Biggio Contest

So since I am an absolute fanatic about the Houston Astros, and that Craig Biggio has been my favorite player since I was little, and I haven't done a contest yet, I figured I could combine all 3.

As some of you may know, Craig Biggio is inching towards 3000 career hits. He stands at 2984 as I am writing this after a double in today's game.

I want you all to predict the day that Biggio will hit the 3000 mark. As a tie breaker I want to know what inning and what type of hit (single, double, triple or HR).

Your last post is the one that counts and all entries must be posted by midnight Saturday (Central time).

The winner will get a nice little sampler from me.

Game On!!!!!

July 5th vs Mets, 8th inning, on a single.

I think it will take a little longer, he isn't hitting very good on the road.
July 23 at home against the LA Dodgers in the first with a Homerun

July 8th vs the Mets. Single grounder past the second baseman.

July 18th - 7th inning - single

July 20th 4th inning single against the pirates.

July 18th 4th inning on a Home Run....

JULY 6TH vs Mets 5th inning single

Come on people, this is an easy contest!!!

And I promise I won't send out dog rockets:smiley11:

Just one more day. Closes at midnight tomorrow (Saturday) central time.

And I am predicting Saturday 7/7 against the Mets with a double in the 5th.

July 21st v. Pittsburgh- 3rd inning- double

June 29th 3rd inning single.

Mills is looking good right now. Eight hits left, Biggio averages about one hit per game, and there are 7 games between now and Mills' pick. However, I think they're taking Biggio out of the lineup for tomorrow's game, so if that happens and he hits a 2-3 game slump then I'll be in the money. :smiley17:

They normally rest him on day games following night games. And the early picks are definitely looking better.

Got a few nice ones all picked out and ready to go :smiley37:

Only 4 short as of this morning.

They'll definately rest him now. Only 3 games before they're home for 11. The way this season is going, if management doesn't make sure to let Biggio get the hit at home, there will be riots in the streets.

Plus I have tickets for the first 6 games of the homestand so i can see it live! :smiley16:

Mills is lookin pretty good right now with a 6/29 pick.

Go 'Stros!!!

Wooo! Congrats to Mills! I should have stuck to an earlier date. :smiley17:

I'm sorry you weren't there to witness it, Kyle. I still have my autographed program from when I attended my first 'Stros game when I was 8-10 years old.

:smiley35::smiley35::smiley35::smiley35::smiley35: :smiley35::smiley35::smiley35:

Stoopid work!! The one game i don't get to because of work, Biggio decides to go ape :smiley35: and go 5 for 6.

At least I got to hear Milo make the call. Plus we won!!!!!!!!!

So congrats to Mills, only 1 day off, I'll put something together and get it out to you.

spiffy

Congrats Mills!:smiley32::smiley37:

Congrats mills! I wasn't at the game but my 3 year old boy was he he loves baseball, the Astros and Biggio. So I'm going to frame his ticket with something else of Biggio's

So Mills...is the address in your profile good?

They are boxed up and ready to head out the door.

Congrats,

spiffy

I certainly hope his address is still good... I sent him a small package yesterday based on the address in his profile.

Heads up Mills!
