2004 Win Contest. Back on April 4, I posted the entries for my Red Sox Win Contest. Boston won its 97th game of the regular season this afternoon. With two games left, the Red Sox will finish with 97, 98 or 99 victories. Here are the entries still in the running:

                  Wins  Pedro ERA  Manny SLG

Valmoose            99    2.19      .623

Brian Donovan       99    2.37      .575

Alexander Campbell  99    2.60      .582

Naomi               99    2.97      .578

 

Franco Baseggio     98    2.60      .590

 

Ben Mahnke          97    2.97      .574

Joe Gionet          97    3.02      .584

However, in case of a tie, the contestant who came closest to guessing Pedro's ERA would be the winner. Martinez's ERA was 3.90 (the highest of the 25 estimates was 3.10), so it's actually down to these three entries:

                Wins

Naomi            99

Franco Baseggio  98

Joe Gionet       97
