Was a great series

No idols to play, so answer and vote away. 

acketyack: Do you think you'd still be here had you not won immunity in the last challenge?
tropicana: Your teams are 1-6 in the last two challenges. Bad choices or bad luck?
kneeneighbor: Does having immunity affect your chances of winning the game in the end, with everyone else forced to possibly make deals just to get through this round of voting?
BastanRedsox: In picking the Braves, did you leave too many good options for the rest of the players?

That was why I picked the braves. I didnt think the options were that great compared to if i had picked the redsox or yankees. I took all the great maddux seasons with me when I chose 98, and thought they had the best offense out of the bunch. Just didnt materilize on the field is all.

Yes but in a good way, it does effect things in that I am still here for another round.  I have learned that my decision to pass my idol to Bastan last round was not a popular one with the remaining players. I however maybe have made the mistake of thinking that this Survivor would go to the final vote with 3 remaining players and I have been planning my moves as such.

I do enjoy a little uncertainty on the island ;)

Honestly, i think i've been playing on borrowed time for a while. I never thought I'd get this far and I know I am playing against some great competitors who all have a lot of friends on the jury. I'm just looking forward to the next round and I will continue to hope for the best.

On my phone so I will try to make this as succinct and to the point as possible. For this round I made the best choice I could. I was looking at the Spahn and Saint seasons, but felt more comfortable with the better offense. And we scattered a lot of hits, but couldn't get the big one across. Given the braves'.....ummm......up and down history, we'll say, I think I took the best of what was left.

I have no idea what happened with the 85 Cardinals. Great pitching good offense and a ton of triples. Great base-stealers too. Bad luck, I guess. I don't know.

The votes are in. After 14 challenges, three Survivors will, um, survive.
