Can you believe it?  Only 105 more days until opening day!  It does seems like that's quite some time, but with so many questions left on the Braves -- 1B, LF, RF, which of our 6 starting pitchers get traded, bench, etc. -- there's no doubt there will be plenty of stories to develop over the next 3 and a half months.

As of right now, this contest is just for bragging rights and a big air-five, but maybe someone will be able to round up a prize package or something.  I think it would be great to see everyone's predictions for the upcoming season...and heck, this is almost like rosterbating, so I'm sure we'll have a ton of participants. :)

All entries are due by 11:59 PM (Eastern Time) December 31st, 2009

1.  Name the Braves batting order on Opening Day.  1 point for each correct name in the correct batting slot in the order. (9 points possible)

2.  Name the Braves positional starters for the game.  1 point for each correct name in the correct position during the 1st pitch of the game. (9 points possible)

18 points are possible.

In case of a tie:

Tiebreaker #1: Who strikes out first for the Braves?

Tiebreaker #2: Who hits the first double for the Braves?

Tiebreaker #3: Who scores the first run of the game/season for the Braves?

Here is an example of what it should look like (or close to it):

McLouth - CF

Prado - 2B

Chipper - 3B

FUGA - LF

And so on....

And then for the tiebreaker questions: 1. Greg Norton  2. Diory Hernandez  3. Albert Pujols

GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY PREDICTING!
