I wanted to say thanks to everyone that ran a game thread this year. It was a very hard year, and the humor and fun in that part of the site was one of the reasons I came back to the site every day. I hope everyone has a great off season. 

RB has earned his 4th straight MVP award with 1,350 CAR (clicks above replacement)

But we've got some up and coming players who have developed faster than anticipated. Maybe even a couple of future all-stars! 

The future is bright.... 

Agreed... great work everyone, especially Riverbrian, but everyone!

Always a fun time...already miss them      but, WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR!!!!   

I finally did my first game thread for Saturday's game. I enjoyed doing so, but I must say its not easy. Took some serious time to try and write something that might be interesting.

I, too, want to thank all who took the plunge and volunteered.

 

Also a shout out to everyone who participated. The game threads remain one of my favorite things about this place, and that's because of all of you. MUCH APPRECIATED!

Interesting?

 

That's an interesting idea.

 

I never thought of trying that.

 

Here's to next year. 

It's take a village to create that daily event.

Everyone's effort, creativity and self deprecation made it possible.

 

I wasn't able to participate as much as I liked this year because of my schedule but it doesn't change what I think about it.  

 

It's one of the most special places on the internet. I can't think of any place like it... where else can you find a room filled with both humor and respect... On the internet?  Some said it couldn't be done.

 

It has been done

 

 

 

 

 

 

Game threads are a lot more fun in the playoffs. I miss the payoffs.

Pffffft, don't give me any of that cybermetric stuff. I want to know how much VP he provided and just how gritty it was.

He battled his tail off.

It was a fun year, at least from a game thread perspective. It was a nice distraction from the dumpster fire known as "The Twins."

Well done everyone.

 

Like!~

Hopefully this team gets better. And just as hopefully said success does not ruin GT. The worse the games got, the better GT got. There is something to be said for subtle snark!

Are you sure we're talking about the same game threads?

Since were in the off-season.  Who's heading to Fort Myers this year?  I'll be down there Feb 23-28.  

 

We should get the Thread of who's going and when going again, only this time start it early.  Maybe try to meet some of you in person.

 

Loosey:  Feb 23-28

I'll be there at some point for a week or two, possibly consecutive, possibly not. I've been there every year for the past 16 yrs in a row, plus a few scattered others, no reason to think I won't be there this spring. Just haven't selected the dates yet.

What always got me when it came to game threads was deadlines. Sign up for a thread a month in advance and then wait for the muse known as "last minute panic" to strike.

My parent's live there in the winter and unfortunately other family members and friends go visit in March when "real" spring training is going on.  So i get the last week in February usually.  Hopefully they will have at least reported by then.

Echoing Brian, thanks to Chief and Chitown for all the help with game threads.

My parents live there as well, but are year-rounders now. There is usually little clash with other relatives as my schedule is more flexible, not having to work around any school breaks.

 

And for sure they report by then; at the very least catchers and pitchers, but a lot of the team is there anyway working out even if not officially.

All of the contributors did a very good job.  I'm impressed.

 

Next year will be more fun.  Even if the team is bad we will have new philosophies to discuss and debate.

I was there in Mid February last year and saw a bunch of the minor leaguers working out.  My 4 year old at the time almost wiped out Joe Benson before the Twins took care of it a few weeks later.

Subtle??

I think sledgehammer wit is more like it.

Just my luck, spell check fails me yet again. . Btw, looking for somewhere to stay up there, say about Nov. 9th or so. I think I can adapt, all I need to do is throw in an extra 'u' in a few words, move the 'e' in liters!
