Feel like this was a really tough set of questions. Maybe just me.

I thought last week's were harder.

I agree, although I learned that attempting to answer in-between sets at the gym doesn't work. I realized I answered a question twice and skipped one, then Ryan had to send it back because I didn't answer the question the way I was supposed to. Hooray for bye weeks!

[checks Google and see both my answers to that question were wrong, and one answer in the wrong form on top of being incorrect!]

A few games ago, I answered strawberry for an ice cream flavor, and it was very common answer. This time strawberry is a leftover. Ha!

dammit. Gambit fail.

The Chick-Fil-A scores are fucking hilarious. What a great question.

Had no idea if they were just ‘normal’ flavors or if they were branded shrug

I feel bad about some of these fairly obvious guesses being wrong but anyone not guessing NL West or Central lifers was playing with fire

I'm surprised Maddux wasn't correct though. And never expected -1 for smoltz.

Smoltz, Glavine, and Maddux were the first 3 I wrote down. I chose poorly after that.

Shit. Clearwater didn’t even cross my mind.

Wouldn't call Rodgers active amirite high five!

So Matt Cain had 15 starts in LA (compared to 21, 19, 18 at the other NL West parks) and won 2 of them despite a sub 3.00 ERA. Neat.

I was more confident on Trent Williams than just about any other answer I gave. Dammit.
