One last bullet to fire.

 

Drop Lamb

Add Blackmon

 

With 6 days in the season? No...

 

REMINDER: Transactions end 9/10/2017 at Noon (Chicago Time).

I even skimmed that thing to check. Guess I should have read it closer.

 

In that case, I request all home runs this week for myself and Andy (since we're the two closest) to be counted twice. After all, we can't have Duke winning after he repeatedly tried to kill the 2017 Cubs season.

2017 HR Derby Champion

Duke Silver

[Sammy Sofa]

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUKE. Somehow the one thing he can't jinx is himself.

[Sammy Sofa]

Thanks again, SouthPaw!

[javy knows my name]

Yeah, thanks for putting this together, Southpaw. You do an awesome job

[Southpaw19]

No worries - you're welcome. I have fun doing it every year. In fact, I'm already working on the 2018 groupings. It's going to be an interesting set next year, with all the higher HR outputs this season.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I won the derby we do at work, and it came with $20 so this one can horsefeathers off

 

but thanks for doing it southpaw

I'm sure they're not run identically, but this begs the question... why weren't your teams the same? :P

[Sammy Sofa]

I'll put in $20 if we can kick Ding Dong in the butt if he wins.

[Derwood]

I'll take my top ten finish participation trophy and be happy

[Southpaw19]

UPDATE: I was bored at work today. That being said, I have groups A through D for 2018 completed. My next task is going to be a new feature in 2018 that has never been utilized in the history of the HR Derby!

 

Enjoy the Postseason, everyone!

[evv98]

Horsefeathers! So close to winning the bronze.

I won this bitch and didn’t get a damn thing so I put more effort into that one

Yeah, well, I won a new car!

 

[Andy]

After missing my chance to win this thing this year I look forward to screwing up whatever new feature Southpaw will add and returning to my usual spot near the basement in 2018.
