Race for the Race for the Lid

[JackAstro]

I believe I'm all caught up on absolutely everything that I've missed, including (critically) the remaining possible winners in this year's Race for the Lid. Starting right now, literally this very moment, you can make your pick of the correct winner for a chance to receive an authentic digital image of Tony Eusebio delivered to you via this website. The window for entries closes at an arbitrary time in the future that I have yet to determine. Your options:

• 98 - Jacksonian
• 99 - The Spleen
• 100 - duman
• 101 - drew corleone
• 102 - blownranger

Good luck to everyone.

[bubba]

I am rooting for blownranger.

[homer]

9.  Game 1 of the 2017 season will not be included in the win total (in other words, the pick is based on games 2-162.)

[Bench]

You might not be caught up on all the fine print but technically Duke is still in play and blownranger has been eliminated.

Guys. I know that in your hearts you believe you're coming from a good place, but I can't possibly be expected to care about details like this. Let's keep our eyes on the prize here, which in this case is a very handsome digital rendering of Tony Eusebio. There are 162 games in a baseball season, let's get out there and do great things with them. [several minutes of sustained clapping]

Or as a wise man said with a finger-wag, "And take back one W, to honor the goddess whose contest this is."

[Duke]

Thanks Bench.  Here's hoping I'm 4 games off the final number.

[Astros Fan in Big D]

 All my pictures of Tony Eusebio are analog.

Thanks, and just so no one calls me bitchy, he can do whatever he wants.    I'll just lay back and enjoy it.

When did it stop being a Derek Bell Topps Card?

[JackAstro]

When did it stop being a Derek Bell Topps Card?

When I liquidated most of my earthly possessions to pay off the crippling debt amassed through years of purchasing collectible figurines from QVC, thanks for reopening old wounds.

So far I have bubba down for blownranger at 102, which may or may not actually be 101 or possibly 103.

[Fredia]

I actually held the derick bell card then sent it on to the next winner. it was an honor

[JimR]

100

I've got to know.  How much does one get for a Derek Bell card in a fire sale?

[VirtualBob]

100

Yeah. I'll back duman too.

[BlownRanger]

And I was so excited there for a minute.

What does budgirl have against Opening Day?

[Bench]

And I was so excited there for a minute.

What does budgirl have against Opening Day?

What do the swallows have against Laguna Niguel?

[BudGirl]

What does budgirl have against Opening Day?

Nothing.  I didn't count opening day because the picks did not start until after Game 1.     I get to make the rules for what I'm willing to spend my money.  I'm willing to give over the Race for the Lid since some seem to have issues with my rules.  But I know how people are willing to step up and help organize things on this board.

Easy. Folks are teasing.

[BudGirl]

That's the perfect thing to say to not piss off a woman.

[Waldo]

Can multiple people pick the same winner?  If so, would said authentic digital image of Tony Eusebio have to be split among the winners?  Would that be like how images used to load progressively back in the dialup days, where you can see the whole thing but you can't really see anything?

[BizidyDizidy]

That's the perfect thing to say to not piss off a woman.

Also, try to smile more.

[homer]

Also, try to smile more.

And don't feel that way.

[BudGirl]

Come on, there's another one that is obvious that you haven't shared yet.

[das]

And, "huh, what did you say?"

[das]

Come on, there's another one that is obvious that you haven't shared yet.

Stop being so emotional, Leslie.

[BudGirl]

Stop being so emotional, Leslie.

Nope, that's still not it.  That's closer to Jim's.

[JimR]

Nope, that's still not it.  That's closer to Jim's.

Seriously?

I am STFU.

[Bench]

Stop being so emotional, Leslie.

Just calm down.

[TeeJoe]

Come on, there's another one that is obvious that you haven't shared yet.

That time of month?

[BudGirl]

That time of month?

very close but not there yet.

[BatGirl]

just put on your big girl panties?

[homer]

Relax

[das]

Shut up. Not in the girls on a GNO discussing an incredible sale at Saks kind of way either.

[Fredia]

everyone knows bg is one of the strongest voices on this site no questions asked and definitely i speak (as a very minor player ) the strongest female on this site.

[Andyzipp]

Stop being menstrual.

[Ebby Calvin]

Relax

This has to be it.

[BudGirl]

This has to be it.

Is that the one that gets you in the most trouble?

[Ty in Tampa]

You're being unreasonable.

[Ebby Calvin]

Is that the one that gets you in the most trouble?

I don't think I've uttered that word in any context in over 10 years.  Just too much pain associated with it.

[Astros Fan in Big D]

Chill out.

[Duman]

... he can do whatever he wants.    I'll just lay back and enjoy it.

Those are the words many of us have dreamed of hearing from a woman.

Calm your tits, Toots. The men are talking.


ETA -- eh, just kidding, in case it's not obvious.

[Ty in Tampa]

BOTN!
