I was with you till the last line, Yusuf. : )

@RuthODay @tabletopmania @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

Yeah, I'm predicting Tigers over the Twins in the final, sorry. That's an amazing club. And of course I bailed on the Twins as well in this tournament.

@YusufToropov @RuthODay @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7
99 Braves and 30 A’s were both in the finals last year. Early exits are predicted by you and Ruth.

@tabletopmania @RuthODay @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7

Now you know why I don't bet actual money :-)

Sorry, eh, about your A’s Yusuf.

More accurately, sorry, not sorry. : )

Just a note for young Blue Jays fans out there who wonder who that guy is with the S. Tom Henke is what is known as a “Lights Out” closer. I know that may seem strange but that means that he efficiently gets the opposing side out with no drama.

@RuthODay @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7
