Hey. This was the week they tried to ruin my vacation. I blame the white uniforms.

[whippoorwill]

Here kitty of course!

[kcmets]

Grin And Bear It, Daze Of Thunder and They Pull Ya Back In

[G-Fafif]

Kudos to the invocation of the black cat. I didn't vote for it, because it seemed blasphemous to suggest the situations were analogous, but I appreciate the recurring nods to 1969.



Conversely, I detest those white uniforms, but WHITEOUT nailed the essence of that futile weekend.



They did indeed KEEP PULLING YA BACK IN, so that one was a winner to me. Likewise, DAZE OF THUNDER was a very effective delivery system of undesirable news.



Tough choices in this round, and that's NO SYN.

[bmfc1]

Oh no, the next round is going to have that game against WSH.

SYNBAD! got jobbed. I know we agreed that "Syn" isn't a great nickname, but the combo with "bad" makes it appropriately clever. The picture tells the story as does the Starburst stat box out of a grocery circular.

[Benjamin Grimm]

The Post is faring very poorly this year, with only two first-round winners so far. Last year it also had only two first-round winners, but one of them, SWEEP SNAKES, made it all the way to the Final Four. It doesn't seem likely that either of this year's two winners, SINKO DE MAYO and FOLLY RANCHER will go as far.
