With three games remaining on the schedule, let's look at the entries in the 2017 W-L Contest. The Red Sox are 92-67 - and will finish with 92, 93, 94, or 95 wins. Chris Sale's ERA (the tiebreaker) is 2.90 - and he may not pitch again until the ALDS. The entries for those possible win totals:
W-L SALE ERA Anthony D 95-67 2.18 Kathryn L 95-67 3.07 Jeff M 95-67 3.12 Michael G 94-68 3.27 Jim M 94-68 3.38 Dr. Jeff 94-68 3.40 Barry W 94-68 3.45 Shawn K 94-68 3.45 Matt K 94-68 3.57 Jeff L 92-70 3.08 Miles L 92-70 3.11 Ian R 92-70 3.68Removing the entries that would lose in the tiebreaker (assuming Sale does not pitch this weekend), it's come down to:
W-L SALE ERA Kathryn L 95-67 3.07 Michael G 94-68 3.27 Jeff L 92-70 3.08In honour of Pedro, maybe we can get Sandra Bullock to announce the winner ...
What if the final record is 93-69? Does Michael or Jeff win?
ReplyDelete1 game left. A win and Michael G. wins. A loss and Jeff L. wins (but humble Allan would be the ONLY one to get the record right).
ReplyDeleteWell Done to Allan for winning his OWN Competition !!!!!!!!! T-Shirt & Book are on Order ...... That is rather funny !!!!!!! Next year you will have to bid 120 wins ?
ReplyDeleteSo, do I win? (Jeff L)
ReplyDeleteDo I get a date with Sandra Bullock like Pedro wanted? (Ha ha)
Oh, crap. "W-L must be exact." So no one wins.
ReplyDeleteSorry, Sandra.
I guess I'll roll the prize over to the ALDS.
