Everyone Loves A Contest #12

With Opening Day exactly four weeks away, it's time for this year's Red Sox W-L Contest!

Correctly guess Boston's 2013 regular season record and win [something, possibly a very cool something].
Entries must be emailed to me and should include the following three items:

1. Predicted W-L record
2. Tiebreaker A: John Lackey's ERA
3. Tiebreaker B: Jackie Bradley's PAs

W-L guesses must be exact. Tiebreakers will be the closest guess, either over or under. If there is still a tie after (A), we'll go to (B).

Deadline: Monday, April 1, 12:01 AM.

    Keeping it a secret, eh? I think if you named the prize, more people would enter the contest.

    It is not a sure thing, so I can't. ... But, yeah, they would.

    Also, if you enter and you want to change your guesses before the deadline, you can.

    Just to clarify: Lackey's _season_ ERA, not just with the Red Sox, right?

    Full season ERA.

    I have trouble with reality, and guessing in this contest is based on reality. I think they are going to win 95 games every year. If I guess 80 or 85 wins I feel disloyal. I am child that way.

    Hey, I'm the one that always goes with 107 or 110 or something like that. What the hell, I don't need the prize! I'd rather be hopeful than right.

    I always guess a birth year from one of my kids. The oldest was born in '94! How's that for reality?!

    I imagine you'd find a different system if they were born in, say, 2001 or 2003!
