 DL Dickey, effective from his injury, call Schnozz Lombardi back up, start old Piazza. We are certainly pleased by what is happening in the Bellhorn division. Our totem is working!

  : Well, it appears that our lineup's been sent to the barrios to learn how to hit. I don't think that makes a lot of sense, unless Johnny wants them to be beaten up by gangs or something.Amos Otis is only a 72, which is a bit disappointing. Thought he was solid enough to have a place on a bench as a pinch hitting power bar or pinch runner. Not worth the challenge, since his role is pretty much what it's going to be. I would challenge Cano/Bob Johnson/Ken Williams, because they should be considerably better offensively, but it looks like after tomorrow's update they'll be out the door instead. Mornacale! I still am interested in moving Doug Fister, but I was looking over your feeder teams and I couldn't seem to find a center fielder/left fielder/shortstop that you're not using that would be an offensive upgrade over Johnson/Williams/Tony Fernandez. Jason Kendall from the 2004 Pirates is intriguing to replace Whitt on the bench but I don't know if I'd want to move Fister for him, especially considering the way his ankle blew up that one time in real life and how Mogul would reflect that. Let me know what you are willing to do!

 If only I could start Romo and ship Lincecum off to relief. As it is my best pitcher is Babe Adams, which if nothing else is a good lesson for new owners on the overall ratings not being everything. Oh well. Klein back in at RF for Beltran, also, as much as it pains me, Sweeney in for Posey. With things as they are young Sweeney is apparently a better catcher, which is demoralising to say the least. Revenant Threshold fucked around with this message at 18:00 on Oct 18, 2012 |

Smasher League Week 13 Injury Report Still no new champions Norfolk Splinter Cells Tommy John (SP) (Rotator Cuff) - 7 days South Bolton Eazy W's Mark Bellhorn (IF) (Dislocated Hip for your sins) - 46 days Ted Sox Rick Honeycutt (RP) (...uh...hit by zeppelin?) - 35 days Vice City Goose Eggs WEEK 13 INJURY REPORT You are sitting at your computer reading the injury report and see that one of your players is injured. Do you see that: A. JUAN MARICHAL IS OUT FOR 16 DAYS! GO TO PROMPT A B. NO, I DIDN'T READ THAT! NONE OF MY PLAYERS ARE INJURED! GO TO PROMPT B PROMPT A MARICHAL IS INJURED Bummer, eh? Anyway, with that injury, I guess it's time I got to practicing for your next obit. YOUR TEAM IS hosed SEE YOU IN SUPER-LEAGUE IX PROMPT B NO ONE IS INJURED! Ah, yes, thanks to your illiteracy, your team is saved. As your basking in your sense of relief, Marichal asks you to get him some aspirin from a cabinet. You go through the shelves but, not being able to read, you just grab some bottle that you think is aspirin. Marichal downs a whole bunch of them, and then collapses. It turns out they were sleeping pills. The doctor says he'll be out for about 16 days. YOUR TEAM IS hosed SEE YOU IN SUPER-LEAGUE IX

I'm not sure I'm willing to give up Drew for that price, because while I need a pitcher I would like to see how my runs my awful team is gonna give up before I trade away a player like Drew.

I'm willing to consider parting with Boog Powell, but he's enough of a wild card that I'd really like to see what he does in Expansion League. I think Kendall is a pretty solid catcher, enough so that I have my top two guys ('32 Lombardi and '68 Freehan) on the trading block. Messing around, he seems to grade out relatively like his real 2004 self: very good contact skills, a decent eye, no power (because of that drat injury), decent glove, reliably healthy (600+ PA every season from 2000-06).

While Jason Bay makes me ill that particular one might be enough of an upgrade over a slumping Ken Williams. Unfortunately at the moment Marichal dying for three weeks makes trading Fister a tricky proposition.

  : Previously, on Dunn Force, David Eckstein unretired as part of Richie Sexson's plot to discredit Adam Dunn, and this somehow ended with Dunn getting traded to Seattle. Dunn Force, Episode 11: The Scrapper, Part Three So, Dunn's flying to Seattle, having been trading last episode and, like everyone else who has ever had to go to Seattle, he's pretty upset about it. He heads to Safeco to meet his new team, and immediately runs into Jesus Montero, who says that the Mariners only need one DH. Dunn points out that they can just platoon, but Montero wants all of the DH at-bats. This, of course, leads to an epic batfight, as Montero proves no match for the power of the NeyerBat. Eric Wedge comes in a demands to know what's going on, and Dunn explains that the only fair way to decide who the team's DH is the ancient contest of duel in the batting cages. Wedge agrees, and sets the duel for the next day at dawn, but later amends that to noon because dawn is too drat early. Montero is angry, especially since Dunn already beat him with a bat once, and there doesn't seem like much chance that he'll do better the next day, and goes to a bar to get drunk because he's about to lose his job anyway. While he's drinking, though, who should arrive but David Eckstein, who tells Montero that he knows exactly how to handle Adam Dunn...To be ocntinued!Super-League VII, Dynamo League Week 13: Rochester, Land of Opportunity Games of the Week Don May posted:

Box Score   Numbers!       Analysis I still haven't decided about the Hornsby challenge.       Analysis Good month, even if Robin Yount is playing like a man doing his damnedest to get your team relegated.       Analysis Speaking of teams being murdered by Robin Yount... It's been a frustrating month, but, even after a month lost in the wilderness, you're still only three games out of the division lead.       Analysis There's not a lot you should be doing that you aren't. I think Valenzuela should be your #5 starter, but I concede it wouldn't make that much of a difference. Sometimes things just don't work out the way they should.       Analysis At least Ferrell's almost back, that should help. As for Oz, he is what he is. You can either tolerate his lovely hitting or not. That said, until you actually drop out of first, I'm not sure it's time to really mess around with your team.       Analysis Almost healthy and when you are, I expect your real surge against the Losers to begin in earnest. At least one division ought to have a real race.       Analysis Big Hurt and Smokey Joe are back, as if you needed the help.       Analysis You don't have a bad team, but it might not be good enough.       Analysis This was never going to work.       Analysis You have a filler player named 'Danny Rainwater', that just seems so right for your team. I imagine that he's a Christ-like figure who coalesced in a rain storm one day and tried to interact with human society, until to return back to his water form after encountering the meaningless cruelty of modern society.       Analysis Time to prove that you really deserve to win this division. Realizing that you should be platooning Lemon and Murcer would be a good start.       Analysis I still maintain that people from L.A. cannot truly appreciate hockey.       Analysis Look who's making a run! I'm not sure how you're doing it, but hey, somethings are jut inexplicable. You should swap Finley and Tiant in your rotation, though.       Analysis Bad month, still a six game lead. Such is life.       Analysis And STILL your Intercontinental Champions, the Second City Saints!       Analysis Bob Welch was never going to be your savior. Standings and Leaders

I have a surprising amount of good pitching available to trade. e: Available dudes include, but are not limited to Luis Tiant Reggie Cleveland Spaceman Lee Tom Burgmeier Howie Pollet Max Lanier Harry Brecheen Jerry Staley Al Brazle Ted Wilks I'd also be willing to trade one of Lefty Leifield, Hank Robinson or Max Carey for a top notch 3B. gardenald fucked around with this message at 02:53 on Oct 19, 2012 |

Bearers! What's the price on your Craig Biggio? I do have an Eddie Mathews that would bolster your 3B (of which you have no capable backup)...

Hate doing this, but apparently I need to use platoons to make my lineup better. Lineup vs LHP 3B Paul Molitor CF Chet Lemon RF Frank Howard 1B Mark McGuire LF Joe Medwick 2B Charlie Gehringer C Ernie Lombardi SS Alan Trammell Pitcher Lineup vs RHP 3B Jimmy Collins CF Bobby Murcer RF Dave Parker 1B Mark McGwire LF Joe Medwick 2B Charlie Gehringer C Ernie Lombardi SS Alan Trammell Pitcher For next week however, I need to rest Alan Trammell so Paul Molitor will play shortshop and bat 8th in both lineups. Thus Jimmy Collins will lead off in both lineups. TKBomber7285 fucked around with this message at 03:41 on Oct 19, 2012 |

This is getting a little dicey... Ah well. Put Wes Ferrell back at #5, please, since I'm pretty sure he'll be ready to go by the time that spot comes up again. Also, send Tom Hall down to the minors and bring Clay Carroll up in his place, I suppose. Let's see if he can't pitch another few innnings and not give up three runs. Also if you could bring Carlton Fisk up in Gene Tenace's place and have him catch Nolan, that'd be great. In any event, New and Current Owners! The Dervishes are looking to consider some deals. Pieces I'm willing to move include 1975 C Carlton Fisk, a top 10 catcher of all time, and 1973 1B/3B Tony Perez, both legitimate Hall of Famers, and many others, if the offer is right. The only things I'd consider untouchable at this juncture are 1973s Johnny Bench and Joe Morgan, but I might be swayed by an impressive offer. I look forward to hearing from you all. Edit: my primary interest is a high quality SS, basically pre-85 Yount or better. Beet fucked around with this message at 03:07 on Oct 19, 2012 |

 Okay a couple of things given that I have to play 13 games straight: Platoon Yount and Ernie Banks at SS, with Yount in vs LHP Banks is already tired going into a tough stretch, so let's give him some days off. Not sure Yount will be the solution but hopefully he can give Banks some time off. Old Man Hornsby is a bigger problem, and I'm not sure the solutions are good. He's gonna get a day off, then 3 days at DH, so let's hope that's enough rest for him.

 Teams Selected: 1970 Cardinals, 2010 Mariners, 1964 Angels, 1998 Astros Team Name: New Orleans Mashers Team Logo (150x150 preferred):  Home City: New Orleans About the Team: The New Orleans Mashers are a team committed to hitting the hell out of the ball. Defense is of little concern; our pitchers plan to strike out 20 K/9, so we could probably just run out that crowd of kids they throw in the outfield of every home run derby and we'd be successful. Home Stadium: The New Orleans Megadome, a beautiful convertible dome park built at an altitude of 550 feet above sea level, as it is a park that is built on the top of a skyscraper!  550 feet above sea level? But New Orleans is below sea level! Good point, and to explain it, let's take a quick backstory into the origins of the park. When the idea of an expansion team into the SuperLeague was brought up, two competing plans were brought up: in one, the ballpark would be built at-cost by revolutionary prototype nanobots built by Louisiana Tech researchers that would be built at sea level and, if successful, bring in the state of Louisiana billions in patent licenses and revolutionize the idea of constructing buildings. The competing plan was for the local oil billionaire Jason Johns to hastily build a fuckoff huge skyscraper at taxpayer expense, plop a stadium at the top of it, and throw shops and apartments into the lower stories that Johns wholly owns. You'd think the first plan would be better off for the state of Louisiana, but Johns took the local city council out to Applebee's the day of the vote, gave them sacks of money to vote his way, and there you go.  DH Preference: Hells Yes 28-Man Roster: C Joe Torre 1B Jeff Bagwell 2B Craig Biggio 3B Chone Figgins SS Jim Fregosi LF Moises Alou CF Ichiro Suzuki RF Carl Everett C Brad Ausmus 1B Joe Adcock 1B Dick Allen 3B Bill Spiers CF Franklin Gutierrez RF Richard Hidalgo SP Felix Hernandez SP Randy Johnson SP Bob Gibson SP Steve Carlton SP Mike Hampton SP Dean Chance SP Cliff Lee RP Billy Wagner RP David Aardsma RP Shane Reynolds RP Brandon League Minors: C Mitch Melusky LF Lou Brock SP Nelson Briles 25 in the majors, 3 in the minors Lineups: CF Ichiro Suzuki 2B Craig Biggio DH Jeff Bagwell C Joe Torre 1B Dick Allen RF Carl Everett LF Moises Alou SS Jim Fregosi 3B Chone Figgins Rotation: SP Felix Hernandez SP Randy Johnson SP Cliff Lee SP Bob Gibson SP Steve Carlton Closer: David Aardsma Setup: Billy Wagner Short Relief: Dean Chance Short Relief: Brandon League Middle Relief: Mike Hampton Long Relief: Shane Reynolds Strategy (Rate on a scale from -5 to +5) Hit and Run: -4 Sacrifice Bunt: -3 Squeeze Play: -4 Trying for extra bases: +1 Stealing Bases: +1 Aggressively Tagging Up: -1 Pitch Outs (to prevent stolen bases): -2 Giving Intentional Walks: -5 Pitching Around Good Hitters: -4 Bringing the Infield In: +1 Guarding the Lines: +1 Making Cutoff Throws: +1 Bringing in Pinch Hitters: +3 Bringing in Pinch Runners: -2 Bringing in Defensive Replacements: -4 Starting Pitchers on Short Rest: -3 Letting pitchers pitch throw trouble: -4 Letting Pitchers rack up high pitch counts: +1 gently caress DEFENSE AND SMALLBALL CraigK fucked around with this message at 06:00 on Oct 19, 2012 |
