So when does this silly contest end?.. I want a patch to come out...

And I guess they arent going to put out a patch untill after this contest ends... so someone win the darn thing already.

Oh, and this post is funny.

contest ends at 1159 on the last day of April, for legal reasons they won't change the game with a patch before then.

I managed to screw up my perfect game entry by pausing the game in the 7th inning... My only solace is that I used Halladay against the Pirates so even though I threw 18 Ks in 82 pitches my score probably wouldn't have made the final 8 anyways.

Reminds me of the PS2 days... you can really destroy a controller when it has a cord attached to it. The whip that's generated by holding the cord and slinging the controller to the ground is devastating!

People used Jeremy Guthrie?

And people decided to face the Diamondbacks? Very strange.
