Like a fool bent on certain destruction, I placed a wager on the body of Grady Sizemore in 2009. You know, those legs that currently aren't responding. The wager: my avatar.

As we all know, more than 82 games have passed us by. It has been no cup of tea. While the team's record gives some of us the squirms and some of us reason to hope, the absence of Grady's name from the lineup card in CF, or any other position, means that I am the losing man in this game. Now the time has come for a new, bold, embarrassing avatar as picked and voted by you.

I haven't done much game-threading this year and am not up with the typical postings that could be used, so use this opportunity to submit any and all avatar options. Photoshop, search the nets, take a picture of an ugly dog. After we have gathered up a large enough selection, a vote will occur. Do your worst, LGT.
