You Pick Tourney: Group V/Round 1

[woody5254]

Here will be the matchups for Round #2:

#1 Seed 1995 Indians(theasfl) vs #8 Seed 1916 Braves(Xenimus0)
#4 Seed 1948 Red Sox(tward) vs #12 Seed 2003 Cubs(jf7623)

#6 Seed 1999 Indians(Nomar363) vs #14 Seed 1983 Giants(illeracula)
#10 Seed 2004 A's(Wheele8) vs #15 Seed 1976 Tigers(Dark Horse)

I think the #15 Seed Tigers have as good a shot as any from the lower half to make it to the group finals.

Just be happy they won. The #2 seed wasn't so lucky, they got Fidryched right out of the tourney

Yeah, I think that was the second best pitching performance of Round #1 so far behind Dwight Gooden('84 Mets) and his 5-0 record with 53 K's!!!
