Out on a limb with Chris Duncan

[Leroy]

Anything at stake or just bragging rights?

There should be. Preferably something that embarrasses the loser.

I will run naked through this forum if I lose.

(Which I can't lose, thankfully, as I didn't bet)

We are all thankful for that.

You have no idea how thankful you would be.

Yes, we do.....

We saw your fiddle video.

I didn't vote skimshaw, cause my heart tells me
that Duncan needs to be there every day.

I am ignoring you.

The Cards have 48 games remaining, and no obvious alternatives to Duncan for #2 hitter or starting LF.

So let's assume he finds himself getting 70% of the available playing time the rest of the way. That's roughly another 110 at-bats this year.

I'll go on the record as follows:

For games beginning with tonight's (8/9/06) and running through the last game of the regular season, if Duncan gets at least 75 more AB he will slug .440 or lower.

Who wants a piece of me???

Not sure why you want to go out on a limb like this. The guy's slugging stats all season long have been over .500. Looks like the post was made Friday, but the games beginning with 8/9/06 would have to include his 2 home run night on the tenth. (Did you just up the percentage a bit?).

In any event, I'll take that bet.

LOL you're absolutely right -- I had not changed the calendar on my desk, so while I said 8/9, I was indeed referring to 8/11, the date of the post and the date "tonight" clearly referred to.
