Purple Row Prediction Competition Week 12

by Jeff Aberle on Jun 28, 2009 6:34 PM MDT Comment 17 comments

After another strong week (4-2) by the Rockies to close out interleague play, the PRPC competitors (myself included) had a similarly strong week.

Both pedalpusher and RockiesDave, fueled by their crazy prediction (the same one) coming true, paced the field with 15 points (as did PF), though PioneerSkies remained in the lead by 8 over Holly96 and myself.

Here is the Rockies' schedule this week as they take on two familiar NL West foes, one on the road and one at Coors Field. Ubaldo Jimenez will be our two start pitcher this week.

Remember, one point for winning team, two for winning pitcher, three for exact score, and five for a crazy prediction.

Do I get any credit for the most stupid "crazy prediction"?

I am a week early. Check back next week. I’ll recycle this one then.

I’ll allow it, though it wasn’t THAT crazy of a prediction.
