Go Reds.
Some tough choices there! I had to pick between seven or eight of that group.
ReplyDeleteYeah. i have a feeling a lot of the groups will be tough. Considering these were all hand picked by me, i'll be more upset about the losers than happy about the winners.
DeleteI like the format, choosing from a pool, thus avoiding (at least for the time being) obvious "weak" or "strong" matchups. It hurt to leave Ed Bailey off my ballot, but I think he'll still move on. Deion squeaked by as my last choice, only because it seems like the Padres third baseman might've been tagging him out (assuming the ball and glove are behind that cloud of dust).
ReplyDeleteGreat first group of cards!
thanks. we won't be going head to head for quite a while, so if it's a strong card, it would take some serious bad luck not get into the finals bracket. and fret not, there are a few more baileys lingering around the pool.
DeleteHelluva start... Sent from the woods
