2010 Schaefer Voting Discussion Thread

[Benjamin Grimm]

The Mets only have one guy named "Davis" so there's no need to cast your vote for "Ike Davis."

Also, only one Rodriguez, so please just vote for Rodriguez, not FRodriguez.

Please remember, last names only! Thanks.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Both games of Tuesday's doubleheader sweep over the Dodgers will close on Friday morning.

Schaefer POTG 4/27/10 (Game 1) - Mets 4, Dodgers 0

Schaefer POTG - 4/27/10 (Game 2) - Mets 10, Dodgers 5

[Benjamin Grimm]

Voting for Wednesday afternoon's win over the Dodgers at Citi Field will close some time over the weekend, perhaps as early as Saturday morning. If you still have a vote to cast, please try to do so today.

Schaefer POTG 4/28/10 - Mets 7, Dodgers 3

Stay tuned next week for the first Players of the Month announcement of the new decade! The Pitcher of the Month has already been clinched, but Friday's game may end up determining the winners of the other two awards: Player of the Month and Reliever of the Month.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I assume Wright wins Player of the Decade, such as there is one.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Well, yes. We only voted for the last five years of the decade, and Wright won the annual award in four of those five years.

If we had voted all ten years, Piazza might have had a shot.

[Benjamin Grimm]

All three games from the weekend series in Philadelphia will close on Wednesday morning. Sunday's game is still lightly voted, but it will close nonetheless. Anyone who hasn't voted yet and wants to, please try to get your numbers submitted today.

Schaefer PotG, 4/30, Mets 9, Phillies 1

Schaefer PotG, 5/1, Phillies 10, Mets 0

Schaefer POTG 5/2/10 - Phillies 11, Mets 5

[metsmarathon]

man, my internet has been butt-slow lately. its been chewing into my ability to vote here. hopefully, i can get something together by lunchtime...

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

By most objective measures, he probably wasn't THE PotG, but Big Blanc Hank is getting little-to-nothing for nailing Votto at second in the 5th inning just before Phillips' HR (and chipping in a 1-for-3 day to boot).

[Willets Point]

I stopped participating in Schaefer Voting long ago because every time I voted I had a new asshole torn. And it wasn't Edgy doing the tearing. It was everyone.

In other words, "Physician heal thyself."

[Benjamin Grimm]

The games played in Cincinnati against the Reds on Monday and Tuesday nights will both close on Friday, some time after noon.

Schaefer POTG 5/3/10 - Reds 3, Mets 2 (11 Innings)

Schaefer POTG 5/4/10 - Mets 5, Reds 4

That's a TERRIBLE attitude about Schaefer points!

BOO! BOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Benjamin Grimm]

Just wanna keep this on the current page so nobody misses it...

Forgive me for saying so but this reads to me like a bunch of B.S.
Then again, I sense my views on this issue are in the minority.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I agree with you too. People have been way too sensitive to perceived criticism of their votes, and stubborn about it too.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Voting for Wednesday afternoon's loss to the Reds in Cincinnati will close some time over the weekend, perhaps as early as Saturday morning.

Schaefer POTG 5/5/10 - Reds 5, Mets 4

[Guest themetfairy]

Thanks Ashie - I didn't realize that Ike was on base for the second Barajas homer.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Top 5 names that, when atop the PotG voting, tell you-- with about 85-90% accuracy-- how the game went without your having seen the score:

5) Manny Acosta
4) Luis Castillo
3) Pedro Feliciano
2) Alex Cora
1) Raul Valdes

[ashie62]

I like to vote. How other people vote has no bearing on how I do

[Benjamin Grimm]

[Benjamin Grimm]

Only six voters so far (themetfairy, Ashie62, LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr, G-Fafif, Benjamin Grimm, and Edgy DC) for Wednesday afternoon's loss to the Nationals. I'll be closing the voting over the weekend, perhaps on Saturday morning, so please try to get your votes in today.

Schaefer POTG 5/12/10 - Nationals 6, Mets 4

[Guest Edgy DC]

Vote, you maniacs! It's the most important election or our lifetimes!

[Benjamin Grimm]

The other day I received a surprise review copy of 100 Things Mets Fans Should Know and Do -- or else they MUST DIE the other day. I noticed that this forum got a shout-out in section 81. (As did that other web site I'm involved in.) Silverman (has he ever visited us here, by the way?) made particular mention of the Schaefer awards. I thought it kinda neat that this rinky-dink little exercise, which only about ten or twelve people, at most, participate in, has been immortalized, so to speak, in a published volume.

[Guest Kong76]

Is Or Else They Must Die a follow up to Before They Die which
came out a couple of years ago? The mention is in the first
edition too. I don't know if Matt visits but it should be easy
to find out lol.

I haven't read this thread in awhile, Willet we love ya but that was
kinda whiny up top. I hope to start voting sometime soon, I'm just
not all that focused on Mets yet this year as it might seem.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Voting for Thursday's series-opening loss to the Marlins in Miami will close on Tuesday morning. If you have votes to cast, please try to do so today.

Schaefer POTG 5/17/10 - Mets 3, Braves 2

[Benjamin Grimm]

Despite an extremely low number of voters, Tuesday night's game in Atlanta will close on Friday morning. If your name isn't themetfairy, Edgy DC, G-Fafif, Benjamin Grimm, or LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr, then we still haven't heard from you.
