Thanks to the totally inept relief pitching, by the usually reliable Padre Bullpen, Benzi wins the June First you pick'em three Strike contest...Made a mistake in the last post and listed grapler's pick, instead of mrknicks losing Pirates...pick...
So, we have grappler and kniky make it thru game 7 and Benzi...getting a win...prizes will be sent out in October when the September contest is over...
SOOO...do you prefer picking the team yourself or having me make the pick?

;)
The first three games are up on Yahoo, I assume you guys know how to fine the match ups know, so pick away. goling Live on Saturday.

Starting May 30 ...You pick the team you think will win each day begining with June 1st Then you pick
. games up three days before the game starts (check http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/scoreboard?d=2013-06-01) and have the following games selected before the current game, starts. click on the calendar for the next game

The kicker is...you can only pick the winning team once...ie if you pick the Yankees to win on June 1 and they win...you can't use the Yankees again for the rest of Tournament. However, you can pick a team as long as they keep losing...up until you have three strikes

I am not going to be a baby sitter...this is a DAILY GAME once it starts...miss a game for what ever reason...YOU GET A STRIKE. Not being near your computer isn't an excuse...you can go to libraries, Radio Shack, hotel lobbies, etc.

[bold]I have found that it is a lot easier if you edit your picks in the same post...less post, easier to follow...Honesty is appreciated...all edits times must before the current game is played. [/bold]

PRIZES
Players that survive the first seven games without striking out, will receive a card that total at least $7.
Players that survive the until the 12th game without striking out, will receive an additional card that the total of both cards isat least $15.

Overall winner, will recieve up to $40 in cards.


If you're a winner up to you to lmk.

Once we get down to about four players, Each player will email me there picks. When we are down to two players, I will have them pick all the games of the day, until we have a clear winner.:eek:

ANY QUESTIONS please ask...please just edit each day.:confused:

Hi All
Three games in the book and three players have struck themselves out...baseball24, jasket and cincikid got one play...Only The Contest Master, David K, has been throwing himself homerun balls...Keep getting the picks in a day early please.
Thanks Bob

Just out of curiousity...anyone have any boxes of Prizm Baseball for sale or trade.
 
Hi Game Four is in the books and...what makes baseball the best game ever, four different teams that were this weeks picks...all came back and won in their last at bats. The Nats won their first game this year in their last at bat by scoring two in the Ninth...Mayberry Jr hit a grand salami in the bottom of the 11th for the Phillies, Pujols saved Mike Sciosia for the moment by hitting a two run homer in the bottom of the eighth, and, finally, Andrelton Simmons double the Braves to victory in the 10th. Only David K took a strike yesterday, while playing. Jasket struck out by not playing.
Doesn't look good for some of the picks tonight, as the Giants were shut out by Dickey, and the Rocks are up by five over the Reds.
Good luck to all reminding, players and anyone who can find me Gyorko autos.
Thanks Bob
 
Banked on Kershaw last night and went broke. Proving that you can format this contest any way you want - I CAN'T prognosticate very well!
 
Five Games in the books and a bad night for the favorites...Only those picking the Yankees didn't get a strike in game 5...and those not returning are...Katester44, bigpapiortiz
and chief wahoo
If the Yankees hold on to their 6-1 lead, no one gets a strike for day 6
