This post is for the Wednesday, June 27th game in Philadelphia. Thanks for your patience as the vacation was great! Special thanks to GermanBucco for covering yesterday's game. I was unable to post yesterday's game before I left because on limits on the number of fanposts per day and forget to post yesterday when I returned home (sometimes life gets in the way).

Also, I will be posting tomorrow's game a day early as I will be unable to post tomorrow. Sorry, for all of the posting ahead of time, but sometimes I have limited internet access.

Today's Pitchers:

RHP James McDonald (5-3, 2.32 ERA) vs. LHP Raul Valdes (2-0, 1.84 ERA in relief; No starts this year & no more than 2.0 innning in any relief appearance)

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 Phillies 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:

Congratulations to Kareem of Wheat and that412kid, who each finished with 6 points to end the week in a tie for first. Congratulations also to Garrett122, God Loves, and pittbluedevil for correctly guessing two scores during the week to finish tied for second.

Overall, the top four remain unchanged, but pittbluedevil moved into a tie for fifth with MDBuc. Meanwhile, that412kid, grambo119, Garrett122, and GermanBucco continue to add points and move into sixth to ninth (tie between Garrett112 and GermanBucco) to round out the top ten.

As for this week, Steel Champs! and GermanBucco are tied for the lead with two points and are also the only two players with correct guesses this week. I will post this week's scores starting Friday as I will be unable to post tomorrow.

Thanks for playing and Let's go Bucs!
