Half-Baked Hall poll is up, ends Friday night.

I googled "Third Base."  The first five results had nothing to do with baseball.

With Kepler's performance last night we have a new leader.

By popular demand (i.e. Rhu-Ru's ceaseless jabbering), gonna change up the rules for the homer contest to allow for a little more luck and more scoring. Mostly, it's boring just sitting in first place week after week.  But first, the current standings:

1 point = Solo homer
2 points = Two-run homer
3 points = Three-run homer
5 points = Grand slam
10 points = in addition to above scoring, add ten if the player you pick is not in the starting lineup

x2 multiplier = Double your daily total if your player hits a second homer
x3 multiplier = Triple your daily total if your player hits a third homer
x4 multiplier = in effect only if you correctly predict two pre-game homers (can be same player). No points if both players don't do it.
x8 multiplier (i.e. September desperation move) = in effect only if you correctly predict three pre-game homers (can be combo of same or different players).  No points unless all make it.

SPOOKY RULES

Each Citizen can make one in-game call per night (in addition to your pre-game pick) in where you predict a homer right before it happens.

10 points = Correctly announce a Spooky (don't get additional points or multipliers from above--this is a flat score)
-1 points = If the player you Spooky strikes out you lose a point
-5 points = If the player you Spooky hits into a double play you lose five points

Inside The Park Homerun

If in the rare event the player you pick hits an inside-the-parker, the next game you will be allowed to select 6 players pre-game and get all the points they each get individually
