Neil has retired from being the producer of the game and I have no time.  What we need is someone willing to manage the game for the TZ and then do it.  Prizes don't need to be awared mind you, braggin' rights is always a good things too.

I can take this on, though it will be this weekend before I can set it up.  We'll extend the entry deadline into the first week of the season, so doubtful we'll get anymore 162 wins guesses.  But hey, juneberno.
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

any word?  I will take 91.
There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

News that is sufficiently bad somehow carries its own guarantee of truth.  Only good reports need confirmation.

I don't think this is the "official" game, but if so, 82.

You know, I usually am late to this game and all the numbers I'd pick are gone.  I figured, even if it's not the official record for RFTL, I'm getting my number in while I can.  Is 96 reasonable?  Hell if I know.  But I got a number this year (maybe)!

And here I thought we were posting our IQs after reading the Strohs/Olimpia/Beast thread. I figured at 102, I had a ways to go to catch up with the rest of you drunks.

I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.

Our winner is Chuck!   Noe will have your prize at the BUS for opening day next year.    It is a half eaten Goya Gift Basket, and tickets to a hot Vegas show.   Can you say High Roller Treatment Baby!
There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.
