Anyone who's watched the Nats play much recently have no doubt been appalled by their excessive number of
- Errors, and
- Double Switches.
Face-palms abound in the stands these days. But now, you can turn that angst into joy!
How, you ask? Simple! Just guess how many errors the Nationals will commit during the remainder of the season, and how many times Jim Riggleman will exercise his knowledge of the double-switch rule! The best guesser will win a never-before-bobbled Nyjer Morgan Bobblehead! No purchase required!Contest starts with Friday's game versus the Dodgers, so get your calculators out. The Nats play 53 more games after the DBacks' series.
Rules:
- Entrants should submit guesses for the number of errors the Nats make from Aug 6th through the end of the season; how many double-switches Jim Riggleman performs, and, as a tie breaker, the number of times Willie Harris appears as a pinch hittter.
- The (absolute) difference between the actual number of errors and the guessed number errors, plus the (absolute) difference between the actual number of double-switches and guessed double-switches will be calculated for each participant. The entrant with the smallest sum of differences wins the bobblehead. In case of a tie, the difference in actual and guessed Willie Harris pinch hit appearances will be used. If there's still a tie, then a coin flip will decide the winner.
- Post your entries in this thread before the start of Friday's Dodgers game.
- And remember, it's all in fun.
Here are the Current Entrants and the Standings (I know it's not the prettiest thing, but it's pretty much all I know how to do with the tools available):
