Opening Day Roster Contest - Co-Winners!

BleacherBum593 · 01-24-2007, 01:07 PM

One of the traditions of our group is to see who can come close to predicting the 25 man roster on Opening Day.

Rules are simple.

1. You must post your entry by 12:01 AM, Feb 15, 2007. Then the thread will be locked down.
2. You can make as many changes as you want up till the thread is locked down.
3. Poster with the least amount of misses is crowned Cardinal FanHome GM of the Year for 2007.
4. And as a bonus, ArRedbird has donated 1 bleacher ticket to the winner. (still looking for 1 other to donate to the fund)

Good Luck

Hey Cranny - Do you know something that I don't know. Who's this C Barrett that you have listed. You making trades for Walt now?

I'm assuming you mean Bennett.

bccran · 01-30-2007, 06:23 PM

Senior moment. It's getting bad.

I was sitting right behind WJ and Bill Dewitt today at a function and could have talked to them at the reception that followed, but didn't think it was appropriate. Good thing I didn't ask them about Barrett.

BleacherBum593 · 01-30-2007, 06:46 PM

Since your the Senior member of the Board, and I mean "Senior", all is forgotten.

Just one little more bit of advice - No BODYSURFING this March on Jupiter Beach

bccran · 01-30-2007, 07:54 PM

Have to. It's tradition.

Kodiak · 01-31-2007, 03:10 AM
