'annual' if you skip 2019. Here's a spreadsheet for this, that should make tabulation and entry easier. If you don't want to, I'll copy it over for you later. [url]https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YielPWgFwlR_0LnMC6wEHoNa9_O5Sj4xyRsPQHApLnA/edit?usp=sharing

I'm so out of it baseball wise I'm not sure what our lineup is, who's available on the bench and who's on the IL. At least I remembered it's IL and not DL. I better get on the stick, mañana will be here before I know it.

I'll stick with 4-3 for my scorecard pick, but really, the overwhelming odds these days are that it will be K.

MetsMarathon has some blanks there that were completed here, that I completed and I added Frayed Knot. I also added the 'Actual' column and formulas to auto-score.

EXCITING UPDATE! Thanks to space-age spreadsheet technology, we've tabluated results so far and with just 2 categories to go (first walk-off RBI and first pitcher to hit a batter) our standings are as follows. These results also reflect correcting an earlier accounting error in which the first "hold" was incorrectly credited to Wilson when in actuality it was Familia: Transmonk 7 BMFC 6 Cal Sharpie 6 Frayed Knot 6 Ceetar 5 Lunchbucket 5 KC Mets 5 Ben Grimm 4 MFS62 3 Metsmarathon 2 A fabulous showroom full of prizes and deals awaits the top 4 point-scorers!

Johnny Lunchbucket Jul 29 2020 09:06 AM Re: Goodson/Todman Presents: The Annual Met First Sweepstakes!

WAIT. AN EVEN MORE EXCITING UPDATE!! Our team of auditors have revealed another accounting error - the extra-credit bonus is only to break ties and not an actual point! This means both Frayed Knot and Cal Sharpie have been docked 1 point each but hold "tiebreaker" advantages. It also appears we may need to institute another Tiebreaker. Stay tuned!!

I'm going to offer Delin Betances ten bucks to hit a batter the next time he's in a game.

Johnny Lunchbucket Jul 29 2020 10:22 AM Re: Goodson/Todman Presents: The Annual Met First Sweepstakes!

He can accept that bribe or trade it to Rick Porcello for an exciting mystery gift!

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 14 2020 06:08 AM Re: Goodson/Todman Presents: The Annual Met First Sweepstakes!

So here's an update. Diaz was the first pitcher to hit a guy and none of our contestants had that, so it's all coming down to who gets the first walkoff RBI.

It's all over! Amed Rosario went completely off the scoreboard, and so our leaders retain their order. Our winner with 7 points: Transmonk! In second place with 6 points: bfmc And tied for third with 5 points each : Frayed Knot and Cal Sharpie. The Monkman may now choose the grand prize behind one of three curtains. Which will it be? Curtain 1, curtain 2 or curtain 3?
