The On-Topic TagPost of the Day (LL Awards edition)

Tiny by seattlebruin on

In honor of the merciful end to the Mariners season, it's occurred to me that we should have some LL awards, complete with Academy-style voting on each one, and terrible, tearful acceptance speeches. Let's use this FanPost to put up nominees for each award (and whatever the hell else you people want to talk about). I figured we could at least have the following

Rookie of the Year

Commenter of the Year

Poster of the Year

Most Improved Commenter

Visiting Fan of the Year

Troll of the Year

Best FanPost

Best Thread or SubThread

Best FrontPage Post

Best Gamethread

Best Comment (non-image)

Best Comment (images permitted)

Beer of the Year

Best Pun (non-LaHair)

Meme of the Year (dead)

Meme of the Year (not so dead)

Best Tagger

Best Tag


Lastly, I leave you with this, even though I posted it yesterday, it's much too funny to not post again

Fantastic new beer of the week

Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar. May not be a new beer, but it was new to me. It’s awesome.

And this is one of the best Rogues I've ever had, as well

which is sayin’ something.

Mmm. Hazelnut...

I saw this release in the e-mail update I get from Gravity. I think I’m gonna have to swing by and grab me some…

I keep thinking about picking this one up, but I will get one today.

Has anyone tried their rum or gin? I see it at the Saturday Market under the Burnside Bridge here in Portland, but haven’t bought it yet. My wife loves rum, but hasn’t been drinking during the past 40 or so weeks. She’ll be able to in the next month and I wanted to get her a quality rum as a gift. Is Rouge worth it or should I go with something else?

Be open minded about what you don't know.

Never had the rum

but the gin is actually quite tasty, and I’ve heard good things about the rum.

The Gin is good, provided you know what you're getting

if you want ultra-dry, clean-tasting gin then it may not be your deal. If you can accept a fruity notes standing toe to toe with the juniper ones, give it a try.

congrats, by the way.

Thank you.

I had to stock the fridge with beer for the same reason.

She really missed beer.

I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.

What's the visiting fan of the year? A fan from another blog?

I'll shut up lest you ban me like you banned butthol.

by NOLAmarinergirl on Sep 9, 2008 7:33 AM PDT   0 recs

A non-Mariners fan who chats here often

I’d nominate off the top of my head Eyebrows, oc, TheOptimist (even though he hasn’t been around lately), and rfloh

by seattlebruin on Sep 9, 2008 8:12 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Oh yeah, and R.J.

though if R.J. is in this thing, it might be a runaway

by seattlebruin on Sep 9, 2008 8:33 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

That might be unfair.

In general, are mods in this, or is it just the little people?
I guess Jeff already was nominated so…yes?

Ah, that's why there's a "commenter of the year" and a "poster of the year"

Commenters = figurative little people
Posters = FanPosts and Front Page posts

by seattlebruin on Sep 9, 2008 8:39 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

But the best comments part.

And little people make fanposts.

I'll shut up lest you ban me like you banned butthol.

by NOLAmarinergirl on Sep 9, 2008 8:40 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

And most improved poster is not going to be a mod.

Your wording is insufficient.

Also, I am nominating Robert for Commenter of the Year

Shift for Best Living Meme
Jeff and Matthew for Poster of the Year

by seattlebruin on Sep 9, 2008 8:43 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

LFoJL can't be nominated for Commenter of the Year due to his name change

kind of like how CC Sabathia can’t win the NL Cy Young/MVP

by seattlebruin on Sep 9, 2008 8:45 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

He was up for ROY anyway.

And now that he’s been eliminated…

Channing Frye's out 6-8 weeks with bone spurs

I guess he's going to miss the first couple weeks of the season

but it shouldn’t be too bad.

Do we get prizes?

I'll shut up lest you ban me like you banned butthol.

First prize is a Cadillac Eldorado.

Second prize is a set of steak knives.
Third prize is you’re fired.

Best gamethread

The Morrow one-hitter. That was the most exhilarating thing I’ve ever experienced on the internet.

Opening day was pretty good.

I was at Shea for the Felix-Slam!

I was about to say the same.

Yep. That thread was vintage LL.

The UK TV baseball presenters recently visited Seattle.

They go on a roadtrip every year. This year it was LAA/SEA/TEX. They didn’t really like Safeco, instead preferring LAA because they didn’t like the roof at Safeco and thought it was clostrophobic. Whatever…

 That said, they had great things to say for the organisation and how hospitable they were. They loved Raul and RR-S and also Dickey. Cudos to the M’s for looking after the UK crew and in the process getting some nice PR on this side of the pond.

The Ichiroll scored an 8/10 in the traditional “ballpark food” segment.
