Holy horsefeathers, man. I felt weird liking your post, but it seemed like literally the least I could do. Good luck and kick some ass.

Holy hell, it's already Opening Day. Guys, I know we all loved doing our Mad Men thing, but we gotta shake it up; MM helped shake off the doldrums last year, but it didn't quite bring it to the promised land. But I'm still gonna keep it prestige TV, and we're gonna try another classic that has gifs galore. Let me just check with the star himself and see what he thinks about all this... THAT'S THE SPIRIT, T. Oh yeah, and there's a baseball game or something going on. The Redassed Babyhead himself is starting for the Cubs in what will be, IMO, definitely the last time he starts Opening Day for the Cubs. Lester, I've got a bad feeling about you this year! But I guess he's looked OK this spring, for what that's worth; he just scares me for some reason in terms of getting old and falling off a cliff. But it's cool! The Cubs have a killer starting rotation regardless, and a lineup that should strike fear into any team they face. And how about that Ian Happ guy? He's murdering the ball in ST just like he undoubtedly murders old timey hobos before hopping a freight to escape the long arm of the train dicks hot on his heels. And they're playing the Marlins, who used to be a baseball team at some point. They have a pretty great home run statue. I think there's a cat living in it. Presumably they still have some players, but I'm pretty sure they're Just a Bunch of Dudes. Wait, no! They have Starlin, right?!? Well, then I hope the Cubs win 14-1, and that one Marlin run is a Castro dong that gets the statue a-sprayin'. IT'S BASEBALL TIME, MY DUDES.

This really needs to become a regular thing across the sport.

Holy horsefeathers, you're right; it didn't hit me that this is happening less than 2 days from now. I'll put it up later tonight.

I think I found that one via "murderous seal gif."

Man, figures that guy has some kind of unholy shrine to a bunch of monstrous Old Testament titans.

What kind of insane belief system does Tom have that he thinks "goes back to the Giants" might mean that someone has died?

And that's different from how he managed....how?

Actually getting paid to be NSB's angry hermit? Done and done.

Migrating this over from the other thread so the list is at the top and I can update as needed (people can still sign up!). The person currently up will be highlighted in blue, and I will update each person's record as the season rolls along. I'll also reach out to the next person up via PM whenever I am able to do so. I'll try to give the next person up until about 3-4 hours before the game is scheduled to start to put up a thread, and if there's no response I will bump them to the end of the line and PM the next person.

Sounds like a lonely weirdo job.

Eh; I made it gaudy enough that people should be able to see it as soon as the page opens. But thanks for trying.

So this is the roster so far in order of when they volunteered (sassy comments with no indication of actually volunteering ignored): [glow=red]2018 Season Game Thread Starters[/glow] Sammy Sofa PackLandVA philosophizer75 Ding Dong Johnson treebird Duke Silver David Andy I'll put this in my post near the top so it's easier to keep track of and I can edit as needed.

You can still change your picks at this point.

BRING BACK THAT PETERMAN GUY.

Ah, horsefeathers it; I'll run it.

This really feels like tempting fate to be posting these kind of stories in such a schadenfreude-y thread.

Doubt it's gonna happen in his age 29 season after almost a decade of playing professional baseball, unfortunately.

Just based off watching a bunch of clips, I almost think he'd made little tweaks to his mechanics almost every single season.
