Wow seems like the Summer just flew by. And while I've had a hard time finding time and things to post about it's still contest time. The end of summer means baseball playoffs and that can only mean one thing, the Collector's Crack 4th Annual Almost the Easiest World Series Contest on the Web!!!
Been a wild year in both leagues. My team spent 150 days in first place this year and didn't make the playoffs.
No change in the contest. Same rules apply. I just want you to tell me who's going to win the World Series. But of course more than one person might pick the right team, so we have to have some tie breaks. So for tie breakers I want you to tell me who the opponent is, how many games in the series, and total home runs hit during the series, both teams.
So your entry should look something like this
Detroit over St Louis, 5 games, 12 HRs.
Pretty straight forward right? So what will you win? Well I've been socking away great stuff all year The winner will receive a great prize package, plus I'll probably throw in a some cards from your favorite team. I'll post more on the prizes later after I dig them out.
But wait that's not all. I will be doing a door prize again just for entering everyone is in. And if you happen to have a blog and want to promote my contest you will receive an extra entry. The list will be entered into Random.com's list randomizer and randomized 3 times.
Alright well I have to leave town for one more work trip. I should be back by Oct 6th. I'm opening the contest from now till next Sunday noon Alaska time, 4pm on the East coast. That being said I know that there are still the one game wild cards and by Sunday there will already been two divisional playoff games, so you're more than welcome to wait till later in the week to make a guess.
Here are the teams to choose from.
American League
Baltimore Orioles
Detroit Tigers
Kansas City Royals
LA Angels
Oakland Athletics
National League
Washington Nationals
St Louis Cardinals
Pittsburgh Pirates
LA Dodgers
San Francisco Giants
So get guessing. Don't forget to leave a link to your blog if you promoted the contest for your extra entry into the door prize.

DeleteMaybe I'm just highly suggestible, but I like your example and would like to claim it for my entry:

Detroit over Dodgers, 7 games, 8 home runs
ReplyDeleteDodgers over Orioles in 6 games 13 homers.
ReplyDeleteNationals over Tigers in 7 games. 7 homeruns.
ReplyDeleteBaltimore over the Nats 7 games 8 homeruns
ReplyDeleteDetroit over Washington 6 games 9 HR
ReplyDeleteDodgers over Orioles in 5 games. 8 HRs
ReplyDeleteMy actual guess will be the Orioles over the Cardinals in 6 games. 9 HRs.
ReplyDeleteMy wish is that it is the Royals vs. the Pirates, the winner of that series would be baseball.
It's kind of funny that 4 of the worst 5 teams (Royals, Nats, Pirates, Orioles) in the 21st century are in the playoffs this year. What's not kind of funny is that the 5th team is my Rockies.
I'm taking Dodgers over Orioles, 7 games, 8 homeruns.
ReplyDeleteThe final homerun will be a bat flipping HR by Yasiel Puig. Puig will flip his bat, then his hat, then do backflips, and, finally, he will flip everyone the bird. All this flipping will cause Buck Showalter, Kirk Gibson, and Joe Morgan to combust spontaneously from rage that the game is being played in such a way that violates all unwritten codes and rules of the game.
