1-Year Today Contest

[CoventryCat86]

To celebrate one year at this forum, my home on internet cigar forums, I want to offer up this contest. There will be a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.

I want to know what the Cubs record will be for the week (starting with tomorrow night's game and including Sunday the 30th's game), and the scores for each game this week they play. The people closest to the right answer will receive their respective prizes. 1st the largest, and 2nd and 3rd getting smaller and smaller. In the unlikely event of a tie-breaker (since technically, the point differential in scores could end up a tie) you must also post what you think Maddux's ERA will be after Sunday's game next week and his K total.

Obviously no editing of posts after the last entry time which is 6:59 PM EST tomorrow. Also, no duplicate entries. That's it kiddies, go to town.

And yes, this is slightly complicated, but I love my Cubbies and I love baseball stats!

Why are you using Eastern Standard Time? Are you in a location where you don't recognize Daylight Saving Time?

Normally, I'd say 0-6 but the Cubs are lucky enough to be playing two LOSER teams this week in Chicago (the horrible Marlins and the pathetic Brewers).

Okay, the Cubs (who SUCK) have two schmucks starting on Tuesday and Wednesday, both with ERAs over SIX, (LMFAO) and you're slated to go against two of the best Marlins pitchers. You'll probalby win on Monday but forget about Tuesday and Wednesday:

Monday: Chicago 7, Florida 4
Tuesday: Florida 6, Chicago 3
Wednesday: Florida 7, Chicago 2

Thursday will be a banner day for the Cubs as they are OFF that day which means it's impossible for them to LOSE yet another game (good thing too because that sorry ass Rusch was scheduled to pitch)

Now on to Friday, if the Cubbies had any brains, they'd pitch Maddux on Friday but since they don't, we'll see Rusch lose AGAIN since the Brewers will be starting Bush. Okay you'll get your measly win on Saturday when Maddux goes against Davis but on Sunday, once again the hapless Cubs will LOSE when Zambrano faces Davis. Let's put some scores to these fiascos:

Friday: Milwaukee 6, Chicago 3
Saturday: Chicago 8, Milwaukee 2
Sunday: Milwaukee 4, Chicago 3

Oh, I almost forgot, 27 strikeouts and and ERA of 1.41

In case you want to follow REAL baseball teams, I have some questions for you:

Which two teams have the best record in baseball today?
Which two teams went to the World Series last year?

Hint: The answer to both of those questions is the same.
