Oooh, I like this team's chances.

Well the next series may very well decide the group, both the Pirates and Tigers look incredibly tough and of course they have to play in Round #2. But my predictions have been way off all tourney, so probably the winner of this series will lose in Round #3. Actually the way Jim Kaat threw in Round #1 for the Twins and the fact that the Giants have Mathewson and tourney fave Red Ames, I guess that could happen. This really is a solid group.

Seeing Roger Clemens listed as a Goat was a surprise. I don't recall him ever "winning" that award before and thought that he owned the title of Hero in Version 1.0.
