So, bret owns the main bet (you should have given me 10 games this year...)

I own the first sidebet. Bret could probably turn around the saves category, but that would still make it 4-4, and I have the tiebreaker since I only made one category.

So, tomorrow's game will, in all likelihood decide whether I owe bret 20 bucks at season's end, or whether the bet is a push. (Of course, the season series would already be decided were it not for that phantom HR by DeRosa back in April...)

Well, I won the first $10, and it looks like we'll be splitting the bet overall, unless something exceedingly bizarre happens in the category sidebet.

If we do this for a third time next year, I think we should adjust the values to prevent an overall split like that. This seems to be a lot to go through for no money to change hands. I'd even be okay with just making the main bet worth $35, that way whoever wins that is guaranteed at least $10, and the most anyone can win or lose is $60.

A push is a miracle for a Cubs fan in any year. Way to go Bret.

Huh, should be interesting.

I like that the Phillies offense is so strong, cheez didn't use Rollins and it's not the least bit strange.

I actually didn't use Rollins last year either. This year, he's clearly the best bet in steals, but Victorino should be able to pwn anyone the Cubs put out there, so I'd rather have Rollins' versatility available for an injury replacement, without having to shuffle the rest of the lineup. We don't use runs, which is his most valuable category.

I'm still pondering some other options though, mainly revolving around using Utley for BA, as he's the only Phillie who I can realistically project to hit over .300.

I'm hoping him being the best player on team USA translates into a monster season.
