Here is an example of why this contest bothers me to no end. Duck is probably one of if not the best Phillies poster, and he is ranked 31st? And probably won't sniff the final four.

You have to wonder how many really know him on these boards. Not everybody came from E*PN.

I put a couple sullies down on duck. However, he has to face Thome next round. Going back to the ESPN days, it's a tough call. It shall be interesting. There's a lot of money down on Thome, so I suspect a Thome victory next round -- duck should probably have had a better draw, though.

That's why he's ranked 31, he hasn't posted in a long time.

Yup...and youre one of the worst and ranked like third. Terrible eh?

Duck has about 13 posts on this board and hasnt been here for a couple months. What do you want out of it?

what do the seedings matter anyway? If Duck is one of the best, would it matter what number he is? He should win regardless, correct?

But he does post, and I expect him to during the season, which is why like I said that this should be done after the season.

The other problem is, several of these people don't even like the Phillies. I don't even thing Dom considers himself a Phillies fan, Vet hates the Phillies...neither of them post much here. So if dom makes the final four, then it's all just a joke..

I left a message over on E*PN for Duck because I see he's back posting. Here's what it said. I'd appreciate if others would back me up, we need him over here.

Duck...You should really come back to the other board...everybody is over there now. We got Detto, TJD and Dond over there. TJD and Detto joined since the last time you've been there. The board is really taking off. We'd really appreciate if one of the best posters from this board would join us again. I have an idea for a name change for you too that I'll finance. Just let me know. Hope to see you over there.

I think it would be great to get him over here, but at the same time....just give it some time.

Lots of people like the "easier" format over there, but I dont think it will take long before Duck would rather have good baseball conversations.

no, but he'll probably do this again when the season starts, midway through the first half, at the all-star break, midway through the second half, before the playoffs, during the playoffs, after the playoffs, and 12 other times as well.

Late to this discussion, but I want to clarify something:

I do consider myself a Phillies fan. As far as I'm concerned, The Rules apply to all sports.

I don't consider myself a top Phillies poster, as I'm primarily a football guy. Hell, I've only been to two Phillies games in my life (3rd one coming up in April), and they were about 25 years apart. I fell out of touch with the Phils for years when I was living out of the area, and I'm trying to reconnect with that allegiance. Ed Wade makes it tough to do so.

Anyway, I'm ranked highly in this due to my activity on the Eagles board. But I have a slugger's chance of making it deep into the tourney, simply due to the love that everyone has for a jolly fat guy.

I don't consider being ranked 20th ranked high.And I don't think I should have had a first round bye, or had only 9:1 odds. But there you go.

Edit: as a side note, prior to last week I had a total of 146 posts on this board. That's 2.56% of my total. Take that for what it's worth.

Well this contest is for the boards here isn't it? Duck hasn't posted much, although he definitely gets my vote for being one of the greatest posters from the **** boards.
