I think “Casino” is underrated just because it came out after “Goodfellas.” Too similar, too soon. In retrospect, though, it definitely stands up on its own.

My player of the game is something that I’ve thought about for a while. Usually the player of the game is reserved for the best player in that particular game. I believe this is the best way to select a player of the game. I would have to say that if I were to pick a player of the game, I too would use the “time-honored tradition” of selecting the best player in that particular game. Therefore, my choice for the player of the game would be Madison Bumgarner.

I just put it together quickly based on my idea in the request thread. There is a lot of room for improvement, but the idea is just an easy to create thread where something like Lyle’s needs in the following quote can be met – which seem fair to me.
Many times I’ve thought about delving into the GT or PGT (since I miss most of the night games), but then think better of it because my work PC can’t handle 1,000-post threads. And I just want to know how the starting pitcher looked, or how Buster did, or who played RF.

Hmm. While I agree that the PGTs can get a little unwieldy and inaccessible after a big win, I kind of like the idea of it as a free flowing organism that just grows exponentially. It’s not like baseball isn’t being talked about but the conversations just expands. That being said, this could work but it’ll take a while to get used to.

I made a suggestion. You obviously don’t like it. So be it. I DO appreciate your clever, sarcastic wit. I can only hope to be as clever someday.
Wait, what?
He did like it, that’s why he made this thread. WTF?
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.

I’m pretty sure he’s sincerely trying to make your suggestion a reality.
Or are we just being chasmed?

Chasmed I do believe.
That’s ok. As they say: whatever.
Well, no offense, but I’m pretty sure you’re wrong and this was a sincere attempt at trying assuage some of your concerns. I guess I don’t want to speak for howie, but I never for a moment thought this was a joke. He addressed your concerns in your original fanpost, listened to suggestions made by several posters and came up with this as a potential solution. He gave it a test-run today. I don’t get why you think this is a dig at you. Unless I’m missing something, I don’t think there’s any reason to think that it is.
I don’t personally think that this is the best solution to the issue (I’m still on the Morning Round Up bandwagon), but howie was trying and he did ask for suggestions as to how to improve it in the future.

No offense taken cause I WAS WRONG
and I apologized. I actually went back and looked at the in game thread that Howtheyscored put the link on. He made a concerted effort and I acted like a 12 year old hurt girl. So again, my apology. I missed that one.
And I was just having fun. No offense intended by my first OT comment.

My sincere apology
I screwed up. God I can be an idiot sometimes.
Today’s wasn’t a very good result, but I think it’s worth trying again. Maybe the hidden thread idea is a bit complicated after all. jponry mentioned the Morning Round Up, and that might be something worth exploring.

That’s probably a really good idea. The immediate participation in the post-game thread is generally on-topic and about the game (and any resulting agony). But after a few hours, it becomes a miasma of OT. In the morning, I’ll rarely bother with a PGT, since I know at least 2/3 of the activity will be waaaay OT, requiring lots of zeeing.
And then, by the time we might want to discuss the upcoming game (and our fearless leader has yet to post a GDT), a lot of interesting stuff gets put into the previous night’s PGT, but I’m not always up to the challenge of finding it.
A morning thread might solve that problem – provide a place to renew baseball discussions and get ready for the new day of baseball.
And also: I hate that this is both bolded and italicized.
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU
I tweet (more often than I blarg).
Maybe there should be an OT-dedicated PGT?

I’d be totally willing to do the Morning Round Up. And I’m up at 6 every morning anyway, so it’ll be up early!

"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
East Coast or West Coast time?
I like the idea of a morning round-up, but for those of us on the East Coast 9 am our time isn’t that early since most of us have to regularly drag our ass out of bed after staying up to watch baseball until 1 am. I like to be able to peruse the MCC first thing in the morning to avoid doing actual work until my brain actually wakes up and it seems that a lot of the other McCoven on the East Coast do the same thing. Especially if 6 am PST turns in to 8 am PST than it’s almost lunch out here.

The italics
make me nervous.
Yes, oldjacket, there’s a lot of basebal in the PGT, but it’s been the minority topic for several months and it’s daunting to search for it.
On the other hand, I like the OT’s, some of which aren’t really that “off.”

Well, I couldn’t have guessed that my casual comment about the kid who was hit by the bat would lead to such rancor. Clearly, it was a discussion waiting to be ignited.

Mrs. Beck has some great quotes about how Rod would’ve reacted.
"Rodney would have said records were made to be broken and would be the first to congratulate Brian on the accomplishment. A closer wants to end the game and put his team in the win column. Rodney would probably want to cheer Brian on as well. He’d come up with a witty quote for you, too.
