* * * ROUND 2 UPDATE * * *

Here is the virtual voting booth for the first ever Amazin'A venue Caption Contest. Remember, the winner takes home a copy of New York Mets Vintage World Series Films DVD.

Voting will end at 5pm on Monday, so get your votes in.

(This is the second and final round of the voting. You can see the results of the first round here.)

UPDATE [12/9 @ 9:53am]: PollMonkey.com, the supplier of these polls, is having some server problems. Once those are sorted out the current poll as well as the link to the first round poll should be available. Sorry for the confusion.

UPDATE [12/10 @ 12:45am]: PollMonkey.com has their server problems sorted out so the poll should be working now. Thanks for everyone's patience with this. The next time promises to be a much smoother process.

Here's the picture (click to enlarge):

Dude, I know

The poll sucks, but it was the best I could find on short notice. I'll try to find something less cringe-worthy for the next one.

I'm pretty sure you can only vote once.

Yes

I scoured the web for a better poll service and this one is pretty good; even the free version has some nice features.

I'm abstaining

on the grounds that none of the captions, including mine, are remotely funny. We have got to be capable of better than this!

Can I do a write-in vote campaign

for my late-entry, but obviously the winner, "Haha! She thinks I'm David Eckstein!" ?

Count this at vote #1.

I like it, but DW isn't scrappy enough to be confused with Eckstein. Eck would give 120% behind the bar and DW is clearly goofing off.

Eckstein makes a drink called a White LaRussa that is one part vodka and one part "genius" sperm.

not possible.

Eckstein drinks nothing but dirt. Maybe he could produce a drink for others out of equal parts sweat, elbow grease, and grit. It could be an Ecks-tini.

I see no poll to vote

PollMonkey

Their servers are down so the poll is unavailable; try again a little later on.

Watch me paste this pathetic palooka with a powerful paralyzing perfect pachydermous percussion pitch.

Hey Eric

I went here trying to find out what's going on with Marcus Giles, and they have a sort of neat feature I thought you might want to think about emulating - they show the projected 2006 team on the left sidebar. Just an idea - I kinda like it.
