Phew! I’m very happy that last week’s effort in futility is over between Harry and myself. I came out on top, but certainly not proudly. I finished with 5 correct (6 minus another failed “Lock”) and Harry with 4. Here are our standings:

Matt +6
Jim +3
Kristen +2
David -1
Harry -1
Amanda -2

This week, we’re joined by Chris Matrumalo, another New Hampshire bear and Mid-Atlantic Bias stalwart. Chris is very likely shaking at the moment as his beloved New York Yankees hang on to their ALCS lead by a thread. I for one am pulling for his Yankees to win tonight so that we are set up for Cliff Lee v. CC Sabathia in Game 1 at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday. If that happens, I will be more excited for a World Series game than I have been in some time. For now, our picks:
