[seawolf17]

I was thinking about this today. Thanks for setting it up. I'll take the Marlins this season.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Oh, Gwreck, you just made my day. Any one thing I don't have to organize is a gift from Heaven. Show me where to kiss you. Show me.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Considering my proximity for about half of the season, I feel obliged to sign on for the Braves.

[bmfc1]

I'll take the 3 series "@ WAS."

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hey, let a brother share.

I guess that leaves me the "vs. Was"

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Dame las dos series de los Gigantes, por favor.

[Guest GYC]

I'll take Phillies. Home, away, or both. Whatever is deemed appropriate.

[batmagadanleadoff]

So then picks aren't gonna be made one series at a time this year? This season, a forum member selects an opponent and agrees to do every single KTE for that particular team?

[Gwreck]

Feel free to volunteer for as many or as few as you'd like.

Missed out on a National League East team? I have no doubt that they can be split up - ie. what Edgy and bmfc1 did for the Nationals. Just speak up and say something as to who you'd like.

[bmfc1]

Edgy--you can have the July @ WAS series if you'd like.

[G-Fafif]

I will take my theoretical doomsday team, the Pirates, both series. Expect limited insight.

[Guest Edgy DC]

OH, but that just won't do. I wnat to know what side of the bed each Pirate gets up on. I want to know his kid's names and whether they've been naughty or nice. I want to know if the success of the Pirates of the Carribbean franchise has translated into greater sales of Kent Tekulve jerseys.

[G-Fafif]

Buc that.

[Fman99]

Well, variety is the spice of life, or so I've heard. I'll take these dates please.

apr 21-23 @ stl

june 26-28 mfy's

sept 4-6 cubs

[nymr83]

the chart is one big mess to me, maybe its a work-computer issue? i'll take the dregs when other people have picked

[TransMonk]

I'll take the 2 Milwaukee series.

[Guest sharpie]

I usually like to take the Giants but Leiter got to them afore me. I'll take their enemies, the Dodgers.

[Guest themetfairy]

I love this plan, where people can grab the series they want.

I always found the KTEs intimidating (even more than the parody contest), and getting an assignment felt like unwelcome homework to me. So it's making me really happy to see people claim series and know that they're going to enjoy the process

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

I'll take the Rays if they're still open.

[duan]

can I do St LOUIS.

I promise to do it as long as the mrs doesn't go into labour 5 days earlyl

[Frayed Knot]

Looks like the Padres early on (might as well do the Aug Pods series also) plus the @MFYs (June 12-14) are still open.
If so I'll grab those - and maybe more later if some series go begging.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I volunteer to pinch hit for the 35% of these assignments that will go uncompleted.

[metirish]

="duan":26kh9ous]can I do St LOUIS. I promise to do it as long as the mrs doesn't go into labour 5 days earlyl[/quote:26kh9ous] Congrats to you both , certainly we will understand if the KTE is late or if we are informed that it's been written from The Rotunda Hospital...

Edgy DC Apr 02 2009 08:09 AM

Nice stealth announcement, Duan.

smg58 Apr 02 2009 08:28 AM

I'll take the Rockies, since those two series appear to be open.

Gwreck Apr 02 2009 08:30 AM

Frayed Knot Jun 09 2009 02:32 PM Frayed Knot (ooh, that's me. I almost forgot I took this one) plus GWreck & MGiMichigan need to kick their KTEs in gear for the upcoming series against the bastardized-DH league opponents.

SteveJRogers Jun 22 2009 03:35 PM Going to be a bit tied up with several issues around that time, so the Independence Day Weekend series is up for grabs. So to the Phillies, I must say SteveJRogers Jun 29 2009 10:16 AM Bump, see last post on previous page. Benjamin Grimm Jul 07 2009 01:57 PM Do we still need KTE's, or is it sufficient to say that they're the team that will score runs, while the Mets are the team that won't? metirish Jul 07 2009 02:36 PM Seo is probably busy doing a Mets KTE over at Dodgers Blues fan forum. John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 07 2009 02:42 PM I think the tough one is tonight's game v Kershaw. I'm looking for Nick Evans to provide the big stick we need. Tomorrow we deal with Kuroda and the return of Ollie Perez (sorry haters, way better than Redding even when Redding's good, then we get Livan against the beatable if ornery Randy Wolf. Yes, I see a sweep. TransMonk Jul 07 2009 03:03 PM Didn't you say that about Milwaukee? sharpie Jul 07 2009 03:23 PM Just back from outta town driving my daughter to Virginia. No KTE but as Ben said, we don't need them. Everything from my first Dodger KTE applies except that Manny Ramirez is back, they are still winning and their sweep of the Mets was the beginning of the end of The Era of Good Feeling (at least with respect to the notion that we could get along without our star players).

If anyone wants a KTE on the Phillies, feel free to take some. I don't want to seem like I'm being an ass by hogging them or something.

It's a long season for one thing to dominate the top of the main forum. Are there teams left? I'll even take one to make it go away. Kong76 May 05 2009 06:26 PM I'll take the two Houston series, that leaves the at Wrigley series. (assuming FK was correct a number of posts back) I volunteer to be the KTE police.

It will give me a change to mock the preposterous items Chicagoans call snack food, plus there is a chance that Edmonds might re-sign with them and I can shit on his smug grimace a bit.
