Simple contest. Predict the final standings for the 2008 MLB season as well as the post-season contenders all the way to the World Series. You can include W-L record predictions if you like but it's not required. You have until Sunday March 30th at 8 pm to post/edit your predictions.

It's almost Schaefer time AGAIN!
Willets Point replied to Benjamin Grimm's topic in New York Mets Talk
I originally did it that way and then when the criticisms flooded in that I was not giving enough lauds to a certain CPF favorite I made a formula based on the box score that award points in a non-biased manner. I still got criticisms of under/over-valuing player contributions, so I kept tweaking the formula and it eventually grew into a 30-minute-per-game process. It's just not worth my time and effort to continue to be accused of bias in voting when I've done everything in my power to remove it. -

I'm not going to participate this year. I found it too time-consuming to spend 30 minutes a day running the boxscores through a complex formula. And usually after doing all that I'd either have a new asshole torn for not awarding enough points to a certain pitcher or Yancy would have already closed the thread and my vote would count for nothing. -
Well I've been fond of him for quite a while.

I think you could write a book called "Stalking Obscure Mets" where you randomly show up at Josias Manzanillo's family reunion and hide in the back of John Pacella's car. The book will write itself!

I remember liking Iceman. The rest of the list looks like crap.

Actually, Spitzer is Client # 9. Danny Partridge still stands (because I don't know who he is).

I hadn't heard that MLB is cracking down on people blogging and posting pictures from games they attend but came across this article on the topic: Major League Baseball vs Bloggers: A Librarian's Perspective. Sounds like more pettiness on the part of MLB to punish people for promoting their product.

I went to the cafeteria for lunch and decided to eat there instead of bringing back lunch to my office which I usually do. I was rewarded by seeing that this game was on the big screen tv in the dining room. On the down side, I got to see the Indians score 4 runs off my Ollie and some really shoddy fielding by anonymous Mets.

Frayed Knot wrote: Actually, the more I learn about legit Scrabble words the more I think that ALL 800+ names would be allowed. Nope. Seaver, Gooden, Dykstra, Wilson, and Hundley are not allowed for starters. Reyes, Beltran, Delgado, and Santana are also no-no's, although maybe they're permitted in the Spanish-language version of Scrabble.
