 So apparently the team stunk up the joint this week. Least I can fix the Morris problem by switching him to AAA in favor of John Candelaria.

Just checking to see if my actual lineup is the lineup I specified earlier. I didn't have Jim Rice playing at all, and I had Ichiro in LF.

 The Mooglies wager 2009 Travis Hafner and their remaining second-round Super Draft pick (theirs or the Saints, whichever is higher) on a *** challenge for 1939 Hank Greenberg. The Mooglies will not be the ones taking this challenge, however; they have contracted the services of the Ry'leh Cultists. In exchange for the Cultists taking on this challenge, the Mooglies will send 2009 Ted Lilly. I'm sure he'll fit right in with all the other Cubs and former Cubs on the Cultists.

The Super-League VII Challenge Series Contest: Your Smasher Sanity Depreciation Station So, you've gone through the dispersal draft, or you want to fix your mediocre returning team, and you're one piece away from greatness. Oh, you could wait for the Super-Draft around the midpoint of the season, but can you afford to wait? Well, if you're willing to take a risk, then maybe I can help you out... Here's how the challenge works. You put up your Super-Draft picks, or an equivalent consideration, and choose which level of challenge you want to face. You win, you get a player from that tier of prizes, you lose, I take your draft picks or whatever it is you put up. And, of course, there's nothing really stopping you from challenging more than once... To win, all you have to do is win a best-of-seven series against one of the teams listed under your chosen level of the challenge. Which team you'll be challenging will be randomly selected, so you won't know which one you'll be facing.

 I'm not worried about Yount right now, because I'm going to replace him immediately - Yount to the minors, Renteria up and starts, with a short hook in favor Polanco. I guess I should try starting Messersmith over Rapid Robert. Did '84 Tom Seaver just straight-up retire? What'd he roll?

quote:Warm Sarsaparilla is the nominal owner of the team, but he has not been heard from in some time. In the meantime, Dr. Mike Marshall, citing his doctorate in kinesiology as a qualification, has assumed command, promising that he "won't this great experiment, when the reliever is finally given his due as the true backbone of the team, end is dismal failure. Instead, we shall rise ever upwards, that the heavens themselves may look at our bullpen and weep tears of envy!" I'm here, but Marshall would be an ideal spokesman. LaRussa, too, I suspect. Since I have an all-reliever team and a tiny bench in the no-DH League, which  , is there some setting to ameliorate the horrors that will ensue? DL Montgomery, Jeff Nelson to MR, Sutter to SR, Tim Wakefield to fourth starter, which, wow, yeah, I just ordered that. Christ Almighty. I should probably try Ryno at 2B over Mazeroski, I guess. I also need to figure out who to sell Brooks Robinson or George Brett to.

It's completely irrational, but I actually have a hard time keeping track of which day to look at the thread for updates, what with there being one every day, you poor man. Loved the Don Slaught patter. And he's still hitting above .500; obviously, it's destiny. Would '95 Reggie Sanders and '54 Sal Maglie serve as collateral for '37 Red Rolfe*? I could add '78 Don Baylor as well, I suppose?

Box Score   Don May posted:
Box Score   Super-League Challenge!  : Welcome back to the Super-League Challenge, where I hate you, you hate me, and nothing good ever happens! : I don't hate you, Smasher!: Well, you should. Okay, let's get this runaway train of misery going! First up, the Madison Mudholes against the second Boston Crabs!: No music?: Soundboard's still broken.: We...could do a capella?: I didn't suffer for four years at an elite liberal arts college just to throw myself back into that! The Following is a One-Star Challenge. If the Mudholes win, they will receive '26 Urban Shocker. If they lose, they will forfeit Devon White, Edgar Renteria and a 2nd-Round Pick.   : And the Mudholes start off with a win. : And they really, really, really need to win this challenge.  : Mudholes off to a good start. It would take an epic collapse for them to lose this series. A collapse so terrible that it might cause their owner to break down in tears! : Fortunately, that's not very likely.  : And the Mudholes drop one.  : And they drop another one.  : And that's three in a row, and I suggest theacox go get himself about ten beers now, because he's going to need something to drown the sorrows if his team can't pull themselves off the ground!: But what if he's a sad drunk?  : Mudholes lose a 2nd-Round Pick, Devon White and Edgar Renteria!: But the Mudholes are a strong team, they can come back from this.: Well, it wouldn't be completely impossible, I suppose. Just mostly impossible. Okay, next up, the Mooglies have another loving challenge, because the previous hundred weren't enough, I guess. Anyway, they'll play the second Atlantis Aquamen. The Following is a One-Star Challenge. If the Mooglies win, they will receive '07 Dustin Pedroia. If they lose, they will forfeit Ozzie Smith and a 2nd-Round Pick.   : Mooglies win Game One.: This is the good Aquamen, right, because ancara22 did those...things to them, right?: For the most, part, that's right.  : Aquamen hammer the Mooglies, and the series is tied.  : Aquamen win another, and this update is starting to turn quite grim.: Have there ever been an update that featured two one-star challenge losses?: I don't think so, but there's a first time for everything...except the Macho Men losing. You hear me, Cthulhu, that is never going to loving happen!  : And things are off the rails, as the Aquamen are one game away now!  : Mooglies lose Ozzie Smith and a 2nd-Round Pick. And this has not been a good day for challenging teams.: Does this mean less challenges in the future?: I can only hope and pray that's the case. Let's just move on. The Superstars are going to take on the Senadores in yet another challenge made by a member of the Rated R Syndicate. The Following is a Two-Star Challenge. If the Superstars win, they will win '96 Matt Williams. If they lose, they will forfeit Troy Glaus and a 2nd-Round Pick and Three Ratings Challenges.   : Superstars win Game One. Only three more games until they get Matt Williams!: Is that good?: Kind of.  : Senadores tie the series up. The biggest story of Matt Williams was that, but for the 1994 strike, he might have beaten Roger Maris' record.: That's impressive, right?  : Superstars take another. And, I don't know, it would be a lot more impressive if not for the whole McGwire thing a few years later. I mean, Sammy Sosa hit more that 61 home runs three times in his career.: But didn't Sosa and all of those guys do a ton of steroids and stuff?  : Senadores tie the series at two games apiece. And yeah, they all used PEDs, but Williams...well, he wasn't really that good of a hitter. He could hit home runs, sure, but apart from that season, he never hit over 40 home runs in any one season. And he never drew more than 43 walks in a season. His career OBP was .317. In fact, even in that 1994 season, when he might have hit more than 61 home runs with a full season, he only had a .319 OBP.   : Superstars up 3 games to 2 now. So, even if he had won the home run title in '94, he wouldn't have been near the level of Ruth, or even Maris. : Oh.  : But Williams is the Superstars' problem now! Okay, time for the main event. The Landers wanted a five-star challenge, and they're going to get one against the...Doppel-Bangers! The Following is a Five-Star Challenge. If the Landers win, they will receive '16 Walter Johnson. If they lose, they will forfeit Bobby Doerr and Francisco Liriano.   : I don't think this is going to take long, Doppels already ahead one.  : Hey, the Landers won one! They have a chance!: Do they?  : 1!  : 2!  : 3! And the Doppels win another challenge, and the Landers lose Bobby Doerr and Francisco Liriano! And that's it for tonight! NUMBERS!      Analysis Mark Grace: Still your second-best hitter. Probably because most of your other hitters are past-their-primes.      Analysis THE Thornton Lee probably needs a bigger role in your rotation.      Analysis Great offense, terrible run prevention. This should not be a shock to anyone.      Analysis What has happened to the Phoenixes?      Analysis And that is why I didn't let you trade Ozzie Smith last night.      Analysis As I've stated before, my vengeance will be eternal. Hope your computer gets fixed soon!      Analysis Powered by Fresca!      Analysis I'm not sure I understand why you made the challenge you did. Granted, Doerr was superfluous, but still, a five-star challenge doesn't exactly have a high chance of success.      Analysis Okay, things have not well. Fortunately for you, I've decided to be a little less subtle in my advice for you. GET BETTER PITCHERS! NOW! DO IT NOW! WHY AREN'T YOU GETTING BETTER PITCHER RIGHT NOW! DO IT!      Analysis How long can the Cells keep this up? Looking at their rotation, I would err on the side of probably not.      Analysis Lincecum disappoints in every reality!      Analysis Is Matt Williams the answer? gently caress no!      Analysis Okay, now I'm starting to get worried that I might have lost my handle on the Cultists, especially since I'm pretty sure the plan I posited in the Game of the Week is your actual scheme.      Analysis  : It's we! : It's we! : It's the Le-ga-cy!     Analysis And reality comes crashing down.      Analysis Please don't relegated. I still don't know what the Slaught-Lee Mosiac is!

Great Googly-Mooglies: Well, we lost Ozzie and a pick, which sucks, but at least we swept the Superstars and performed well in the league. Good week! - 1911 Stuffy McInnis replaces 1989 Ozzie Smith on the roster (Smith lost to the ether) - Please set defensive replacement sliders to -1. Rated R Superstars: Well, we got swept by the Mooglies and didn't perform well in the league, which sucks, but at least we added Matt Williams, on whom I'm much higher than Smasher. Good week! - 1996 Matt Williams replaces 2009 Troy Glaus on the roster (Glaus sent down to the minors) - Williams also replaces 2009 David Freese in the lineup, playing third and batting 7th against righties and lefties.

 Super-League VII, Dynamo League Week 4: Bernie Williams wasn't really that good! Games of the Week Don May posted:
Box Score   Don May posted:
Box Score   From the desk of Alisdair Allenby-Asquith, the 17th Viscount Slim posted:
Box Score   Super-League Challenge! : Welcome to another edition of Super-League Challenge. I no longer want to be alive. Joining me now, one of the major reasons I'm suicidal, Adam "The Chosen" Dunn! : That's right, Smasher, and I'm here today to continue building support for me getting a talk show on Channel Awesome. You know, with the retirement of the Nostal-: Let's just get this over with. We've only got two challenges today because I've decided to defer the Mooglies' final challenge until...I don't know, I feel like doing it, I guess. Not that I get to avoid the Mooglies entirely, of course, because we've got a challenge from them against the Paris Postmodernists right now! The Following is a Two-Star Challenge. If the Mooglies win, they will receive '01 Mike Mussina. If they lose, they will forfeit Dick McAuliffe and Alex Avila.   : Mooglies take Game 1, and I know that I'm hoping for a quick series here. Not that I don't find the umpteenth low-level Mooglies challenge to be enthralling.: See, Smasher, that's where you're wrong. If you're on the internet, you're obligated to run anything that's even slightly popular into the ground. It's your duty as an American!  : Postmodernists tie it up. Of course they do. And aren't a lot of internet personalities not American?: Naw, they're all American, some of 'em just have fake accents to draw in more viewers.  : Mooglies take another lead.: I mean, any loser with a neutral American accent can start an internet review show, but if you've got an accent, you're special!  : Postmodernists tie it up, and this is going seven games, isn't it?: Anyway, what you need to be a good internet reviewer is to make sure you're the top dog. It's kind of like prison rules.  : Postmodernists taking the Moogs to the brink! And prison rules?: Right, you've got to make sure that you're the baddest dude on the cellblock. Anyone comes after you, even a little bit, and you've got to level them. Huh. Maybe it's more like high school rules.   : Moogs tie the series up again, and we'll go to a Game 7.: Smasher, the key is that you've got to make everyone on the internet afraid to gently caress with you and your fans. You've got to get yourself a posse of mindless followers and then launch them at anyone who talks even a tiny amount of poo poo about you. Every guy on the internet has to build a cult of personality or else he ain't going anywhere.  : Moogs win Mussina. : I mean, Smasher, that's what's holding the Super-League back. You've got to get yourself some mindless followers.: I used to have dreams of building a cult of personality. But now, I'm just too tired. Much too tired. Okay, we've got one last challenge for today, and it's the much-delayed Goose Eggs challenge against the...Detroit Original Riots. The Following is a Three-Star Challenge. If the Goose Eggs win, they will receive '10 Robinson Cano. If they lose, they will forfeit Frank Tanana, Glenn Davis and a 2nd-Round Pick.   : Goose Eggs win Game 1.: You seem a bit down, Smasher.  : I'm fine. Riots tie up the series.  : Goose Eggs retake the series lead.: Well, you know, Smasher, it could always be worse!  : Goose Eggs take a 3-1 lead, and let's hope they can close this out quickly.: I mean, it may seem like your life is bad now, but you might someday look back on this time in your life and remember how awesome it really was.  : Riots win Game 5, and the Goose Eggs now have a 3-2 series lead. And Dunn, don't become a motivational speaker.  : Goose Eggs win Cano. And we're done here. And Dunn, if you think of making a 'dunn' pun based on that, I will break you.: But it's my trademark!: Well, that will do it for Super-League Challenges this update. Please stop making challenges. For my sake, if nothing else.Fun with Numbers!      Analysis Call me old-fashioned, but I don't know that Sam '97 career home runs' Crawford has enough power to play left field for you.      Analysis You might be wondering how long will Adam Dunn keep hitting under .240. The answer is 'forever'. He will hit under .240 forever.     Analysis Bagwell is back, and the Imperialists are in the Memento Mori Division lead again, It's like Super-League VI never ended for you guys.      Analysis I think Billy Herman deserves to play regularly, but I'm not quite sure at what position.      Analysis Walks + Defense = Victory!      Analysis No wildcard this time, so the Oranges are going to need to wake up a little sooner this season if they want to make the playoffs.      Analysis Only a couple more weeks and the Bangers will have held the European Championship for a full season.      Analysis I guess the question you have to ask yourself is whether, all things being considered, you could have expected your pitching rotation to be better than they are in real life. I don't know that you can. Sure, Ryan should be doing better, but Tanana? He's been up and down in the Super-League, even with the Skyhawks. Reuschel? Always more of an innings-eater than a guy with quality stuff. Rijo? Basically done by 1995. Antonelli? Well, if you're counting on him to be your saving grace, then something's gone awry, hasn't it? Still, the season's just begun and you know what you need to fix. Get it done.     Analysis How are they sticking around .500?      Analysis Progress!     Analysis Given how the Bulldogs are doing, I see another alt account in TKBomber's future.      Analysis I will grant you that Don Mincher still has the highest OBP of your starting lineup, but it's only .329, and if Don Mincher has the highest OBP on your team, things aren't going well for you.      Analysis I'm not sure what's wrong with your team. I don't think Dykstra is the answer, though.      Analysis Turns out that once you get him away from the Bronies, Satchel Paige is a fantastic pitcher.      Analysis How could you turn your back on Doc McMahon?      Analysis Well, at least Ted Simmons is almost back! Standings and Leaders

Victory! Woo-hoo! Let's have Mussina replace 1911 Stuffy McInnis on the roster, and rework the pitching rotation to look like this: SP1. Chief Bender SP2. Cliff Lee SP3. Chief Bender SP4. Mike Mussina SP5. Mel Harder LR Bill Lee MR Lloyd Brown SR Joe Smith SR Justin Masterson SU Kerry Wood CL Kerry Wood Hopefully Harder won't mind being pushed back a turn and having the AI skip his starts whenever it can. If he's mad now, he's gonna be even more pissed when Verlander gets back!

Put Fister back in the rotation in Grimes' spot now that he's back, and please tell Hornsby that he's actually a good hitter and should not have an average under .200
