  1. Jets are really good this year, and I hope they win on Monday, hope its a good game. Thats all, I'll be back around in 10 months or so. -Dev
  2. haha, no worries, I have a solution. msubulldogs, PM me your address also. I've decided to award a Yankee fan winner and a Sox fan winner. msubulldogs, you'll be recieveing the Pesky auto and RobiforMVP will get a Yankees auto, so it makes more sense. And that way everyones happy.
  3. Thats a good point, If RobiforMVP doesn't come on to see he won within the next 2 weeks, then you will be the winner.
  4. Alright, were all finished! The Final 13 Games finished with the Yankees going 9-4 and there being a total of 139 Points, which means, RobiforMVP WINS! Heres a graph that shows how it added up. http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/2904/yankssox.jpg And even though hes a Yankees Fan, RobiforMVP can still enjoy the prize, a Johnny Pesky Autographed plaque, just PM me your address and I'll get it out to you within the next few weeks. Hope everyone enjoyed it!
  5. Alright, Just one game left! I will be at the Jets game tomorrow so I won't be able to post the winner(Simple Math will be sufficent to find out though) but once I get to a computer, I will announce the winner as well as what player it is their getting an auto of! Good Luck
  6. Last nights win was good. I would have perfered it to be on Tuesday because I was at that game and aside from a brawl there wasn't much I got from it. I'm actually happy Posada got suspended, I think it's a rest he could use and it will also give more time to see Cervelli and get Molina ready for any potential playoff action he might see. I'm really hoping we can do good on this upcoming road trip so that the Sox series won't nessisarily be important. Being 5 or 6 games up going into that and I'd be fine, 4 ok. But who knows becuase even if the Sox lose today, their still playing really good so even if the Division/WC are locked up, I have a feeling those will be hard-fought games just because playoffs will be 2 weeks away.
  7. So after 7 Games, it seems that low was the way to go. Thursdays game gave false hope as only 14 runs were scored the final three games. Sudboys looking the best right now as the average stays close around his 108 guess, but were only one 15-14 game away from throwing that right back up. As it stands, LoochnessMonster(who had the highest guess) would need to hope that every remaining game had a combined total of about 10 to win while Youkofnation(Closest after Spudboy who could win even if every game ended 2-1) needs a total of about 10 runs a game for the final 6, and everyone else inbetween. It's still very close, but with all these great pitching matchups we've been having, it seems like Sudboy could be taking this.
  8. I guess all it takes is a Yankee Stadium Game to Jump the points Totals.
  9. Alright, final streach, only about 11 hours before the start of Game 1 tonight so gets your pick in before its closed[with the first pitch]. If you want to track your progress, I'll be posting the Total Points so far as the games go as well as an average of what the final number will be. Good Luck!
  10. Well Wang has been pitching well when he was getting in. The only issue for me is he was pitching late in games we had respectable leads in, so the game in his hands may get away from him. It is interesting because their setting it up that Wang has one start vs the Leading Home Run Rangers before opening the series vs the Sox and then ending the series vs the Mets, not exactly easy road back. It could be a strength builder, if he can survive it, he's truly good to go, yet I see it as a showing of trust in our bats and bullpen if he shits the bed again. It's not a decision you can really get curious of upset about, Wang is a starter and has been one of our best the past few years so you can't erase all trust that you have for him just because your hitting a tough streak of games, and it's always better to have him get comfortable now as opposed to later in the season when the losses truly hurt us. For the Sox fans, do you think that they'll move Ortiz up in the lineup vs Wang given possible past success?
  11. Only about 9 days left to enter! So far we have only 7 entrys on a board where over 200 qualify so get your picks in!
  12. Just 150 by the time it starts, which would be June 9th, so you got a month to get there.

  14. Alright, here’s a little game I figured we could do to help make the rest of the Yankee-Red Sox games this season a little more interesting (Not to say they wouldn’t be anyways). This will be a total runs scored contest for the remaining 13 games. Simple enough, tell me a guess as to how many points you think the Yankees and Red Sox will score combined for the remainder of their matchups[regular season]. So, if in one game, you think the Sox will win 8-6, that’s 14; so like that for all of the 13 games (so if you think the sox will win every game 10-5, then your guess would be 195). Whoever has the closest guess as to the actual number will win. What will you win you ask? The winner will receive a framed autograph display of a Red Sox legend. It will be setup with a matted autograph and a picture or card. I don’t know who, I’ll decide which one to award later, but it will look like this one (I made that one when I was 15, so it will look better than this): http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/5185/doerr.jpg That is of Bobby Doerr, so it’s a player that even a Yankee fan can respect so this is also a must-do by all Yankee and baseball fans alike. Now this isn’t like the Price is Right, there’s no penalty for going over, so picking 1 isn’t a good idea unless your expecting a lot of Ties. The season series remains as such(Incase you want to base your scores on venue and time of season): Tuesday, June 9th @ Boston Wednesday, June 10th @ Boston Thursday, June 11th @ Boston Thursday, August 6th @ New York Friday, August 7th @ New York Saturday, August 8th @ New York Sunday, August 9th @ New York Friday, August 21st @ Boston Saturday, August 22nd @ Boston Sunday, August 23rd @ Boston Friday, September 25th @ New York Saturday, September 26th @ New York Sunday, September 27th @ New York So there’s the game breakup. I’ll need all the picks submitted, of course, before the first game, which is 23 days from today, so you all have some time to get this in! I’m going to say you need to have 150 posts to qualify just so no one who just joined can spam win-it. If there is a tie(two people are equal distance off from number but still closest) then well setup a postseason tie breaker, but we’ll worry about that if it happens. I think I explained it well enough, but if you have any questions, ask them before you submit your pick because I’ll be keeping my own notes of them and you can’t change it once you pick it!
