Around SBN: NFL Players Ready To Welcome Gay Teammate

Just A Bit Outside - May 23

Welcome to our May contest: "Just A Bit Outside."

The contest is simple:  Before each game you have to guess two things:

1) Number of called balls thrown by the opposing team

2) Number of walks issued to the Dodgers (yes, intentional walks count)

No multiple guesses on the number of balls; it is OK, however, to have multiple guesses on the number of walks.  Only guesses in that day's contest thread, posted before game time, will count.

The person who wins the most games in May will win a copy of Bluetopia on DVD!

On a side note regarding the 5/22 game…
Hey Eric, It looked to me like you night have missed Arredondo’s and Fuente’s balls? The actual count should have been 63 I think.
