Man, you guys have me all paranoid to write these introductions now. The first word of last week's had a typo in it, and not a single editor had the courtesy of fixing it. It's taken a considerable toll on my heart, but that's cool. It's whatever, guys. I'm leaving the typo there because I'm lazy for posterity's sake, but I'll pretend it didn't happen. Anyway, hit the jump to see who placed for last week's caption contest, plus the usual leaderboard and updated challenge. Gogogo!
Two bronzies this week, with Gibbysdad taking one of them with the following:
Jim McLennan took the second bronze with the following submission:
Love is...
Never having to say you’re fiery…
Newcomer TylerO took home silver this week, posting the following:
Ebony and Ivory...
and a heckuva lot of india ink.

blank_38 jumped onto the board this week, taking his first medal (a Golden Wailord, no less) with the following caption:
Justin: You won’t ever have to sleep in the clubhouse ever again Ryan.
Ryan: Does this mean you’re adopting me!?
Justin: Give me a hug…son!

Jim managed to take home a medal this week, something that JustAJ failed to do. This, of course, put Mr. McLennan atop second on the leaderboard, now just a point behind frontrunner AJ. Tyler, blank, and Gibbysdad were all new to the leaderboard this week, so congrats to those three. I look forward to seeing your names in the future!
Twitter is quickly becoming commonplace among the game's more jocose players. Going with this love for succinctness, describe the Diamondbacks to a fan of another team in five words or fewer.
