Day Three results and current standings

Dear ones,

A bad day for the Meister and his entire family. We're all languishing at the bottom of the field; as clear an example of anti-Yankee bias as you could ever hope to see.

Scott Silet retains his (admittedly slim) lead, but the big story of the day are the two megaminded mensa mavens who picked a gaudy 7 of 8 games correctly. Matt Peterson is one of today's geniuses, and he has rocketed into a tie for 5th place. More interesting (not to say disgusting) is Newbie Kate's 7 of 8 performance today, which catapults her into second place behind Scott. The Milwaukee power couple is coming perilously close to running away from the rest of the field. I can almost hear their cruel, mocking laughter at our expense. Let's get 'em!

Better games today. That, and the fact that we cooked a really good pot of chili today (in response to all the chilichatter on the blog) made it a good day. Mostly, though, it was that our driveway shoveling guy showed up in his truck today and removed about a foot of snow from the driveway. Love that dude.

Tomorrow is another chance for me to sink in the standings. Be safe out there. Keep your eye on Scott and Kate. I think a flaming bag of poop on the doorstop is a few correct picks away. Beware!

MIKE I CAN'T GET THE FURSCHLUGGINER COLUMN HEADINGS TO LINE UP WITH THE COLUMNS!!! HELP!!!

I know they say all caps reads as if you're shouting, but I was shouting. Woke up the wife, unfortunately. What am I doing wrong? Or does it not matter and I should blow it off and stop being so compulsive? (Not bloody likely)

Chris, from the train to New Haven, blow it off...line up is for functionaries, not visionaries such as yourself.

New Haven?! Hey, that's out neck of the woods... What brings you to the land of steady habits and crooked cops?
