New September Contest - "One, Two, Three Strikes, You're Out"

by Eric Stephen on Sep 1, 2009 1:26 PM PDT

Welcome to our new September contest: "One, Two, Three Strikes, You're Out"

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

1) Number of strikes thrown by the Dodgers

2) Number of strikeouts by the Dodger pitchers

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

New this month: any exact correct guess (both strikes and strikeouts) will be worth 1.5 wins.

The person who has the most wins at the end of September will win their choice of Bluetopia on DVD, a 2009 Dodger Media Guide, or a copy of "100 Things Dodgers Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die" by Jon Weisman.

90/6 that will work too

by NotJoeTorre on Sep 1, 2009 1:51 PM PDT up reply actions

Somebody took 90 about five minutes before you -

Last time I got shafted by having the same pick (accidentally) as somebody who won that day.
Be sure to check for that next time, and I’d just toss another number out here before somebody takes your second choice too.

Growing up in the Weinman household, you learn two rules very quickly if you aspire to reach double-digits in the years-of-age category: Hate thy Knick, hate thy Yankee.
