Mets Clinch Date Pool -- We Have a Winner!

by Eric Simon on Sep 19, 2006 6:05 PM EDT

Back in August, FlakyLefty45 started a Mets Clinch Date Pool in the Diaries . Votes were cast and recorded, and now that the Mets have finally clinched the NL East, we have a winner.

hotspur, who said the Mets would clinch with a victory on 9/18 scoring 5 runs, was the closest (the Mets actually scored four runs). So congratulations hotspur! I don't know what you win, exactly, though I could probably send you a copy of "The Producers" (the new one) on DVD if you want. Let me know.

I got screwed on that.

I had the day Pedro pitched and had a nervous breakdown instead of throwing the no-hitter we all expected.

So close

why did I go with 6 runs and not 4 or 5.

all right!

All the hard work pays off, fellas!

I don't need a prize, Eric. Just the prestige that comes with winning is enough.

Actually, I have a prize for a future contest. Does anyone want a blue #25 Matsui shirt, size XL? What kind of contest would you have to win to deserve such a prize? I don't know why I bought it.
