McCovey Awards: Best Fanpost

Natto — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 19:31:11 -0000

For this particular category, I'm going to try something different. Fanposts are always the trickiest category to manage. Rather than having a poll with a list of options, here's what we'll do: There will be three categories, sort of an offshoot of a thehavenot idea (SEE!!! I READ YOUR COMMENT!!!): Heart, Head, and Funny Bone. Heart would be Fanposts that have been particularly inspiring, touching or emotional. Head would be those that were thought-provoking, informative and/or educational. Funny Bone would be Fanposts that were... funny. For the nominees, someone presents a Fanpost for a category in a comment saying why he or she chose that one.

Format your response like this:

Category (This would be in the subject field)
- Fanpost title with a link to it
- Reason for choosing it

Now for the voting part. If you wish to back a certain Fanpost, recommend the comment that is presenting it. Then when voting is over for everything, I'll just tally the amount of recs received and figure it out from there. That seems like a reasonably organized way of doing things, although who knows how it'll actually turn out. Alright people, get to posting.

Next time, I'm getting people to post or link to the images themselves because searching for them is a pain in the patootie. Or can upload them to the McImages account.

Lukewarm Stove: Trades, Transactions, and Troster Trideas.

OK, now that we've got that World Series thing out of the way, we can get to the real action. Someone suggested making a thread to collect rosterbation ideas/transactions, so that we won't be flooded with redundant Fanposts. Of course, actual signings by the Giants are fair game, and if you put some thought and research into a good idea for a Fanpost, you're more than welcome to make one. This is more for those random off-the-cuff ideas or "what could have been" ones. For example, the White Sox just traded for Mark Teahen on the Royals. We could talk about that, I guess. But I don't think anyone wants to. So, uh, let's goooooooo!
