Convention Season Grill 459

We were due for a new grill, and Krugman wanted to be ripped-off in his entirety. I get the essence. The GOP campaign is based on five main themes, three negative and two positive.

FAIL 12: I barely knew how to FAIL 53

First, here are the usual links: Probable Pitchers. FAIL scoring tool, and sign up to write a FAIL of your very own. Sorry guys, low creativity day for me. I’m just going to go mostly old-school. 33 points possible. Series Outcome (4 points) Stars/Goats (normal way, picking highest and lowest single-game WPA for each team) ...
