We had a more bullets flying this month than a Sam Peckinpah film, leaving us with 35 nominees. That's too much to sort through as a voter, but if Highlander has taught me anything, there can only be one. So I'm dividing these guys into five threads of seven. Anybody who garners a vote will advance. Please vote for the coolest bullet below. # Date Nominee Nominator Context Link 1 1/5/2010 Benjamin Grimm LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr On Matthew Broderick getting a "divorce." http://cranepoolforum.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1&p=320838#p320838 He's probably kidding. And if he ever does get a divorce, I'm sure it will be so that he can marry Nathan Lane. # Date Nominee Nominator Context Link 2 1/6/2010 Edgy DC MFS62 On the "much mourned" Shea Stadium. http://cranepoolforum.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1&p=320982#p320982 The problem is that, while she's certainly much mourned in my heart, I'd hear those words coming out of fans' mouths regarding Shea as well, or I'd read them online every day. I think the columnists are going to play to the Met fan's inner grouch by treating Shea more or less like they treated Darryl Strawberry --- little good to say about him while he was here, much to lament about him when he left. # Date Nominee Nominator Context Link 3 1/6/2010 G-Fafif LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr On Roger Clemens choosing the hat on his assumed plaque. http://cranepoolforum.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1&p=321063#p321063 [quote="Frayed Knot"]but even then he wanted to call all the shots. Isn't that what Brian McNamee claims?

Leno sucks like a girlfriend trying for an upgrade to fiancee.

[quote="John Cougar Lunchbucket"]Evans. What is his deal?

I know! I mean, they bring you this little bag of Nick Evans on the plane like they're doing you some kind of favor, and there's hardly any Nick Evans in there! I once asked for another bag of Nick Evans, and the stewardess told me I was out of luck -- only one bag of Nick Evans per passenger.

I mean, what is his deal?

[quote="seawolf17"]That's a great play by Ray Knight. I actually expected McCarver to refer to it as "Jeter-like," though.

Knight had learned that play from watching film of the 12 y/o Jeter.

What do you think batting gloves are made of? Dominican urine --- duh!

Many worthy candidates. But that Jeter line still cracks me up.

Valadius Feb 06 2010 04:06 PM Re: Bullets of January I: Don Zimmer Division

OK, I've kept my trap shut for a good long while, but I can't take it anymore. 1. How the fuck do you nominate for these? 2. Hello? Over here?

Frayed Knot Feb 06 2010 05:32 PM Re: Bullets of January I: Don Zimmer Division

There's an exclamation point towards the bottom-right of each post. Essentially it's put there by the folks who invent the system to "report" a post to the admins: ie, tell on someone for using bad language, mean insults, etc. But since we don't have any rules here we use it to nominate 'bullet of cool' posts. Just click on that icon and mention BOC in the menu that comes up as the reason why you're reporting that particular post.
