Here's how the final World Series Challenge broke down:
Ian
Pitcher: Neftali Feliz (TEX). Predicted ERA: 0.00. Actual ERA: 4.91.
Hitter: Josh Hamilton (TEX). Predicted AVG: .310. Actual AVG: .241.
Alex
Pitcher: Chris Carpenter (STL). Predicted ERA: 2.34. Actual ERA: 2.84.
Hitter: Albert Pujols (STL). Predicted AVG: .327. Actual AVG: .240.
Tom
Pitcher: CJ Wilson (TEX). Predicted ERA: 2.60. Actual ERA: 2.92.
Hitter: Nelson Cruz (TEX). Predicted AVG: .320. Actual AVG: .200.
This series, as it turned out, was very difficult to predict, and nobody picked up any additional wins, leaving Ian in command of the field as the season wrapped up.
Excellent work on the part of all managers and assistant managers. We'll do it again next year, and I promise I'll start it earlier and be more on the ball. Thanks to all who participated!
