Raiders.............vs...............Outandup

 

I just wanted to add my two cents:

My quick analysis:

I would have to say that BasesWiz is the early favorite in the public's eye, after seeing all the posters who seemed to agree. The Shrink needs to rebound after a humbling showing in the McIrish Challenge. Railbird, known for his in depth analysis of Little League Baseball might have an advantage, as he probably tracked most of these players since their T-Ball days.

That being said, I say smart money is on Patrick McIrish to repeat. Of course, what do I know...I am as square as they come.

Have fun, guys. Good luck. Let me know if you need anything.

Okay the field is all set...These are the 1st rd matchups....

It should be a great tourney!


Good Luck to everyone!

 

[smoothie]

contest starts tomorrow?

when will the lines go up?

 

[Journeyman]

One can only wonder how large Railbird`s database is Jake....From little league right thru Pony League, Highschool, College etc

'Raiders' has posted odds in past tourneys and has actually been rather accurate.....

CONTEST STARTS TOMORROW SMOOTHIE......

Good luck everyone, but as my RIO contest record shows, I am a force to be considered here.

Force--> Maybe

Humble/Modest-->NOT, lol...

THE SHRINK

 

[betmonkey]

strong field...GL to all!!

 

[TheGeneral+]

What can I say. I got a lot on my mind. I tried to humble & modest before, and it didn't work. The drill seargant said "that is not what we're looking for."

Shrink, while you drew the easiest opponent I also think he is the worst to face.. you are in a no win situation.. if you beat MFG.. you were suppose to.. if you lose to MFG.. oh my lord. I'd hide.. for a very long time..
