Gimme Cinci too.

FTR... I made this pick when they're in the 3rd inning and Houston's up 2-0. Feel free to count the game or not. I throw myself to the court to decide whether it counts or not. Don't feel like looking up the rule.

Cin (won't count for Friday)

I know Patience has proposed a strategy where you intentionally play half the week, but I doubt this is what you intended (even as the Reds were losing anyway). Your tardiness pays off for one game, though.

Your main issue with missing games is you already missed a week and a half. UA? won once before even with having to take losses to reach the qualifying 150, but that's putting yourself behind the 8-ball, so to speak.

Anyway, enough chatter, you both miss the Friday loss, and get the weekend wins for the Reds. The rest of us Red bandwagoners are still in decent shape. Standings after the weekend:

Does "Reds bandwagoners" make anyone else think of the Simpson's parody of "Paint your Wagon"? "I'm gonna paint your wagon/I'm gonna paint it good./I'm gonna use an oil-based paint/because it's made of wood."
