   If you cannot view the form above, you can enter the Stat Challenge by posting your answers in the comments below. Please do not copy and paste the entire question--just give the question NUMBER and your answer. You must provide a screen name and an email address (which will not be shared.)

   Question 1: What game score will Stephen Strasburg earn in his major league debut? I am referring to the Game Score stat for an individual starting pitcher performance, not the overall score of the game. If Strasburg does not make a major-league start during the period of this Stat Challenge or if the game is rained out or suspended, this question will be ignored in the rankings

   Question 2: How many total innings pitched, rounded down to the number of complete innings, will the Nationals starting pitchers pitch? I will add the total of IP by the starter of each game together and then round the final down. So if, for example, the total were 25 2/3 innings, the correct answer would be 25.

   Question 3: How many singles will all Nationals hitters hit?

   Question 4: How many total strikeouts will Nationals pitchers register in all relief appearances?

   Question 5: How many total runs will the Nationals score as a team?

   Andy, did my entry get there this time? {I told you I was computer-illiterate}

   Frank, it did, however you misunderstood question 1. I have added some clarifying text there, can you put in a new entry?
