Around SBN: 2011 In Extreme Home Runs

A formal Request and a vote (sorry boobs won't be involved)!

I think it is high time that our very own Madville become an author on this site.  I mean we have Slyde and other Justin who provide excellent statistical analyasis, and we have a nice stable of Brendan, BK, Charlie, Grey, NYCreds, and ken who provide excellent links, post game summeries and some of their own original material, and we have JCH who I guess gets off everytime he see's his name at the bottom of the page. We have Andro who can keep us abreast of international happenings.

What we don't have is the crazy old man who is really brilliant but slightly altered by hardcore drugs perspective.  I think Mads will provide that.  Day after day Mads provides us with new gems, and altered perspectives must of us wouldn't even begin to understand.  He gives us great gifs, and sees the world from a different lens than anyone else involved with this site.  I would like a weekly Madville column to appear on this site, with his thoughts, perspectives and just who from the previous week can blow him.  I think it would give us all an off season lift.

We all know that Slyde committed a coup de tat to take control of this site, and you are just a minion for that bourgeoisie enemy of the people. He will turn on you too. Read your Marx.

Well I always vote for boobs

But I have no interest in being an author or anything other than a placeholder until Fat Vegas Alan’s kid grows old enough that Rae will let him post again,

I am honored and pleased that Justin would seek to promote my cause…but this site as versatile as is it is, needs to not stray any farther from its roots of strong intelligent and sabremetric Red’s Baseball discussion. Although I for one hope to go to see the new flick surrogates soon and can’t wait to give a small but meaningful critique..well back to tonight’s game!!!!!!!!!!

now we wait for the poles to close and for you to win with an overwhelming mandate.

the polls will close on Thursday at which time the mods will see you are really popular with the people, so they will either elevate you to appease us and break you until you are part of the machine, or they assassinate you, kinda like when Castro had Ochoa executed because Ochoa was too popular in Cuba and threatened Castro.

What is means is twofold:

1. The world is relieved that the US wants to be a team player again and believes that Obama is fundamentally on the right track regarding most international issues.

2. Obama realizing that I (Mads) was about to win an important victory for the non-intellectual crowd, paid off the Norwegians for the award in order to divert attention from my near win.
