Greetings. We're working ourselves to exhaustion over here at JABO headquarters. Hope you're all impressed and mildly entertained. You make it all possible.
The Cable Guy Pleasant Surprise Award
Winner: Todd Coffey
Runner-Up: Craig Counsell
This was a close one. Day 2's Award has been dedicated to one of Jim Carrey's less heralded roles, the 1996 comedy The Cable Guy. This maligned film has suffered numerous pop-culture onslaughts (see Planet Springfield Visit), but in a vacuum, The Cable Guy is pretty funny and a solid little comedy. Similarly, Todd Coffey is putting together a nice little season and puts on a comedy show every time he appears in a game. This type of performance proves once again why Doug Melvin shan't be questioned in public. Coffey was claimed off waivers by the Brewers last September after the Reds dumped him and his 6.00 ERA. Miraculously, he proved invaluable to the Brewers down the stretch and into the playoffs. And surprisingly, he's come up big in tough situations this season too.
When we look back at Jim Carrey's career, most will look past the comedy pairings of Carrey and Matthew Broderick. And when we look back at 2009, hopefully Todd Coffey is not the highlight. Us dreamers would like to think other feats of strength will carry the Brewers into October baseball. And for that reason, Todd Coffey wins Day 2's Pleasantly Surprised Award. He is also the winner on account of his pleasantly surprising age: 28. Congrats sir.
