Please assign me the two Mets/MFY tilts, once again, I feel my unique brand of venom and jokes about penises are best suited for that particular rivalry.

Mets – Willets Point Apr 01 2013 01:13 PM Re: KTE assignments

Give me the White Sox series.

Gwreck Apr 01 2013 01:15 PM Re: KTE assignments

I'll do the Dodgers and Royals.

Edgy MD Apr 01 2013 01:15 PM Re: KTE assignments

I'll take the Rockfish and Reds.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 01 2013 01:33 PM Re: KTE assignments

I'll go Phils and Gigantes.

Edgy MD Apr 01 2013 01:44 PM Re: KTE assignments

Roxxx.

TransMonk Apr 01 2013 03:07 PM Re: KTE assignments

I've monopolized the Brewers for several years, so if anyone else wants them... Otherwise, I'll take the Brewers and the Twinkies.

Swan Swan H Apr 01 2013 04:03 PM Re: KTE assignments

I'll do the Braves. I have a bit of time to sort out which Upton is which.

Mets Guy in Michigan Apr 01 2013 04:58 PM Re: KTE assignments

I can take the Marlins series in May. I'm planning a trip down there that month.

If you want the series beginning on 5/31 why don't you also do the one at CF the very next week (follow-up KTEs are quick and easy). If you do those two I'll take the remaining four Marlins series starting with the one this weekend.

I'll be spending most of my research time on Kate.

Fman99 Apr 01 2013 06:29 PM Re: KTE assignments

Well apparently we're only playing the MFY four times this year and they're all in a row. That will basically be written as a single KTE despite the fact that there are two games in Queens and then two in the Boogie Down. So, please also give me Washington (4/19) and Pittsburgh (7/12).

TheOldMole Apr 02 2013 06:55 AM Re: KTE assignments

Give me an assignment.

Frayed Knot Apr 02 2013 07:07 AM Re: KTE assignments

TheOldMole wrote: Give me an assignment. Easiest way is to just look at the chart up top to see which ones are still unclaimed and pick one or two or three depending on how ambitious you're feeling. Otherwise you might get assigned one during a time when you'll be on vacation or something and then we'll be forced to go into a series absent knowledge and who knows what disasters that could cause.

MFS62 Apr 02 2013 07:30 AM Re: KTE assignments

The 50th Anniversary National League Champs are a team I don't mention by name. So I'll pass on my historic KTE for this year. Later

G-Fafif Apr 02 2013 07:32 AM Re: KTE assignments

I'm in for stupid Cubs.

Ceetar Apr 02 2013 02:35 PM Re: KTE assignments

I'll do one. feel free to pick for me.

Snake me up.

Chad Ochoseis Apr 03 2013 08:19 AM Re: KTE assignments

Most of the Nats series are still open. I think bmfc usually likes to do the Nats.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 03 2013 09:04 AM Re: KTE assignments

That's part of why I went Phils over Nats-- I wanted to do one of the two.

Edgy MD Apr 03 2013 11:10 AM Re: KTE assignments

I'll preview the Orioles when we get to the World Series.

I'll take a Nat series. I still read The Post.

Edgy MD May 29 2013 09:53 AM Re: KTE assignments

What's up with the Yankees since the last time we saw them? I think we need a new KTE. You know, to catch up.

Edgy MD May 29 2013 03:26 PM Re: KTE assignments

Take it reeeal easy. And when you think it's out of your system, continue to take it reeeeall easy. Shingles is something you and your family will have to go through together.

Edgy MD Jun 24 2013 03:12 PM Re: KTE assignments

Willet's Point, how 'bout them Sox?

Edgy MD Jun 28 2013 11:12 AM Re: KTE assignments

Good news. The Nats don't have a sponsor for this series. Your redemption is at hand.

Mets – Willets Point Jul 01 2013 09:23 AM Re: KTE assignments

You have greater faith in me than any evidence supports. Sadly, I was traveling this weekend, but even then I think I've been so distracted from baseball I need a Know Thy Heroes to know who is playing on the Mets.

Frayed Knot Jul 31 2013 05:01 PM Re: KTE assignments

We're going to need someone here to step up and give us notes on the upcoming Kansas City enemy cuz they're currently on a seven game winning streak.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 31 2013 10:18 PM Re: KTE assignments

Didn't someone ask for it way back when? OE: GWreck. Way up near the top o' the thread.

Gwreck Jul 31 2013 11:23 PM Re: KTE assignments

Got it covered

Frayed Knot Aug 01 2013 07:29 AM Re: KTE assignments

Good deal. Shame on me for just glancing at the grid and not reading the whole thread. I didn't even realize until just a few days ago that we were playing the Royals at all. Then, by yesterday I was thinking: 'Hey, not only have these guys won seven (now eight) straight but I don't know shit about them!'

Chad Ochoseis Sep 06 2013 06:11 AM Re: KTE assignments

IOU a Native American KTE. I'll try to get to it tonight.

themetfairy Sep 06 2013 06:39 AM Re: KTE assignments

Try? There's no trying in baseball!!!!

Edgy MD Sep 06 2013 07:32 AM Re: KTE assignments

Cue the Cleveland tourism video.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 17 2013 04:33 PM Re: KTE assignments

Oh, dammit.

TransMonk Sep 25 2013 01:34 PM Re: KTE assignments

Damn, damn, damn. I just spent a couple hours putting together a KTE for this last series against the Brewers, but didn't save the Word file after copying and pasting into the preview on the CPF. I then of course accidentally closed the browser window before submitting the post. GRRRR. Sorry guys. The gist was not really about the Brewers team of today, but rather a tie-in to the Piazza HOF induction and how he had tons of success against Milwaukee as a Met. Yea, Piazza! Boo, Brewers! Boo, TransMonk.

TransMonk Sep 26 2013 11:21 AM Re: KTE assignments

Carlos Gomez starts a fight.

Mets – Willets Point Sep 27 2013 11:27 AM Re: KTE assignments

Maybe we can do a Postseason Participant Profile series to prepare to watch the playoffs? I know I usually suck at doing these things, but I could probably throw something up for the Red Sox this weekend. If anyone who did a KTE for the other playoff contenders wants to update them that would be cool too.

I'll take a team (doesn't really matter which) if we can get enough participation for someone to take others. We'll need ten - or we can wait until the WC play-in games are done and just do the final eight. Skipping the one-game series will also give you, me, and whoever a few extra days to come up with something. Maybe you should compose a fresh thread (while this one gets un-stickied and is allowed to die) in order to get your idea more notice.

d'Kong76 Sep 29 2013 01:32 PM Re: KTE assignments

If we do it, I'll do the Pirates. My new favorite team.
