Out of the 30 fan bases in the game, the Phillies, Rangers and Cubs fans, in that order, managed to outsmart all other users and win some sort of BUNT fan title. The title consists of this article right here, so enjoy it while it lasts, because we’re expecting changes in 2013 and a whole lot of competition between users.

If you own Pablo Sandoval in Topps BUNT, chances are you were gushing last night when you opened the app. Mr. Panda himself issued 117 PTS and catapulted the Giants to an 8-3 victory over Detroit in Game 1 of the World Series.
Sandoval’s night was historic for a number of reasons, but in the BUNT world he had a career-high evening, topping his previous high in PTS (66 in Sept.) and making his season average (7.5 PTS per game) look like a joke.
With three home runs, including two off Justin Verlander, and a single, Sandoval was 4-for-4.

There might be no greater way to go for a bike ride than by mapping out your favorite team’s logo and sticking to it on the ground.
This ride will only be worth it while the going is good. Giants fans should get out and be active. This World Series battle, which begins Wednesday night in San Francisco, could go the distance and be pretty stressful.
Everyone is crazy during the MLB post-season, especially the folks who rob banks and scream “Go Cards” on their way out.
Just 20 miles south of Busch Stadium, the Jason Motte look alike above showed his spirit for his hometown Cardinals as he committed a crime.
Only in October.
Giants pitcher Ryan Vogelsong led all players in Game 6 of the NLCS with 111 PTS in BUNT.
Vogelsong, who now has 1,604 PTS for the season, pitched seven innings, striking out 9 and allowing just 1 run.
His career-high day is still 147 PTS in a victory over the Athletics on May 19. He pitched seven innings of shutout ball and had five strikeouts.
Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., or Lil Wayne as you youngins know him, had the privilege of singing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” during Game 6 of the NLCS between San Francisco and St. Louis over the weekend.
So many things to say, so little time.
Watch and make your own judgements…
You’ll have a chance to watch ALCS and NLCS games Wednesday, which means double the opportunity to track your BUNT players throughout the day.
American League Championship Series
Series: 3-0 Tigers
Location: Comerica Park, 8 p.m. EST
On the hill: CC Sabathia vs. Max Scherzer
Pre-game headlines:
BUNT breakdown: CC Sabathia comes into Game 4 off an outstanding 153-PT complete game victory against the Orioles in the ALDS. He recorded nine strikeouts in the win. Before that, he also threw 8.2 innings in a 101-PT effort to beat the Orioles in the opening game of the ALDS on Oct. 7. Either way, Sabathia is the man you want on the mound and on your BUNT roster tonight if numbers mean anything.
Max Scherzer has 1,144 PTS this season and has made one post-season appearance so far this year, a no-decision (76 PTS) against the Athletics in the ALDS. He has Prince Fielder (2,223) and Miguel Cabrera (2,643) to support him and a 3-0 cushion in the series just in case anything goes wrong.

National League Championship Series
Series: 1-1
Location: Busch Stadium, 4 p.m. EST
On the hill: Matt Cain vs. Kyle Lohse
Pre-game headlines:
BUNT breakdown: Kyle Lohse (2,106 PTS) is the highest rated NL Pitcher in BUNT behind R.A. Dickey, the favorite to win the NL Cy Young - or Old Hoss Radbourne award at the Topps BUNTY’s. Lohse is coming off a no-decision against the Nationals in the NLDS, a 93-PT effort that saw him pitch 7 innings and strikeout 5. It was more fruitful for BUNT users than his 47-PT performance against the Braves in the NL Wildcard game where he still received the victory, but lasted only 5.2 innings and allowed 6 hits, 2 runs and 1 walk.
On the other side is Matt Cain, right behind Lohse on the NL Pitching leaders board with 2,044 PTS this season. Like Lohse, he also had a victory in a playoff game after throwing just 5.2 innings and scattering 6 hits, 3 runs and 2 walks in the effort for just 29 PTS.
