Game Thread Starters 2016 (Updated starter lineup on page 2)

[Bull]

Take me out of the rotation. My schedule isn't consistent enough for me to be reliable. That and I really don't think we will have more than 11 losses/losing streaks.

[haubrich91]

Sign me up!

[David]

Screw it, throw me on the list

[weis21]

Hell, throw me on there, too. I've never done it and this is a good damn year to throw my hat in the ring.

[beantowncubfan]

Did I get relegated? Spot starter?

[Cubbie Swagger]

Intentional. There is debate on which one is correct.

[jersey cubs fan]

There's no debate!

[Cubbie Swagger]

There's no debate!

This is the first I've heard of any such debate.

[Derwood]

There's no debate!

 

Correct. Fred is wrong and the rest of us are right. Moving on...

He was 97 so that could be Fred's son, maybe even grandson.

[ctcf]

I talked to Fred on the phone a couple weeks ago. He's had some health issues, but is still kickin.

So last year we reshuffled the rotation for the playoffs based on W-L record. Everyone ok doing that again or should we go with the best 4 or 5?

Go ahead and reshuffle. Then ride The Logan wave.
