South Side Sox Ubiquitous Bracket Challenge

I signed up for Comcast Sports Net's Tournament Challenge because I wanted try my luck and see if I could take home a big screen TV. And since you can create leagues, I went ahead and made one for South Side Sox, which I encourage you all to join. Disclaimer: (added because I sound like I'm selling something) I'm not gaining anything by sending you Comcast's direction.

League Username: South Side Sox
League Password: tinkerbell

For those of you serious about winning, you'll want to check out the scoring, which is slightly different than I've seen in most places. It gives more credit for correctly picking an upset, with "upset" being defined as a lower seed defeating a higher seed.

On the diamond, Tuesday marks probably the most interesting day of the spring as both Gavin Floyd and John Danks are scheduled to pitch 4 innings against Texas which could go a long way to deciding the winner of the 5th spot in the rotation. Unfortunately, this game doesn't appear to be one of the many televised this spring.

I've also created a league at Pickspal.com

It's got a very nice/easy user interface, but I think you have to be invited to enter the league...

Email me at dachort [at] gmail if you'd like to enter this league.

Anyone think that this Danks vs. Floyd duel...
will determine our fifth starter?  Or will they each get until the end of ST to prove their worth?

little early to call it
probably this start and their next will settle it.

Has either shown signs of brilliance?
Or will we be crying for Brandon McCarthy by May?

AJ's Picks

[Scott Reifert]

Count on AJ to finish his NCAA basketball pool by having Florida face the Ohio State Buckeyes.  The Gator fan's guess at the score?  41-14, the same score of the national championship football game.
