Let's Sponsor Felix's B-R Page

I also think that if LL is buying it, it should be more classic LL snark, like:

- Go screw yourself Carlos Beltran.
- No one cares about your stupid fantasy team.
- Dear Yankee Fans: Your trade package sucks.

etc. I guess I’ve pledged to donate .02 so far and I’ll think about more in the future.

That and we have the official ad we’re putting up there.

And I’m in favor of “Felix is ours and you can’t have him”.
May not be the most snarky but it is a classic.

but will do $35 if it is something more snarky.

There is the tried and true “Felix is ours and you can’t have him”. This can either be a link to LL, or just standing on its own.

A non-zero number of people want something different. Let’s hear them. This is your opportunity to give us something better.

No votes this thread, I’ll be checking it tomorrow morning at about this time, giving ~24 hours for submissions. I’ll then post another thread with voting, and winner takes all, with 1$ = 1 vote. If you don’t like the slogan, I don’t care, just state that and don’t send me money. I’ll take care of the overages for your backing out.

I’ve signed up for an account, and am accepting donations now. Please send any amounts due (or whatever, really) Paypal to the email in my profile {fauxsnax (circly at sign) gmail}.

Right now I have the default “Felix is ours and you can’t have him”, with no link. Once submitting and voting is done, I will change it to whatever the voting comes out to.

If you will agree to the outcome of the vote, or just want to donate, feel free to send at any time. Those with conditions are more than welcome to wait until voting is done.

Also, am I correct in understanding that because I put in $10 I get 10 votes?

(This means you Brian Cashman)

So I’m compiling everything that was listed in the thread as a possible slogan and putting it here. Please list any you would like to see in the order you would like to see them, and I’ll use instant runoff voting to calculate the winner. Click here for the wiki on IRV.

Felix is ours and you can’t have him.
Go screw yourself Carlos Beltran.
No one cares about your stupid fantasy team.
Dear Yankee Fans: Your trade package sucks.
Back off, Yankees. No one likes you.
Felix is ours and you can’t have him. (This means you Brian Cashman)

Polls are only open to people that pledged, and they will be closed again at Friday, ~6AM Pacific. I’ll put the change request in at that time.

So I updated the listing to include a link, and it can be seen here (note: link may take a little while to show up due to approval process).

On a separate note, I still have five pledges outstanding (not including CapSea, unless he wants to join in). I won’t name names, but you know who you are. I’m not the type to hound, so this will be the only time I mention it. But unless three out of the five pony up, I’ll be in the whole for over twice my share.

Special note to hairofthedawg, who really made this happen with his overgenerous contribution. Everyone who thanks anyone should thank him first.

Now, the question remains, what do we do with the overage?

My idea is if we get a few more dollars in the pot, we can have do a couple things with it.
*Get another lesser player’s ad
*Beer fund for J/M
*Hang onto it to give to rc/msb/whoever else (I know I’m missing someone…) for a future LL softball meetup for food costs
*Start a general LL fund for community projects

Anyone like that idea, or have any better ones?

I’m not a fan of just putting in “I love Johjima!!”, so I’m taking a call for something maybe a little more heartfelt.

“You were the best-hitting catcher we’ve ever had”
“Thanks for taking the nutshots in stride”
“Unjustly thrown under the bus since 2008”
