Alright, let's finally get these posted.
Most years, this is a drawn out, 8-10 post piece with some reason, rhyme, and rhythm to it. This year, it isn't. I'm just gonna post the schedule runs, then post my, uuh, postseason picks, and then we'll move on, because let's face it, these bad boys are three weeks overdue, and with the way life is working for me right now, if I wait any longer, these may never go up.
Also, as much proof as I can offer, that this schedule run was done before the season began, and has remained unchanged since:
