3/31/2008 Over-Under #1 - Reds v. DBacks Mar 30, 2008 12:23:11 GMT -5

Ok, opening day is here, so it's time for our 1st over-under challenge.

I'll try to get one up for each and every game and I'll keep a running total of the standings. If anyone has any ideas for a future over/under question, please let me know. Oh, guests are always a welcome addition on this board, but to keep things straight it'll be limited to members, so if you are guest and want to play you'll need to sign up.

Also, of course, you'll need to post your answer before the game starts.

At the end of the year, the person who has the most correct picks will be the winner. And, I'll be participating as well, as I don't want to miss out on all the fun.

Besides, I don't have an advantage one way or the other.

Here's the question for game #1:

Over or Under: Aaron Harang will strikeout 7.5 D-Backs on opening day?

For me, I'll take the under.

Away we go!!!!

I will not always get the chance to give my opinion every day, so I need to get some right to not get embarrassed by others in this contest.

He'll come out throwing flames and Harang seems ready to roll. 9 Ks in 7.1 innings.

Well, nice job, gents!!!

Harang started off hot early, racking up 4 quick strikeouts, but then settled in and ended up with only 6.

So, the over wins.

Congrats to:

TheDuke
DoubleJ86
BKLeo
GMBurchfield
Awnaboi

And, unfortunately, better luck next time to:

JHockey
JSmith

Tomorrow is an off day, but there will be another over/under for Wednesday's game.
