9th Annual Almost the Easiest World Series Contest on the Web - Game 7 Update



Wow what a crazy World Series and what an insane game 6.  That being said I figured I'd do a little house cleaning and post an update going into Game 7 tonight on who's still in the running.  Since no one correctly predicted the match up we have to move to total games in the series.

Kirk was the only participant to pick the Nationals as the winner, but most of the field picked the Astros to take the the whole thing and of those of you that picked the Astros we had 4 that correctly predicted the game would go 7, and as of right now there have been a whopping 19 Home Runs.  This isn't the Price is Right so the person who guessed the closest to the correct number after tonight's game over or under wins.  right now it really looks like race between Ben and RAZ if the Astros win.

Again thanks to everyone who played and I'll have an announcement either later tonight or in the next couple days.  I have jury duty unfortunately to deal with too.

Almost the Easiest World Series Contest on the Web 9 - League Championship Break Down

Wow what an interesting round of baseball.  The Nats swept the Cards, and the Astros finally took out the Yankees.  I'm going to be rooting for the Nats in this one.  No offense to Astros fans or the bulk of you who picked the Astros to win.  I just love rooting for the underdog.  Lets just hope all that time off hasn't cooled them down. 

It would have been a very different landscape had the Yankees been able to take the series, but as it is we have a David and Goliath match up here.  The bulk of the picks were for the Astros and rightfully so, but one man picked the Nats to go all the way.  Not only picked the Nats but picked them early.  Way to go CaptKirk42

Nobody that picked the Astros picked the Nationals as their opponent is it'll come down to games and dingers to decide that winner if the Astros take the series.

Enjoy the World Series and thanks to all those who played I'll be back after the series to announce the winners.

The finalists:

Sorry for the delay.

Here are the official entries into this year's contest.  We had 27 entries this year. Not too bad.  Looks like the overwhelming favorite with you guys is the Astros.  I also had someone post as Unknown, I left them in, but obviously I have no idea who that is so unless someone claims that entry very quickly I'll disqualify it.   Other than that I wish every one good luck and I'll have an update after the divisional series are over.
