Opening Day is only two days away, so here's a reminder to enter this year's Red Sox W-L Contest.
Correctly guess Boston's 2014 regular season record and win a few prizes, including a copy of Don't Let Us Win Tonight, autographed by both authors.
Contest entries must be emailed to me and include the following two items:
1. Predicted 2014 W-L record
2. Tiebreaker: Xander Bogaerts's OPS (OBP+SLG)
W-L guesses must be exact. Tiebreaker winner will be the closest guess, either over or under.
Slightly Extended Deadline: Monday, March 31, 9:00 AM.
Last year's contest was easy.
ReplyDeleteI was dead wrong, of course, but it was easy to guess that they simply had to do better without Bobby V, but they couldn't possibly do all that much better. I reverted to the mean, split the difference, sat my habitual gloom down at the negotiation table with the hope-springs-eternal optimism of spring, and--voila!-- out popped the numbers.
This year? I have no frippin ghost of a clue what this team will do.
