Maybe it's a case of text not conveying tone, but I thought I was being nice...

My second daughter is due to arrive on July 30th, 2015 and it seems like a trend to run a LIF regarding the birth of one’s child, here is my take on it. The person who correctly guesses the most questions below will be the winner of my LIF. All questions will be based on the day that my daughter is born:

1. Will at least 3 of the following teams (Orioles, Tigers, Astros, Mets, Reds, Padres) win their game on that date (all may not play on that day and in case of a doubleheader, they just need to win one)? Yes
2. Will any games go into extra innings? no
3. How many total homeruns will be hit? 0 - 11, 12 – 17, 18 – 22, 23 -27, 28 – 33, 33+
4. Will any pitcher record more than 10 strikeouts? no
5. Will there be a game with no homeruns hit? yes
6. Will a player that shares my daughter’s first and last initials hit a homerun? no
7. Will a player that shares my daughter’s first and last initials record a win or a save? no
8. How many total runs will be scored? Correct guess will get 3 points, the five closest guesses will get 1 point each. 27
9. How many total hits will there be? A correct guess will get 3 points, the five closest guesses will get 1 point each. 112
10. Will there be a grand slam? no

If she is born during the All-Star break, the above questions will be null and void and the below questions will be used to determine the winner:

1. Which team will win the All-Star game? American or National
2. Total number of homeruns hit during the derby? 0-55, 56-65, 66-75, 76-87, 88-95, 96-102, 103+
3. League from which the derby champion is from? American or National
4. Will any Detroit Tigers players have an extra-base hit? no
5. What position will the MVP play during the game? Pitcher, Infield, Outfield, DH
6. Number of runs scored? 0 -7, 8-11, 12-15, 16-19, 20+
7. Will there be a save or blown save? save
8. Will there be at least 2 homeruns hit by one team in the same inning? yes

For tie-breaker purposes, what will be the date and time (EST) of my daughter’s birth? 4:50 pm

 

12 bottles, 32 oz.

 

@Tertullian007 thank you so much for the chance, awesome box to offer up. I'll say 3,442 miles. Hopefully that hasn't been guessed yet.

 

What day do you think she will be born?

 

@Tertullian007 - I will go with 3472 miles. Safe travels and thanks for the opportunity!

 

I think I guessed 30. I'll take the next closest number below that. Thanks!!

 

Agreed on there being good people out there. I don't go looking particularly outside of here, but if someone asks about finding a beer in the SE forum (and to a lesser extent the Midwest forum) that isn't sitting on a shelf near them and I can get it (either off my local's shelf or out of my cellar) I'll message them and set something small up. Haven't had any problems doing that (though without a huge sample size).

 

4,897 thanks for the chance!

 

@MCMASTERSANCHEZ has won my lif! My ticket number was 195! I believe after going through them he was the closest!

 

You get 29.

 

@ajaylock, I'll go with a pessimistic 17 uniques. I'm hoping you get to try more, though. Thanks for the chance!

 

If only 87 had been taken.....

 

AA boxes FINALLY away. Total weight came in at 42.5lbs.

On a separate note, I got a ninja box from @valrxman (despite Fedex's most sincere efforts to the contrary)



2x White Oak Jai Alai
2x Due South Category 5 IPA
2x Big Rod Coconut Ale

Some excellent summer drinking, especially the White Oak. Thanks!

 

21, I believe it's still open, thanks! If not, 41.
