This post is for the Wednesday, August 1, game in Chicago.

Today's Pitchers:

RHP Jeff Karstens (3-2, 3.88) vs. Cubs LHP Travis Wood (4-6, 4.98)

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 Cubs 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

Good Luck and Let's Go Buc's!

Update:

I lost the scores from Satuday's game, so that was a failed experiment. This was particularly frustrating since I correctly guessed a team score. I do remember that nobody correctly guessed the game score, so the lost scores, did not affect the weekly championship. BadAndy is last weeks weekly champ with 10 points, blogue20 was second with six, and God Loves and BobDH tied for third with four points. The season and weekly totals have not been adjusted as I can not figure out how to delete the already posted spreadsheet. Uggghhhh!

Anyway, I will post this weeks updated Season and Weekly scores on Friday since the Bucs are off tomorrow.
