Vote for the ArmchairGM.com All-Stars!!!

19
Vote

by user Manny Stiles

Every year, people wait until a few days before the midsummer classic to bitch and moan about what's wronjg with it and baseball in general. Of course it's baseball's own fault, making the exhibition of it's teams and players "mean something this time"... Everyone knows that the league with the best record in interleague play SHOULD host the Series (AL this year...).

But let other people re-hash that tired subject all week, I'll just watch the game and smile.

I am issuing a special challenge!!!!


What I am trying to figure out is "Who are the ArmchairGM.com All-Stars???"

I want everyone to come up with a concensus 'starting nine' writers. If you can nominate the writer and their strength or sport of expertise, that would be awesome.

Example: "Patrickburke1980 - Maria Sharapova pictures

Don't just vote guys because you like them, vote because you like their work - whether you agree with them or not is irrelevant...

I'm relatively new here as #694 in registry (but #1 in your hearts and #33 in your 'rankings') and I want to know from the people who enjoy the postings - Who are your All-Stars???

Now feel free to nominate anyone you want - just not yourself - even go on anonymously to cast votes and hide your man crushes if you want...just don't nominate yourself. (and DON'T vote for me, I'm more 'Rookie of the Year' material unless I go fully Joe Charboneau on y'all - note: I can open beer bottles with my eye sockets)

Then when we finally figure out the top couple of writers, we'll come up with a way to whittle them down later. I'll arrange a prize/exciting challenge (hopefully I can pull this off) for them that will be enjoyed by all and hopefully beneficial to the site...but Top Writers will be ready for this challenge...

details to be released at another time...I don't want to sway the vote with my ground-breaking concept or e-mail me if you want to help me pull of a scheme that might get ArmchairGM a little positive pub and be a good time for all of us!!!

Thanks for your efforts, vote HONESTLY as MANNY times as you want, but NOT FOR YOURSELF!!! (or me, but go ahead feel free to 'minus' me every time I add comments)

Once the names are posted in comments, just vote '+' for the comment, that way it doesn't get too junked up --- try to keep them one name per comment I vote for DNL - it's his fault for getting me in here (don't hate him for it)

Look at my user page. See that photo. That appeared on the front page of the Philly Inky, after the Eagles lost to CAR in the NFC Championship game. That was then 20 years of frustration showing. I hate that photo. However, only Philadelphis sports fans, who have suffered along with me, can rip these pathetic teams. An outsider doing the same will have the pitbulls sent out.

What exactly is your idea? Are we nominating people whose artilces we like reading? And once we nominate them, how will you keep track of votes? And once we vote for them, what exactly are you going to do? sorry, im only asking becayse this idea may be a good one, but as of nwo there is a little organization and i dont understand what you want to accomplish. can you please explain the procedure better and then maybe i can help you organize it well.

e-mail me at mannystiles@aol.com for specific details... I wanna keep it a secret from the public - I just want to find a clearcut top 5 or so writers that demonstrate the best ArmchairGM has to offer... then I'll try my damndest to have a worthy reward for them - thus the secrecy... it's a good idea, you'll see - I would like it to end up as one baseball guy, one football guy, one basketball guy, one hockey guy, one 'other' sports guy OR girl (is there ANY female writers here??)...

we'll get the quality nominees figured out here, then do an official, final vote once the nominees are settled - it's not a popularity contest, I just want to reward the best writers of ArmchairGM.com...

See this is stupid, there is no organization. We need to break it down into categories. e.g. 1) Writing Ability, 2) Best Videos 3) Best Pictures 4) Best Comments, etc.. and then nominate a person into a category. e.g. I nominate Wrightsmyboy into the Best Pictures category...

It's amazing how everything posted on this site has the potential to turn into something more complicated than butterfly ballots in Flordia. I think I just accidently voted for Duran Duran.

Son of a Sports Guy, There is a New Moon on Monday! - It's ALL my fault

- A. I am too hyper to slow down enough to make myself clear and logical at times

-B. Because the 'prize' is secretive I can't devulge too much info and - D. I always skip through things too fast

Let me sum it up like this... SOMEONE (Not me) needs to do the whole voting for best categories, etc as suggested by Roblefko


I just wanted to find the best writers who represent the best of what ArmchairGM.com represents and honor them with appropriate acknowledgement

Although, even through all this mess there are clear cut nominees already: DNL, Steaksammich, BBall3345, Alex Whatshisname, JuTMYS4, Roblefko and i am cpcp for nominating Duran Duran (the band or the villain of James Bond fame?) somebody run it through the Voting committee and get me a top 4
