Prediction Time!

Posted in Uncategorized by twinfan1 on March 31, 2013

The starting 9 position players ( Blanco and Torres are considered starters ) and 6 pitchers are required. The required stats are xFIP, XERA, BABIP, and UZR/150…just kidding.
Required for position players are BA, HR, RBI. For the 5 starting pitchers it’s W-L, ERA. For Romo it’s W-L, saves and save opportunites. Very basic stuff. I’ve added OPS for the position players and WHIP for the pitchers. You may add any stats you like. There’s no prize (unless Craig decides to award one later), there is just the pride in knowing that you sucked less than everybody else.
And additional required prediction is the order of finish in the NL West and the Giants W-L record. Since there is no prize, feel free to use other Flapper’s numbers as a guide, no need to hide your picks to prevent someone from stealing them.
And remember- unless you make the required predictions you may not laugh at, trash, or snicker derisively about other predictions.
So have at it!
( you’ll have until noon tomorow to make changes – if you make any, repost your entire prediction slate, not just the change)

Uh, it didn’t help…

So it’s happened 26 times, Gallardo was the last one to do it. 26 times? Shit, that wild trifecta of HR/hit a HR/GameWinningHit sounds a lot more unusual than a perfect game (in my opinion).

Happy Birthday, Kevin and Eric.

Slightly off-subject, but not entirely because we’ve done haiku here, but the nytimes.com home page has haiku poems composed algorithimically from words in the news. Kinda cool.

Birthday greetings to Eric and Kevin.

About the only thing the media has missed on Ware’s injury is a haiku about it.

Was there a Joe Theismann haiku?

Anyhow, baseball’s back! Pablo was the only Giant making solid contact. Although Pence hit a couple hard outs. And happy birthday to Wisco and the irishman.

I’ve posted this before – it’s generally considered the greatest all around day a pitcher ever had, Flav:

Had to look at the Giants box for that day. A trip down memory lane . . . except for LF Floyd Wicker?

  Floyd Wicker hit one career homerun. Naturally he hit it off Floyd Weaver.

Sandoval and Cain still showed they be studs.
And looking forward to the movie “42”. Another complete baseball stud

  Yep, whenever I think of what Jackie Robinson did for baseball, I hear a Jay-Z song.

    You’re a strange, strange man Macdog.
    Seriously?
