Wow. Looks like Bloker swept the board to come from pretty far off the pace to get it done, right by James Hat who picked up a nifty 323.00 for his day's work. If any of you guys paid attention to my Toronto game, it sure looks like my luck ran out this afternoon. Never saw a team give away a game like that in extra innings.

All four guys on the plus side. Great handicapping, guys. And a big congrats to Bloker for an off the charts day.

What an insane day Bloker, congrats & well deserved after that performance.

 

[JOH]

Part II of our Baseball Series has evolved into a run of last day comeback rallies as Bloker becomes the latest to run the table on a Sunday and come from way out of it to take the Week 5 prize of $100. It seems Michelangelo and Bloker have dominated lately but still 6 weeks to go, barring any more dropouts. Congrats to Bloker for a job well done.

Too bad our roster keeps shrinking as this format gives the Baseball Capper a great chance to make a little change just in time for the Football season. There's just too many out there to ignore the opportunity. Payouts weekly means your money isn't tied up long and for $25 with winner takes all, the more the better.

 

[Bloker]

Thank you gentlemen! It's always a big surprise when a perfect day comes along like that.

I saw that Cubs game, MA. That was unbelievable. I thinks the Cubs will be peaking at just about the right time for the playoffs.

Going to treat myself to the White Sox doubleheader this afternoon with my winnings. LOL

Good luck going forward!

Excellent job Bloker!! Congrats

I put a "Contest" post in the Bases Forum hoping to find some new players. Looks like "spiderwebb1983" will be joining us. Hoping for more.

Good luck spiderwebb.

Copying this from the Baseball Forum where I put up a post about the Contest. Would appreciate it if you could take it from here, JOH.

I tried to figure this out for you Cheddar. I signed and paid for the full season's weekly contests a while ago so I needed to rejog my memory.

Go to:

"Community Contests" Forum

Click on (at the top):

"Official Weekly Baseball Contests Picks and Standings Thread Part II"

Go to:

Post #594 (8/21/17)

Click on:

"Enter Daily Baseball Picks Here"

Signup info (click on) and the Contest rules are here.

Also the Picks entry "click ons" are also there. If you want to do a "dry run" you can enter any name on the "Poster Name" box, under "other" and sill in the contest boxes to get an understanding of what to do any day you have entries.

Obviously enter your real name after you sign up, pay, and take a security code.

After I typed all that, things may seem a bit complicated but it's easy as pie once you understand the few things you need to do.

JOH is running the contest. I'm just a player. If you have any other questions put them in that "Contest" thread. JOH will respond.

I'm going to copy this to that thread.

Welcome and good luck. Hope you have some fun with us. The guys who have been playing are good guys. Nothing cutthroat. Just good, clean competition.

[Michelangelo]
