The pool is filling up nicely. We're still missing some key players, though. C'mon guys, let's hear your picks
Thanks for doing this my friend…I love how squared away these excel sheets are
-
I'm glad to do it. It's my way of fighting dementia. It keeps my brain cells firing away...well, most of the time.
-
The spreadsheet is beautiful. I preferred my own spreadsheets over anything my accounting software would give me.

I've been making them for over 30 years...it's pretty much second nature now (except for when I can't remember the darned formula I want to use LOL).

Lol. I haven’t touched Excel since 2021. I wonder how much has slipped away in the 2 years away from it.

LOL. I'm still using 2016 - the version I got for $10 when I worked for LAPD (the year I retired). Heh - I just got a text from them asking me to help them with a new sheet because they are changing crime reporting systems and need to change the layout. I can't seem to shake them...I may have to change my phone number.

They’ll find you so don’t bother. Lol. Not an easy job no matter what you did for LAPD so thank you. One of my favorite shows when it was on was SouthLAnd. You can tell me how accurate it was. I heard it was very accurate it but I’m sure you would know better.

Hey I still try and take in a few episodes of Dragnet every now and then lol it’s entertaining on so many levels when you watch it

I’ve never watched SouthLAnd. I’ll have to look it up. Dragnet and Adam-12 were as close to real as a police tv show could get. The Chief ensured it. There was a show in the mid 90s called Life on the Beat. It was a COPS style show. I was on an episode of that.

There is a whole shrine to Jack Webb at the police academy. At least there used to be. I haven’t been there in over a decade.

Back from Alaska boys. I see we are headed towards a rematch with the Astros and Phillies.
-
Rangers and Diamondbacks
Gotta go for the underdogs. Considering the 3/4 of the DS winners were underdogs, it doesn't seem so odd. I also think the DBs are better than their record with the momentum to win. I still don't think the Astros should be in the AL, but they are a darn fine team. Just can't root for them though.

So cool. I never saw it but the name does sound familiar. SouthLAnd was great. Started on network and moved to cable. Not sure where it is these days for streaming. I think Tubi carries it for free.

ALCS game one about to begin in about an hour. This should prove to be a fun one to watch!
-
The Show is about to go on, and the field is set. We still have more room in the grid if anyone wants to add their predictions! The Phillies are the NL favorite pick, while the AL is a toss. There should be some great baseball coming up.
-
Not so sure I can agree. There hasn’t been great baseball in the postseason so far.

Maaaaaannnnn, I'm trying to be optimistic for once in my life...
-
The pool chart has been updated. AL and NL both play tomorrow. The Rangers started out hot by shutting out the Astros. Altuve forgetting to step on 2B when going back was not like him. I was surprised. Carter was awesome in LF tonight.
-
Btw how about my fellow Tennessean Evan Carter? He made a huge play last night that, had he not done so, well it would’ve hurt them pretty bad. Montgomery looked good in the mound as well. Texas has all the goods….imagine….just imagine had they been able to keep everyone healthy going into the postseason! I know, all teams have suffered untimely injuries but to lose two aces from your staff…ouchie. They’ve done incredibly well but I still say advantage belongs to the astros right now.

I'm anxious to see Evan Carter in action next year. He's too new to evaluate right now (a month in MLB?) but if he keeps going the way he is now, he will be the next superstar. He has everything. Offense, defense, speed, and a smile at the same time. He makes Mike Trout look like a worn-out mare.
