Pick 6 Update

The day game and holiday caused the update to be skipped this week but here's a quick run-down of the season so far: jacksorbetter has taken over first place, I'm in second, then Jim and then Nordhagen and lisa523 round out the top five. jacksorbetter is also charging up the SB Nation-wide standings and is currently knocking on the door of the top ten. With a Twinkie and a Tiger in the top three, it's time we got cereal here on the South Side.

Today is a short slate of games but there's still some time to get in on the game. Go here.
