[DPMOmaha]

Well, we've got a rookie on the mound tonight.  Do we want a newbie to make the thread or a vet to support the rook?

[hammondsnats]

i'm the livan hernandez of gameday starting threads ... i can always go out there and give us a chance.  and i can go back out there the very next day too ... i'm the rubber arm/workhorse/gameday thread eater.

[JMUalumni]

I've got this one

[DPMOmaha]

Get it done JMU. 

[Kevrock]

Anyone but Assclown. His post consisted of the Nats lineup. That's it.

[DPMOmaha]

But he won.  Can't argue with the results.

[JMUalumni]

Give me like 15 mins and it will be up

[CatsEye]

 Will someone explain to me how the gameday threads work - how it is decided who starts them and so on? Is it in the policy or message board explanations somewhere? I was looking but didn't find anything. Thanks...

[CJames0569]

I don't really think there are any guidelines stated anywhere, more like unwritten rules that are known and mentioned here and there. I've never started one but after more than 2 seasons I think it's about time.

[JMUalumni]

Could somebody post an example of the formatting, I am having trouble with it.  I tried to quote the post to look at the formatting, but the thread is locked and it won't let me.

Something like this is what I am going for:

[DPMOmaha]

This is what I use for my game threads, it's borrowed from someone else, I don't remember who, from last year, but it's basically just plugging in the teams and images from there.

[JMUalumni]

Thanks, that makes things a lot easier.

[The Chief]

bump, solid rookie outing for JMU

[The Chief]

So who wants to risk their record on today's game?  No Pudge and no Zimm, gonna be a rough day.

Can't risk my 0-2.

[hammondsnats]

olsen vs. billingsley tomorrow ... could be interesting.

but i'll be available to start it up if nobody else wants in.

[NatsDad14]

Hammondsnats is the Nick Johnson of starting game threads. He is selective to the point that he won't pull the trigger until he is 100% confident.

hey assdouche - look @ the starting pitching match-ups i've had ...

stammen vs. kendrick (x2), hernandez vs. wolf, marquis vs. davis ... not exactly great match-ups.  and i start them b/c nobody else had when i did.

yeah because its possible to select a sure win with this team.

[Lintyfresh85]

I'll take tomorrow's.

Got a good feeling about Olsen.

[cmdterps44]

I would take tomorrows but I don't think I'll be around to schedule the lineups or anything else aside from starting it.

Kyle Kendrick is a garbage pitcher. Not hard to have confidence vs. him. Livan is a solid pitcher who is better than wolf. The Marquis matchup looks like a gamble though you couldn't have known that he was that bad of a pitcher. You'll get rid of that rep the day you start a thread when Olsen or Stammen go vs. Roy Halladay.

read my previous post ... i just said i'll take tomorrows because i'm available if nobody else does.  to prove a point i'll start a gameday thread everyday to give you the finger!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You definitely don't want me anywhere near them, I'm the Queen of the Damned when it comes to game threads.
