as brought up in this post

Question..... Who is our Game 1 Starter for the playoffs? not pitcher, I mean thread starter.. We need our ace.... Who dat be?

how do we establish an ACE?

is it Rep points?

do we go through the game threads for a best winning %?

or do we have a multi-option poll to pick an order?

please speak up and let us know how you feel

I have a horrible record starting game threads.

I am the in game mojo master though. I do hereby relegate myself to the bullpen.

I just am not sure I have the time to run through the old game threads to get the records by tomorrow afternoon

SamBam has pretty much singlehandedly kept a ton of game threads afloat. Maybe he should start the first one.

he get my nomination for game one

Someone needs to get one started though. Last second starts are ok in the middle of the regular season, but in the playoffs, we need to act like we've been here before. Plus we need as much time as possible to build mojo.

lets see if one gets made, A request has been sent

We should have a rotation set...I'd like to start one or two at least. I created the thread for the game in which the Sox clinched the AL East. That's got to be worth something. Mikey, I'll leave it up to you and the other mods.

I'm Really Hoping That Only One Thread Starter Is Needed

The New York Mets' late-season collapse changed the on-air lineup for TBS, whose first-ever MLB playoff coverage includes all four first-round matchups. It made Mets local analyst Ron Darling available.
He'll work the Chicago Cubs-Arizona series, with Dick Stockton, and frees analyst Bob Brenly, who had been scheduled to work with Stockton, to form a three-man booth with Chip Caray and Tony Gwynn. That team will call the New York Yankees-Cleveland series and then the National League Championship Series coverage. (Fox will broadcast the ALCS and World Series.)

Ted Robinson and Steve Stone will call the Los Angeles Angels-Boston series. Red Sox local announcer Don Orsillo and Joe Simpson will call Monday's San Diego-Colorado tiebreaker — which will go head-to-head in prime time with Monday Night Football on ESPN, which no longer covers the MLB postseason — and then the winner's series against Philadelphia.

But, TBS executive producer Jeff Behnke says, those assignments were simply based on geography. With tiebreaker locations unclear, he says, staffers and gear began heading to Denver and Philadelphia from a Houston staging ground Saturday. Orsilla and Simpson followed their production teams to Monday's game in Colorado.

TBS will offer various new looks, such as the first live online views from cameras in dugouts and ones focused on pitchers. TBS also will do something that might allow studio analyst Cal Ripken Jr. to add to his career stats. The graphic that creates a sort of rainbow to trace the arc of pitches on game replays will be superimposed in the studio so Ripken can take virtual cuts at pitches thrown in games.

"He'll be standing at a home plate with a bat," Behnke says. "Balls will come in just like at the games. It will be very real." In a vaguely hallucinatory way.

And don't forget: TBS' coverage will be the first MLB postseason games with no over-the-air coverage in participating teams' home markets.

Luck: With the USA swamping the International squad in the Presidents Cup in Montreal, NBC lucked out with raucous crowds cheering on Canadian Mike Weir in his match against Tiger Woods. Weir won the final two holes to beat Woods, and viewers got to see galleries sporting hockey jerseys. NBC's Roger Maltbie said he had goose bumps, while Johnny Miller said the scene was "pretty chilling." Now we can all take a TV golf sabbatical until 2008

Hey guys! Sorry but I was stuck in meetings all morning and didn't get a chance to come on. Thanks for considering me. But oldskool has the AL East title mojo and deserves the thread. I gotta get out of here so I can get home for the game. See you on line later! GO SOX!!!

[Mikiemo83]

I am not going to back them up during the series so we can bump them for discussion purposes
