Song Parody Contest?

[Centerfield]

I'm in if there are still tickets available.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Did I opt in? I don't think I did.

[seawolf17]

CF replaces BG in the 19.

I liked the year we included managers, stadia, mascots, announcers and such.

Done.

Years?

I liked the "you get 5 players to choose from and then you capture your opponents unused players" format. But, maybe a hybrid, like you get 4 players plus one non-player (manager/mascot/season, etc).

as long as someone describes the rules fully for me. :-D

[seawolf17]

Each participant starts with a list of five Met-related personalities; you're matched up against one other participant, bracket-style, and you each have to pick one of those participants and write a song parody about your person.

One combatant opens a poll thread and posts his/her tune; the second post in the thread is held for the opponent. Then we vote; the winner absorbs the loser's unused players (giving them a total of eight to choose from after the first round, for example) and moves on.

I like both of these tenets.

[Edgy MD]

Years is cool too.

[ashie62]

What can Fman do with a Jane Jarvis parody?

[soupcan]

Too late?

I wants in!

[seawolf17]

Never too late!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

bump?

[Guest themetfairy]

I'll reiterate that I'm willing to bow out if the numbers don't work. Only put me in if you really need to fill the spot.

[ashie62]

Is this starting relatively soon?

[Fman99]

Seriously. Rev this shit up, I got all kinds of clever "Lee Mazzilli has semen in his hair" jokes to expunge.

[seawolf17]

This will rev up probably in the second week of November. I got the list from FK, and I'll get the setup/seeding post up next week, once I get through Halloween weekend.

[Guest sharpie]

We're a long way from the second week in November.

[seawolf17]

I was waiting for the Thanksgiving rock thing to be done. It'll be up this weekend.

[HahnSolo]

We can vote even if we're not in it, right?

[Edgy MD]

Absoluteyesly.

[Guest themetfairy]

seawolf - unless you really need me to fill out a bracket, I think I'm out. I'm not feeling very creative lately.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

If I can't do classic rock, I may as well do song parodies. Sign me up!

[Guest themetfairy]

That works out - Willets can have my spot

[Theoldmole]

I think I signed up. If not, sign me up.

[Fman99]

Can we fire up this fucking thing soon, get everyone's minds off this Reyes fiasco please? Throw me a friggin bone here.

You've been assigned Jose Reyes, Fred Wilpon, Art Howe, and Mike Bordick. Enjoy.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I think this years contest may be heavily influenced by the blues.

[Vic Sage]

i only use show tunes.
