santo=dorf Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 (edited) No "most likely to get flamed" award? Post of the year? Thread of the year? Edited January 23, 2007 by santo=dorf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I hate to be a critic, but why are there two awards for political views, and one for baseball views? I mean, afterall, this IS a White Sox message board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I want to point something out...if you got new ideas for awards throw them out there. I know we plan on rolling out some more to this list and if you come up with a cool idea we'll definitely add it (afterall, I think by now you've realized that we run this board with the idea of making all the members happy so if you every have suggestions you should all know by now to throw em out, whether on the board or via PM).

witesoxfan Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Ozzie Award (best in-game analyst) KW Award (best arm chair GM) Hawk Award (biggest Sox homer) Half-empty Award (most pessimistic Sox fan) Half-full Award (most optimistic Sox fan) Padilla/Merkin/Rogers/Cowley Award (best Soxtalk writer) others could be thought of too, cuz those were just off the top of my head.

Hey, one year I was on both lists Personal opinion, while I will proudly wear a liberal title, I would not wear a Hugo Chavez title. Frankly I'm a little disappointed at that description.

I move that we rename the political awards Ronald Reagan for Conservatives and JFK for Liberals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There you go again, trying to rename everything for Reagan. Weren't they Reagan/JFK in the past? Perhaps, ah, it'd be better to rename them for a different Conservative/Liberal.

BHAMBARONS Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 How about the Minor league correspondent. Have good person in mind for that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
