WSD contest: Predict the rest-of-season record!

[Rice Cube]

And you could win an autographed baseball card, but my friend hasn't given me a full list yet so we have yet to determine which card(s) we will give away. It will very likely not be a Ryan Theriot or Koyie Hill card though

Read within for rules. You have to sign up for the blog and post your entry in the blog post in the form of a comment.

I'll post here anyways

I think the Cubs will go 22-17 the rest of the season. I think Brett Jackson will have 85 Ks at the end of the season
I think Castro will bat 285 on the season

Now this was funny.

"Your record could potentially have wins and losses adding up to less than 39 games due to rainouts that are not made up because the Cubs suck too much to matter right now."

 

[Rice Cube]

Funny but true. Risk-free to enter

0-39, Castro finishes with 342 average, Jackson doesn't K again, Rizzo hits 32 homers, Vitters bats .284 with 17 homers, Samardzija finishes with 1.00 ERA, Bullpen sucks

:yeah:

Thank you to all who entered!

Good to see you again Sunbiz

 

[Rice Cube]

Entries are obviously closed, but an update...

47-76 at the beginning of the contest, and they are at 53-86 now. That's a 6-10 record for those scoring at home. 23 games left!

 

[Rice Cube]

Tiebreaker update: Brett Jackson has 48 K's, while Starlin Castro is batting .281 before today's game.

 

[Rice Cube]

Tiebreaker update: BJax with 50 K, Castro at .283 batting average.

Cubs now have a 57-88 record, so 10-12 with just 17 games left to go.

 

[Rice Cube]

Cubs now 58-92, which means they've gone 11-16 so far. 12 games left.

Castro is hitting .285... Brett Jackson should have 54 K's now, including today's.

 

[Rice Cube]

Cubs at 60-99. So 13-23 with three to go.

Castro still batting .285, Brett Jackson at 55 K.

Castro still batting .285, Brett Jackson at 55 K.

I'm pretty close at 15-24!. I need 2 of 3 wins and I believe I'll win the contest.

 

[Rice Cube]

With the Cubs starting at 47-76, and now at 60-101, we have a "rest of season" record of 13-25 at the moment with one to play.

Castro is still hitting .285, while Brett Jackson now has 57 strikeouts.

We have a couple guesses at 13-26 and a couple at 14-25. Those are the only ones who are alive in the contest at the moment. Pins and needles!
