Posted September 13, 200519 yr MarlinsBaseball.com is proud to introduce a new contest titled "Beat the Heat". Every day I will start a thread corresponding to that day's game. Players will take guesses on the question at hand. Every player with the correct answer will earn a point. The first player to accumulate 10 points will win a free pair of sunglasses (your choice of style) from ShadeNation.com and a month of VIP on MarlinsBaseball.com. Complete Rules Information: Should nobody get the correct answer the closest to the actual answer will be the winner. If multiple players reach 10 points at the same time, the game will continue in a sudden death mode until one player has more points than any other players. Should the season end before any player reaches 10 points, the player with the most points will win. If there is a tie, all players tied will recieve the VIP and a coinflip tiebreaker will be used to determine the winner of the shades. Today's Question: How many strikeouts will there be combined in this game total by both teams and all pitchers?
