    OH Awards

    This might be one of my cheesiest ideas, but has anyone ever thought about coming up with Annual OH Awards. I'm not talking about OH votes for Oriole players. I'm talking about OH recognizing OH posters. Winners could be chosen by the mods or voted upon (I prefer chosen by mods). It might be a decent way to drive traffic during the slow parts of the offseasion. I admit, the categories could use some help. Here are a few categories.

    1. Most popular poster - based on rep, over the year.
    2. Most active - # posts over the year
    3. Orange KoolAid award for Most Optimistic poster - QBIllest
    4. Best draft coverage - could be based on scouting, tracking picks, whatever
    5. Most pessimistic
    6. Most reasonable
    7. Best stats expert
    8. Best rules expert
    9. Best Minor League Coverage
    10. Best trade predictor
    11. Best prediction
    12. Most unreasonable
    13. Most combative
    14. Most likely to tailgate before an Orioles game
    15. Most likely to choose the O's over his wife
    16. Most effort - thinking of people like CrazySilver, who aggregate a lot of information like the 40-man roster
    17. Best visiting poster - fan of other teams, agents, whatever

    Tony could start threads and ask for nominations, then announce the winners.

    1. Most popular poster - Frobby rolls up rep points faster than Tommy the pinball wizard makes the digit counters fall.

    2. Most active - name the award after Sports Guy and retire it.


    3. Orange KoolAid award for Most Optimistic poster - jtrea before Teixeira went to the Yankees

    5. Most pessimistic - jtrea after Teixeira went to the Yankees

    I'd probably win for most reactionary. See any Gary Williams thread after a bad MD loss for examples aplenty.

    A legend in his own time.
    Not many people can say that, but Weams sure can. (Not that he would, be he could...)

    I guess I could get nominated for most pessimistic...but I'd like it to be changed to "most realistic".

    Come on, Most Optimistic has to be Cindy for her undying devotion to every Orioles major and minor leaguer.
