You also did Kingman Presents Dingerdrome 2 so jeff is way behind the curve here.

Dinger teams own. Everyone make dinger teams.

They suck against cookie Astrodome teams but gently caress the Astrodome anyway

And let's be honest, one never needs an excuse to build a Kingman themed team.

Ugh yeah Astrodome is the worst for these teams. Im trying to think of something kooky to do with this one. I could unleash The Foxxy Babes again...

Imagine what Jeff Bagwell would have done if he hadn't played his prime years in the Astrodome.

Imagine that, then tell me it's not a monstrosity.

yeah but he still wouldn't get into the hall of fame because other people in the same era used steroids therefore

My bullpen blows two saves here but the real problem is Sparky bringing in my PM starter into the PM2 game when I run out of bullpen guys. I don't have any of my five starters checked for relief so I'm not sure why he'd pull out the guy at 50% instead of one of my three other starters at 100%.

edit: I just noticed that my SP4 and SP5 pinch hit late in extras and never actually pitched in the game. My SP3 still never came into the game at all and was sitting pretty at 100%. Argh Sparky you hurt me sometimes

Nah, we've already got everyone but Art in, easier just to deal with BOGGS than try and get us all into another one. Especially when another one could very well have ligapelota or lazerhawks or whomever else in it, too.

I won't be home until close to 7, do you think there'll be any spots left by then?

3 open spots. I would find a proxy and get it done from work

Assuming your team is already built, there isn't some way you can log in to WIS for the 5 seconds it will take to submit it?

# ? Mar 1, 2012 23:21

Okay, I entered the team. I'm still counting down the days until they get the filter to block WiS.

Once they do, just use a proxy, PM me for details of running an SSH server at home, and using PuTTy to establish a tunnel via SSH to it. This has the added bonus of encrypting all your web traffic over the tunnel so your IT department will have no way of knowing what the gently caress you're doing over it.

Awwww gently caress. Mhogan claimed one of the final spots. Of course he's in the same division with me and toadee, too.

I mean, my team isn't winning poo poo and is purely experimental so that's no big deal but drat that doesn't help toadee out any.

So Pitch is winning my division, right? I mean, my team's pretty much a joke anyhow, but it would've been nice to have a chance.

Let's do a gimmick goon private league, where we can just go nuts with teams like these.

This is a kind of useful crop of hitters, and the one pitcher I did calculate might actually be the best AAA pitcher i've ever had. I can't be sure until the season starts and I can see their fielding ratings, but it's either Charlie Smith or Dennis Rasmussen - both are very effective.

Coleman, Davalilo, and Smalley will also be able to help out. Not bad.

# ? Mar 2, 2012 05:59

AlleyViper: Sep 15, 2007; Oh, there's plenty of other balls in the sea. Plus, you're not very talented.

I'm totally incompetent!

It's actually 1911 Charlie Smith, and I am just fine with that. He's going to be extremely effective.

Bob Shabazz: Oct 21, 2008; At 12:17 a.m. MU police spotted Mauk, 19, run a stop sign while driving his scooter east on Kentucky Boulevard - with two female passengers on board.

Well, at least one team in my OL division is bad.

# ? Mar 2, 2012 19:08

Never seen Mhogan before, I am unfazed.

Besides Im also just playing around more with rangey people. There's so many of them!

Mhogan is one of the litany of cookie-team-submitters. This team of his isn't quite as bad as most though I'm sure it will win 100 games by virtue of being an Mhogan team.

oldfan: Jul 22, 2007; "Mathewson pitched against Cincinnati yesterday. Another way of putting it is that Cincinnati lost a game of baseball."

To be fair, both mhogan and ligapelota have worse championship to team ratios than AV and I do, and considering they play all OLs with cookie teams and we don't, that's not really that great of a thing. Unlike some dipshits (cough grizzly and gbonini cough), they tend to build balanced 90-100 win teams and not fatigue strategy postseason wrecking balls.
