RULES

Phase I will last 50 days. Starts on Monday, April 6. Last day of selections will be Monday, May 25th.

Pick one baseball team each night to simply win their game. You cannot pick the same team twice. And have to select all 30 teams in baseball one time.

Contest lasts for 50 days. So seeing as how you need to pick every team in baseball one time and one time only, there will be 20 days you don't pick a game. Use those PASS days wisely when there is no strong selection amonst the teams you have left to use. All picks must be time stamped, in this thread, no later than the official start time of the game per MLB.com or else the pick is thrown out. While you don't have to post your picks until the start time of the game you are selecting (example: can post a pick for a 10:05 PM EST game at 10:01) ... you cannot change a posted pick once the days first game is underway.

The winner is the person with the most total wins after the May 25 games end. Each entrant will have picked exactly 30 games, each team in baseball one time, over a 50 day period.

$30 per player, winner take all.

The tiebreaker, once we get there, and if we need it ... will be to pick the winners of every baseball game on the last day of the contest, Monday, May 25th.

Jake Peavy and the Padres for win #1 this year

I forgot how much fun it is to root for the Pirates in the top of 9 down by 2!

I'm glad it's baseball season again

Thrilling start to the Pick 30. Jack Wilson stuns the Cards and new closer Jason Motte in the 9th. DBacks fight back to win 9-8.

Peavy not looking good, down 3-1. Halladay looking dominant up 4-0 over the Tigers.

I think both of you two ought to shutty.

29-1 gonna be good enough to take this thing down? :nanner:

Fuckin' Motte. Too early in the game to root for some deadly disease to be visited upon him. I'll save that curse for someone else down the stretch. But I still hope Motte's crank falls off. ;-) ;) :wink:

Actually, we need a rule on this.

You can change today if you want. As a rule though, I don't want people changing their picks after the days games have already started. Most nights, games don't start till 7 PM, you can change your mind 3x for all I care.
