2014 Playoff Challenge
SECOND CHANCE
Pick the winners in THE REST of the MLB playoffs!
Since so many people did so terribly, or should I say since there were so many surprises in the first round, or should I say since I got knocked out so fast, I thought it would be fun to have a consolation bracket. Anyone can play, even if you didn't play the first time around! And for those who are still in the first one, nothing you enter here will override anything you did there. This is completely separate.
The more the merrier. Invite your friends! Good luck! (Entry period has closed.)

"All the ballparks and the big crowds have a certain mystique. You feel attached, permanently wedded to the sounds that ring out, to the fans chanting your name, even when there are only four or five thousand in the stands on a Wednesday afternoon."

"I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game. It will take our people out-of-doors, fill them with oxygen, give them a larger physical stoicism. Tend to relieve us from being a nervous, dyspeptic set. Repair these losses, and be a blessing to us."
– Walt Whitman

"You talk about the magic, the aura, but what really makes a stadium is the fans. Concrete doesn't talk back to you. Chairs don't talk back to you. It's the people who are there, day in, day out, that makes the place magic."
