Morning thoughts
Yeah yeah yeah congrats to the Brewers or whatever. As a Vikings and a Dodgers fan, I don’t love a good night in Milwaukee.
One thing that’s fun is that we will have two first-time champions this week: the WNBA Finals are going to a Game 7 for the first time ever, and neither team has won a title.
Last week's winners
Champion: “Jimmy O’Leniquan”
Jimmy went 11/12 and won it on the tiebreaker over “Taco man,” who also had 11. His guess of $2,500 was $169 off, which was $12 closer than “Taco man’s” guess.
Closest to the Pin: “Fiona M-M”
Fiona guessed $2,369 for the cheapest World Series Game 1 ticket, just $38 off the actual $2,331.
Fun tidbit of the week
William Contreras was named World Series MVP on Wednesday night, a decade after his older brother Willson won a ring with the 2016 Cubs. So the Contreras brothers have now been part of ending a 108-year drought and a 57-year one.
“The Game” this weekend:
