For the most thought provoking and opinion producing thread since the start of the season. If you haven't got a headache, go get one here. and spend some time with Richard, my vote for Guru Jr. this week. Of course Madman is over there too! ;-) | |||||
| 27 | Motley Crue ID: 4633167 Wed, Apr 18, 13:33 | Can I change my vote to Tranceformer? His patented "tongue-lashing" technique really cleaned up the riff-raff on these boards, and his AP test scores were really high! Not to mention he knows more about math, statistics, social manipulation, and fantasy sports than Madman, Richard, Sludge, KKB, and even Guru combined. In fact, I think we should rename this the Tranceformer award.... | |||||
| 28 | allhair allstars ID: 455222012 Wed, Apr 18, 13:36 | It's hard to choose when there are so many worth options, but very early on I decided that when the voting started up Madman would be the obvious choice. He's still my pick. | |||||
| 29 | 6-9 With The Afro ID: 193928 Wed, Apr 18, 13:45 | All worthy choices but I'll go with the one who posted the most impactful thread this past week and that's Richard. | |||||
| 30 | Myboyjack ID: 4443038 Wed, Apr 18, 13:49 | Madman | |||||

i vote RSF... although others on here do contribute quite a number of interesting and insightful posts, the concept of Guru is someone who works tireless and thanklesslly every day to make the board a better place..and although those other contributions do add alot to the board, the majority of the time they benefit only a certain proportion of the board public...but everyone uses the spreadsheets...so,who posts the spreadsheets every day? who uses the spreadsheets? who gets no thanks, except the "nod", or the random "rsf, you rock".. so for his tireless work both on the basketball and baseball forums EVERY DAY AND NIGHT, i vote/nominate RSF....its not just dropping stats or pretending you know something..its tedious, hard, thankless, work that only a truly GURUlike person would undertake.... RSF RSF RSF RSF RSF RSF RSF the rest of you are also good, richard with his stats, madman with his humor (quinn for mvp), and the others with their insightful commentary(pink pimp, etc(whoever wants to include themselves..go ahead.......and i can't forget...steve houpt with his nice nice to the point mathematic/scientific writing style... except sludge. you are a bad professor.... thanks to you..i will do my best to prevent any one from attending community college... | |||||

Tranceformer it is for me, yes my nomination is Tranceformer. I haven't seen his type of brilliance and inciteful posts over here in a long time;-) Richard | |||||
| 38 | RecycledSpinalFluid ID: 39446311 Wed, Apr 18, 15:22 |
I don't care for bashing anyone (except X Giants) but why all of a sudden do I have that sinking feeling I'll never see my name with the Guru Jr. tag? :-) | |||||
| 39 | YankeesRule ID: 299302812 Wed, Apr 18, 15:26 | RSF the most underapreciated gurupie. | |||||
| 40 | Ghettofied ID: 222281822 Wed, Apr 18, 15:27 |
Definitely RecycledSpinalFluid. I know that it's very easy for people with basic CSE knowledge to do what he does, but nevertheless, he's the only one who does it. I have no idea why, but hey, different strokes for different folks. Anyways, without a doubt, RSF's "Tonight's Action" posts are by far the most informative posts on the message boards. This is a stupid award, but if people care about it, then put me down for RSF. I just want information and facts...I could care less about other people's opinions. Thanks, RSF, for giving me what I want. As for the rest of you, I just have one thing to say: The blind lemming is the most ignorant of them all, for he calls others lemmings, but can not see that he himself is one. | |||||
| 41 | Twarpy ID: 190521414 Wed, Apr 18, 15:28 | Madman, Quite simple, although don't ever let him make picks for you in a sandbox league;) | |||||

"inciteful" Richard, LOL | |||||
| 43 | pogophiles ID: 3245839 Wed, Apr 18, 15:31 | Madman! | |||||
| 44 | Stuck in the Sixties ID: 313231815 Wed, Apr 18, 15:31 | As someone who contributes faithfully and intelligently in all our forums, Richard is a shoo-in for my vote. | |||||

| 46 | Texas Flood ID: 2110432013 Wed, Apr 18, 15:40 | Madman this week, richard next week. | |||||
| 47 | The Pink Pimp ID: 36423223 Wed, Apr 18, 16:55 | Madman is at the plate this week and Richard is on deck. At least that's what my lineup looks like. | |||||

| 49 | Ref ID: 1442849 Wed, Apr 18, 17:06 | There are at least 10 people to look at, but I'd probably go with Richard for now--though all of the ones that have a lot of votes are among those 10. | |||||
| 50 | Padkee ID: 50962922 Wed, Apr 18, 17:28 | Madman, due to all his efforts listed in previous posts. He was the first to get us to make the jump from basketball to baseball. | |||||

| 53 | Slow Stick ID: 573591818 Wed, Apr 18, 18:59 |
Let's see which Guru do I most appreciate? J for listing me in the Movers and Shakers. RSF for keeping me posted on the standings. Richard for getting the information from SW. and many others that I should mention. But I vote for Madman for making my head hurt trying to follow things like "multiple regression" "obtaining coefficients under standard loss assumptions" "constrain "a" so that it equals the negative of "b"" "Ordinary Least Squares" all in one post. but then again his post and threads are lengthy, technical, informative, full of big words and bigger concepts. (Still cannot get his spreadsheet to work.) Slow Stick | |||||
| 54 | beastiemiked ID: 430122212 Wed, Apr 18, 19:00 | This one is too easy, Madman. Plenty of other worthy candidates but Madman's preseason contributions puts him over the top. | |||||
| 55 | HooeyPooey ID: 50310916 Wed, Apr 18, 20:10 | Madman | |||||

| 57 | billy hill ID: 343481723 Wed, Apr 18, 21:49 |
my vote is for "madman" with J a close for next trip. Tahnks both of you guys. not to in flame but for the record Ghettofied and Tranceformer are affiliated. | |||||
| 58 | blue hen ID: 34937217 Wed, Apr 18, 21:55 |
You guys are greatful for all these people who post the SWPs. Yet, they would not even know the scores if not for me... I vote for Madman. | |||||
| 59 | blockaa ID: 429221821 Wed, Apr 18, 21:57 | Richard and Madman are both deserving, but my vote goes to KKB. | |||||

| 63 | Roo ID: 5405365 Wed, Apr 18, 22:07 | Madman, for the price data and draft analyzer, the pricing analyis,the Pitching Statistics threads and and the "baseball game idea" (though KrazyKoalaBears deserves a huge amount of credit for its implementation). | |||||

| 65 | The Beezer ID: 191202817 Wed, Apr 18, 22:57 | Plenty of worthy candidates, who'll deservedly be wearing the tag sometime this year. This week, I'm picking Madman, because cross-country rules! :) | |||||

I vote for Tranceformer! jk Seriously, my vote goes for Richard. I find myself filtering through the threads for his name all the time, because I want to know what he thinks about everything. He is very helpful. | |||||
