SmashMouth MLB Playoffs RD 1 SCORE UPDATE

Likely NL MVP & Cy Young winner and otherwise Mr. Reliable Clayton Kershaw was anything but despite earning his 20th win vs the Cubbies. Clearly, anyone taking Kershaw and LAD Pitchers vs CHC batters in first two picks expected a minimum +30 net point edge (yes, Clayton, you've spoiled us rotten). Instead, he ekes out a paltry +2.57 average net? Unacceptable!

Here are scores entering today's deciding games:
#4 NICK MENCIA (9 - 9) -- 137
#1 JIM PEPE (13 - 5) -- 146
Really really not cool, Clayton!

#3 SAM CANTOR (11 - 7) -- 130
#2 GLENN ARONOW (11 - 7) -- 96
GLENN's ship be sinking and the sky's the limit.

NL SmashMatches
#4 RICHARD BROWNE (9 - 9) -- 151
#1 ROB TALLIA (10 - 8) -- 113
Getting saddled with PIT Pitchers as DH generally won't help ROB's cause.

#3 PHIL PEPE (10 - 8) -- 183
#2 TOM MAIDEN (10 - 8) -- 132
OK so last season PHIL crawls into the playoffs and proceeds to win 3 straight by an average of +122.7 en route to the World Series crown. Here we go again...
