Besides Opening Day the thing most every loves most on this board (not including the Bus Ride because I do enjoy that forum).
RACE FOR THE LID XVIII
Contest Rules:
________________________________________
1. Whatever the rules are, BudGirl (your RFTL judge and jury for 2016) 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.
________________________________________
2. A Pick is determined by the number of wins. 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. If multiple picks, first poster get the pick.
________________________________________
5. 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!
________________________________________
6. NO PICKS WILL BE ACCEPTED UNTIL THE OFFICIAL COMMENCEMENT TIME.
OFFICIAL COMMENCEMENT TIME:
BEGINS NOW and CLOSES Tuesday, April 5th at first pitch!!!!!
No picks will be accepted after first pitch on April 5th, unless BudGirl decides otherwise.
________________________________________
7. Verification of picks is determined by BudGirl. If she needs help, she will request it.
________________________________________
8. If there is no correct pick BudGirl will find a winner by a method of her choosing.

You know, you'll be the happiest poster of all if you win the lid. But with that attitude, I might send you a tupperware lid.

Ain't no party like a Tupperware party, 'cause a Tupperware party means we won 102.

#1 you didn't reference what number
#2 i make the decisions, so be careful i don't disqualify you.

86 has been chosen. if possible please choose another
-
110.
-
I think 83 is still open? I think I will be wrong in picking it, too.
-
110.
This is the happiest you've been in a decade.
-
86 has been chosen. if possible please choose another
Fredia - stop.
I have already told him. He has already chosen another number. Honestly, I think I do a pretty good job of running this little contest and do not need you to comment. I have no problem disqualifying you, after all you won last year. I cannot recommend more you not replying in this thread about your number again.
-
I have 100 already; I donate it to WFWRaup. I hope he wins.
-
109, because it's better than 83.

110

I blame Hinch.

I blame Gomez. And Ed Wade.

I blame Hinch.
cIf you'd have told me that McCullers would be limited to 14 starts, that Rasmus would be subpar, and that Keuchel would finish 9-12 4.55, I'd have bet the ranch that we'd wonn 74 oor fewer games.

congrats and hope everyone is well and happy for the start of the next race..
