Bingo!Also saw you predicted losing Luetge. On top of that, you get a mention on BP and in a tweet by Jim Powell. Please predict Braun will win his appeal and we can all sleep a bit easier.

You guys should check out Kettle of Fish in Greenwich Village. They have big gatherings for Packer games and apparently play all of the Brewers regular season games. I am sure they will get a pretty good turnout for the playoffs. Luckily, I have been in Wisconsin for most of this run, but I will be back in Stockholm for the World Series. For the Super Bowl, bars stay open because it is a one time event and there are enough football fans willing to stay up past 4 a.m. to watch the game. It is quite an experience to see it when abroad. Baseball on the other hand doesn't get the draw from the expats like the NFL does and I will be stuck with mlb.tv or a slingbox. I spent about a month of this summer in Finland. They play a game called Pesäpallo (Finnish baseball) that is pretty popular. I can't really figure out what is happening in the game, there seems to be much more defensive strategy as they have more movement before the "pitch." There are several youtube videos if people want to check out a little of the game. This one is pretty humorous especially the taunting and the way the decide who hits first.

Hi guys. I am a long time lurker of the site. It was funny to see my streak get recognized on here. jjkoestler and I ended up having many of the same picks towards the end of the streak. Too bad one of us couldn't keep it going. It is a bummer to have a three way tie when a prize is involved, so I will bow out and let the other two decide who gets the hat. I'll share in the bragging rights however. I would also like to thank Mass, TLB, and SF for doing the link report. It makes it much easier to follow the system and is essential daily reading for me.
