I'm With Stupid #184: Is It Baseball Season Yet?
Ok, so we won't have to wait 3 more years.
![]() IWS #184 was football but that barn burner of a 9-0 game has me ready for baseball season. With the warm weather around here (read: it's not below freezing all day), I've been pining for Spring Training. ******************************************************* The Rules The rules are the same as previous FOFC “I’m With Stupid" Contests, as set forth by the game’s widely revered and most truly beloved founding fathers. The object of this contest is to answer the questions posted, and to provide the most common answer among those submitted. For each question, your score will be equal to the number of people who submitted that response. Your score for the contest will be the product of your individual question scores. Yes, that word "product" here in the States means that they will be multiplied together, not added. Highest score wins. Collaboration of any kind is strictly forbidden. No posting your answers to this board, nor sharing them by e-mail or in any other way with other potential contestants. Just don't be an asshat, and this should end well. All determinations of "matches" and anything else requiring judgment fall to that of the sole administrator of this round of the game. You can reduce the need for doubt and judgment by properly spelling your submissions, being clear, and that sort of thing. My decisions are final and utterly inarguable, no exceptions. Any references that are unclear to you, due to language or geography, should be understood to be authored from the perspective of an English-speaking American. However... Your answers do not necessarily have to be correct in order to score points. If I ask "What kind of cake do you like best?" and you answer "chocolate cake" along with 4 other equally misguided people, you each regrettably will be awarded 5 points... even though the correct answer is "The Cake Is A Lie." ******************************************************* The Hall of Heroes Abe Sargent - IWS#49, IWS #149 Ahbrady - IWS#15, IWS#41, IWS#85, IWS#100 Airhog - IWS#1 Albionmoonlight - IWS#30, IWS#50, IWS#101, IWS#127, IWS#146 Archer219 - IWS#18, IWS#100 Arctus – IWS#135 Ardent Enthusiast - IWS#6 Atatange1 - IWS#79 Barkeep49 - IWS#62, IWS#100, IWS#117 bbor - IWS#23, IWS#26 Bearcat729 - IWS#82, IWS#93 bhlloy - IWS#179 BishopMVP - IWS#36 Blade - IWS#13 BrianD - IWS#106 Bryce - IWS#40, IWS#53 Buccaneer - IWS#47 Butter_of_69 - IWS#128, IWS#144, IWS#158, IWS#176 Bsak16 - IWS#6, IWS#9, IWS#17 cartman - IWS#48, IWS#100 Celeval - IWSE146 Chief Rum - IWS#45, IWS#56, IWS#95 CMP - IWS#171 Coffee Warlord - IWS#176 ColtCrazy - IWS#178 Cornhuskerly - IWS#46 Crim - IWS#57 Cringer - IWS#155, IWS#158 Cthomer5000 - IWS#54, IWS#75 CU Tiger - IWS#152, IWS#179 Cuervo72 - IWS#27, IWS#38 DanGarion – IWS#100, IWS#122, IWS#178 Danny - IWS#54 Dodgerchick #177 Desert Dweller - IWS#6 Desnudo - IWS#88, IWS #120, IWS #137 Digamma - IWS#14, IWS#92 DukeRulesMAB - IWS#76 Dutch - IWS#90 EagleFan - IWS#41 Farrah Whitworth-Rahn- IWS#126 Frozenrope - IWS#86 George W Bush- IWS#80, IWS#84 Glengoyne - IWS#71 gold101 - IWS#63 GoSeahawks - IWS#64 IWS#131 gstelmack - IWS#116 Hammer755 - IWS#38 HeavyReign - IWS#23 Henry296 - IWS#12 Honolulu_Blue - IWS #129, IWS #144 Hoopsguy - IWS#170, IWS#174, IWS#181 HornedFrogPurple - IWS#10 jbergey22 - IWS#172 JeeberD - IWS#44, IWS#52, IWS#61, IWS#87, IWS#91, IWS#110, IWS#138, IWS #141 Jesse Ewiak – IWS#100 Joe Canadian - IWS#29 John Lynch - IWS#10 Karlifornia - IWS#81, IWS#97, IWS#99, IWS#124, IWS#134, IWS#158, IWS#161, IWS#172 kingfc22- IWS#75, IWS#123, IWS#140, IWS#151 kurtism - IWS#79 KWhit - IWS#142, IWS#147, IWS#150, IWS#164 Lathum IWS#182 lighhousekeeper - IWS#125 lurker - IWS#158 Logan – IWS#100 Maple Leafs - IWS#34, IWS#84, IWS#94, IWS#113, IWS#118, IWS#139, IWS#168 Marmel - IWS#8 Masked - IWS#22, IWS#30, IWS#31, IWS#33, IWS#100 MattJones4Heisman - IWS#157 mauboy1 - IWS#77 MIJB#19 - IWS#59, IWS#69, IWS#117 Msf518 - IWS#11, IWS#15, IWS#35, IWS#39, IWS#100 Neuqua - IWS#19 NoMyths - IWS#46 Noop - IWS#46 Nothingman - IWS#6, IWS#45 ntndeacon - IWS#81 Oliegirl - IWS#72, IWS#81 PackerFanatic - IWS#130 Panerd - IWS#3, IWS#84, IWS#89, IWS#107, IWS#120, IWS#133 PineTar - IWS#108 Pjstp20 - IWS#42 Primelord - IWS#11 PurdueBrad - IWS#173 Pyser - IWS#85, IWS#163, IWS#180 QuikSand - IWS#9, IWS#16, IWS#18, IWS#24, IWS#32, IWS#58, IWS#66, IWS#70, IWS#73, IWS#78, IWS#83, IWS#93, IWS#100, IWS#103, IWS#111, IWS#132, IWS#156, IWS#165, IWS #169, IWS#179 Qwikshot - IWS#5 Radii – IWS#100, IWS#106 Raiders Army - IWS #154, IWS#179 Ramzavail - IWS#53 Raven Hawk - IWS#68 IWS#96 RendeR - IWS#6 RGunner - IWS#121 rkmsuf - IWS#145 RonnieDobbs - IWS#37 RPI-Fan - IWS#9, IWS#182 sabotai - IWS#143 Samdari - IWS#21 ScottVib - IWS#9 Solecismic - IWS#83 spleen1015 - IWS#98 SplitPersonality1 - IWS#4, IWS#104 Sterlingice - IWS#28, IWS#31, IWS#35, IWS#51, IWS#183 stevebollea - IWS #169 stevew- IWS#159, IWS#164 Subby - IWS#107, IWS#110, IWS#112 Sublime 2 - IWS#25, IWS#134, IWS#148, IWS#161, IWS#179 Suicane75 - IWS#109 Swaggs - IWS#2, IWS#35 Tarcone - IWS#162 Tasan - IWS#65 TazFTW - IWS#153 ThunderingHERD - IWS#114, IWS#119, IWS#122 Timmae - IWS #115 Toddzilla - IWS #167 Tredwel - IWS#6, IWS#9, IWS#20, IWS#43, IWS#67, IWS#84 TRO - IWS#7, IWS#9, IWS#12, IWS#85, IWS#102, IWS#109 tucker342 - IWS#60 tyketime - IWS#175, IWS#178 Vince - IWS#37, IWS#46, IWS#62 wademoore - IWS #166 Wbatl1 – IWS#105, IWS #136 Whar - IWS#75 Wheels - IWS#55 WSUCougar – IWS#105 ******************************************************* The Questions.... 1. Which is a better Spring Training location- Weather, games, the whole nine yards: Arizona or Florida? 2. Speaking of real, live baseball, what's the best stadium to watch a game in? 3. Albert Pujols is at 445 homers and only 31 so he'll probably break the mark in 2013. Who is the next to 500 (not including him)? 4. Where does the vast and voluminous vegetarian Prince Fielder sign? 5. Besides the Phillies, pick a team to win the NLCS. 6. Finally, humor me: how many games do the Yuni-powered Royals win this year? ******************************************************* Send the answers to me via PM and put IWS#184 in the title please. I'm going to aim to end this Friday morning- I don't want to go all QuikSand on it. If Prince Fielder signs during the IWS period, we're going to have to cut it short. The end time will be the first timestamp on the first story on MLBTR saying he has signed. SI |
Nicely done. Might be a good idea to number the questions...

Done and done (the numbering). I haven't done one of these since sometime the last century, I think (IWS#52)

I think for this one I will forget to send an entry and then just claim I had all the most popular answers in the results thread. I've never tried that before, so people will probably believe me.

Sent. Some toughies in there this time too. This could/should be another poor showing by me!
|
Oh yeah, sent last night.

Nice, difficult questions. Nicely done, SI.

God damn Yuni...

I have not tabulated results and don't want to skew things but I did have a little regret about one of the questions as being too difficult. The rest, I was hoping for splitting Stupid a bit but nothing that I couldn't rattle off a snap answer (correct or not) if someone had a gun to my head. SI |
Up to 42 entries. I'll end this tomorrow after noon at some point (barring the Prince Fielder signing clause) so one more day! Great follow up showing by Stupid!

Bump- last day
SI |
And... STOP. Pencils down. Filing gnomes will be tabulating the results
Great turnout! SI |
Geez....you can't trust gnomes!
|
Yes, especially when the tiling gnomes start fabulating the results. They'll say anything!
