Re: CONTEST ........ $50 PAYPAL PRIZE ..........

I'm getting married in May and both my fiance and I have jobs lined up in August but nothing for the summer. We have decided to sell her car and have a garage sale (pretty much sell EVERYTHING that is replaceable), and then elope for the summer. We are going to drive around the country and be crazy.

It isn't the smartest idea we have ever had but we have convinced ourselves it can be done and there is no going back now. I'll be listing all but 10 of my cards on ebay in the next couple of weeks so check my photobucket and let me know if you want anything.

Bid on my eBay auctions. More added every day!

Are you selling the numbered oswalts?
Are you going to Provide a pricelist before listing on ebay?

Re: CONTEST-Only 6 days to get your entry in for entire season

The Pujols Q has holes. For example, what if he hit 2 more HR, and had 10 less RBI and a .005 less ave.? No way to say if that is better or worse than his averages. I personally think all entrants should kick in $5 to raise the stakes.

I would say that is about his average.
I agree it is a subjective question, but since it is my contest, i can be the judge (grin)

Probably the way I will determine (if it is not OBVIOUS), is if 2 of the three stats would be both higher or lower by 5%(avg) or 10%(rbi/hr).

E.G. Assuming 330BA 34HR 115RBI is average:

Two stats must be higher or lower
above his avg = 346BA 37HR 126RBI
below his avg = 314BA 31HR 104RBI
