PREDICTION CONTEST - RESULTS OF VOTE

This year with Bryan the Sticker Guy making his picks and Tony & Ed doing a separate entry, we have 12 total for $24.00. Same system - scored by 5-4-3-2-1 points if you have the team you predict in the top 5. Ok, lets get to it.....

VOTES

10: H-BOMBS, KOOPERSTOWN KIDS
Yes, the defending champ is getting the props based on that 2006 finish. Except from the Raven and Bob. Those were the two that aren't drinking the Big Daddy Kool-Aide. Yins gave me a bunch of votes last year too and I finished in 9th!! Buyer beware is all I got to say....

9: ROCK CATS, LOCKHORNS
Two teams with a good history. But both Tony and Eddie did not vote for Harv. Maybe payback for Harv getting on their case during the draft. The Cats were another top vote getter who did not get Bob's endorsement. Wow, a tough vote to swing is that Big Train.

5: 69'ERS, BIG TRAIN, BULLDOGS
I guess this would be the middle of the pack group. Interestingly enough, even though they did their predictions separate, Tony & Ed turned in identical entries. These teammates really do operate on the same page, huh...

4: OWLS
What is this, an anti-Steinbrenner/Yankees thing?

2: ALABAMA SLAMMERS
Geez, Al didn't even vote for himself!! Maybe just taking a low profile so he can sneak up on everyone, win the league, and be back for 2008! At least old-time buds Harv and Johnny Stasko gave the Slams a vote of confidence here.

1: PITTSBURGH O's
Ok, the only thing I can figure, is that there is an anti-Bucco sentiment at work here. Pujols, Beltran, Delgado, Mauer, Webb, and no one likes this team??? Keep in mind, Pujols was the overall #1 pick last year and that team won it all.... It could happen again.

These three guys don't like the Bucs either. Especially the Gloomy Gus on the left.
