2010 Schaefer Voting Discussion Thread

[Benjamin Grimm]

I'm going to have to reluctantly discard Ashie62's vote for the 6/24 loss to the Tigers if he doesn't specify which Feliciano he's voting for.

Welcome back. Did you eat Marlin?

[Benjamin Grimm]

No... never even saw it on a menu. Had a lot of pork, though.

[Benjamin Grimm]

For the June 25 game against the Twins, the following voters need to specify which Feliciano they're voting for: LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr, Fman99, Gwreck

Voting for all three games of the 2010 San Juan Series will close on Saturday. If you have any votes to cast, please try to do so today.

La votaci�n para los tres partidos de la Serie 2010 de San Juan se cerrar� el s�bado. Si tiene alguna votos a favor emitidos, por favor trate de hacerlo hoy.

Schaefer POTG 6/28/10 - Marlins 10, Jason Bay 3
Schaefer POTG 6/29/10 - Marlins 7, Mets 6
Schaefer POTG 6/30/10 - Mets 6, Marlins 5

This will also close out the month of June, so be sure to look for the Players of the Month announcement. It looks like we'll have at least one first-time winner, and perhaps as many as three all-new retro baseball cards.

Esto tambi�n se cerrar� el mes de junio, as� que aseg�rese de buscar los jugadores de la convocatoria del mes. Parece que vamos a tener por lo menos uno por primera vez ganador, y tal vez hasta tres tarjetas de retro totalmente nuevo de b�isbol.

Let's remember that players named "Feliciano" need to have their first initial included.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Voting for last Thursday night's series-opening loss to the Nationals will close on Wednesday morning. Please try to get any remaining votes in some time today.

Schaefer POTG 7/1/10 - Nationals 2, Mets 1

The remaining three games that were played in D.C. will close on Thursday. I'll post the official announcement, with links, in this thread tomorrow.

What have you got against Venezuelan beer?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Had I not been constrained by the six-point limit, I'd've slammed 8.95 down for Johan tonight. 8.95!

[Gwreck]

Until the Bay RBI single he was destined for a perfect 10.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I reassessed. I take it back.

9.12

[Guest themetfairy]

I gave Ike Davis a sip of Schaefer for his 9th inning diving catch this evening. Without that play, the inning could have gotten very ugly very quickly.

They were serving Solera tonight, before BG changed it

I need the word "Schaefer" in the thread titles to help me find them.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Besides, we don't want to endanger the sponsorship money we're getting from them.

Your gettin flow!?
All I get is a 30 pack every two weeks.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Seriously, if anyone (with the right skill set) wants to contact the Pabst (current owners of the Schaefer brand) Brewing Company's promotions/publicity/advertising department and negotiate a real sponsorship deal, please go ahead. Just don't sign anything without first running it by myself, KC, and Ben Grimm.

I've sent an inquiry or two, but probably to the wrong office, and I've never heard back.

Seeing some 4+ point scores for Niese makes me think that he's sucking up extra points because so few other players did anything valuable. 3 runs in 7 2/3 isn't bad but it's not world-beating either.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I missed this sucker. Anybody want to tell me about any superlative defensive plays or any other Jeter-class don't-make-it-into-the-boxscore moments?

He also hit a ringing double.

Cora in the first or second. Super diving catch on a sizzling liner.

Edited July 7, 2010 by Guest

[Guest Edgy DC]

Thanks, but I got Cora over two points in the hole as it is, so he's not making my ballot unless he pulls an Agee out there.

But then got thrown out on the basepaths like an idiot, negating much of the value of the double.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I forgot that, I will subtract something for it. But I wasn't trying to "use up" points his teammates didn't earn, that's not how I roll.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Voting for Tuesday night's win over the Reds will close on Friday morning. Still haven't voted? Do it today!

Schaefer POTG - 7/6/10 Mets 3, Reds 0

Not meant as a personal knock, just an observation born out of frustration with the Mets' inability to give Bronson Arroyo the beating he so richly deserves.
