BCB World Series Contest And LCS Contest Results

Yelloncard_tiny by Al on in News Comment 111 comments

With the LCS over, it's time to announce the two winners of the respective league contests.

Five BCB readers (HectorVillanueva, frustratedfan, santoswoodenlegs, dtpollitt, and No Southern Belle) picked the Rockies to sweep. No Southern Belle completed this pick by getting the total number of runs scored exactly right -- 26 runs were scored in the series.

Thirteen BCB readers picked the Red Sox in 7 (Goat Whisperer, ChiCubsFever, Chanman25, CubbieBeerFan21, gdog, Tangled Up In Blue, okiecubbie, getbusywinnin, quarryfan, CubbieCurt, akbeck98, davewillie, and letsplaytwo). Chanman25 wins for coming closest to the total # of runs scored, picking 79. The actual run total was 83.

Congratulations to both -- please email me so I can send you your prize. It's a copy of the "Chasing October" DVD.

Now, let's do the same for the World Series. Pick your winner, and we'll use the same tiebreakers: number of games and total number of runs scored. I'll close off comments on this thread just before game one on Wednesday evening. There will be a different prize for this contest.

UPDATE [2007-10-24 17:40:54 by Al]: The WS contest is closed. Good luck to all!

thanks for more light shedding
on Don Levin - who owned Apple Distributing for a bit as I recall. I bought all my "head supplies" back "in the day" at the Apple store (not Apple Computers) on California, close to my High School.

Levin SEEMS like a great choice and would TRULY keep the fans first.

Lou Weisbach, former CEO of HALO, is also part of the "Canning Group", and the guy is bad news - his company went belly-up, taking my investment money with him.

They guy is a <ahem> - male anatomy part.

The whole thing though, seems as if it is mired in muck and will continue to drag on...

Wait 'til next year. And the next. And the Next. And the next after that too.
