Maybe he will get the thread going in the AM when he gets up. I say wait til then and if he doesn't have it going by 8ish, bump him back. It's very possible he was in bed before the game was even over...and the rules say not to start the new thread til the game is over. So, he may have had no chance. It's not his fault. The rules also say to get it up the night before the next game. Roast will understand if we need to get it up. It would be a sport start, so Roast gets the next one, win or lose. Correct. Whether or not the Cubs win tomorrow, Roast gets the next start. I understand that (and don't know why I'm really concerned as I am not starting any threads for games) but, at this point, I don't really see a *lot* of pre-game discussions occuring. I think, if he can get it up before he's off to school, that from that time until game time there, is plenty of time for pre-game discussions. But, I have no influence whatsoever in this matter so I'm sure Raisin will start the thread since he wants to.
