Nominations Only Please
I think I have a good category list: Not too long so it will be manageable. I am in the processs of selecting a nominating group to comb through the nominees to limit each category to 3 to 5 choices. You can either kiss butt publicly or PM me with your nominations. Time frame: Nominations will close on December 15 Polls will be up by December 17 Voting ends December 22 Winners announced December 23 Admins: I was planning on making the poll vote only, no replies. Can we also hide the vote by vote results? The categories: Poster of the Year (soxtalk MVP) Thread of the Year (Best Picture) Best Poster to start a Thread (leading actor) Best Poster to add to a Thread (supporting actor) Admin of the Year Mod of the Year Mr./Ms. Underrated Special Effects (Who posts the best pics) White Sox Baseball Analyst Cubbie (poster who gets picked on, but like a loyal Cub fan, keeps coming back) Drinking Buddy (Who would you like to meet for a drink) LOL (who makes you laugh) Anger Management Award (who makes you mad) No prizes but feel free to add your award to your signature. Maybe we can have the winners names in gold. *Offical as I can make them.

Merged awards threads
Crap, by merging this got out of order. Somewhere in the middle is a post with 10 categories, I'm going to try and find it. I was trying to keep this simple. Trying to put together 20 or 30 polls will be almost impossible.

More trivial information...
Shafer, 26, helped find the number as a volunteer on an eight-year-old project called the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search. Tens of thousands of people volunteered the use of their PCs in a worldwide project that harnessed the power of 211,000 computers What a giant waste of time when they could all be logged on here

Billy Koch
I refered to him as Billy :fyou Botch from the opening KC Series. I'd love to have some faith in him. Of everyone in our pen his best career stuff is as good as it gets. I would ahve felt better if he announced he was going in for surgery. If it is mechanics I hope he can work them out over the winter.

WHAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTT!
I like having Mark for 3 years and wouldn't worry about the 4th. I think this should put him in a nice frame of mind. Right now he's the starter I have the most confidence in. I doubt this deal would have been made if we had signed Colon. I think it is a nice win after the last month that KW has had.

Pippen might have to retire
This happens just hours after you voted Paxson The Best GM in Chicago

Billy Koch
So they are thinking it's mechanics that's causing the 93 mph, flat as Kansas, fastball.

Billy Koch
I've been dismissing any talk of Koch playing for another MLB team next season as wishful thinking. Now I'm starting to wonder, are the Mets seeing something we aren't? I'm hoping that Koch and not Botch will show up next season, but it's just idle die hard fan wishing. Or have I missed something?

Need another team
I was pulling for the Cards and the Astros and not just because they were chasin' the Cubs. I've always thought the Cards were a great franchise.

Would you be insulted if a friend said...
Did you say anything about the guest list? Any of the we're trying to cut a few people, or the I hate the if you invite A then you have to invite B who will bring C and if C comes you have to let D bring E? Maybe they were saying: "We're trying to help and only invite us if you have room. " I would assume there is a perfectly pleasant explanation.

With the exception of PA, who just tipped his hand, I am keeping the nominating group secret from each other and everyone else. This way the final three won't know who to blame besides me I'm also allowing for private nominations via my PM and self nominations. I picked about 12 posters, some I kinda know, some I've never really crossed posts with but are active in at least one of the forums. If there is fault in the process it is I don't know everyone. I tried to pick young and old, male and female, straight, bi, and gay, black, white, asian, hispanic, admins, mods, and members, Texans and the rest of y'all. I asked the group to read the nominations on this thread on Monday and narrow it down to three in each category. I'll compile the polls from their lists.

I would have asked why they felt that way. Were they trying to save you money at the reception? Saving themselves some $$ and avoiding buying a gift They don't approve of the wedding for some reason There are reasons that wouldn't get me upset and some that would.

it's going to be enough work to narrow down these 14 categories to have a decent poll. I agree there is plenty of room for some other more deserving awards.
