Here is wave two for the visual portion of our awards.
I don't know whom to credit for this one.
Little Giants
fwoty oz's, um, this thing.
rightcenterfielder's SS Russell Martin image goes here
(I was trying to find it but couldn't.)
Next time, I'm getting people to post or link to the images themselves because searching for them is a pain in the patootie. Or can upload them to the McImages account.

LOL Thanks for the nomination but I can’t compete with these other ones. I’m going with little giants just for the epicness and time involved.
By the way, I saw Panda Sees Cake as somebody’s signature on arenajunkies.com’s forums… McC images going viral??
Nobody likes money
Actually I think we got it from another forum.
I know you nerds know NOTHING about the real game of baseball, or any other athletic endeavor requiring teamwork under physical stress.

It was a panda taking down a ship that had Russell Martin on the side. It was introduced around the time of the All Star Game.

Natto, you need to change the Lincecum Little Giants so that his eyes are red and there’s a Choco Taco peeking out of his glove.
"Those that drink the Kool-Aid, please leave the room."
Are those initials that pop up in the lower right corner of the Panda gif?
“DB”
A clue to the creator?
Must be Dr. B.
I gotta go with the Little Giants…

The panda-cake gif is perpetually hilarious, but the little Giants are true art. Had to go with them.

I went with entries that had at least two nominations.

With apologies to the awesome Little Giants
I have never laughed so hard at a Giants image as I did at Panda meets cake.
STEVE HOLM! refuses to be the odd man out.
The Little Giants are awesome, and I applaud the amount of time and effort that must have gone into them,
but Cake rules.
You can't solve your problems with the same level of thinking that created the problems - Albert Einstein to Brian Sabean
I gotta go with SS Russell Martin. Never forget.
Merkin Valdez? Manuel Mateo? A rose by any other name...
Voted Little Giants
but was surprised that the zoolander tim/cain/zito/panda animated gif wasn’t one of the options, not that it would have changed my voting.
Adopted brother of Jason Jarvis.
That’s cause no one submitted it for nomination.

Wait, hasn't Natto won this award before?
I thought you couldn’t win the same award twice.

I thought the art awards were exempt from the no-repeat rule, because we’re voting on the work, not the person making the work.

I don’t know. I made different jokes this year, but I’m still not eligible to win most amusing again.
"We're in this thing!" My adopted Giant: "Raptor Jesus" Guzman, "Sweet Jesus" Guzman and Jesus H. Guzman.
But in that category, YOU are being nominated, not your jokes. In this category, Natto’s artwork is being nominated, not Natto himself. It’s not really the same thing.
"Why not trade Bumgarner for some banger stud?" - sfgiants.com commenter or online porn ad? You be the judge!
Adopted Giant: the probably soon to be ditched but still awesome Fred Lewis
Yes it is.
You’re missing the point of the original rule, which is to ensure different people are rocognized every year.
"We're in this thing!" My adopted Giant: "Raptor Jesus" Guzman, "Sweet Jesus" Guzman and Jesus H. Guzman.
So...
What should we do?

Donate your votes to charity.

I don’t know. I guess we could delete this thread and have a re-vote…which is probably what should be done with the (newcomer thread because of sey hey nation). If we do, we could open the nomination process back up as I’m sure there are other good candidates.

We should also put Natto’s mod powers up for vote. We have seen blatant abuse of power from him lately.

The first Chester Arthur fanboy ever.
Why don’t we just change the rules?
Brian Sabean strongly encourages you to disregard the drudgery of your employment responsibilities and join him in the consumption of spirituous libations.
Because there was a egalitarian spirit behind the original rule that I think is still valid; we’re trying to recognize different people.
My comments are in no way a slight against Natto. If there was an McC Image Hall of Fame, he’d have his own wing. I just really like the rule we made in year two that you can only win an award once.
"We're in this thing!" My adopted Giant: "Raptor Jesus" Guzman, "Sweet Jesus" Guzman and Jesus H. Guzman.
I hope you don’t reach a point where undeserving people like myself win something.

... null, void, invalid, iniquitous, unjust, damnable, reprobate, inane, empty of meaning and effect for all time
Like so many others i appreciate the art of little giants, but my body convulsing with laughter at panda seeing cake tells me who to vote for
Congrats to my soul mate and birth brother Zach Wheeler on being drafted into greatness. Should I just buy my Wheeler jersey now, or wait till my next birthday?
Dodger taint…
Utter frustration and futility.

but the sheer hilarity makes up for it

Looks like the real contest is between the cake and the little giants. I went with the little giants. Although I like the bridge fight and the SS martin a lot.
Also, I don’t know if it was gameday or not, but I can’t believe the velez suck it russell martin gif isn’t a choice (not in either image poll). That’s one of my favs.
Adopted Giant: Henry Sosa
Or the Russell Martin postgame dejection in the dugout... classic
Aaron King is still my homeboy... iffy mechanics and all
McFAQ for all you newcomers out there.

I liked the emo version as well

I like little giants
cause it looks like Franchez is throwing a ball into Renteria’s face, or he’s just swung really really early on a change-up
love the little giants
but shouldn’t velez look more like this:
VROOOOOMM!!!
A hearty thank you to Rich Aurilia for all the good memories, and to the Niners for finally getting the uni's (mostly) right.
