[JDPNYY]

I'll post some history once Search is restored her.

[Maynerd]

The contest started on 3/4/09
The contest ended on 11/4/09

And the contest, as always, was incredibly well done and remarkably challenging.

[kongull]

Tied for 31st, not too shabby. Can't wait for next year.

[Dave Visbeck]

Congratulations to Sweet_Lou_14.

Winner of the 2009 NYYFans.com Yankee Prediction Contest.

The contest started on 3/4/09
The contest ended on 11/4/09

Waited for this to become completely official -- then topped off with the victory parade.

OUTSTANDING JOB ... Sweet_Lou_14


A truly great job, Lou, on all your prognostications for the 2009 Yankee season! Your win must feel especially sweet when combined with what the Yankees accomplished for all the Yankee fans around the world ... in winning their 27th World Series Title.


Lou ... you are a true champion and truly one heck of a great guy for sure -- a great guy based on all I see coming from you ... with all the considerable time and effort that you put into aiding John with his outstanding efforts that have always been seen in each of his NYYFans.com Prediction Contest's. We all appreciate everything you both do. As a group ... we all "anxiously await" ... ... each new contest that comes for the season ahead!

("Anxiously await" is something that is immensely true for me ... ... as I will need to see a true redemption in the next contest for sure! )

[sweet_lou_14]

Wow, Dave ... what can I say to that except ... thanks!

I almost never get to write code any more so any chance I get is always fun. And my son gets a lot of the credit for those answers!

But the contest is still John's, I just work here.

[grizy]

How do I find my results?

[Dave Visbeck]

How do I find my results?

109	grizy	69	..1

A lot better than me. Looks likes you were in 109th place. Click the blue and you'll see your picks and you can also click full leaderboard.

A great job by all who were involved.
I'm already looking forward to next year and moving up from 9th place.

[metalboy15]

Came in at #27.

Hmmmm....

=)

[sweet_lou_14]

Came in at #27.

Hmmmm....

=)

There ought to be an Honorable Mention for that.

[Stick Michael]

Lou, I am completely embarrassed that I forgot about the contest...I'm *sure* it had nothing to do with the fact that I pretty much knew I was out of the running by June! Anyway, it will be my pleasure to mail your prize to you. Please send me a PM or an email and let me know where to send it.

Congrats, and again a big thanks to you and John for putting the contest together!

James

[RI Dawg]

Congrats to Lou, can't wait for the next one!

[DontHateOnNumber2]

I almost forgot about the contest! Easy to forget after all of the celebrating and merchandise buying. I'm in a five-way tie for 100th place. The best part, aside from us winning the World Series, is looking at some of my answers and wondering what I was thinking. I guess I was a bit overly optimistic about Chien-Ming Wang.

[DontHateOnNumber2]

I almost forgot!! Thanks for the contest, guys. I can't wait until next season's.

[JDPNYY]

I almost forgot!! Thanks for the contest, guys. I can't wait until next season's.

Do you think those guys will have a 2010 contest?

[sweet_lou_14]

Do you think those guys will have a 2010 contest?

They kinda dropped the ball on the 2009-2010 Offseason Contest.

[Yankee Fan in Boston]

They kinda dropped the ball on the 2009-2010 Offseason Contest.

That's OK with me... means I am still the defending champion

[Yankee Tripper]

This coming back this year. Always good fun to try and predict the first DFA.

[JDPNYY]

This coming back this year. Always good fun to try and predict the first DFA.

It's just about ready.

[hellonewman]

It's just about ready.

The first DFA? Cashman works quick.
