    Re: Fifth Annual Redszone Postees Awards

    I forgot but I meant to give props to reds44 for something or other. Just a good, smart kid. He might be running baseball in about ten years.
    There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.

    I'll give this a try, but honestly I can never remember who is who on this board.

    Most missed poster

    Krono, really gone? Crap.
    And I have given up hope that RedStorm will ever show up again. That guy had serious chops.

    Best tag line

    I never really understood what a tagline was.

    Best Moniker

    Ditto.


    Most Valuable Poster

    Creekie gets my vote, but there are about twenty posters who make up the heart of the board who deserve mentions. They are the folks who post with clarity, who keep their heads when others are losing their's, and who never post things they wouldn't say to a friend face to face. Without them, this board is just Cincy.com all over.


    Most Clever
    It comes in all flavors. WOY has a way of dropping the right verbal bomb or stat. Redsland is a must read, always. M2 and NWM...I can never remember who is who. Always clever.

    Best Armchair GM

    M2

    Best Trademeister

    This award has always and will always belong to Krusty.

    Best Discussion

    Tough one, there. For me it depends on the circumstances. When the Reds are playing, I'd say the best discussion is a game thread or the chat. Otherwise, my favorite discussions are the ones that just go everywhere, like our old last poster threads. This stuff brings out the real funny stuff.

    Worst Typist


    WVPacman.


    Best Use of Statistics

    WOY

    Most Long-winded

    Anyone who types more than about 20 lines at a time. I just can't deal with that much text.


    Most Positive

    TC

    Most Negative

    Hard to name- really. I just tend to gloss over the negative stuff and go somewhere else.

    Best Use of an Emoticon


    I like the butt thing.

    Kitty fer sure.

    Best Moderator

    They all do a great job, if you ask me.

    GAC- never misses saying hi to someone who comes into the room.


    Most Off-Topic

    I don't really think there is such a thing, but that thread about the waterhole was pretty far out there.

    Best Newcomer

    Sorry newbies- I know y'all are out there, but I don't spend enough time here anymore to recognize the names.


    Best Outsider

    Don't get this one.


    The Marty Brennamen Award


    I'll second the nomination of Caveat here.

    Best Historian

    We should stop awarding this one- WOY has it locked up.

    Lifetime Achievement Award

    RFS- he's been here forever (because he's really old, evidently). He's a pillar of the RZ community.

    Re: Fifth Annual Redszone Postees Awards

    Although I still feel like a newcomer lol. I felt the need to post nominations on a few of the subjects I know enough to form an opinion on.

    Most missed poster: Has to be Creek, and for this I do blame Adam Dunn (let the gossip begin!)

    Best Discussion: Absolutely loved the adopt a prospect thread for personal reasons lol. Close tie was doing Redleaders MLB draft.

    Best Newcomer: Vatican Plum she was an absolutely wonderful addition to this board.

    Most Tired Topic of the Year: I have to say The Trade.

    Most Valuable Poster : Woy for his insight and well balanced thoughts.

    Most Clever – Puffy – The man is flat out walking fun and oozing with sarcasm and sweaty tequila

    Nicest – KittyDuran – Fantastic woman who made a impression on me in my very first days here. the world is a better place and Redszone has its true gem in her.

    Best Play by play in game threads: This is the easiest no doubter of them all Caveat emperor. The early threads in season before your bar exam are of Vin Scully praise. Sharp wit, fluidity, and just enough detail to make you feel the angst during painful moments that happened during the game.

    Minor League stats and info guru: DougDirt you are fantastic! I know its your passion but still it takes time and effort. You did that for many of us and for that I commend you and you are my MVP for this season
    2006 Redzone mock Draftee's- 1(st) Daniel Bard(redsox), 1(st sup)( Jordan Walden (Angels), 2(nd) rd.- Zach Britton(Orioles), 3(rd) Blair Erickson(Cardinals), 3(rd) Tim Norton( Yankees),(cuz its a Tim Hortons thing

    Pain heals. Chicks dig scars. Glory... lasts forever.

    For those of you missing Krono, he's away on travel. I suspect we'll see him after New Year's.

    BTW, he'll have nice comments to come back to.

    Re: Fifth Annual Redszone Postees Awards

    REDSZONERS had a banner year, posting well in the clutch and outplaying their pythag. Kudos to everyone who contributed tho this great board (except those who were DFA's with negative rep points).

    Most missed poster

    SteelSD? Well, part of him.


    Best tag line

    I stole KittyDuran's tagline for a while, even though I only made it to one Reds game this year (they won).

    Best Moniker

    Matt700wlw. Yep, we get it you work in radio.

    Most Valuable Poster

    Cyclone792 had a great year, don't know where he found the time.


    Most Clever

    Krono is the king of one-liners


    Best Armchair GM

    M2 is great a dissecting every move. Hire Him!


    Best Trademeister

    Schroomytunes is the lord of impossible trades.

    Best Discussion

    For me, it was the Barry Bonds/HOF/Steriod discussion. The topic returned several times with different versions, but the moral/legal/ethical/practical aspects of it were insightful. So many shades of gray!
    Runner up, the discussion on the WBC, since it was all so new!

    Worst Typist

    as;dliojas;ldfja;er\???


    Funniest

    Redsland is a PRO. BCubb is an exceptional Random Thinker. But I'll give the nod to a Rookie. Natty Redslocks, who has posted about a dozen Song and Poem parodies in the last few months. I can't get his "Adam Dunn" parody of "Green Eggs and Ham" out of my head!


    Best Use of Statistics

    Cyclone and WOY.


    Most Long-winded

    Cyclone and WOY. But it's because they have a lot to say.


    Most Positive

    Edskin. Who treats us to a flower spring rant every year.


    Most Negative

    While everyone thinks Falls City Beer, I'll give my vote to his evil twin flyer85.

    vaticanplum. She makes me want to be 20 years younger and single so I could ask her out. (Yeah, I said, it...but the rest of you guys thought it).


    Best Moderator

    Like umpires and refs, the fact I can't remember who is a mod, means they're all doing an awesome job.

    Best Chatter

    GAC is the Chat Room King. I've only been a couple of times, but he's always willing to type it up with everyone.


    Best Newcomer

    Great Rookie crop this year! Honorable mentions to edabbs44, Reds44, Ltlabner, redsmetz and a ton of others. My vote goes to dougdirt, who has practically taken over the Minor League Talk forum with incredible passion.

    Best Outsider

    MattyMo4Life and Astrobuddy come to mind.


    The Marty Brennamen Award

    Caveat Emptor is absolutely incredible at this. But Kudos to everyone who tried their hand at the PBP (myself included). It's not easy and it's valuable for those who may not be able to get information on the game otherwise (blackouts, traveling, etc.)

    The Old Red Guard Award

    99% of the posts were good. Hard to remember the best.

    Best Historian

    Hard to take this away from WOY. Linedriver's "Today in History" series always brings back memories.

    Lifetime Achievement Award

    Boss-Hog and GIK. It's THEIR site (so I'll suck up).

    Most Tired Topic of the Year

    The complaining about the whining about the complaing about the whining on the game thread. Relax guys. [/QUOTE]

    GREAT JOB EVERYONE

    This "nicest" thing kind of slays me, I have to be honest...much like FCB with his pessimism, I don't know that people consider me nice in real life. You never know how people see you, I guess, but I suspect that I'm too direct and impatient to be considered nice...fair, maybe, but nice? KittyDuran and Chip, those are actually nice people.

    Also I am overflowing with undatable qualities, I promise. I am an insomniac, I can't cook, and I walk like a duck. But nevertheless my "nice" Internets alterego is flattered by your single and 20-years-younger parallel universe self.

    You are very nice, VP. But as far as nice posters go, no one holds a canle to our newest bestest buddy, blackpower. It's just so good of him to keep reminding us how The Man keeps a brother down. Invaluable advice.

    Re: Fifth Annual Redszone Postees Awards

    I think I've won the "Most Long-winded" Award every year!

    I feel like Sally Fields at the Academy Awards.... "You like me! You really, really, like me!"

    And it's not that I'm long-winded at all, but that you all are just very slow readers.

    And I don't go off on tagents either. I don't even know what the wrod means!

    Re: Fifth Annual Redszone Postees Awards

    I just wanted to chime in and put in a few votes:

    Most Valuable Poster

    As great a year Cyclone has had, I have to give it to Team Clark. First of all, he adds a dimension to the board that would otherwise be lacking if he weren't here. I enjoy his ability to give us the inside view of the game. Second, he did a great job on those podcasts and took a lot of input from Redszone. I hope he finds the time to keep up with those. Great job, TC. Keep up the good work.

    Best Use of Stats

    Cyclone hands down. He's really good at getting you to think and I think he's had some HOF worthy stats posts this year.

    Nicest

    Kitty Duran, hands down. Who else goes through the trouble of getting all those extras from the giveaway nights and offering them up for those of us who can't make it to the games? Kitty isn't just nice, she is a genuine good soul.

    Best Newcomer

    I would consider vaticanplum for this award. As a September call-up from last year, she really came on this season. She's my vote for Redszone ROY. LtlAbner made a good showing too.

    See, your niceness betrays you, VP. You probably should have told me to get my wrinkly butt out of your business and called the mod police on me.

    Modesty is a virtue, too, my dear (note fatherly tone), but as a father of two fantastic teenage girls, I'll tell you what I tell them: DON'T SELL YOURSELF SHORT.

    What we know from your interaction on this board:
    - You can spell
    - You can articulate an idea or thought (i.e. you're smart)
    - You're insightful
    - You're respectful and open-minded.
    - You're nice

    and I can go on...but that puts you ahead of 95% of what's out there (being a REDS fan is a plus also). Set your standards high and don't settle (professionally or in your personal life).

    Now I can blush...

    Thank you for the kind words. Quite humbling actually. I have always enjoyed posting here. There are relly great people here who inspire you to put aside your own way of thinking. I really admire that and have learned an immeasurable amount about the game due to those folks. Just when you think you know a lot about the game....

    We have not forgotten about the Podcasts. We have had a lot of issues with the Host. I have several shows "in the can" that we will put up once our host conversion is complete. They really are a lot of fun to do.
    It's absolutely pathetic that people can't have an opinion from actually watching games and supplementing that with stats. If you voice an opinion that doesn't fit into a black/white box you will get completely misrepresented and basically called a tobacco chewing traditionalist...

    Most missed poster

    Miss the daily Richard Hand expose on typing with both eyes closed? Wish Fox could still regale us with constant rumors from his unnamed baseball sources? Fiind yourself melancholy over the absense of a myriad of former posters? Who's missed most?
    Stormy by far.

    Best tag line

    The tag line is that little thing at the bottom of some posts. No, not that little thing at the bottom; the other little thing. Who inspires best? Makes you laugh? Makes you scratch your head trying to decipher those in jokes that are sure to make sense if only you start licking toads.
    Kitty, simply cause everyone stole hers and i kinda like Duran Duran.


    [qoute]Best Moniker

    Like the understatement of princeton, that Ivy League professor of Reds-related knowledge? Or, Hey Kids! How about Krusty? Does one of the Teamsters make you think about things even before you read their posts? If so, show them you care![/quote]third year running i've still gotta go with Poopy, though i haven't seen them on the board in a very long time.


    [quoteMost Valuable Poster

    Whose information do you read first, agree the most with, or disagree but read first anyway? Who finds things you'd never, ever get to read without their help? Who makes you think most?[/quote]M2


    Most Clever

    Best use of poetry, tone, statistics, one-liners to get the point across. Who made a point this year that just made you stop whatever else you were doing and go "uh-huh".
    BCubb, Johnny Footstool and when i actually understan the joke they're making westofyou and pedro.


    Best Armchair GM

    Who would you rather run the Reds than Jim Bowden? Who is the next Theo Epstein?
    a combonation of M2, Cyclone, and princeton.


    Best Trademeister

    Who comes up with the best deals? Whether it be plausible or not, which of the ADD posters here entertains you with their constant tinkering with the Cincinnati roster?
    though he very rarely starts the trade thread, i find that i enjoy WilyMoRock's proposals.


    Best Discussion

    Which discussion throughout the year made you think the most? Made you turn to the most? Got the most response? Made you bang your head on the keyboard and curse the heavens because it came up so slow?
    the thread i'd like to vote for here is two years old now, so i just say it's moot and move on.


    Worst Typist

    Whether it be grammatical, misspellings, or unclear wording, who makes you scratch your head and wonder what they're taking?
    WVPacman and CaptainMorgan, though when i can decipher what they're saying, i enjoy it.


    Funniest

    Who makes you shoot milk through your nose everytime they post? Who makes you giggle even before you open their posts?
    Redsland and BCubb.


    Best Use of Statistics

    Which sabre-head helps you understand the game best?
    Steel, woy, Cyclone, myself.


    Most Long-winded

    Who can't ever shut up, even though you already get the point and wish they'd just stop, they just keep going and going and going, even though they've already gotten across everything they wanted to say they also go off onto other tangents like that time I was sittin in my car and suddenly I thought of a great trade involving Danny Jackson and a gorilla except this gorilla is like the gorilla in Congo and have you ever seen that movie it's really not bad... Nevermind.
    GAC and Cyclone and Steel, but usually in a good way.


    Most Positive

    Begging the pardon of Rosy Red here, who's the rosiest of us all? Whose glass is consantly half full?
    75% of teh board.


    Most Negative

    Who is the eeyore?
    FCB

    Best Use of an Emoticon

    Who deserves and for coming up with all the best of these little guys out of all us posters.
    Krono, and i wish he'd come back.

    Nicest

    Who is the person most likely to give you the Junor Jersey off their back? Who makes you grin like a little kid?
    RFS


    Best Moderator

    Who do you depend on the most? Which one of those guys seems to fix everything?
    Ochre and paintmered.


    And, I submit for new awards this year:

    Best Newcomer
