There should be. Preferably something that embarrasses the loser.
I will run naked through this forum if I lose.
(Which I can't lose, thankfully, as I didn't bet)

So let's assume he finds himself getting 70% of the available playing time the rest of the way. That's roughly another 110 at-bats this year.
I'll go on the record as follows:
For games beginning with tonight's (8/9/06) and running through the last game of the regular season, if Duncan gets at least 75 more AB he will slug .440 or lower.
Who wants a piece of me???
Not sure why you want to go out on a limb like this. The guy's slugging stats all season long have been over .500. Looks like the post was made Friday, but the games beginning with 8/9/06 would have to include his 2 home run night on the tenth. (Did you just up the percentage a bit?).
In any event, I'll take that bet.

LOL you're absolutely right -- I had not changed the calendar on my desk, so while I said 8/9, I was indeed referring to 8/11, the date of the post and the date "tonight" clearly referred to.
