    Couple Notes:

    A) As usual, if a prediction isn't posted or PMed to me, the player(s) will be DQed. A person may, if they think the other person will definitely go over, post "none" and take a 0 and hope for bust. As I said before, no duplicate predictions. (Now known as the Bob Barker Rule after DK's post)

    B) If it happens that no more picks are made (plenty of time), then the people unopposed get a bye, matchups with no picks will both be DQed and the other pair will face off again next round.

    Ha, I remember one time on the Price is Right. Some stupid chick bet like $30,000 on the first showcase and it was a living room, a pool table and a jacuzzi. Everyone in the audience and at home knew she was going to bust, so the next dude bid $1 on his showcase and won. Classic stuff.

    And ... we'll go with:

    Greg Maddux, Clay Hensley, John Koronka, J.J. Putz, Gary Majewski, Ray King.


    Starters:
    7 IP from Maddux + 5 IP from Hensley + 5 IP from Koronka = 17 IP from the starters

    Relievers:
    Putz's last 6 appearances have been on April 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, i.e. every two days on odd-numbered days. Sunday is the 23rd, so I'm assuming that Putz will be used by the Mariners. Besides, Felix Hernandez is on the mound and Felix hasn't gone past 5 innings this year. Perfect time to use Putz.

    Majewski hasn't been used since Wednesday, so I'm thinking he'll definitely be one of the first one out of the bullpen on Sunday: the starter is Tony Armas who has not pitched more than 6 innings in any start this year. Armas always has high pitch counts.

    Ray King hasn't been used since Friday. The only Rockies relievers who didn't pitch yesterday were King and Fuentes, and I don't think Fuentes will be used since the pitching matchup is Jeff Francis versus Matt Morris; I don't see any save opportunities for the Rockies there. I'm banking on the Rockies using Ray King as a lefty-lefty matchup against Bonds. I'll probably get 0.1 innings out of him.

    So essentially:
    17 IP from my starters + 1 IP from Putz + 1 IP from Majewski + 0.1 IP from King = 19.1 IP total.

    I think that would leave me with enough of a margin in case Maddux goes 8 or Koronka somehow goes 6. It will take an act of Satan for me to bust 21.

    Good luck. I have Felix going 6, Oswalt going 7, Contreras going 7, and one of the closers getting a 1 inning save.

    Circular logic aside, Mr Mims, you have yet to provide a single credible reason why you are, in fact, hot.

    Uh oh, Element has 1 from Nathan, 7 from Oswalt, 8 from Contreras = 16 IP ... Felix Hernandez can't go over 5 innings or else it's a bust.
