Week 12 Results!

scottnak — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 01:05:05 -0000

Well here we are again! Another Saturday means another run down of how things are going in the pregame picks world.

For this week, 3 people grab the top score of 10 points: Big Game Hunter, reddawnman, vlad IS my man. Nice work!

Overall, it's no surprise to see 44FAN still on top. But the lead has shrunk by 2... The battle for 2nd is quite crowded! Anyone could pull ahead any time.

And just in case people missed it last time, there was a mistake in the Wk 9 entries. If your screennames fall inbetween DougT and firebird81 your values were shifted by one person. They're fixed now (and highlighted in yellow).

A good reason why you should always check to make sure things are entered right. Thing like this happen! Be aware on what happens to your scores! And get find a way to message me asap!

Also re: the mixup that occured a few days ago with the pregame picks. If things are ambiguous, and you're not getting a response fire off an email to try for a quicker response! And if there's a discrepancy between the posted question (from the Rev) and the form (from me) go with the POSTED question (from the Rev).

That's aboot it!

Week 11 Results!

scottnak — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 20:12:28 -0000

Whoops. I'm a bit late to the punch this week. Oh well. Something extra for you to digest while you get ready for the next game!

Week 11 showcased vladtheimpaler's impressive prognosticating skills by nabbing 12 points this week and capturing the top spot! Congrats! To see how the rest of you did, click that link and find out for yourself!

As for the Overall Race, 44FAN's lead increases by 1 and is doing his best to emulate the gap you can see in the NL West. Seems like it will be difficult to catch him, but... who knows. All it takes are a few games to bounce up to the top and to fall down...

Make sure you make today's runs n' hit picks!

Oh yeah. If anyone in interested in seeing my pics from europe you can either hit me up on facebook or if you don't have one... you can use this link

Which I think should let you see 'em w/o having a fb account. Yup yup!

Final Score: Dodgers 6, Angels 4

RevHF Reporting: It was nice to walk around the city of Los Angels with an Angels hat tonight. I missed the game and everyone in L.A. who likes the Dodgers was somewhere else.

And in this regard, the Angels ruled L.A. tonight courtesy of my hat.

The bottom line is that when Jered Weaver performs this poorly, I don't even submit this postgame thread for distribution to Yahoo Sports. Funny right, we work hard to get this blog into the position where Halos Heaven is the unquestioned mothership of the Halos fan presence online but with one embarrassing loss to the Dodgers, instead of analyzing the contest to a national audience via our prominent link on the biggest sports website on earth with whom I am partnered up, here I stand, head in hand, turned my back to the wall, if she's gone I can't go on, feelin' two-foot small. Everywhere people stare, each and every day, I can see them laugh at me and I hear them say "Hey you've got to hide your love away... Hey you've got to hide your love away."

Hopefully we perform better tomorrow at 5 PM on ESPN's Sunday night baseball game.

CGSO: Complete Game Shutout

Browse more photos »

Final Score: Angels 6, Padres 0.

The Angels seem to be jelling into a successful one-upsmanship. Juan Rivera hit two homeruns in Sunday's game, a day after Torii Hunter hit three. Jered Weaver went 9 innings for a complete game shutout after Joe Saunders had gone 8.1 last night.

The victim of this new standard of living in Anaheim was the San Diego Padres ... Swept a hundred miles from home.

The Angels played the three game series in a rejuvenated manner, with fewer mishaps than in recent weeks, aware that Howie Kendrick and Jose Arredondo have been sent down to the minors and probably quite aware that Tony "The Ninja" Reagins could pull a trade at any moment.

For all the talk about the weaker National League West, the team is on the schedule and the Angels showed up to play them. Jered Weaver left no doubt about what a first round draft pick can deliver and who the ace of the staff is

Week 10 Results!

scottnak — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 07:09:32 -0000

Quick and Concise Edition!

Week 10 resulted in two people topping the list, both nabbing 10 points each: leftwing and OntariGro! Congrats!

Cumulative Results... has no change in the leader. 44FAN still tops the charts despite a weak week 10. Unfortunately last week's top 4 also had a fairly weak week, so 44FAN maintains his healthy lead!

Also a note that the misses log have been dialed back 3 misses. Remember, you get 3 misses (that is, you use the form but fail to read the many messages that tell you to also post in the comments) befor eyou start losing points. The amount of points lost increase with each time you can't understand howt o play the damn game correctly.

Get ready for another week!

Post-Vacation (aka Week 08 + 09) Results!

scottnak — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 04:45:41 -0000

I wonder if anyone kept track of how they were doing while I was gone?

... haha yeah right. well. There were certainly some big movements while I was gone! Possibly due to the fact we had a bunch of those all or nothing questions while I was away... some people capitalized on those opportunities...

Week 08 had newly crowned leader 44FAN to lead the way with 13 points! An impressive gap of 4 pts from the person who placed in 2nd that week! Yikes!

Week 09 was quite a week! 13 people share the top spot who each earned 12 points! 13 people?! That's insane! Many different combinations to get to 12 too... if only someone coulda squeaked out an extra point somewhere...

NOTE: The standings had a small problem, where values were shifted around if you had a name that starts around the S-T area! They have been fixed now.
And so let's take a look at the (finally) updated current standings! 44FAN not only keeps the lead but extends it by a wide margin!
Also... New stuff added. You can now see what your rank was the last update & the change
(I just realized the change values are wrong. If its positive, it should be negative and vice versa. Oops)

Well. That's all for now! See you next saturday (with regular updates again!)

Week 07 Results + Announcement!

scottnak — Sun, 24 May 2009 17:28:26 -0000

Heyy everyone. An early morning edition of the Results Show, and slightly abbreviated edition to make room for the important announcement

Anywhoo. Week 07 resulted in a decent scoring week with two people hitting the high point at 10 points: AllHailErstad and bc56274. Alas both missed yesterday's game... missing an opportunity to gain some more points? The rest of the results are here.

And we take a look at the cumulative results. 44FAN was able to overtake both Brew Angel and teopeht and take the top spot overall with 55 points. The rest of the results are here.

---

Announcement: After tonight, I will be gone until June 7th on a mini-trip to Europe! Just graduated yesterday (woo) and basically taking some time off. This does not mean the games will stop while I'm gone. The forms are ready to go. And the games will go on as usual!

But don't expect results to be up on the day of the game.

As... who knows if i can get internet access. Possibly, but who knows. They might not come up until after the trip. Though anyone is free to post the results, they aren't official... I'll probably end up checking them myself in the end anyhow.

If there are any mistakes, make sure you note it in the comments. There's no way I can come in and fix it quickly. And please follow the rules to make my life easier!
1) Use the form
2) Post in the comments something
3) Check the link above the form to *ensure* your picks went through!

That's all! Now. Scroll down and make your picks for today's game
