Can I propose our very own luddite?

[mikemarshall]

Of course you may, Fretslider. I already know that Lin is proposing to nominate at least one of the other more - provocative - members of this board when she posts on the subject tomorrow!

[beth]

I'll go with Bush Admirer and Mouse this time around.

[Big Lin]

Jumbo and Mouse.

[♫anna♫]

My labtop is of course finito and until i get my new PC i'm dependent on internet cafés!

My 4 honorable mentions are
1 ) IamJumbo
2 ) SkyLark
3 ) Beth
4 ) Chefmate
If any of you 4 have a favorite baseball team let me know and they can have it for next Friday's game. Otherwise tomorrow i'll look at the baseball scedule and decide which 4 games will decide my nominations and my vote in the final rond!

[Big Lin]

Any more nominations? The poll will close on 23rd April which by my reckoning is Wednesday so I'm afraid you'll have to decide a bit quicker than Friday on your candidates, Anna. Sorry to be a spoilsport!

Next month perhaps I should start it a little earlier so you can get your baseball fixtures in!

OKEY DOOKEY! Since we get to nominate 2 that can be done with Tuesday's games between:

1 ) The New York Yankees vs The Oakland Athletics in Oakland this Tuesday at 7PM US Pacific Time

2 ) The Chicago Cubs vs The New York Mets in New York 6PM Eastern Time!

My 4 honorable mentions have until tomorrow evening to pick a team-first come first served!!

[Big Lin]

Thanks, Anna.

[chefmate]

San Francisco Giants

[Deleted]

Now I'm confused...

I'll go for the New York Mets. Know nothing about them but they sound serious.

[beth]

Cubs

Thank you, Anna.

Chefmate!
Are you confusing the Oakland athletics with the SF Giants?

Cubs

Thank you, Anna.

Both the Cubs and the Mets have an identical record going into tonight's game! The link gives a rundown on the upcoming game at 7:10 US Eastern Time. chicago.cubs.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2010_04_20_chnmlb_nynmlb_1&mode=preview

I wish The Toad would come back. I'd vote for him.

[jean]

I'm sure his period of banishment is at an end by now. Does he know you want him?

Could you nominate him in absentia?

[mikemarshall]

His suspension was lifted some time ago but he has not been back to post or (apparently) even to view the board.

However, Octopus, if you wish to enter his name into the ring you are free to do so.

[♫anna♫]

For the upcoming Mets vs Cubs game Beth has the Chicago Cubs and the New York Mets go to:



The Game will start in about 3 and a half hours from now in New York!


In the game between the New York Yankees and Oakland Athletics, i assume Chefmate wanted to chose the Oakland Athletics, accross the bay from the SF Giants and thus Jumbo gets the Yanks!







The Game starts in 5 hours!

[mikemarshall]

Hm, I'm anything but an expert on baseball but aren't the Yankees rather odds-on favourites for their game?

[beth]

If I'm looking at the right score board, the Mets blew the Cubs away . . . 4 to 0 .

Congrats, Sky. You richly deserve a turn at this.

Given that he hasn't posted for over a month I don't think he can be the member of the month.

[jade]

I'll nominate Octopus every time

reciprocity and all that

Skylark probably can't get to a computer (even if she wanted to).

She's away walking in Scotland. (I know this as I met her for a coffee/wine yesterday as she was en route.)

Just in case you think she's ignoring you . . .

[Big Lin]

As if!
