Here is an update on the Newbie Boxpass Baseball Standings Contest. There are only 8 days to go until 6/15, the official standings date to determine the winner. The contest cigars made it back to me last month and they are waiting in my coolador to be sent out to the lucky winner. BTW: There are a couple of ISOM's in there! I'll add 1 or 2 bonus sticks as a 'thank you' for participating.

New York Yankees: 35/20 or .636. BigPapi68 has them at .630.
Boston: 33/23 or .589. loosecard.
Oakland: 31/24 or .564. Archimark1 is riding this horse.
Florida: 32/25 or .561. OlafFub.

Seth Gekko (NYY at .766) and me (NYY at .729) are mathematically eliminated, so better luck next time.

BigPapi68 is in the lead, but any of those four teams could get hot this week and win for their riders, so stay tuned.

OOPS!! I rechecked my paperwork, and the contest ending date was set at June 11 (after the games of June 10). So the contest ends this week.

Well it's all wrapped up: no one can catch BigPapi68.

Congratulations on the call, very close to catching it on the nose!

Priority Mail box is on its way to you. Since the PO will be taking a holiday tomorrow, I dropped it off today to get it moving. With any luck, it will be in the hands of the airlines tomorrow while the PO rests. Saturday delivery is not out of the question, but Monday is prolly more likely.

Thanks again to all participants.

It just dawned on me that today was the tenth!

And seeing as I don't follow MLB, I went there to find out where we stood....

The dang Yank-me's have it... go figure.

Congrats BigPap! Hope you enjoy them (I know you will).

D'oh!!
