This is round 2 of Humbugardy. I'm your host, Alex Scorebard.

He finished second in the MVP voting to
the player who hit a famous slam off
the player who lost a game 7 LCS shutout to
the player who was born in the same city as
the poet who wrote,
"Let Greeks be Greeks, and Women what they are."

1. Bob Timmermann

Who is John Mayberry?

2005-11-08 18:28:18

2. For The Turnstiles

See, I knew Bob would get this one.

2005-11-08 18:30:28

3. Bob Timmermann

Symmetry is a powerful force. I only get 200, 600 or 1000s.

4. Sam DC

"All the bushleague batters
Are left to die on the diamond.
In the stands the home crowd scatters
For the turnstiles,
For the turnstiles,
For the turnstiles."

Man -- I've always liked your handle (moniker? screenname?), but I had no idea it was so, um, bleak. Or is it?

5. Vishal

dammit bob. sigh.

6. King of the Hobos

Who is John Mayberry...dang. Well, maybe next time...

2005-11-08 18:42:19

7. Bob Timmermann

The key this time was that I had already eaten!

2005-11-08 18:43:40

8. For The Turnstiles

Bleak? I suppose so. It's a great song, though I don't remember exactly why I chose to use it as my handle here - usually I use something more like my actual name.

And I see that my success at Humbugardy has now made baseballtoaster the 4th hit at google on a search for that phrase.

9. Sam DC

Ken -- I'll pass on that people (OK, just Vishal) were asking for a score update over at Dodger Thoughts. And I would be interested in knowing if my bad guesses have dropped me back to zero, or if I still have my meager place on the board. (Really a rule question, not a score update question.)

2005-11-08 18:45:30

10. Sam DC

8 Like I said, maybe it's not bleak at all. With poetry/great songs, you can generally make a case either way.

Bob got it. I'll give a score update soon. I keep waiting for someone to hit one of the two double-up questions, but it hasn't happened yet.

2005-11-08 19:59:30

12. Bob Timmermann

I'll go Subjective for 600.

2005-11-08 20:10:36

13. Score Bard

And it still hasn't happened.
