He takes quite a bit in stride. Hang in there you poor misguieded soul.  Best Moderator Anyone that is among the living. Best Newcomer Big Donkey - thanks for the heads up on the trade scene.

Re: Fourth Annual Redszone Postees Awards
I think you guys all rawk, as do the ladies, so it's impossible for me to make any distinctions here.
Well, except for remdog being the most negative poster on the board. Other than that, kudos to all of yous. And stuff.

Re: Fourth Annual Redszone Postees Awards

Really, I get a kick out of the guys who go all postal. But I'm transgressive. Best tag line Mine usually kick ass. Best Moniker: Boobhat. Awesome. Most Valuable Poster M2 and RFS62: the Willie and Lefty of Redszone Most Clever WOY--storehouse of arcana that kicks ass. Best Armchair GM Steel--I'd turn the Reds' front office over to this guy. Worst Typist What happened to that one guy, *something* ND? Dude was the least lucid writer ever. After reading one of his posts, I felt like I had bugs crawling around in my brain. Funniest Red Leader's dropped a number of zingers this year. He's on a roll. Best Use of Statistics M2--the solidest conclusions drawn from data. Most Positive Again, Red Leader fits the bill. Best Use of an Emoticon Gotta go Krono here. Nicest Too hard--I can't pinpoint a single poster. But RFS62 is damn high. Best Moderator Boss, Ochre Most Negative That one guy *something* 4256--he's pretty negative. Best Newcomer: Captain Hook Lifetime Achievement Award Krono's post count is freakin' nuts. Hats off--you bleed deep red. Most Tired Topic of the Year Losing |

Re: Fourth Annual Redszone Postees Awards
Most Missed Poster
ramp101 – He provided a welcome outsider’s view when the Reds were teetering between contender and pretender. Of course, that was back when his own Marlins were doormats. As they climbed in the standings, the rampster didn’t have time for us anymore.  After the off-season they’ve had, we’ll presumably be seeing lots of our old friend for the foreseeable future. Best Avatar paintmered – I’m not sure where that little guy is galloping off to, but it sure looks like he can’t wait to get there. Best Moniker Danny Serafini – There are Neil Diamond songs that are so stupid I laugh hysterically whenever I hear them. Between his Mexican League pedigree, his promises of 15-win seasons, and his Japanese League sayonara, Danny boy is Forever in Blue Jeans. Most Valuable Poster SteelSD – He’s Yoda, patiently explaining for the thousandth time that hate leads to the dark side, and then posting three-year park-adjusted splits that prove it. Few combine the passion, eloquence, and evidence to make a claim, back it up, and sway the skeptics. He does it all day every day. The Hank Aaron Award westofyou – Fans gripe that the MVP Award should be paired with a Best Hitter Award. Writers remind said fans that such an award already exists, and it’s named after the HR king. WOY brings a wealth of statistical data to the party, but that’s giving him short shrift. He also has an unbelievably deep storehouse of knowledge about the history of the game, and a great appreciation for the interplay between the past the present. Most Clever creek14 – Your quips keep me in stitches. They say laugher is the best medicine, and that’s good, because these stitches really hurt. Best Armchair GM M2 – The GM has to see the big picture, know all the players, know all the other guys’ players, be able to define a strategy, articulate it to the masses, and sell it to the unwashed. In short, he needs to be smart, articulate, dynamic, pragmatic, charismatic, and spell my name right on the check. I think this is the most important position in the organization, and I’d give it to M2 in a heartbeat. Best Nuxhall Impersonation RFS62 – Joe is the conscience of this organization, and RFS is the conscience of RedsZone. Usually warm and friendly, occasionally stern, he’s the barometer for how a day, or a thread, is going. Best Discussion Some say DunnHater arrived with a bit of an agenda. All I know is that DH/BF swooped in and led discussions so full of flawed premises and circuitous logic that they led to wide-ranging discussions about OBP, OPS, slugging, conservation of outs, RC/27, lineup construction, and any number of other fundamental tenets of baseball theory. To read these threads and learn what is shared in them by so many Zoners is to begin to appreciate RedsZone as a graduate course in fandom conducted in a playground sandbox at recess. Funniest BCubb2003 – Another shoutout for Random Thoughts. The saddest tragedies give audiences brief moments of levity between the gaps when sorrow turns to anguish. RedsZone is kind of like that sometimes. Most Positive GAC – You want to believe, no doubt about it. Heck, you wanted to believe nobody would score on Danny Graves, and if that’s not blind devotion, I don’t know what is. Most Negative REDREAD – I hope that in nominating him for this award, he accepts it as a badge of honor. He’s been saying for years that the worst would come to pass, and he’s been right at every turn. If there were someone in the Reds organization who had the juice and the guts to say the things REDREAD has said over the years, we may not be in this mess. But there’s not and we are. Nicest KittyDuran – What a kind, caring, giving person. (Both on the field and off./gg) I’m inclined to believe there are less than six degrees of separation between her and noted nice guy, The Mayor. Best Moderator Chip R – Prolific. Fair. Funny. Everything you want in an overseer. Best Newcomer Caveat Emperor – Great first year! You made an immediate splash and kept right on swimming. You’re a fine addition to our band of…whatever we are. The Old Red Guard Award I learned a lot in the posts that broke down last year’s off-season acquisitions, polled the assembled masses on their thoughts, and ran detailed analyses of what 2005 might look like. In some ways they were case studies in optimists/pessimists and stats/scouts. But there are some pretty in-depth discussions in there, too, all backed by solid numbers and statistical modeling. Interesting threads that portended full-fledged nightmares. Lifetime Achievement Award Boss Hogg – It’s tempting to give this to one of the really ancient posters, like Krono or Raisor , but none of this would have been possible without Boss, and this year in particular has helped to drive that fact home.Most Tired Topic of the Year “You can't judge DanO because you’re not a GM; also, you don’t know what kind of offers he got.” All-Stars Joseph – Newbie-turned-mod; always impressive. ochre – Already was a mod, and a fine one at that. letsgojunior – Not a mod, but a prolific poster and outstanding individual. traderumor – Your transformation from doe-eyed follower to table-pounding revolutionary is a testament to the power of RedsZone. Puffy – I don’t loath you. MWM – You know his story. TeamCasey – Too many posts about players’ butts, but otherwise pretty cool.

Re: Fourth Annual Redszone Postees Awards
Most Missed Poster
ORG. I didn't post when he was here, probably because I spent so much time reading and thinking about what he was saying that I never bothered to write anything myself. Why even try to measure up to that? Best Avatar WOY always has some clever ones. Best Moniker Can't say. Most Valuable Poster Can't name just one. Steel and WOY come to mind, but each person brings something different. Worst typist captainmorgan07, in a landslide Best Armchair GM M2 Best Discussion Just about anything on the days leading up to, including, and after the draft. Funniest BCubb2003's random thoughts posts, and Puffy. Most Positive Teamsters and Krusty. I don't always agree with Krusty. Heck, I seldom do, but I like his ability to always look for the bright side and his belief that this team actually can get better. Most Negative BF if the topic is anything related to Adam Dunn. REDREAD for his stark realism. I don't always like what he says, but he is right a lot of the time. Nicest Can't name just one. Best Moderator All of them. Best Historian WOY Best Newcomer Joseph, making mod that fast has to be something. Honorable mention to WilyMoRocks. The Old Red Guard Award Although I learned a lot from much of the statistical analysis, WOY's historical posts were a great read. Lifetime Achievement Award Boss and GIK for starting the whole darn thing. Most Tired Topic of the Year Anything mentioning Adam Dunn, strikeouts, and sac flies. Sheer volume of posts and clever use of emoticons We should just name this the Krono award. |

ORG - The place isn't the same without his posts. Best tag line Hmmm, I've had so little time to read lately that I can't come up anything - so they're all good. Best Moniker princeton - even though I don't like the school. Most Valuable Poster The one, the only RFS62. The Yoda of Redszone. Most Clever I'm pretty impressed with registerthis's efforts lately. Best Armchair GM A tag team of cincinnati chili and M2. Best Trademeister Krusty has traded everyone on the Reds roster at least 5 times. Best Discussion "Be the last person to post on this thread."  Funniest Puffy and RL. Best Use of Statistics WOY is the master of his domain. Most Long-winded Edskin on his "must-win" threads. Most Positive TC and TB. Most Negative The rest of us. Best Use of an Emoticon zombie Nicest Long list - Roy, TC, zombie, MWM, Paint, pedro, CE, SANDY, SuperBarry, Rosie, Krono, RL, Puffy Best Moderator All of them Best Newcomer CE and registerthis Best Outsider MattyMo and Ramp Best Historian Again WOY Lifetime Achievement Award RFS - really the heart and soul of the board. Most Tired Topic of the Year All of the Dunn discussions. Best Looking Redszone Male Puffy in a landslide. Last edited by letsgojunior; 12-15-2005 at 06:23 PM. |

Re: Fourth Annual Redszone Postees Awards
Most missed poster
Stormy. I can't remember when he exited the building, but the lights have been dimmer ever since. We've picked up some real gems along the way, but it's a shame when one has to move on. And of course, ORG. Best tag line ZOMBIE Lots of others, but I have a hard time remembering who they belong to. Most Valuable Poster Rather than say one poster, I will mention the things that always get my attention- good use of stats (and formatting!), deep knowledge of the game, sense of history, and respect of other posters. That last part is the one thing I believe makes the best posters stand out. Some use stats, some don't, but those who hold their fellow Zoners in high esteem are the Most Valuable Posters. Most Clever Redsland NWM deserves a nod. Can be funny, but most often bitingly clever. Best Armchair GM M2 - there has never been a FO move by any club that M2 couldn't parse and comment on. Best Trademeister Krusty Worst Typist I don't mind poor typing as much as I do poor writing. It's okay to be in a hurry, but for god's sake take the time to express yourself cogently. Funniest Puffy, Zombie. Best Use of Statistics Steel, WOY Most Positive GAC, TC Most Negative BF never saw a thread that couldn't be turned sour. Best Moderator They all do a great job. Thanks MODS! Best Chatter I don't know. It seems like every time I start chatting, people log off. Hello!? Lifetime Achievement Award boss - gik We should just close voting on this one, folks. No Boss/gik, no Redszone. Most Tired Topic of the Year "The FO/Dano sucks." We know already and I'd argue that we'd all be a lot happier if we just accepted their baseline suckitude. That way, we can't be anything but pleasantly surprised by even something as minor as Milton's ERA getting under 6.00. Best Avatar I can't remember who this belonged to, but the animated SNL "More Cowbell" avatar made me ruin my keyboard.
