Since Jeff is off exploring the world, I figured I'd throw up this weeks FanPost. I know some people probably forget if they don't see a new post.
Here is how the scoring works. And here is this week's pitching schedule.
Anyone who posted predictions for yesterday or for the week in last week's thread might want to copy/paste them here (for Monday, obviously make sure you actually posted one in time yesterday--no cheating).
UPDATE: low scores abounded in a week in which the Rockies won just once.

Same team and scores
but it will be the SP of each game respectively for the Cubs series.
