All right, this morning we kicked off the annual look at Twitter accounts in the Cardinals section of the website. Many of those were write-ins and not listed on the main ballot. Everyone from now on was on the ballot and that helps the point totals start to increase. We’ll also go ahead and add in the average per ballot now that there’s a few more ballots involved. Let’s see what we have!

How can you not appreciate at good baseball/Star Trek pun/reference? That’s just good stuff right there. Also Zed is one of my favorites–good pun appreciation, good Star Wars opinions, and a reliable ally in dealing with triveratops.

We got a little deeper in the tiebreaker in here, so my rule of thumb was that if the points are tied and the average are tied, we go to the top score with the higher winning. If that’s tied, we go to the low score, with the higher again winning. There are a lot of really good accounts that focus on the history of the Cardinals. If you are interested in such information, remembirds is a great one to follow. I’ve been on a show or two with JD and he is a knowledgeable voice, plus it’s remarkable how he’s able to turn out a daily podcast. That’s some dedication. Grobot is why verified accounts were created, though it’s obviously not as valuable as it used to be. One of the benefits of doing #bombsaway was getting to interact with folks like OT. The Gang must have gotten off of Twitter since I checked accounts before putting out the ballot.

I don’t think I’ve seen stuff from NChill over at Birds on the Black lately, but that could be me missing something. There’s a lot of good talk on the account, but there seems to be a distinct lack lately of charts on cardinalscharts. You can see Tamar regularly on KMOV. Always have to sympathize with Ron because he spends so much time with Cubs fans and he occasionally is weird about Star Wars.
That’s one more chunk down! Come back this afternoon for more!
