Darth Wicket Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 I like Howard to win the HR Derby. I say under for 20 game winners. 5 would be unreal although it may happen. Number of World Series games this year - 5.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primbud Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Over. That's tougher than I thought. What did you have in mind for that one, the AL dominance?? Tiger Woods, total wins (to surpass Jack Nicklaus' 18) at 19, O/U? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Wicket Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 Yeah...I was thinking the NL hasn't won a World Series game since the Marlins won it all in 2003. I will say over for Tiger Woods.

Primbud Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Oh yeah, throw this difficult one at me. Hey, did you get this idea from whenI mentioned the domestic violence?? I'll say under. Barry Bonds' career total # of home runs - O/U 800 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Wicket Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 It did come to mind that there are no no-no's this year when you mentioned it. I say under for Barry - I don't think he will even make it to Hank Aaron's total. Griffey Jr's career HR total - O/U 650 (He has 554 right now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primbud Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Over, thought his batting average has been suffering too. Derek Jeter career his - O/U 3000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Wicket Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 Over ... he will get 3,000 hits before you get 100,000 posts. I estimate around the 2010 or 2011 season. O/U - Runs scored in the All Star Game - 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primbud Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 I'll say over but barely. So it's a race between Jeta' da Cheetah and yours truly eh?? O/U 19 Shaun Alexander rushing touchdowns this coming year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Wicket Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 Over. O/U Number of career home runs for Alex Rodriguez - 700 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primbud Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Under, I say 698, serves him right, lol. Speaking of Yankees superstars, how about the over/under for Derek Jeter in RBI for this season, at 98. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Wicket Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 Over...he'll finish with 99. O/U - Number of pitchers with 250+ K's this season - 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Wicket Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 Let's see ... Randy Johnson, Mariano Rivera, Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, maybe Bernie Williams, and Joe Torre (if you're counting managers too). I'll say Bernie Williams won't make it, so that would be under. Number of people to go in as a Brave in the Hall of Fame from their 1991-current run. - 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primbud Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Let's see: Smoltz, Maddux (he'll go in as a Cub - had two stints with them and only one with Atlanta ), Glavine (he'll go in as a Met. To thank him, a New York taxi will escort him to the ceremony. He'll show up with four front teeth missing) ... the Jones' ... I'll go under depending on if criteria is altered in the future, and they might (should) be ... (Yes, I counted managers and such non-current-players too) Over/Under Ken Griffey Jr.s career home run total at 700. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Wicket Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 What about Bobby Cox? I've also heard a few cases for Leo Mazzone too. I will say under for Junior. I think he may get to somewhere around 650, but I think he only has a few years left (plus if he gets injured again, that will make 700 near impossible). Marlins payroll for next year - $20 million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primbud Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Over. I considered [the] Cox. Listen to what I heard a few weeks back - the Marlins payroll was about $14 million this year. Did you know that they got $30 million to start this season for revenue sharing alone. Screw these so-called unable-to-pay market teams. Yankees official minimum payroll before 2010 at $175 million ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primbud Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 That's a good one, I'll go under.

Darth Wicket Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 My total career post count with this username O/U 88000. I guess that's really up to you....but I will say over. I think you will go for 100 G's. Unless you decide to stop at 88 for some reason... If my calculations are correct, when Primbud's post count hits 88 G's, you're gonna see some serious sh*t. O/U - Palpebon's ERA this season - 1.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primbud Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Over. I can't trust any so-called superclosers unless I see them in action for a long time. The Trevor Hoffmans and Mariano Riveras are few and fare between but the Brad Lidges are not. Ben Wallace career blocks O/U 3100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Wicket Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share Posted July 10, 2006 Under...he might reach 3,000 though. Highest salary (per year) for a baseball player within the next 10 years - $30 million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primbud Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I had to do some research for this one. Here are the top earners for each team: so please note that a team can have earners higher than some listed here. Figures are in millions, rounded down. Jeff Bagwell 19 HoustonLuis Gonzalez 10 ArizonaMike Hampton 14 AtlantaMiguel Tejada 11Manny Ramirez 18 I found out David Ortiz is at 6 So with that logic, if Ortiz hits 50 homers and drives in 150, Manny should hit 150 adn drive in 450!Kerry Wood 12Jim Thome 14 for the World Champs ChiSoxEric Milton 9 making slightly more than Ken Griffey Jr.CC Sabathia 7 Taking a look at the rundown of roster salaries, I think Cleveland is one of the best - perhaps I'm being unfair - Cleveland was my preseason pick to win it all.Todd Helton 16 he takes up nearly half the Rockies team salary!Magglio Ordonez 16Dontrelle Willis 4 Other than him, the only other Marlin making over a million is Brian MoehlerMike Sweeney 11Bartolo Colon 14JD Drew 11 DodgersBen Sheets 9Pedro Martinez 14Torii Hunter 10A-Rod 25 Yanks have 10 guys making over 10 millJason Kendall 11 A'sBobby Abreu 13Sean Casey 8 PittsburghChan Ho Park 15 PadsBarroid 20Richie Sexson 13 SeattleAlbert Pujols 14Aubrey Huff 6 D-RaysKevin Millwood 7 TexasRoy Halladay 12 I think Toronto has used their salary money well tooAlfonso Soriano 10 Washington So for you O/U I'll go with the Under.

Darth Wicket Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share Posted July 10, 2006 Where's A-Rod? And I think Manny is earning 18. Yeah, it is a shame about Mike Hampton, but I'm sure Houston may feel the same way about Bagwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
