This post is for the Tuesday, June 19th game in Pittsburgh. I will be going on vacation later this week and will be unable to update scores from this coming Friday (6/22) to next Thursday (6/28). Here are several options for how the game can be handled during this time:

1. I can post all games for this time period and update when I get back.

2. I can post for games for this weekend (Tigers series) and some one else can score this series and post and score for the Phillies series next week. If some one volunteers, I will send them my very unsophisticated Excel scoring/tracking spreadsheet and they can e-mail it back after the Phillies series.

Please use the comments section to let me know what you want to do.

Today's Pitchers:

LHP Scott Diamond (5-2, 2.13) vs. RHP Kevin Correia (2-6, 4.43)

The Game Rules:

[ A ] Please put your prediction in the title line which should begin in the format: Pirates xx Opponent xx

e.g. Pirates 5 Twins 3

Putting the Pirates score first, then the opponents score makes tallying points much easier.

[ B ] Please make the full prediction, instead of a "+1" to someone else whose prediction you agree with

[ C ] Don’t worry about minor spelling mistakes, like "Piartes". We can handle those.

PERFECT GUESS 5 POINTS NAILING ONE TEAM SCORE 2 POINTS

Update:

Unlike on the field, it was a quiet weekend here at the game (que the sound of crickets chirping....). God Loves guessed one score correctly for each game of the Indians series and, as a result, wins the weekly series and extends the Season series lead. czBuc finished second for the week. Kareem of Wheat, Da Wolf at the Door, and SteelChamps!! each correctly guess one game score to tie for third with Shrowd and that412kid for third place last week. Congratulations to all!

Thanks for playing and Let's go Bucs!
