Game Thread Competition: Season Five

[Pharmabro]

Rocky needs just 1 more win in this streak to guarantee an overall lead in the competition - and most likely claim the title *

1) .632 rockycola 12-7 (falls to .600 / 12-8 if the streak ends at 10)
2=) .600 mostonmike 12-8
2=) .600 TLO Idaho 9-6
4=) .500 desbcoach/Sibelius Hindemith/seattlefan-daBronx/Pharmabro

Go Rocky - finish this GT competition, keep the streak going.

* 5 or 6 game streaks by other GT starters could stop him

Helluva run!

[mostonmike]

Darren needs a 6 game streak to claim the lead in the GT Comp. That would put him on 10-6 even with a loss at the end.

There would only be 3 games left at that point and only a steal could stop him.

Go Darren, bring this home...

We have a new leader in the GT starter Competition after the Rockies series
1) .688 D-Train 11-5 (will drop to .647 if he loses Game 1 v LAD)
2=) .600 mostonmike 12-8
2=) .600 TLO Idaho 9-6
2=) .600 rockycola 12-8
5=) .500 desbcoach 7-7
5=) .500 Sibelius Hindemith 7-7
5=) .500 seattlefan-daBronx 6-6
5=) .500 Pharmabro 6-6
9) .471 Millikin 8-9
10) .454 DavidGee24 5-6
11) .400 Coeurd’Alene J 4-6
12) .375 bpj 3-5

Next Game thread starters if needed.......
10) seattlefan-daBronx 6-6
11) Pharmabro 6-6

Darren can now only be beaten if
> He doesn't start a Game Thread for LAD Game 1 and its stolen by any of the three on .600 AND the Mariners sweep LA
> TLO can catch and level if the Mariners lose Game 1 to LA then seattlefan-dabronx forgets to start Game 2 thread which TLO steals AND Mariners win the last 2 vs LAD

Or in other words, congratulations Darren - send yourself $1,000 which you agreed as this year's prize.

Fascinating Fact, we now need a maximum of 8 starters for the Play-Offs. So the following were all .500 or over during regular season, see earlier post. Sometime this stuff just writes itself.

1) D-Train - Game 1 of ALDS
2) mostonmike
3) TLO Idaho
4) rockycola
5) desbcoach
6) Sibelius Hindemith
7) Pharmabro will move up to position 5 or drop to steal list number 3 depending on Game 162 result

Steal list:
1) Millikin
2) seattlefan-daBronx
3) DavidGee24
4) Coeurd’Alene J
5) bpj

Additional rules for playoffs
> THREAD MUST BE STARTED BY 9am PDT / 12pm EDT / 5pm BST on Game Day with the following exception
> In 2024 there was a 10am PDT game start time, albeit an East Coast game - so in the event of a ridiculously silly start time the 2 hour rule will also come into play.
> If thread is not started by above time, the steal list comes in to play first.
> In that case the first person in the steal list who hasn't already stole a play-off thread has a 30 minute window to take the thread i.e. 09:00:00 to 09:29:59
> After 09:30:00 PDT, if thread is not started its a free-for-all, anyone (of the 12) anywhere can take the thread.
> Any steal is a Free-Hit and we return to the order upon the next loss. Thus, it does not erase your spot in line (an on-deck poster who steals will get two consecutive turns)


All happy, any thoughts?

Felicitations, Darren! Wish you would have won the last 3, equaling my 10-game steal streak.
As it was, you and I won 17 of the last 21 Mariner games, propelling Seattle into the postseason.
I assure you there was no E-witch involved. Just our positive energy and the M's determination.

On to the playoffs!!!
