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!

Brendan regains the lead for the month, narrowly beating the 60/4 guess of DonovanNeb I apparently can't count. The actual total was 63 balls, and RutgersDodgerFan won. Sorry Brendan!

55 balls
4 walks
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.
Good catch
Weaver – 39
Speier – 4
Oliver – 12
Arredondo – 2
Fuentes – 6
Total – 63
