2017 Game Thread Starters (Updated: Sometimes)

[UMFan83]

I had the winning streak right after the break. Want to say 6 games. But I think game 1 should go to Sofa for obvious reasons

I'll do it.

[Sammy Sofa]

I'm always down, though that was a 7-game winning streak; wasn't 8 technically the longest for the season? Who had that one?

[Andy]

I was saying that because in the past we rotated by who had the best regular-season record. Unfortunately that info seems lost to history at the moment.

 

I'd definitely give Game 1 to Sammy regardless of all else.

[Sammy Sofa]

Huh; according to BR, that September streak was their longest of the year. I'll get a thread started if the general consensus is that that's cool. Or should we wait until we have pitchers?

Want me to go start the game thread on the Nats' message board?

Want me to go start the game thread on the Nats' message board?

Also ask if they want a freelance post “Why this 2017 Nationals team is different and why they’ll break through in the playoffs.”

And then go ahead and do ones for the other 3 NL teams also. You can wait on the AL teams until the ALCS so you don't have to do as much work.

[Bote McBoteface]

I think I was 1-1 but I think I can pull together a good playoff game thread. In 14 years Ive started 2 game threads total, both this year, so I could still have some beginner's luck.

Banned because he failed to get up a thread after a win multiple times

Schwarber Fan 5-2

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Dang, I knew I would be up there in win % but didn't know it'd be towards the top. That's what you get when you only start game threads in the 2nd half. Haha

[Sammy Sofa]

Hey, we gotta go with what works. I say you get it started, and may it never have to fall to me this postseason.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

If that's what everyone wants. I know my longest streak was 6. I'll check back here in a few hours to see if the consensus is boring me or exciting Mad Men.

[Schwarber Fan]

There's no way I went 5-2. Eh, I don't deserve it anyway.

[UMFan83]

WTF? I went 8-8 but one of my runs was a 6 game winning streak? So 2-7 otherwise? Yeesh, don't let me start any playoff threads.

[soccer10k]

Yeah, I think you started off 0-5.

Isn't the real key, keeping you out of the stadium?

I have won my last 3 games including the home opener and game 1 of the NLDS last year. I willed Javy's home run to go out

11-0 run thru the postseason would be nice

Show Cleveland what a meaningful streak looks like.

[Andy]

So Plan, Sammy, myself and Brian to start. In the wild event it gets that far, Jersey, Ding Dong and the robot can have a battle royale to determine the next spot. (I really enjoyed typing that last sentence.)

[Sammy Sofa]

Worrrrrrrrrrd.
