Michael Rand started RandBall with hopes that he could keep lies from conquering the minds of the weak. So far, he's only succeeded in using the word "redacted" a lot. He welcomes suggestions, news tips, links of pure genius, and pictures of pets in Halloween costumes here, though he already knows he will regret that last part.

Tuesday (RandBall Feud) edition: Wha' Happened?
Posted by: Michael Rand under Soccer Updated: June 15, 2010 - 11:18 AM
It's been a while, but we're playing the RandBall Feud. Too many things on the brain this morning. The rules are the same as always, and the scoring is still very arbitrary. Top four answers on the board. Scoring 40-30-20-10. Five questions, as always. Still looking for that coveted first perfect 200 score. Here we go:
1) If you are a Twins fan, on the scale of 1-10, how much are you coveting a trade to acquire a third baseman?
2) Same question, starting pitcher?
3) Again, scale of 1-10, how big of a deal was it for Adrian Peterson to miss minicamp for his hometown parade?
4) Percent chance that Boston wins Game 6 tonight in Los Angeles?
5) Percent chance the U.S. squad advances out of group play in the World Cup?
Also, if you haven't seen it, here's the Lego re-enactment of USA 1, England 1. Several people have sent it in.
UPDATE: Answer key --
1) 6 -- 40 pts. 7 -- 30 pts. 5 -- 20 pts. 8 -- 10 pts.
2) 5 -- 40 pts. 6 -- 30 pts. 7 -- 20 pts. 8 -- 10 pts.
3) 7 -- 40 pts. 6 -- 30 pts. 5 -- 20 pts. 4 -- 10 pts.
4) 30 percent -- 40 pts. 40 percent -- 30 pts. 50 percent -- 20 points. 20 percent -- 10 points.
5) 80 percent -- 40 pts. 70 percent -- 30 pts. 60 percent -- 20 points. 90 percent -- 10 points.
