SPORTS CENTER CONTEST #97HOME TEAMSNow for something new and completely different
Normally for Friday Night Baseball, I would consider doing a Slaughter Rule. But there is one huge problem with that this Friday... MOST OF THE CRAPPY TEAMS ARE PLAYING EACH OTHER.
So I thought I would try something different.
Some of you may be familiar with this classic Baseball Song. It is sung at many baseball games during the 7th inning stretch...
TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAMETake me out to the ball game
Take me out with the crowd
Buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks
I don't care if I never get back
Let me root, root, root
For the home team
If they don't win it's a shameAahh.
For it's one,
Two,
Three strikes you're out
At the old ball game
So here is how this game will work... your job is to ROOT ROOT ROOT for the home teams
I'm going to provide you with three games featuring some of the worst teams in baseball
You job is to predict how many of the home teams will actually win... 0,1,2 or 3
It's that simple... you only have 4 different choices
And if you guess correctly, you will share the pool
INFORMATIONHere are your three games featuring the lovable losers
Each of these teams is in last place or second to last place in their divisions
I'm also providing you with their current win/lose record with the first number being their wins
