:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

 

Ok I need to start buying lottery tickets.

 

The result is 6 IP, 93-64

 

Apparently, I win with my guess of 6 IP, 96-65

 

And you'll see me tomorrow with a stack of lottery tickets.

Hmm....My guess is that Maddux doesn't last long today.

 

5 IP, 85-47

[Joe_Cub]

7, 75-52

[Marco4]

8 innings - 91-65. I reckon he'll give up one HR, too.

[Balsa]

Maddux went 6 IP, for 87-60. With three homeruns. I'm not sure if that qualifies for a correct guess Robot. But it certainly was bad news.

 

I'll give the award to Joe-cub for his closest guess of 7 IP, 75-52. You get a cookie dude.

For Monday (*groan*) we have Carlos Zambrano pitching (hooray!).

 

Hopefully he'll teach those braves something about pitching.

My guess is.....7.2 IP with 115-78

[cbbryan]

I'm thinking........

 

6.2 IP 105-73

 

And he'll get a win, hopefully.

[Balsa]

Should we include wins or losses as a part of the contest?
