The 2005 MLB Challenge

[MadCapper]

THERECORDKEEPER2 used to run this thing. He tracked about 15-20 people daily. I am sure some of you recall this 2 years ago. I did it last year across the street. It kept things very exciting during the dog days of Summer. I will track around 20 people. I will track your actual plays and each play counted as 1 unit for the people who like to follow that way. You can keep any record you have from the beginning of the season in your own thread. But The MLB Challenge will start tracking your plays as of Today at 0-0 +0.00 units.

If anyone wants to have their plays and record tracked....sign in below.

(I will not be making any plays until next Tuesday)

[BetToWin]

[Boxslayer]

Count me in MC. I'll be here all season long.

 

[Glaken]

I have been doing this since day 1 of the MLB season in the Tracker Room, feel free to start your own threads in there. I can promise you your record will be updated daily through out the entire season.

We will also be keeping a separate Tracking Sheet for the NBA Playoffs if anyone is interested.

i am in. and i will start right now:

2 units each:
Nats+116.
Braves beat Day like a red headed stepchild, but he has had a long rest, ramirez shouldnt last long after a strenuous last outing and the braves should be sluggish with this their 3rd city in the last 72 hours. TJ Tucker is on injured list but ayala and cordero imo way much more than what the braves have to offer and braves pen is taxed from the last 2 nights.

SD-116

Again going with the travel angle here. Dodgers coming off big comeback win and Padres settling in nicely at home. If Pads get into the Blueboys BUllpen they will have the advantage.

tor-nyy 1st 5 under 5+105

both teams travelled into toronto after extensive travelling. my bet is the pitchers are way ahead of the hitters early on.


and here are the one uniters

one unit:
KC 1st 5 +270

Principle bet here. Lima has been getting rocked, but after that 1st inning last time out he settled down nicely. Santana is getting wins but he has not been perfect. Worth a shot that KC can get a lead after 5 innings.

Phillies-COL over 10-115

totals arent my thing, but with lidle and wright, i simply cannot pass this one up. rockies bats are bad but they should get some lucky runs in coors field east.

AZ-SF over 9

Both teams have high batting avgs and terrible middle relief.

 

[kellycrit]

sd 115

csx+120

balt pk

pitt+120

flor 2/1

sf 145

Guys....

Please post your plays in your own individual thread. Start a new thread with your plays each day.....

You can make plays for any amount of units you would like....I will track them at those units AND a sep column counting each play as 1 unit.

Just so to not make it crazy difficult for me to track, please post your plays in one thread each day. Don't start different threads in the same day.

I will track all your plays...

Sign in below if interested...

So far:

Thats correct....just keep doing what you're doing. I will start you off in the Challenge as 0-0 +0.00 units YTD.

 

[SSI]

[MadCapper]

Info:

(1) I will only be tracking the people who signed in this thread.
(2) If you dont assign units to your plays I will count them as 1 unit
(3) Unless you assign plays as "action", if a listed pitcher does not go, the game will not count
(4) Since this will be alot of work, please try to have patience and if I make a mistake, feel free to correct me in the MLB CHALLENGE STANDINGS Thread.

Thanks for the effort in doing this. This will not only be fun, but ultimately help everyone on the board.

Thats the goal.....I want to to be entertaining during the long dog days of summer andmore importantly it could be used as a tool to see who is hot and not

 

[Tulsa]

NEWPORT wanted me to track him, but you might save a spot for him in this! He would be a good participant...I'll let him throw his own hat in, but, just save a spot for your old pal, NEWPORT and let's see if he wants to participate! tulsa

 

[MadCapper]

Definitely a spot for Mr. Newport!

 

[Journeyman]

Madcapper we already have a tracking folder for this, Glaken has been keeping records...

 

[MadCapper]

Yes and he has been doing a tremendous job. But some people dont post in that section.

I am doing this on my own. It will be for the baseball forum.
