In fact, the 5 innings or less thing is complicating, because for the game to be suspended at all, doesn't it have to have gone at least 5 innings?  Or is it 4.5?)

True.  In fact you answered that one last week for me when Bal/Tor was suspended.

He could start the game and pitch less than 5 innings for the losing team and take a loss. Have the game be suspended and be traded to the other team and enter as a reliever in a game where the starter failed to go five innings and be awarded the win if the official scorer merits him worthy (the starter must go 5 innings to qualify for a win).

ta da! a winning tp for you.

I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

No love on the other possible scenario?

And it was Redz who was initially worried about getting passed over...irony strikes!  ;)

Yeah, looks like I got hit with the classic "retaliatory" penalty.  Utterly ridiculous  :o ;)
