December's Bullet of Cool

[Guest Edgy DC]

Sorry to come in so late with this, but a busy man is a busy man and I've been one of those.

Anyhow, it's been a fine month of championship strutting for LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr, holding our November Bullet of Cool Award. But December is well past past now, and it's time for that chilly holiday month to have a champion of her own. And you --- YOU! --- can give her one, by voting for one of these babies below.

Thanks for all contributions --- the nominations and the Bullets themselves. Onwards....

1) mFS62 opens the nominations pushing forward my absoultely incorrect verse prediciton of the ultimate destination of this offseason's free agents.

Matt Holiday? A Met, I say! By Christmas time of course
Jason Bay will run and play on San Francisco wharfs

Lackey, he is Dodger bound, he'll say nice things 'bout Torre
Joel Pineiro? Boston hero --- that's my fucking story

Aroldis and his purple crayon? Chi-town with the Cubs
Pettitte dies a Yankee, talking to no other clubs

Back to Philly, Randy Wolf --- that's where he'll survive
Orlando Hudson to the Mets; I don't think that he'll thrive

Felipe Lopez, no one trusts, so he'll end up with Texas
Ex-Cubans like Arguelles float to-ward the Yankee nexus

Chone Figgins heads to Houston-town, made rich by oil and cattle
Cameron returns to spawn, swims upstream to Seattle

Nick Johnson --- HA! --- Nick Johnson? --- HO! --- I guess Cleveland, maybe
Polanco spends his final days in Tampa/St. Pete, baby!

Scutaro to Atlanta, folks --- I hope so, 'cuz he'll suck
Gonzalez, Mike, the Yanks will like --- they'll back up Hank's cash truck

Ben Sheets, Ben Sheets, will suck the teats of Wilpon and the Mets
Tejada-time in Anaheim, that's where I'll place my bets

Soriano? Sucks, hermano, but you'll be Rockie
Harden gets rich from the Cubs --- watch it make him cocky

Brad Penny gets from Boston an incentive-laden dealie
To Arizona, Johnny D. --- your wife will get all peely

For Wagner, they'll play "Enter Blandman" down there in Atlanta
Garland's gwine to be a Ray (not "Devil," neither "Manta")

Ryota Igarashi we will see in San Diego
Matsui quits and does cocaine, gets busted in Tobago

Beltre, he plays at third base --- the Reds need one of those
I think Bedard will be a Card --- they'll like the way he throws

LaRoche returned to Braveland and they'll keep him there this time
Olivo in for Varitek in Boston's urban grime

Marquis, Marquis, mine eye doth see a Colorado summer
Pete says bye, and all will cry --- Dominicano bummer

Delgado to Toronto, man, you know he's heading home
The truth is I have no idea, so I wrote a crappy poem

As always it's an honor just to be nominated.

[Centerfield]

Great stuff.

I'll decline to vote as I think it's enough to just re-post them and enjoy them again.

I'm like Susan Lucci.
I wait anxiously each time the nominations come out, then search for my name.
And, like Susan Lucci, I may have to wait 20 years to win.

Later

[Guest Edgy DC]

Found a missing nomination (see #18 above) for Susan. As usual, vote changing is permitted up until the deadline (which I think is Wednesday).

[Guest Edgy DC]

Two more unearthed --- numbers 19 and 20 above.

It looks like anyone who voted prior to the addition of the new options will have to revote.

Me, I find myself rooting for (and voting for) the BOC that I nominated, rather than the one for which I was nominated.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Yeah, sorry. That stinks.

Everybody re-vote! No more updates.

Same here, even though you have little to do directly with its coolness. It's like you're the producer or something.

[Of course, it helps that I've been coasting this month... my three noms seem to be very much of the old-All-Star-Cal-Ripken variety: all reputation.]

[ashie62]

I went number 10..nice dig at fatessa

[G-Fafif]

Thanks for your support. I owe it all to listening too often to Mike Francesa, damn it.

[metirish]

I hope I sound as sincere as the actors at Oscar time when I say I'm just happy to have been nominated......I'm in the losers lounge BTW.

And there's all the shrimp you can eat.*
