Motivational Poster Contest

174246766_ea2fd78204_tiny by Grant on in News Comment 78 comments

So, if I took pleasure in this but ripped on Russ Springer for throwing at Bonds, am I a hypocrite? Probably. Maybe I should make another motivational poster about not caring.

It's time for the first ever McCovey Chronicles motivational poster contest. Go to motivationalbuck.com, and use the photo hosted here. The winner gets two million McCovey Bucks.

Re: Motivational Poster Contest
On a related topic: this site is #3 on Google for I hate A.J. Pierzynski. Cool.

by Grant on May 20, 2006 6:45 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Only #3?
Come on people!

I hate A.J. Pierzynzki!  I hate A.J. Pierzynzki!  I hate A.J. Pierzynzki!  I hate A.J. Pierzynzki!  I hate A.J. Pierzynzki!  I hate A.J. Pierzynzki!  I hate A.J. Pierzynzki!  I hate A.J. Pierzynzki!

Re: Only #3?
See, that's only part of the equation. You have to use the phrase as a link, too. For instance: I hate A.J. Pierzynski would, in theory, be the best way to do it. That said, I can't say I hate A.J. Pierzynski enough to throw stuff at him or even to wish him bodily harm, but I can say I hate A.J. Pierzynski enough to boo him mercilessly and wish him professional ruin.

Re: Motivational Poster Contest
Nice Snatch reference, by the way. There never can be too many references to that movie.

The scene where Tyrone, Vinny, and Sol pull up in front of the bookie's before they rob it was the hardest I've ever laughed watching a movie, ever.

I'd be the best at everything, but I'd need everyone else to either die or stop being better than me first.

Conform!
Who do you think you are?  Do you think you're too cool to conform to the colors everyone else is using?  You've got some nerve!

Re: Motivational Poster Contest
Actally, I think most references to A.J.'s chin are pretty much inherent non-sequiturs.  But I guess, "keep your wobble up," doesn't have the same zing and zazz.

That's kind of cold, especially since he could have been a Triple Crown winner, but the facts the facts, he's probably heading for that stable in the sky.

He seems to be fatter than Tommy Lasorda in that picture - maybe that's a matzo ball he's reaching for instead of a baseball.

I think we now know what he's spending his millions on:  In and Out Double-Double, fries and chocolate shake, yum, and make that to go, I'm going to start today.

Re: Motivational Poster Contest
You host the picture on a site like photobucket.com, or imageshack.us. Some of the above posters are linked directly to the sites that host them.

And the Over .500, while not qualifying for the McCovey Bucks, was very nice.

Thanks, but by using a picture other than the one Grant specified, I think I'm ineligible for the two million McCovey bucks.

Does anyone have a link to that video?  I never saw and feel that I may not fully live until I see it for myself.  Though I've been imagining it for years now.

Re: Motivational Poster Contest
Any time there's footage of someone or something doing something that someone else is talking about, it's on that wacky YouTube.com site. Go there and search for Pierzynski, and it should be there in 30 different formats....

Re: Motivational Poster Contest
In all honesty, the still pics make it look better than it was.  In the video, you can see that it was a "close quarters" punch that really didn't have much behind it.

Re: Motivational Poster Contest
As a die hard Cub fan, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has participated in this contest, because in an otherwise dreary season (again) for us, these posters have given many us of some very big laughs. Some were truly inspired, all very funny. Michael Barrett rocks.

P.S. Want Dusty back?
