26/30

missed O's, Rockies, Padres, and drew a serious blank on Reds!

i was 6/6 on the first one before their shit-ass site stopped working for me.

ok - got 17/30 on that after trying a new browser... how do i find out the correct answers?!

11/30 on the first one--not good. In my defense, students in the room, interruptions. I would have gotten at least 12 with some peace and quiet.

finally got it to give me the answers... apparently i would have gotten 19 if i could spell!

18 on the first, 61 on the second (name overload), only 22 on the third (but i wanna say 22.5 because i was SO close to remembering the A's guy's name) (I know that's not how points works)

23 on the first one.

26/30 on the last one but maybe could've got a couple more if I didn't quit

55/100 on the second one but only because I ran out of time.

45 or more HR:

120/135, ran out of time. 122, really--I mispelled one guy's name and didn't get credit. I would have missed one for sure no matter the time limit, probably three or four.

Duh--the most predictable misspelling of all.

Fun because it's so easy:

Everyone will get 30/30--my clock ran to 3:59 (had to look up one spelling). Full disclosure: two I had to try twice, and one, well, as you get older, you type in names like "Joey Hamilton" when you mean somebody else.

I'm hooked:

79/82 on the NL; missed '40/42/47 (and wouldn't have got them even with extra time)
82/82 on the AL; 2:24 still left on the clock (yes, showing off...I did have a couple of incorrect guesses in there)

Everyone will get 30/30

Never would've guessed the Indians one in a million years.

And the Rays one didn't display properly.

Last one:

Only got 16/25--probably would have got a couple more if I'd figured out earlier that an asterisk meant still active. Embarrassing beyond words: stared at the "G" for most of the eight minutes, blanked out.

Addictive, isn't it?

I can't even try the all-time ones - i only do the 2012 ones unless i want a serious history lesson - i only started really intently following baseball about 5-6 years ago

i found one for 2012 fWAR that i'm gonna try later

well, i surprised myself!
24(25)/30 - a couple i never would've got (haven't even heard of the padres dude), plus a couple i might've got had i realized the dates were right there beside the answers (ie. cubs)
