup will be played this week.

[RobDibblesGhost]

I'll set up a YNOT Edition 10-Plan B , if we confirm that no makeup will be played this week.

Go for it - it's been confirmed that the makeup game will not happen this week.

[nats2playoffs]

Go for it - it's been confirmed that the makeup game will not happen this week.

Okay, that will give everyone over 3 days to submit their new picks. 

I had omitted the expanded pitchers' stats above, since the 9-game series began without a break. So I wanted to post it as soon as possible, and it takes extra time to post that.
