The Brew Man Posted June 2, 2004 Report Posted June 2, 2004 Ok guys, Griff is tearing it up and needs only 5 more homers to hit the elusive 500 mark, so, look at the schedule and give your guess to when hw will hit #500. The winner to recieve a custom made avatar, if you want one. Of whatever you want, (that the mods will allow )....My guessJune 29thedit....Contestants as of 6-14billybroome- June 19thBrew Man- June 29thRUDI- June 11th (eliminated)denverbengal- June 26thKirkendall- June 15thjditty47- June 18thturningpoint- June 16thArmyBengalFan- June 12th (eliminated) Quote
Kirkendall Posted June 2, 2004 Report Posted June 2, 2004 I'm going to say much sooner. I hope he does it at home, that would be pictuesque, but no matter. I'm going for the series against Texas between the 15th-17th. If I have to choose one, then I'll say the series opener. Quote
denverbengal Posted June 2, 2004 Report Posted June 2, 2004 My guess is June 26th against the Pirates. Quote
jditty47 Posted June 2, 2004 Report Posted June 2, 2004 june 18th vs the cardinals...2nd choice is june 17th in the series finale vs texas. Quote
turningpoint Posted June 2, 2004 Report Posted June 2, 2004 june 16th in cincy 2nd game vs texas.o and btw i catch it. Quote
The Brew Man Posted June 3, 2004 Author Report Posted June 3, 2004 june 16th in cincy 2nd game vs texas.o and btw i catch it. Now that would be something. I was at the game when Sosa hit #500, but was nowhere near the ball.... Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted June 3, 2004 Report Posted June 3, 2004 I say Saturday June 19th against St. Louis! Quote
ArmyBengal Posted June 3, 2004 Report Posted June 3, 2004 I'm going with some early power in the month from Griffey against Montreal and Oakland and say:12 June in the "Battle for Ohio" at ClevelandThe Reds in first and the Bengals excitement is just awesome !!WHODEY !!! Quote
R-U-D-I Posted June 3, 2004 Report Posted June 3, 2004 June 11th in Cleveland. 8th inning 3 run shot to put us up 13 - 2 over the Indians and push are NL Central lead to 5 games. Quote
The Brew Man Posted June 4, 2004 Author Report Posted June 4, 2004 Any more takers? I'll make the deadline tomorrow.... Quote
turningpoint Posted June 4, 2004 Report Posted June 4, 2004 i have an idea, make the deadline to when he hits 496, anything before he hits 496 counts. Quote
The Brew Man Posted June 4, 2004 Author Report Posted June 4, 2004 i have an idea, make the deadline to when he hits 496, anything before he hits 496 counts. thats fine by me... Quote
jditty47 Posted June 5, 2004 Report Posted June 5, 2004 no dont do that...he could take a month and all of us that guessed would lose and some sneaky bastard (like billy ) would act like he won! Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted June 6, 2004 Report Posted June 6, 2004 some sneaky bastard (like billy ) would act like he won! Damn...they're on to me! Quote
turningpoint Posted June 6, 2004 Report Posted June 6, 2004 well he's up to 498.anyways i can change my pick to the 2nd game in oakland. the way he's hitting the ball it might be early then that....DIZAAMNi hope we can get 2 of 3 out in oakland, and get that quick win in the philly pit stop. Quote
The Brew Man Posted June 7, 2004 Author Report Posted June 7, 2004 I certainly didnt expect three this weekend, but Ill take it! Looks like those that took the Cleveland series have the best shot right now, if it even lasts that long....... Quote
The Brew Man Posted June 14, 2004 Author Report Posted June 14, 2004 Review first post in the topic for an update... Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted June 14, 2004 Report Posted June 14, 2004 It's looking good for Josh and turningpoint! I picked the 19th, but I doubt Junior will have to wait that long! Quote
Kirkendall Posted June 14, 2004 Report Posted June 14, 2004 I hope they sit him for the game in Philly, it's at Philly. Sit him at Philly and let him swing away at home, no matter the situation. It seems that Griffey has started to struggle a little since this national attention of him getting to 500; he doesn't like too much press.However, in the game against Philly, Thome is looking for 400 (he's at 399 right nwo) and Griffey at 499. That would be kind of cool.Side Note: Thome will hit 400 tonight against the poor Reds pitching. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted June 17, 2004 Report Posted June 17, 2004 Well next up is jditty on the 18th, and myself on the 19th! Man...he's really due by now! Quote
jditty47 Posted June 17, 2004 Report Posted June 17, 2004 lets go me!!!!!! come on griffey daddy needs a new car!!!!!!!!!! Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted June 20, 2004 Report Posted June 20, 2004 He did it! Finally #500 has arrived. I think the 'brew man should declare the winner, if there is one! Quote
