The Silent Majority is turning into Silent Minority...NEVER be SILENT:

First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me.

Dawgnuts-If you lose the next challenge, who are you going to vote for to eliminate?  lol

I like to add a little to the end of that...

"So I let my springfield 9mm do a little talking and took a few of those bastages with me before I was overcome."

Today's Challenge:   Over/Under Rankings:     Here is something simple.   For every ballgame tonight starting before 10:00 EDT (except the Cubs game), you will choose the over or the under.    You will rank them from most confident to least.   The tribe that gets the over/under wrong earliest on their list loses.   

Game	Time	Over/Under	Pitchers
Pittsburgh at Cleveland	7:05 PM	8	Correia vs Tomlin
Baltimore at Washington	7:05 PM	8	Britton vs Marquis
Milwaukee at Boston	7:10 PM	9.5	Marcum vs Lackey
Toronto at Cincinnati	7:10 PM	9	Reyes vs Leake
LA Angels at NY Mets	7:10 PM	8	Pineiro vs Capuano
Florida at Tampa Bay	7:10 PM	8.5	Hand vs Davis
Texas at Atlanta	7:35 PM	7.5	Lewis vs Delgado
San Diego at Minnesota	8:10 PM	8	Richard vs Duensing
Kansas City at St. Louis	8:15 PM	8	Paulino vs Carpenter
Detroit at Colorado	8:40 PM	9	Porcello vs Hammel
Chicago White Sox at Arizona	9:40 PM	9	Jackson vs Hudson

Justices can choose one game to add or subtract a run from the over under.   

Pushes and Rainouts will be considered correct.   No extra innings

If you lose, it will be anautomatic tie (unless an idle is played).    And we will go to a tiebreaker procedure immediately after the results of the GD games Saturday.

Or you can finish in 2nd or 1st and avoid this
