7th Inning Stretch with Scott Fragale - Beat The Blogger Results

Beat The Blogger Results
Posted by Tuff Stuff

We once again fell well short of our goal of getting more than 300 entries in the Beat the Blogger contest, but the good news is we'll give it another shot this week, and if we can eclipse the 300 mark, one lucky

winner will claim the authentic, signed Chipper Jones jersey that the Blogger is just dying to give away. We're going to open up the contest to our Collect.com friends this week and see if that can boost our total over the required mark.

For those unfamiliar with the Beat the Blogger contest, the idea is simple. The Blogger posts 10 matchups each week and then selects his choices for the winners of those matchups. Contestants enter the Beat the Blogger contest by clicking on the "Comment" section below the post with the matchups and then select their own 10 winners. You can also designate one of your picks as a "Doubler" and you will receive an extra point if you're correct so don't forget to designate your "Doubler" pick and increase your chances of winning. If you Beat The Blogger's total and post the high score for the week, you win. The regular weekly prize is an authentic signed 8-by-10 color photo of stars such as LaDainian Tomlinson, Drew Brees, Marshall Faulk, Santonio Holmes, Gale Sayers, Catfish Hunter and many more. From time to time, the Blogger will sweeten the pot for the weekly contest and that's where the Chipper Jones jersey comes into play. If we can get more than 300 entries this week, the weekly winner will receive the Jones jersey so we need everybody to spread the word about the contest so we can reach our goal.

Apparently too foucused on his Memorial Day weekend activities and not the contest, the Blogger managed just four correct responses this week and more than half the field was eligible to win the weekly prize. When the smoke cleared, it was "Kim" and past champion "Sunshine" who each got 8 of 10 correct to tie for the spot and claim the weekly prize. Congrats to them and good luck to everybody this week. This week's matchups will be posted later today so check back and make sure you get your picks posted 1/2 hour before the start of the first game on Saturday to be eligible. And don't forget to spread the word about how easy it is to win playing Beat The Blogger so we can reach our goal of more than 300 entries this week.
