PrintOkay guys we endured another awful season of reds baseball, which is still better than a great off season, but I think we deserve some awards.
Just some ideas:
This thread is not for voting, just for deciding on what we will vote on, kinda like the first day of Congress.
Most Valuable Poster
Funniest Poster
Most adorably inept poster
Least favorite poster (Only one choice, and that is Slyde)
Most likely to post drunk
Poster you want to have cyber sex with in a game thread
Worst Speller (you better fucking watch out for me Short stop)
Favorite Poster who has been to Cuba
Adorable Old Guy Award
Adorable Young Guy Award
Angriest Poster
Anyother ideas?

"Most adorably inept poster"
There you go again, fishing for compliments.
Vote Pops in '08. I promise nothing and I'll do it!
Can we get the one game career of Bobby the Butcher immortalized in these awards somehow?
Politickin' in God's Country
I'd suggest that we make the awards all positively minded.
That doesn’t mean that strange occurrences shouldn’t be noted, but things like Least Favorite Poster are probably unnecessary. Keep ’em friendly.
Some additions:
Best RR meme
Best Thread
Best trade proposer/analyst
Best minor league analyst
Best use of stats
Most off-topic poster
Most respectful poster
Best devil’s advocate
"You never want to give up a 7-0 lead, in your rival's ballpark, that would put them in first place. Never want to do that." - Ron Darling
We're forgetting the normal awards
Most improved poster
Rookie poster of the year
JD Arney Memorial RR Lifetime Achievement Award
"My wife ain't never ran and got me no pheasant." - Fistbands
Let me play devil's advocate here....
Least Favorite Poster may be a way of letting someone know they need to shape up or ship out. It would be a motivational tool. And, let’s face it…. some of us are so pathetic, that we’ll be happy to win anything.
(Not that I’m bucking for the Least Favorite Poster award…… or the Best Devil’s Advocate award or anything.)
The season doesn't start until the Cincinnati Reds take the field! Reclaim The Opener!!
i think there is only one answer to that award and it is slyde and his utility belt.
really who likes slyde?

Making a late run for the devil's avocate award, eh?
What about some statistical based awards in honor of… statistics and stuff.
Most posts. Most recs. Most recs per post. Most flags. Most jpegs. Most flag’d jpegs. Most posts after 2 am. Most flag’d jpegs after 2 am. Posts plus slugging, you know PPS.
Postermetrics is where it’s at. I mean, it is one thing if somebody “sounds” like a good poster, but do they have the numbers to back it up?
Tanzen!

i like these too
stats are a big thing ’round here, so we should have some awards that are given from the head instead of the heart. MVPs and funniest posters are great, but we have to recognize the folks that quantitatively make a difference here.

you are surging in the polls
but he had a big advantage of being here first. I think it will be close.

I think I'm confused on a couple of these...
for “RR meme”, would we say the person who started the meme, or just the meme itself. Lets say I’m a huge lolcats fan. Do I credit the cats or Shortstop?
And for best thread…is this like an MVP award where I can choose if I want to give it to “funniest thread” or “most intellectual” thread? Or do we want to make those 2 different categories?
...because there's already someone posing as Jacob Brumfield
