Around SBN: The Most Dangerous Division in Sports

Pledge a half hour to VOTE for VOTTO


OK.... there may be more worthy causes out there to start a RR pledge drive for.... returning war veterans, oil slicked water fowl, tanning salon bailout fund, etc...  but right now my passion is for getting Joey Votto into next week's all-star game and I imagine I'm not alone here.  So VOTE VOTTO!!

Star-divide

Pledge 30 minutes a day for the next three days to get online and VOTE for VOTTO.  You don't have to do 30 consecutive minutes, rather break it up into shifts.  The online voting is unlimited.

 

I will kick things off:

 

The C - 30 minutes Tuesday

The C - 30 minutes Wednesday

The C - 30 minutes Thursday

 

Pledge your effort in the comments.

John Kerry sending out an email for Youklis

Where are our Ohio politicians? Kerry is using his substantial presidential campaign email list to get out the vote for Youklis.

i keep forgetting to click the box to keep mlb.com from sending me emails

and i think i’ve gotten about 30 of them so far. sigh.

not going to stop me from voting for the best Reds hitter of my lifetime.

Just don't select a favorite team

I got 50 extra votes for Votto

I made a trade in fantasy baseball with the stipulation that my roommate give 50 votes to Votto.

I also campaign for him at work.

Can't stop, won't stop.

I’m glad i have Sprint. I’ve sent almost 1000 votes via text already. I can send between 5-7 votes per min.

whew!....

just got me another wave of votes in. gonna do some more during the soccer game. go Uruguay! I loves me an underdog!
If you’re watching the game on TV tonight, why not take a couple innings to do some voting?

by NikoliVoltron on Jul 6, 2010 1:33 PM EDT reply actions  

great idea

everyone boycott the game thread and just Vote Votto!

"then skip it"....

by obc2 on Jul 6, 2010 1:37 PM EDT up reply actions  

I like this idea as well.

MODS: please close the game thread between innings 3 and 5 and instead advise all participants to exclusively vote during that time.

I like this idea

we’ll work on something.

Great idea...

I just think it would be more fun – and maybe more public – to organize a group vote of some kind. An in game RR vote would be an excellent idea.

i say

give a copy of Wire to Wire to the RR who votes the most for Votto

"then skip it"....

by obc2 on Jul 6, 2010 3:53 PM EDT up reply actions  

sure, it's not food off your kids table

besides, not sure how we would accurately track those numbers. I mean, we’ll still play the vote tracking game, but there won’t be prizes besides pride.

still money out of my pocket

unless someone wins that has no intention of ever buying a copy. In which case, they’re a jerk and I don’t like them.

its kinda boring to vote for an entire inning

terrible throw from joey there which prevented a force out

huge props to OCab and Maloney for making chicken salad out of chicken shit.

Every time I said "the brazilian x" these past few weeks,

my boyfriend would say “that’s a lot of x!”

This team wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for all the losing.

I think we'll probably close the thread for innings 2, 4, and 6

so that we lessen the likelihood of missing a Votto at bat.

Unless you all think that would be too confusing.

Hey, if I comment to pledge, will I get a complimentary tote bag?

by andromache on Jul 6, 2010 7:13 PM EDT reply actions  

That's right

At the 50 vote level, you get the complimentary tote bag.

But at the 500 vote level, you can get VIP tickets to see this guy in a special show dedicated to painting scenes from the ballpark.

Sting's wife

You see, Sting is into tantric sex, which can last hor extensive periods of time. Thereby, “Don’t let up now. 5.5 hours to go!!” seems as though it would be something Ms. Styler would say to her husband in the midst of an eleven hour intercourse session.

I know all about Sting and his tantric sex

I did not know the name of Sting’s wife.

I’ve always wondered how much lube you’d need for tantric sex

by Highlifeman21 on Jul 9, 2010 8:08 PM EDT up reply actions  

I have the book if you need to borrow it.

Though some might argue that "best utility player" is a contradiction in terms.
