 Excellent. Send down Murcer, Ted Williams into left field. On the pitching side, send down Lee Smith, Willie Hernandez, and Jeff Nelson. Goose sets up, Quiz is middle relief, Betancourt to long relief, Oh God, Hoyt Wilhelm back to second "starter."  What the gently caress. 0fer the month?! Having a team of sluggers only works if they can loving hit. Edgar takes over DH from Sammy, who moves into right field; rest DiMaggio with Lofton for the week. I guess Gibby sits for Cliff Lee.

Anyone selling SP right now? One more injury and I no longer have a rotation, so I'm kind of desperate.

Available to trade would be - Approximately one pithcer of your choosing, starting or relief. Don Mincher: a very quality platoon bat (DO NOT USE HIM AGAINST LEFTIES). An outfielder - your choice of Hamilton, Killebrew, or Beltran, depending on the amount of value you're willing to offer. Bert Campnaris/Luis Aparicio - highly effective defensive-minded backup shortstops. An okay third baseman - Either Sal Bando or Adrian Beltre, depending on your predilection towards either offense or defense. Things I need: A catcher who is competent at hitting baseballs (most pressing need!) Other than that, a high value starting pitcher, second baseman, or third baseman would also be much appreciated. OR anything that is surplus to your requirements. Thank you for your interest in acquiring Superbas players!! Nerokerubina fucked around with this message at 00:07 on Oct 16, 2012 |

  : Last time, on Dunn Force: Adam Dunn got killed by a Carl Mays pitch, so he went to Purgatory where he met Ray Chapman, the other guy Carl Mays killed. Ray Chapman as trapped in purgatory until some avenged him, so he taught Adam Dunn how to stop Carl Mays. And then Adam Dunn returned to life...somehow. Dunn Force, Episode Eight, The Pitch That Killed, Part Four So Adam Dunn has just saved Cyber-Dunn's life by bunting away one of Carl Mays' bean balls. Mays is shocked because it's generally the case that when he murders someone, that they stay dead. So he starts throwing some pitches at Adam Dunn's head, because he really wants to loving ice Adam Dunn. But, thanks to Ray Chapman's training, Adam Dunn is able to bunt them away, and then, when Mays is tired out, Dunn finishes him off with the NeyerBat, banishing him to baseball hell for all eternity. The spirit of Ray Chapman shows up to thank Adam Dunn for freeing his spirit, and then he disappears forever. Cyber-Dunn then asks Adam Dunn what the gently caress just happened, and Adam Dunn explains that he learned that sometimes, smallball IS the answer. Meanwhile, back in his evil lair, Richie Sexson is furious that Adam Dunn killed another one of his minions, and punishes the Three True Outcomes for failing him once again.Super-League VII, Smasher League Week 11: Axfooooooooooooooooord!

Box Score   Don May posted:
Box Score   Numbers!      Analysis A down week, but the Landers had a bad week too, so there's no real harm. I assume Hamilton will be replacing Jones.      Analysis Lynn time!     Analysis Finally a good week. Also, the struggles of your offense are overstated. While their batting averages are bad, their on-base percentage is okay. And yes, their power is down, but everyone's power is down this season.      Analysis .500 for life!      Analysis I have no idea how your team is making a run, but it is.      Analysis Everyone's home runs are down except for the Potatoes, who play in the relatively thin air of Moscow, Idaho.      Analysis New Jimmie Foxx already has more home runs that old Jimmie Foxx.      Analysis Joes Cronin and Morgan are nice, but only for what they can bring in when you trade them.      Analysis Ouch.      Analysis I'm not sure what the hell happened to your team. But hey, at least the Tigers are doing well.      Analysis The Mathematicians are on a hell of a run, but they're going to have to keep it up to catch the Cultists.      Analysis Start prepping the articles of dissolution!      Analysis What's wrong with Ernie Banks? I'm not sure there's a lot wrong with him, actually. His best tools were always his power and (when he was young) his ability to play shortstop. He was never a great contact hitter (career batting average of .274) nor was he great at drawing walks (career on-base of .330). He's having a down year, but it's not that bad, especially since he's still got his power hitting.      Analysis The Legacy lives on!      Analysis You need to make a trade for a better third baseman. It's not even negotiable at this point, it just needs to happen, and soon.      Analysis I'd rather use Shocker than Fister.

 : Worthless. The whole lot of 'em, mang.Simple changes: Urban Shocker gets swapped with Doug Fister. Cano gets a real short rope now that we actually put him in the lineup. Two weeks? One? No reason to tolerate failure at this point, eh. Might be time to get Indian Bob Johnson a new home up in th' countryside. He looks like he needs a wide open field to play in on Aunt Jemima's farm. He's available for anyone that wants him.

Emperors! What would it take to get your Jimmie Foxx from you? I've got Glavine or Carlton or Johnson... Johnson or Glavine would do it straight up, probably, I'd need a little more if I gave you Carlton. Perhaps a 2 for 2 so you could get an offensive player back and I can get a replacement pitcher.
