Here are the standings. Amazingly, nobody picked Alexi "Masher" Casilla to knock in the game-winner, so I left the bonus out of the table.

Coming out of retirement; haven't played one of these in a while, but with some hardware in the ol' Spofi closet (and possibly even a coveted Costanza if I recall correctly), it's time for an old man to show these young whippersnappers how it's done! :)
- Phillies in 3
- Twins in 4- that's right, I went there!
- Dodgers in 5
- Boston in 4
- Manny Ramirez
- NL + 16

Speaking of the Costanza- did the SpoFi Pantheon ever get around to hosting the Championship images on the site itself? I just dug up the original Costanza awards designed by gpsm from around aught-six, and they look fantastic!
