McAwards Voting: Outstanding Newcomer

To kick off the voting, here are the nominees for the Outstanding Newcomer award. Although there were many new people who popped up in McC this year, these guys are the ones who made the greatest impact on our community. Or at least, they were the only ones we could remember that are new. Let's get voting-ical!

I only added people who joined the site in 08. Thus folks like delorean and Lars weren’t included even though they were nominated.

There amass been plenty of articles written this spring about the stud shortstop Matt Cain and Tim Lincecum , as well as the fluid young outfielders and thirteen basemen Kevin Frandsen.

Technicality! Lars must have been sneaky quiet in ‘07 because I don’t remember him.

Though, my memory does suck.

Who is the real Lars the Wanderer? And why did he lurk for so long? When Lars voted not to post on McC, a cold chill ran through my body.

I think more people should lurk for a long period before posting

It would limit all the ridiculous trade proposal stuff.

Again and again, xanthan is using negative attacks to put down his opponents. This is the dirtiest campaign in McCovey Chronicles history. Please, don’t be swayed by the old politics. Vote on the issues.

I’m groug and I approve this message.

I know I’m way late on this but it would seem to make sense that people who joined the site after the last awards were given out should be eligible for Outstanding Newcomer. Not that I care so much but I know Lars is pretty bummed about not being eligible.

Speed, defense... and an almost fanatical devotion to getting picked off.

by SF Pete on Oct 24, 2008 12:25 PM PDT up reply actions  

I took that in consideration, but Lars actually joined in March 07, so that would’ve been before the last awards.

If your art isn’t as good as Larson’s, you know you probably should have tried harder.

After reviewing the latest polls

My fellow McCoven,
I have decided to pull out of the race. I thank my supporters for their um… support… and urge them to back the FairweatherFan for Outstanding Newcomer ticket. I feel that his superior track record of 6090 comments since March 17th is more than enough qualify him as outstanding. While can of corn is an entertaining poster, I do not believe that 2867 comments since April 30 is enough experience to lead this great community. I urge you my friends, vote FairweatherFan ’08!

CoC is the one who makes pie

She contributed to several cooking threads.

"While conservatives tell you 'leave things alone and no one will lose,' and liberals tell you 'interfere a lot and no one will lose,' baseball says 'someone will lose.' Not only says it - but insists upon it! ... Democracy is lovely, but baseball's more mature." BVCE supports SF Dugout and Manny Burriss.
