The Great MLB08 The Show PS3 Giveaway

by Slyde on Mar 26, 2008 1:34 PM EDT in News

JD has informed me that there is a bag full of goodies waiting at his home that he'd like to give away to you, valued member of the Red Reporter readership and/or random passer-by. This bag contains 5 unopened copies of MLB08 The Show for the Playstation 3, and one of them can be yours if you are one of the 5 closest answers to the sum of these 5 questions:

The Reds lost more starts by Tom Browning than any other pitcher in the last 50 years. How many games did the Reds lose in which Browning was the starting pitcher during his career?
Adam Dunn has homered in 218 games in his major league career. How many of those games have the Reds won?
How many times has Ryan Freel stolen third base as a Red?
How many games have the Reds played at GABP where the home team has not homered?
What is the total number of runs scored by the Reds during the month of August since 2000?

Send your guess (one single number that is the total of all of these answers) to by the end of the day on Sunday, March 30th to be entered. The 5 closest answers without going over (Price is Right rules) will take home a copy of MLB08 The Show for the Playstation 3. I repeat, this is only for the Playstation 3. If more than 5 people get the exact right answer, then the first 5 correct answers to be submitted will win the prizes.

Winners will be announced right on this site on Opening Day. Good luck and please play responsibly!

Bibble only gave me the knowledge to build

PlayStation 1 and 2.

But my roomate has Wii and X-Box 360.

In short, I hate you Slyde. I'm gonna go play Guitar Hero.

Feeling proud

I just put up 265,713 on Surrender. And I missed a star power so there's room to improve.

I'm still struggling to beat "Through the Fire and Flames" on Medium. I've maxed out at 70%.

Well...

I haven't purchased III yet so I've become a perfectionist on GH2.

Adam Dunn doesn't even have 281 career homers

I'm guessing that should be 181?

Nice catch

It's 218, not 281. Fixed in the main post.

Wow

Sounds like 2k just conceeded the PS3 market to MLB the Show pretty much.

Bcause I have nothing to add to a video game diary

(And because I don't remember where the question was originally posted..)

From Wikipedia:

"Assless chaps" is in some respects a pleonasm, as all chaps have no seat; they are leggings with a belt. But the term is a common popular reference to clothing worn in the Leather subculture, often to signal when the chaps are worn without other garments (e.g., denim jeans) underneath.

(BTW, I'm kinda looking forward to the new SB Nation format but one small annoying thing has already caught my eye-- beginning tomorrow all blockquotes on Red Reporter will evidently appear framed in an unsettling pink box. Ugh.)
