SAS Baseball Sheep - Spring Training Hello, folks! With the end of the long, cold winter (it is 77 and rising here in California), baseball's sluggish sluggers are coming out of hibernation into the lands of cactus and grapefruit. In less than two months, the 2015 regular season will be upon us. Who knows what the future will bring! Do you? The sheep game before you asks you to judge what will happen in the 2015 season and to reassess the Posting Issues of the past winter. With that in mind - let's sheep it up! What the gently caress is a sheep The game is not complicated. 1. There will be a list of questions at the bottom of this post. The object of the game is to provide the MOST COMMON response from the people playing the game, kind of like Family Feud. You receive one point for each person who provided the same answer. In other words, if the question was "What is best in life," and 10 players said "To crush your enemies," each of those players would receive 10 points. If 5 players said "The open steppe, fleet horse, falcons at your wrist," they would each receive 5 points. If 1 player said "Hello Kitty," he would receive 1 points (and the public condemnation of his peers). 2. Every question scores points, even if only one. The player with the MOST points, after all the questions are added up, wins the game. This is often, though not always, jeffersonlives. 3. There are no right or wrong answers - your job is to provide the MOST COMMON answer. So even if you really, really think that "The open steppe, fleet horse, falcons at your wrist" is best in life, it might still be in your best interest to answer "To crush your enemies." This means that even a factually incorrect answer can score the most points! "Beer" once won best stadium food! You have to decide what you think everyone else will say. 4. Some of the questions are vague - intentionally so! Does "who" mean a team or a player? Who knows! It's your job to interpret them as you think the majority of SAS will. Email your answers along with your username (seriously guys) to SASsheepgame@gmail.com (there's a whole mess of s in there, so get it right, scrub). You have until 11pm Pacific Time, Tuesday, February 24 to send in your entries (but the earlier the better from my personal POV). The sheep reveal will start around 6:00pm Pacific Time, Wednesday, February 25. The reveal will be done question by question in this very thread, and is by far the most fun part of the game - so mark your calendars! The Questions: 1. This MLB team won’t be nearly as good in 2015 as other people think they will be. 2. Who will be the 2015 AL Cy Young winner? 3. FoodChat: the single best hot dog condiment other than mustard is _____________. 4. This MLB player didn’t have a great 2014 but I bet his 2015 will be excellent. 5. CubaChat: The first MLB team in Cuba will obviously be named the _____________________. 6. Who will be the overall best rookie of the 2015 season? 7. In the 2014-2015 offseason, which free agent got a way better deal than he should have? 8. PeteRoseChat: Describe Pete Rose in just one word. 9. The 2015 NL MVP will be ______________. 10. RuleChat: Steroids? Defensive shifts? No. If I were Rob Manfred, I would try to eradicate ___________ from the game. 11. The _______________ will win the 2015 World Series. 12. A-RodChat: What will A-Rod be apologizing for in February 2016? Please don't discuss potential answers as it may affect how people answer! Where applicable, similar answers will be grouped together entirely at my arbitrary and capricious discretion. Remember, you have until 11pm Pacific Time, Tuesday, February 24 to send in your entries to SASsheepgame@gmail.com and the reveal will start around 6:00pm Pacific Time, Wednesday, February 25. If you have ideas for future questions (there will probably be another game or two mid-season if people want), feel free to recommend those to me as well - #10, for example, is adapted from a question Inspector Poop sent me.  here is a dumb comic I found

I feel like this round's questions were way less rife for joke material than the last few. Hopefully everyone will prove me wrong.

With Jeffersonlives posting way less often, are we in line for someone else to "win"? (He's totally going to swoop in and nail 11 top answers.)

Hey Xenophon, I realized I flipped my 6 and 7 answers when I sent them to you. I e-mailed you the change. Can you input it before the reveal?

Time to place squarely in the 15th percentile again with my patented mix of Pirates homer answers and jokes that aren't as good as everyone else's

I've never been so excited to be on a work trip overnight before. That means I can give my undivided attention to the Sheep reveal tomorrow night.

We'll see how we do. One of my New Year's resolutions was to watch more baseball this year; living in Indians territory makes that hard to do by June (because they've traditionally been poo poo).

Sent! Some of them I wanted to be funny but, like my favorite team, I had to take an extremely misguided approach to trying to win.
