Ichthyomancy ends in a tie?

A tie? That's a first.

Wait a minute, there are no ties in baseball. However in this case there is.

The 2008 version of Ichthyomancy has two Champions: Bumppo and Fishcrazy.

Congratulations to the winners!

I want to thank everyone who participated in the contest this year. I would especially like to thank those who played the game all the way to the end: LadyFish, Spud, Hurricane, C60, Jrsyeagle, Dgriot and Stlcardinalsfan. You done good.

I will be in contact with the winners in the near future to work out how to split the prize. Though it seems like half a stick of gum isn't that rewarding for season long amount of work. Just kidding, it is that rewarding.

Stay tuned: Playoff Ichthyomancy is on the way. There are no prizes in it other than bragging rights. IIRC no one has every won the regular season contest and post season contest in the same year. But I could be wrong about that.

Anyway, Congratulations once again to Bumppo and Fishcrazy! Nicely done.

Woo-hoo!

Congrats to Fishcrazy, it was a hell of a battle at the end. Congrats to everyone else too, and I’m looking forward to next year!

Oh yeah, I forgot the man behind the curtain

Thanks Craig, your work makes this the best Marlins site around. Looking forward to another great season in 2009.

Congrats to the winners

and especially thanks to Craig for putting it all together and dealing with out BS all season long – awesome work!

I’ll put 2 sticks of gum on the line for the playoffs… any takers?

Congratulations to...

a most worthy co-winner, the great and famous Bumppo.

LadyFish, who mounted a furious rally right up until the end.

GameFish, who won the first-half race, even if it’s not officially recognized.

to everyone else who stuck with it to the end…it made things tons more fun!

and, of course, to Craig for running the whole thing and having to compile all the various picks and changes scattered through the day’s threads.

It’s been fun. Thanks! (Unfortunately, it’s time I come clean and admit that I had a relationship with Kirk Radomski, who supplied me with Ichthyol to help my picks get stronger, faster and better.)
