The order of this list is not an AP Top 25 poll.
And this list isn't to belittle Josey,either.

I'm honored.
I probably equate to a mop up reliever and I expect to be on the DMN shuttle by midnight.

Umm...
I find it hard to believe that t ball, Cahill, ab03, and I’m sure I’m forgetting a couple others, couldn’t make that list.

Yeah there are some revisions to be made
And some more structure like a 40 man and some roles would be needed to make it really entertaining.
Got to start somewhere though i guess.
the preceding post was a great success.
This is the start of Fall Training...
Opening Day doesn’t start until February.
Of course there’s revisions to be made. :)

Though it is somewhat ironic that the people who don’t freak out about NRIs will end up as them.

Well I've decided it is the AP top 25 poll. For no particular reason =p
the preceding post was a great success.
It seems like this list
is very anti-GDT

Are you sure
Thedirkatron hasn’t been traded to another blog?

I heart Firebat
he could fly off the handle like no one else
and was at least generally level headed about it
Feliz says his greatest thrill was striking out Boston Red Sox DH David Ortiz, one of his heroes. Yet, when he called to tell his parents, his mother had a request: Strike out New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, too.
"So when I did that," Feliz says, "I told my mom, 'There you go. There's your present. Don't ask me to strike anyone else out, OK?'
Clearly

Is this list based on comments or posts
or a combination of both? Because there’s some dead-weight on that list.

If AJM is on the top 25
who is the coaching staff?
I would imagine Jamey Newberg/Evan Grant/Jason Parks to be the “PR/Media Relations Department” if you will.
So on, so forth.

Since I am a newb to the blog
can someone please explain to me how they decide who makes the 25/40 man?
This is just a prelim.
This idea was brought up in August when Jennings was released.
I figured I would get it kick started.

You should do
end of the season awards too: MVP, ROY, etc; and maybe some specialty awards like Most Sanctimonious, Most Valuable Heel, and so on.

its a great idea
we’re gonna need someone to seriously step up to do this right though

I'm honored, but here are some names off the top of my head that I stop down to read that are excluded
Cahill, Requiem, and cstorm.
Parks and Cole are great, but very infrequent contributors.
philkid is also a good contributor with his own slant on things.
And should I be worried about thedirkatron? I can only imagine that something bad must have happened for him to completely desert this place.

oh and JBImaknee, forgot about him
He’s brings quality HSOs.

So I have to admit
that I looked up HSO on this site

I’m assuming that in this case, HSO means “Homeostatic Soil Organism” in my case?

"You can probably stick a fork in the Rangers' playoff chances for 2009." - AJM on 7/26 with the team 4.5 games out
I've always disliked him
But even I have to admit that he improves every year. He hasn’t been quite the pickoff machine that his entire career suggests he is so far this year, and if he can keep that up, the Giants are going to be nearly unstoppable. They’ve already demonstrated that they own the East, but if Eli has a monster year, I think they’re my pick for NFC representation. I do need to see some ass-kicking against better competition though. NYG have probably the easiest schedule in the NFL.
Believe me...
It took me a long time to come around on Eli. I wanted no part of him @ draft time. It took me a while before I was comfortable with him being the QB. I’m still not thrilled with his extension, but he seems to be maturing and progressing nicely at this point.
Our schedule is absolutely ridiculous… Wash/TB/KC/Oak.. that’s as bad as it gets without including the Rams.
The schedule after Oakland will not be fun though.
I don't think
Arizona, Philly, and San Diego are anything more than slightly above average. I’m not entirely sold on Denver, either.
How in the world did I make the list?
No way am I more qualified than some of the ones that were left off the list.

we need to do a 40 day community poll, as they are ever so popular.

Well, there is always
Adam’s top 50 Rangers of all time. I’m eagerly awaiting the Sammy Sosa entry.

That is probably why Adam stopped
Statistically, he learned it could be shown that Sosa was definitively the 36th Best Ranger Ever; and he couldn’t bring himself to write that.
Go Rice Owls!
