Full Version: Vote! 2006 King of the Hardwood - FINAL FOUR
MDB - I'd rather not see the results to date when I vote in the final contest. That way everyone can vote early (and if they live in Philly, often wink ) without the votes cast so far influencing their vote.
Thanks again for making this happen!

I haven't gone back to look at the original bracket (I voted so long ago, back when I thought Duke and UConn would meet in the NCAA title game) - but how did Bronson Arroyo not make the cut? Or Kasey Kahne? I'd climb them both like a tree.
I didn't have Bronson Arroyo on the list...I don't think anyone mentioned him. Kasey Kahne I did think about because he's from Washington! I don't think I had any Nascar guys on the list this year but I did have a Formula 1 guy (Alex Yoong). Nascar guys didn't fare too well last year. Maybe next year. Kahne is definitely on my list.I haven't gone back to look at the original bracket (I voted so long ago, back when I thought Duke and UConn would meet in the NCAA title game) - but how did Bronson Arroyo not make the cut?

It looks like this round will set a new record for number of votes, as I still have not voted, and I get to cast five votes under all my aliases. What great fun.
Wow! Just like at the Olympics it looks like Jeremy Bloom may not win the gold!
But man David Carr is as fine as the day is long. And Brad Ausmus would melt snow at the North Pole, and heat up a few other poles too.

Wow...I always wondered if other people had more than one profile. I'm just Maddog...lol. Anyone else have multiples?

183 Voters! We have a new record...and counting.
Bloom now trails by 11 votes. Michalak is narrowing the gap on Ausmus.

187 now.
Ausmus 96 - Michalak 91. It's getting closer. Maybe the European votes are trickling in?
Carr 98 - Bloom 89.

Do people really think that Brad Ausmus is hotter/sexier than Michalak? Not to say that everyone isn't entitled to their opinion, but in terms of pure attractiveness, I am surprised at the closeness of the race. The rugby man has it all over Brad.
The other race is understandably close. David Carr (on his good days) can hold his own with Jeremy. I don't think that either of them are the top two of their groups, but can certainly support their success.
Perhaps it is more the baseball vs. rugby divide, but I think that Ausmus doesn't win this one in a vote with a larger population. Just my opinion.

I can see your point about everyone having their opinion but honestly I find Brad much more attractive than Freddie. I like real guys, not guys air-brushed and posed. Or if they are air-brushed and posed they don't look air-brushed and posed. Do people really think that Brad Ausmus is hotter/sexier than Michalak?

Freddie is beautiful and very fun to look at but I'd like to have a conference on my mound with Brad.
193 voters. Where are they coming from? What is a recent tally? Oops, 192.

201! And I still haven't voted. How exciting.
A little less than 9 hours remaining for the Final Four and the race is tight.
We are up to a record 202 votes.
Ausmus continues to lead Michalak while Carr continues to hold off Bloom.

210 votes cast. You have to give some recognition for eddiecat working the boards to get his boy to the top.
4-1/2 hours left to vote.
It's hang on time for Ausmus & Carr!

About one hour left to vote for all you late night owls.
The Championship game will be posted tomorrow morning. I'll try to have the poll open by 9am pacific time. The Championship Poll will remain open until 9am on Monday, April 17th.
The poll will be blind. That means, you won't know who wins or see the reslts until the voting period expires!
As for the Final Four, does Bloom or Michalak have enough late night votes to overcome their current deficit? Will we crown a new champion this year? Stay tuned...
See you all tomorrow.

Thank you,shore! It's not like I don't like Ausmus,in fact I think they are equally hot.Freddie just has the most seductive eyes I have ever seen.

Glad my boy Brad Ausmus reached the finals! I always liked a man of substance, and Brad has both looks and brains to spare! Pity Jeremy won't make it the finals for a third consecutive year, but I guess variety is the spice of life...
