Today It’s Not A Home Run Pool, But A Home Run Puget Sound

Posted on July 10th, 2009 5:20pm by Evan Grant
Filed under Contests and Promotions, Home run pool

homer4Hey, the water is clean, cool, fresh, crisp and if you are lucky, you might even catch a Dungeness crab if you miss out on winning the homer pool.

We’re playing blind until I get a lineup, but that’s just how we roll. The most interesting thing for me about the lineup today is whether newly-minted All-Star Nelson Cruz will be in it. Can you leave an All-Star out of your starting lineup four consecutive days?

Remember, you can get FREE STUFF!! by sending me an email RSVPing for next Thursday’s Pennant Race Pep Rally at Pappasito’s. We have an affinity for alliteration (see what I did there?) here.

UPDATED, with lineup at 8:15 CDT: The Rangers lineup vs. RHP Brandon Morrow: 2B Ian Kinsler, 3B Michael Young, CF Josh Hamilton, DH Andruw Jones, 1B Hank Blalock (3-for-4, HR vs. Morrow), LF Marlon Byrd, RF Nelson Cruz, C Jarrod Saltalamacchia, SS Omar Vizquel and pitching for the Rangers. … RHP Scott Feldman.

    And, yes, Evan, I see what you did there… you accentuated your affinity for alliteration by applying another literary device: assonance.

    FYI: Cruz is in the line up..but Wash says only because Murphy jammed his finger. Shocking- an all-star that would have been sat down 4 straight games.

    Sorry that was just rude. I like CJ but he does tend to frustrate.
