It's baaaaack! Unlike the Astros who are off to a fast start, we are a bit late on the ball. We will award a lid to the winner.
You ready... here you go...
RACE FOR THE LID XIV
Contest Rules:
1. Whatever the rules are, BudGirl (your RFTL judge and jury for 2012) can change them any time for any reason, including whim. The purpose of this rule is not to promote chaos, but to preempt wailing, moaning, whining, and griping. Particularly griping.
2. Picks below 80 should not win, even if they’re right they’re wrong. They will be accepted and you can be a winner but no one will like you.
3. All picks are in this thread. Picks out of this thread are DQ’d unless BudGirl changes the rules.
4. One pick per person.
5. If there are gaps in the high picks, say, between 95 and 162, the high pick gets the gaps down to the next highest pick. This does not work in reverse, i.e., below 95. We all lose if the Astros win fewer than the low pick.
6. The grand prize, of course, is an Astros cap of BudGirl's choosing from Astros.com. BudGirl is allowed to make rulings on prize disputes that may arise...namely, she gets to tell you to go to hell if you whine that you should get the prize!
7. NO PICKS WILL BE ACCEPTED UNTIL THE OFFICIAL COMMENCEMENT TIME, WHICH IN THIS CIRCULAR DEFINITION WILL BE ON OR ABOUT 10:00 a.m., Wednesday, April 11th and will close Friday, April 13th at 10:00 am. Anyone who posts before then will be DQ'd. No picks will be accepted after the time shown in the previous sentence. Picks in any previous thread will not be included
8. Ron Brand will assist in the verification of picks. He will also assist in any additional matters determined by BudGirl.
9. If there is no correct pick BudGirl and Ron Brand will find a winner by a method of their choosing.
10. Here’s the list of past winners:
2011 – no winner
2010 Lurch
2009 Ron Brand
2008 EasTexAstro
2007
2006 Fredia (who PM'ed me and called me every name in the book... misspelled of course)
2005 Drew Corleone
2004 Andyzipp
2003 Jim R
2002 no winner
2001 Neil T. (See how arbitrary and capricious his rulemaking can be? He didn’t even enter the contest until the 161st game, right after he disqualified the real winner.)
2000 no winner, but one heck of a whiner
1999 Astrobabe
Good Luck and may be the best fan win!

The shocking thing is that HH hasn't individually told every guesser why their number is completely, categorically wrong.

159. One more loss, then they sweep the rest of the season.

When will the lost be? I don't want to tune in for that one.

I'm sticking with my original guess. 108. The Braves series was an abberation. A blip. A momentary setback is all.

Glad we've gotten past that.

I almost warned you but it might have changed future events.

Geez, forgot to check in on the wrong day, I guess. Appears 95 is still available.
