The Bucs finish the season 67-95. Here's the pre-season prediction contest thread. Almost everyone was too optimistic. (Can you believe it? We were too optimistic?!) Psk984, however, wrote this:
65-97
680 (runs scored and) 750 (runs allowed)
Just for doomsday's sake.
Well, doomsday came true, psk! The Pirates actually allowed 44 runs more than you predicted while only scoring 11 more. You are the winner of Bucs Dugout's 2006 Prediction Contest. Your prize is a copy of Jimmy Pol's CD Jimmy Pol Cheers the Black & Gold, which features the "Pirates Power Polka." E-mail me your address and I'll send it out to you.
