National League Westeros -- Lies and Perfidity

I would like to point out this quote from the David G Fan Post
But, as I’m sure you Giants fans realize, your games go quickly, because many of your players swing as if blindfolded and set upon a pinata.

I thought Nate Schierholtz was cool before it was cool to think Nate Schierholtz was cool.

I remember that. Wow.

One way or another, this darkness got to give.

My favorite quote from David G's piece
I watch Casillo about to throw his first pitch. And I watch…oh my god. How does he not know what his first pitch will be? Why is he squinting at the catcher like Lalush? There’s no one on base.

Just hilarious! ; )

I am saddened by the poor showing of L&P’s amazing, epic piece.

I voted for it

I mean, this is a GOT fansite, right?

Just play a Brandon or two, come on!

It was phenomenal. If I wasn’t such a lazy man, I would log into my sockpuppet accounts and vote for it again.

Wow

The voting for this is not going as I anticipated at all. I figured the GoT crowd would produce a crushing victory for L&P.

Voted for GP

Voting for David G seems like it would be akin to giving a pitcher the MVP, or a NPB veteran the ROY.

Come on guys

Not only does “NL Westeros” capture the zeitgeist of the site, surely we can’t give this award to a…METS fan?!

Ron Washington really Britta'd that Series.

Dammit, we suck if we can’t even get one of our own native fanposts to win.
