CPF Parody Classic - 2006

Centerfield Oct 31 2006 01:46 PM

Is there enough interest to do this again? Last year Yancy hustled us all with his "Gee whiz, I don't know what I'm doing" routine. I doubt he catches anyone napping this time around.

Benjamin Grimm Oct 31 2006 01:47 PM

Gee whiz, I don't know what I'm doing...

Johnny Dickshot Oct 31 2006 01:49 PM

In!

sharpie Oct 31 2006 01:54 PM

In. Other than the elections, the only interesting thing going on in November.

Valadius Oct 31 2006 01:55 PM

I think tradition is that Centerfield starts it.

What's involved in "starting it"? I thought Edgy did the seeding and collected the numbers from everyone. Or does starting it just mean initiating this thread that we're in?

I have an awful lot going on in the remainder of the year, so I think it is best that I not participate this year. Hopefully, I'll be able to once again take part in 2007.

Not this year......I've sort of drifted away from the forum. I take that back. If you're willing to risk a forfeit if I can't come up with something, I'm in. The whole reason I started hanging out here in the first place was the parody contest.

MFS62 Nov 02 2006 09:05 AM

I don't know what y'all think, but to me "Pedro Is the Guy Dwarves Climb On" is the cleverest song title ever. Anywhere. Still mulling Later

Valadius Nov 02 2006 09:29 AM

I agree with MFS. That was the song of the tournament.

Edgy DC Nov 02 2006 09:32 AM

Picture yourself in Manoguayabo Beneath mango trees and Dominican skies. Baseball scout calls you, you answer quite slowly, A man with binocular eyes Roofs of bright Kevlar and Monsters of Green Stretching out over your head Brought joy to fans who had Curse on their minds Then you're gone Pedro is the guy dwarves climb on Pedro is the guy dwarves climb on Pedro is the guy dwarves climb on, ah, ah You'll clown around when the field is a fountain While Mezzanine people eat hot dogs and fries. Watch as you smile as men cover the scoreboard A tarp so incredibly high Omar Minaya appeared at your home Planning to take you away You signed a contract as the Mets made a splash And you're here. Pedro is the guy dwarves climb on Pedro is the guy dwarves climb on Pedro is the guy dwarves climb on, ah, ah Picture yourself in a ballpark in Flushing With home run red apples and airplane filled skies, Your presence draws the great crowds to the turnstiles The fans with the pennant race eyes Pedro is the guy dwarves climb on Pedro is the guy dwarves climb on Pedro is the guy dwarves climb on, ah, ah

"Dock Is So High On the Diamond" or something like that.

Edgy DC Nov 02 2006 11:02 AM

Picture him now on the mound at Three Rivers With 2 guys on base and threatening skies The umpire calls him and he answers quite slowly He’s the guy with 2 pinwheels for eyes With the sweat soaking through his yellow and black He wipes his brow and looks in for a sign He stares like a guy with the sun in his eyes And he's gone Dock Ellis is high on the diamond Dock Ellis is high on the diamond Dock Ellis is high on the diamond Aaaahhhhhh..... He goes into the dugout, takes a sip at the fountain He got out of the inning to his great surprise His teammates all grin as he drifts past them, smiling He is so incredibly high Newspaper writers appear at his stall Happy to drive him away They tear at him, frenzied, there's blood in the water He’s gone.... Dock Ellis is high on the diamond Dock Ellis is high on the diamond Dock Ellis is high on the diamond Aaaahhhhhh..... Picture the man on a train leaving Pittsburgh With plastic specimen cups packed in with the ties Suddenly someone is there by the turnstile But the cop with the dog lets him by Dock Ellis was high on the diamond Dock Ellis was high on the diamond Dock Ellis was high on the diamond Aaaahhhhhh.....

Rogers CF Lundy OlerudOwned Sorry that MSF62 and Yancy and SwitchHitter won't be in it. Their songs were really good.

Going forward without a defending champion doesn't seem right.

Johnny Dickshot Nov 08 2006 12:52 PM

We could strip him of his title and declare Sharpie the defender

Benjamin Grimm Nov 08 2006 12:53 PM

If you want to delay starting until the second week of December I may reconsider.

Edgy DC Nov 08 2006 12:53 PM

I think the technical defender would be the winner from the 2004-2005 offseason.

sharpie Nov 08 2006 01:22 PM

Waiting til second week of December would be tough only because it lasts a while and no one would want to do it over Christmas. Waiting til January would be an option I suppose. I don't see what function the defending champion plays in this anyway, other than being ranked #1.

Benjamin Grimm Nov 08 2006 01:24 PM

I agree. I think the show can go on without me. I guess it's fun for someone to topple the defending champion, but it's just as much fun to topple the number 1 seed.

Willets Point Nov 08 2006 02:15 PM

Let's wait until January. I'm totally interested in doing this right now.

sharpie Nov 08 2006 02:26 PM

There's a "not" missing from Willets' post. Just not sure which sentence it is in. It could be "Let's not wait until January. I'm totally interested in doing this right now" or "Let's wait until January. I'm totally not interested in doing this right now."

Benjamin Grimm Nov 08 2006 02:42 PM

I read it the second way. I guess I subconsciously assumed that the second sentence would reinforce the first, so I gave more weight to the first sentence.

Meant no disrespect, Doc. I would also miss Vic Sage and Scarlett Knight in addition to you. It's just that MFS62 and Yancy had bowed out after I posted the initial list of who was in or out.

Thanks sharpie.

Nymr83 Nov 14 2006 12:23 PM

i think if the defending champ would do it in january but not now it should be january, it would suck if he couldnt defend his title. i also think we'll have less to talk about then since most Free Agents will have found a home and trades will have been made.

Benjamin Grimm Nov 14 2006 12:41 PM

I'm not saying that you guys have to wait for me. My nose won't be at all out of joint if you kicked it off next week. But if my participation matters to anyone, then yes, I will do it if we start after I return from Japan.

sharpie Nov 14 2006 12:47 PM

With KC, Yancy, Willets and Nymr all advocating for January, I will throw my runner-up vote that way as well.

Edgy DC Nov 14 2006 12:52 PM

Done, we'll kick her off on 1/2. I'll put together a bracket, update the ranking list, and hand out assignments. We usually open with Cooby sending me a scrambling number between 1 and 500.

I'm going to get back on the fence. If this is going on in January, I won't be in the middle of the end-of-semester madness. Put me on the roster, but if there are space concerns I'll be happy to bow out.

OK, Edgy, you slick talker. You talked me into it. I'm in, but my weird schedule over the next few weeks could make starting a contest dicey. Won't the odd number of entrants mess up the brackets? I'll still pass if it will. But, here are my numbers just in case: 2,6,18,24,39 Later

Edgy DC Jan 03 2007 07:17 AM

If he's in, that means Lundy and Valadius have to join the play-in round, and we'll need a sixth number from each of them.

Willets Point Jan 03 2007 08:42 AM

MFS62 can have my spot.

Edgy DC Jan 03 2007 08:56 AM

Oh, blue. OK, Lundy and Val won't be in the play-in round. Willets, as non-participating observer, will you PM me a single number from one to 500?

wouldn't it be funny if willets PM'ed edgy a number like 40, and '62 ended up with mets so lowly ranked that they only played in a total of 37 games! that would be so cool. granted, if willets PM'ed edgy a number in the high 400's, then '62 is in great shape.

MFS62 Jan 03 2007 07:17 PM

No big thing. I picked numbers significant to me (birth dates of family members, etc.). I'll take whatever players those represent - stars or scrubs. Later

Gwreck Jan 03 2007 07:40 PM

Hey, uh...somehow my head was in the sand on this one. I'd like to be "in" (as long as it doesn't f-up the bracket, etc). 30, 31, 50, 130, 250, 300 Please disgregard this post if I missed the cut-off.

Will you be checking e-mail or something?

metsmarathon Jan 03 2007 10:43 PM

yup. (email addy has been updated in my profile) but i still think it would be much more fun if you would wake up super early and do some parody-work just so's it suits my vacation/marathon schedule. maybe that makes me self-important. email is good too.

Edgy DC Jan 04 2007 08:03 AM

OK, here''s where we stand. I need another number from holy chicken. OO already has 121. If he doesn't log back on, I'll give him 125. Anybody else want to write to Valad the Impaler? If we don't hear from him this morning, we'll give his slot to Gwreck. If he does show, and we want to include Gwreck, then we'll need another number from Lundy, who'll fall into the play-in round.

Edgy DC Jan 04 2007 08:18 AM

SteveJ, Lundy also beat you to 208.

sharpie Jan 04 2007 08:30 AM

Next time there should be a rule that if people pick the same number, the later picker just gets assigned the next number rather than chasing people down for stray numbers. Also, Valadius hasn't posted since November. Hope he's okay.

Edgy DC Jan 04 2007 08:40 AM

Yeah, I don't hear frrom them by noon, that is the rule. And Gwreck knocks Valad to the sidelines.

Edgy DC Jan 04 2007 09:10 AM

Gwreck, if you want in, 250 has been taken. I'm assinging you 251 unless you come up with another. I'm slotting him in as the bottom seed which means Olerud Owned doesn't have to suffer the play-in round. I deleted his last number All the assignments are in place. I'll give the ones who need corrections until 12 (Eastern) and then post the players.

Edgy DC Jan 04 2007 10:06 AM

OK, it's blood time. Opening round matchups are Nymr83/Gwreck and soupcan/Transmonk. Four or five good hands here. Sharpie, MFS, certainly.

The worst part about my draw is that I had Mike Dejean last year. . . so now I have to come up with 2 songs for Dejean. . . wonderful. Is it illegal to reuse songs from year to year?

Edgy DC Jan 04 2007 10:19 AM

In some states.

I just called my lawyer and he said NY is one of those states. . .STUPID PINKO-COMMIE NY!!!

Edgy DC Jan 04 2007 10:38 AM

Our brackets right now are: Nymr83/Gwreck soupcan/Transmonk I don't have time to do graphics right now. When those two are done, you'll be facing 13th seeded Lundy. Don Rowe is a 1963 Met and his 54 innings then was his only big-league experience until he returned in 1990 as the pitching coach for the Milwaukee Brewers. he passed away in 2005 after suffereing from Parkinsons Syndrome "Parkinsons" is a tough rhyme. "Sparklin' guns"? Nah.

Gwreck Jan 04 2007 10:43 AM

What's the timing on this sort of thing? (read: When do I need to have mine done by?) And who posts first? The lower seed? Higher seed?

Edgy DC Jan 04 2007 10:46 AM

Usually we post back and forth with agreements. "When will you be ready, Opponent?" "Noon tomorrow." "OK, I should be cool with that." "See you tomorrow." "Dude, I'm totally not ready." "Well, I honestly don't want to post mine either." "Will you assholes hurry up!?"

TransMonk Jan 04 2007 10:50 AM

Wow, the pressure of holding the top card...the strategy may be when I should play it. Edgy: I'm assuming I have Carlos Baerga? (I did actually check to see if a Carlos Berga ever played for the team...nothing between Bruce Berenyi and Dwight Bernard). Great job setting this up, BTW.

Edgy DC Jan 04 2007 10:52 AM

Yes, it's Baerga. Although "Carlos B'erga" may be a an easier scansion fit.

Don's passing is noted in our archives. As a player or coach, always in the game Huntington Beach resident struck out Ted Williams in '57 and threw Hank Aaron's 299th home-run pitch. By ROBIN HINCH The Orange County Register Don Rowe Don Rowe Born: April 3, 1935, Brawley Died: Oct. 15, 2005, Newport Beach Survivors: Wife, Marilyn; daughter, Katie; sister, Susie; brother, Peter; granddaughter, Kelly Memorial service: 1 p.m. Nov. 13, Hilton Waterfront Resort, Huntington Beach. Arrangements by Neptune Society of Orange County, Costa Mesa. Donations: Don Rowe Memorial Scholarship Fund, Golden West Foundation, Golden West College, 15744 Golden West St., Huntington Beach, CA 92647 With a career like Don Rowe's, who needs hobbies? A college football and baseball coach who also pitched batting practice for the Dodgers and Angels, he made his living doing what many men yearn to do for sport. When he was playing or coaching baseball, football was his hobby. When he was playing or coaching football, he trained pro baseball players who were home for the winter. And if it hadn't been for the Parkinson's disease that slowed him down the last four years, he'd no doubt be on one field or another today. He was 70 when he died Oct. 15. Don was 11 when, while growing up in Vallejo, a neighbor took him to an Oakland Oaks baseball game. He came home and asked for a ball and glove. When he was in eighth grade, the family moved to Compton, where Don excelled in sports through high school. During his first year at Compton College, he was signed to a professional baseball contract. He played for Pittsburgh Pirates and New York Mets minor-league teams for 14 years, while also going to school and coaching (for Compton College and Lynwood and Pius X high schools). He also played one year, in 1963, in the major leagues for the New York <b style="color:black;background-color:#a0ffff">Mets and was a pitching coach for the Chicago White Sox for a year in 1988. His education was interrupted so often it took him 13 years to finish college, but he finally got a teaching credential at Cal State Long Beach. When his baseball career as a player came to an end in 1966, Don was asked to teach and to coach the new J.C. football team at Golden West College in Huntington Beach. As a child, he'd hoped to go to West Point and become a general. He was crushed when he couldn't get in because he wore glasses. So he became a general on the playing field, instead. Smart, decisive and persistent, he spent hours mapping out strategies. He was fascinated by the physical mechanics of pitching and became an expert in kinesiology He didn't like being a spectator at games unless there was a pitcher he wanted to watch. Then he got seats right behind the mound. In 1982, Don had a heart attack and was on leave from Golden West College for a year. But when the Angels asked him to be pitching coach for their Redwood Pioneers farm team he couldn't refuse. When he returned to Golden West, he taught P.E. until the Milwaukee Brewers tabbed him to coach one of its minor league teams. Next, he was a roving pitching coach for the San Francisco Giants farm team. But in 1990, Milwaukee offered him good money to come back and be their major league pitching coach, so Don left Golden West and worked for the Brewers for the next eight years before retiring for good. Sports fans reveled in Don's many baseball stories. Like the time Hank Aaron hit his 299th home run off of Don the one year Don played for the New York <b style="color:black;background-color:#a0ffff">Mets. Don would then show people the baseball Aaron signed for him on which the hitter specified "299th." He had an extensive collection of uniforms, hats and signed baseballs. In 1957, when Don was playing for the Hollywood Stars in an exhibition game against the Boston Red Sox, he struck out Ted Williams and the play made the local papers. On Don's 60th birthday, his wife, Marilyn, sent Williams the articles, which he signed and returned with a friendly note. Although Don could be tough on the field, he had a gentle, generous nature. He let Marilyn write all the checks, but he liked to carry 100 $100 bills with him. He didn't want to spend it on himself. He wanted to hand out $100 tips to servers, bellhops or anyone else who went out of his or her way to be helpful and whom Don knew wasn't paid much. One airport worker, who shepherded him through a large airport when he couldn't find his flight gate, burst into tears when he handed her $100. He fought his disease to the end, struggling to remain physically fit and using a walker to get onto the Golden West field. He was losing his mental acuity, but liked to think he was helping coach. At the end, though, he got mad. "You and the doctors can just take this Parkinson's and get rid of it!" he told Marilyn. "I don't want it any more."

HahnSolo Jan 04 2007 12:57 PM

As a casual observer, I have a question: shouldn't the folks who have "earned" a higher seed get some kind of benefit in terms of the players they get to choose from? It seems Gwreck, the 18 seed, has a much better cast of characters than does Yancy who is the #1 seed (no offense to Tim Burke and his 30something adopted children). Jus' askin'. I guess with the number picking you're trying to make it random.

Nymr83 Jan 04 2007 01:07 PM

randomness is fairer Hahn, imo. Gwreck, i work better wirh a deadline, feel free to pm me with when you want this done by.

Edgy DC Jan 04 2007 01:11 PM

The advantage of topseediness is getting lesser-successful or lesser-experienced opponent, and avoiding the play-in round. Aside from that, we go for a level playing field.

sharpie Jan 04 2007 01:16 PM

Also, better players doesn't mean better subjects. Tim Burke and his 30 children sounds like a good angle.

Nymr83 Jan 04 2007 01:20 PM

yeah. i'm not to keen on my list, but i can write about one guy and thats all it takes because if you win you inherit the loser's list.

Benjamin Grimm Jan 04 2007 01:22 PM

HahnSolo wrote: It seems Gwreck, the 18 seed, has a much better cast of characters than does Yancy who is the #1 seed (no offense to Tim Burke and his 30something adopted children). It doesn't really matter that much. You just need to get inspiration for one of your assigned players. And if you win, you get another batch of players to choose from. And if you keep winning, your choices get easier and easier.

soupcan Jan 04 2007 02:28 PM

Holy crap! I got the motherlode... Tommie Agee Choo Choo Coleman Julio Franco Nolan Ryan Bret Saberhagen Darryl Strawberry So I can pretty much throw a ditty up there whenever?

You should coordinate with Transmonk so that one of your songs isn't up for days getting stale.

ScarletKnight41 Jan 04 2007 02:43 PM

Is there a list of the songs that were used in last year's contest?

Edgy DC Jan 04 2007 02:47 PM

MFS62 Jan 04 2007 05:03 PM

] David Cone Wayne Garrett Jerry Koosman Hobie Landrith Tug McGraw Wow! Nice choices there. I was hoping for one other player, and it seems nobody has him yet. I'd be curious if someone gets him. Later

Nymr83 Jan 04 2007 05:32 PM

nobody gets any of the guys not already assigned, right?

Edgy DC Jan 04 2007 05:34 PM

This is our field. The only way other players get assigned is if there's a tie, which is broken by a both competitors writing about a new random player.

Diamond Dad Jan 04 2007 06:30 PM To all, Good luck

Good luck to everyone. Some people more than others. Sorry I've been missing in action lately. Lots going on elsewhere. I'll dive into the parody song competition again next year if there is space. DD

MFS62 Jan 05 2007 07:16 AM

When will the brackets be posted? The contest start? Later

Edgy DC Jan 05 2007 07:18 AM

As far as I'm concerned, it's started.

sharpie Jan 05 2007 07:31 AM

Not that I'm near ready, but those matches who aren't involved in the play-in round (for example, I think I oppose Steve J. Rogers), can they start whenever both are ready?

Benjamin Grimm Jan 05 2007 07:48 AM

I think last year we waited for the playins to be completed before moving on. I assume I'm going to compete against one of the play-in survivors, but I'm not sure which particular battle I should be watching more closely.

Edgy DC Jan 05 2007 07:51 AM

Yes, wait for one round to end before starting the next.

soupcan Jan 05 2007 10:14 AM

I plan on posting my first entry sometime this weekend. I am sitting Shiva you know.

TransMonk Jan 05 2007 10:47 AM

I can have mine ready this weekend as well...I'll most likely post it Sunday afternoon. Do we post in this thread or start a new one for each matchup? Good luck soup, may the best parodist win!

Edgy DC Jan 05 2007 10:57 AM

OK, Midnight Monday your contest will be done.

Twenty-four weekday hours generally does it, I believe. I think we did 48 hours one year and very few voted on the second day.

Okay, but please don't forget to not close each one until Midnight...I can't take the risk of voting from work. The only reason I am talking to you now is that I am home sick.

I'm ready if you are soupcan...I'll post mine mid-Sunday. Should we post 'em here or start a new thread for each matchup in the "Crane Pool Forum Song Parody Contest" forum? On edit: never mind...since they're polls it'll have to be a new thread and I'm assuming that's why the sub-forum was created. Also, is it legal to post a link to an audio file of the original artist's song along with our parody? Might help with association if the parodist chooses, especially if they are choosing what may be lesser known songs. Also on edit: There were a few mp3s posted last year, so I'll assume it's OK.

My only request is not to start this on Tuesday between 11:30 am - 2:30 pm or on Wednesday during the day, because I'll be out of the house from about 8:00 am through 3:00 pm.

Yancy, I have already concocted an idea for my next mediocre Metly melody...but still need time to actually work on it. I'll get it ironed out by Wednesday night and be ready to post by (early) Thursday morning if that works for you.

]Wed morning I'll have something up Cool. You put up the poll and I'll follow.

Yeah, my money is on TransMonk to take the whole thing.

I've done some homework for my first go at this thing. :) Unfortunately, now I have to face the master.

When do you think you'll be ready to post? Is Thursday morning okay? If not, we can hold off until next week.

In order to know my 2nd round enemy, I went back to review sharpie's Randolphian Rhapsody. I'm dead meat.

Well, I've got my song done, so just tell me where to stick it and it's stuck. Let's get this show on the road.

I'll be ready after six pm tomorrow. I guess first one on the forum after six pm start the thread/poll. Good luck.

You guys better start the semi-finals soon if you want to find any shrimp in the Looser's Lounge. Yancy is a nonstop eating machine, and my credit card is maxed out. Besides, 'twould be nice to have this thing done before pitchers and catchers report next week (isn't that a nice thought - it's next week!).
