SIS - RR Awards
I'm sure everyone here is looking forward for pitchers and catchers to report, only a few short weeks left until that magical date. This is a good time to reflect back upon the past year and issue some inhouse rewards. Naturally I'll need to request some technical help to compile the results (who's good at creating Excel spreadsheets?)...

I'd like to nominate
myself as the least understood, least appreciated and underused contributor in blog sports history. But if Jennie Finch says it’s all right, then I am good to go with it.
So what was this about Dana Eveland getting traded to Toronto. I bet those guys are trying to build a wiener.

by Highlifeman21 on Feb 6, 2010 11:36 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
My take
Most Sabermatic – JinAZ, no two ways. He spins my head right round, right round.
WTF Award – least likely to be understood – I’m sticking with Mads here. Johnu1 has his moments, but for “How the hell did we go from talking about a guy’s OPS+ to the sexual orientation of a cow in one post?” goodness, Mads is my guy. I swear I’m not sucking up just because I’m going to illicit a professional recommendation from this man.
MVC – Most Valuable Commenter – I’m going to focus on the word “commenter” here and say ’nukkah by a mile.
Wordmeister – I’m partial to Gray & nycredsfan, very well spoken the both of them.
Wordkeester – Any single one of us when we’ve had too much to drink in a Saturday night game thread.
Deleter – Yours truly baby. I delete for fun to screw up the occasional thread, I delete because I don’t want (too) personal information about myself posted here. Deal with it, bitches.
Pop Tart – I honestly have never seen a pop up. obc, consider yourself warned.
Hijacker – ’tHan/boobs for catjacks, Daedalus & ’mache for sexism/racism, and Mads for bowling/60s stories
Comedien – Funniest RR’er – ’nukkah. The boy has a gift. Honorable Mention to BK here.
Most profane – Justin when he’s excited or had a bit too much to drink
Most innane (in a good way) – Slyde, hands down. BTW, it’s inane, dumbass.
Most insane (in a good way) – Here’s where I’ll give credit to johnu1, as he’s coming hard out of turn 4, chasing down Mads.
2nd worst speller – Dave From Louisville. Seriously dude, you’re giving Cards fans everywhere a bad name with your piss poor spelling grammar. Step it up son. :)
RR Fanpost of the Year – The GABP Smoking thread, seeing as it was the first legit 1000+ commented non-game thread that I know of.
2009 Game Thread of the Year – Oh jeez, I dunno.
Prediction of the Year – The Reds win 88 games and are in the hunt until the last week of the season. SRSLY.
Best, and Worst, Burger of the Year – Best is TTC’s lump crab, worst was Mt. Adams B&G.

I could see that
But I don’t think it’s particularly useful. All the nominated threads are from the last two months. Short attention spans, I guess. I think using the calendar year might encourage people to look back further than that. To the actual year. Otherwise, we might as well call it “thread of the month,” because nobody’s going to remember farther back than that.

I'll nominate this one
Game 6, against the Brewers. We’d gotten some syrup in us, and coupled with the natural excitement of the beginning of the season, the comments were coming fast and furious. It ended up being a tightly fought game with the Reds building a lead off a home run from Bruce and a grand slam from Encarnacion. Volquez was pitching, but gave up six runs, and the Reds had to hold on for the final four innings to get the win. All of our relievers put men on base (Weathers loaded them), but the Brewers couldn’t plate the equalizer. In the ninth inning, the game switched over to The Best Damn Sports Show, causing a panic attack on the boards. Willy Taveras had a particularly egregious outing in CF.
We ended up breaking the record of The Anaconda that night.

WTF Award – least likely to be understood – Verka
MVC – Most Valuable Commenter – Based on both volume & quality, it has to be Brendanukkah.
Wordmeister – most eloquent – I’ll say Gray. MM would be close, but he’s not around much anymore.
Wordkeester – least eloquent – Justin
Deleter – Mod who deletes the most comments – JCH
Pop Tart – RR’er issued the most pop ups – It’s gotta be me, nobody else even seem to know what this category means.
Hijacker – most likely to go off topic and derail a thread – I’ve spent an entire year devoted to trying to win this award.
Comedien – Funniest RR’er – Intentional or Unintentional? Intentional is either Farney, BK, or Brendan. Unintentional is DaveFromLouisville for his ridiculous U of L based claims.
Most profane – Ash by a mile.
Most innane (in a good way) – OBC
Most insane (in a good way) – Madville
2nd worst speller – DaveFromLouisville UNBELEAVABLE!
RR Fanpost of the Year – UK vs. Louisville game thread!
2009 Game Thread of the Year – the one that got a lot of comments.
Prediction of the Year – Jets are gonna win
Best, and Worst, Burger of the Year – Best is gordo’s, favorite is Opening Day, Worst is Mt. Adams
Most genuinely likable RR – Caleb

ya know, he wins a couple of RR categories, including
1. second worst speller
2. worst throwing arm (third to first)
3. plane hijacker (Havana to Andorra)
5. and as pop tart, nobody can touch him!
(Wait, that’s more than a couple)

I’m not saying it’s better than a TTC or Gordo’s burger. But all things considered (price, taste, atmosphere), Opening Day is a winning combination.
