I figured we needed to start this. For those who don't know what it's all about, you pick a player in advance of the game who you think will be the star of the game.
Rules are pretty simple:
1. The Reds have to win. This is kind of unfair to a guy who had a great game in a losing cause but, hey ... life sucks sometimes.
2. A starting pitcher needs to have a boss game, not just a QS. Boss would be ... say, 15 Ks over 7 innings and shutout ball. Maybe a 3-hitter.
3. You can pick "bullpen" to cover for a top relief effort by several pitchers. An example would be Sam LeCure coming into the game in the 1st inning and going 3 innings to save the day, as he did in the LDS.
4. There can be co-stars. Discussion can occur if there is debate over the star.
5. A point goes to the person who got it right. When it's not clear, we basically just agree to disagree and give it to 2 people.
Just make sure you pick your guy before the game. TLakes has been kind enough to tally the points. The winner gets ... a date with Marge Schott's ghost.
You might want to wait until the lineup is posted if you aren't sure.
So here's the place to start.
