All great images. But I voted for WalrusMan because I have the sense of humor of a 12 year old.

Don't think, it could only hurt the ballclub.

It's impossible to vote!

I chose Lasorda and Phanatic because it’s Lasorda getting hit by a bat.

I also really like bird hair and Juggernate.

But it’s Lasorda getting hit by a bat…

Catcher are base running. Hitters are offense.

It was between Juggernate and Caged Bird for me, although all were awesome, but I had to go with Juggernate. The fact that it actually happened was the clincher.

What

There is only one: Afternoon Baseball.

Still-proud, adoptive mama of Notgardo Alfonzo, who's back from the 50-game purgatory. He promises never to do it again. I couldn't get him to promise to hit, though. We're working on that with bribes of M&Ms, kind of like potty training.

I can’t decide between Afternoon Baseball and Juggernate.

"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.'

Question: Were these all created by McC members…or are some merely lifted from elsewhere on the interwebs?

(I know Jeggernate and Walrusman are from here.)

The only one that isn’t McC exclusive is the Nic Cage one. The Lasorda/Phanatic is an edited version of a still image. righcenterfielder (I assume he did it) overlayed it on the beating horse .gif. The Afternoon Baseball comic originally had Korean players, but aras edited it to MLB players.

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.

Candidate full disclosure time!

How the Lasorda-Phanatic beating came to be:

1. Natto posted the still image in the Phillies rally thread.
2. I believe it was Merope who suggested the combo with the beating horse.
3. I was merely the tool that brought it all together.

It was a team effort!

I think you just called yourself a tool

If my penis wins, does Natto win or do I win?

Or, do we all win?

My understanding is that Natto will technically win, but you will also be awarded a medal which, on formal occasions, is to be draped around your penis.

Oh I see.

And then everyone will be able to see it ant touch it?

My penis, not the medal.

It was between the Phanatic and JuggerNate.

I went with Lasorda too

although Juggernate is good because it was used pretty often on the site

The simplicity of the WalrusMan picture

combined with the poorly drawn penis earned it my vote.

by boonitez on Oct 28, 2008 5:04 PM PDT 0 recs

I wonder if “I’m Juggernate, b*****” would get more votes than “Juggernate”

Voted Juggernate. Plus it got rid of “Nasty” Nate. which was sort of a nasty nickname.

Castillo got the DFA. Guestimate for Castillo DFA to come before the 2009 season = 2.
