McCovey Awards: Best Non-gameday Image

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.

Panda Sees Cake makes me LOL everytime. I believe SoFaKing Mike posted it first, although I could be wrong.

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??

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
