Super-League VII, Dynamo League Week 15: Leviathan Frowns

Games of the Week

ORANGES DROP SEVENTH STRAIGHT AS DERVISHES ROLL 4-1

Dubai- Nothing lasts forever, especially in Florida.

The Oranges were once considered one of the most promising expansion teams to enter the Super-League, even having the best regular season record in the Dynamo League during Super-League V, their sophomore season. But those gaudy regular season records meant nothing in the playoffs, where the Oranges have been solidly thrashed by the Finger-Bangers in each of the past two postseasons.

With their roster stagnating as division rival Rockford grows ever stronger, questions are starting to be raised about how much longer the Oranges can keep themselves afloat.

Losses like today's certainly don't help.

With today's defeat, the Oranges have now lost seven straight games, and have now dropped seven and a half games behind the losers with only eleven weeks remaining in the regular season. While it is not quite a hopeless situation, it certainly is heading in that direction.

oldskool, trying desperately to patch up his team, noted that his recent acquisition of Clemens will, "Be a turning point in the history of the Florida Oranges. I'll freely admit that our pitching has been a lot less that ideal for most of this season, but that changes today. With Roger Clemens on our team, we will have the most powerful pitching in the Dynamo League, and that is what's going to take us past those losers up in Rockford, because, I've got say, they've got the best team name in the Super-League. They do exactly as they say, they lose. Then again, what do you expect from a team based in Rockford, where the three remaining residents are all unemployed failures with nothing to live for. There's a reason that Lebron James left a city like that to come to Miami. Florida is the future of this country. We've got the climate, we've got the culture, we've got everything. And anyone who tells you different is just jealous."

The Dervishes, meanwhile, have recently regained their stride, reopening a large lead over the Generics in the new Dies Irae Division thanks to their solid lineup and fantastic team defense. Beet, one of the more taciturn owners in the Super-League, was characteristically terse in his post-game comments, "Won again. Beat Oranges. Good day."

BULLDOGS FACE PAST SINS IN ANTARCTICA, LOSE 6-2

Vostok- It was 80 degrees in the Unspecifieds' dome today.

It was 80 degrees even though the Unspecifieds' dome is located at the very coldest place on Earth during the Antarctic winter. If nothing else, that proved that, whatever his faults, blackmongoose knows how to insulate a dome.

Under the pure white dome, the Unspecifieds were able to continue their latest surge, winning the game 6-2 and moving within four and a half games of the Sic Transit Vir leading Finger-Bangers. blackmongoose, after the game, brought the reporters before his gilded throne to hear his latest address, "Members of the media, please attend me now. I do not deny that mistakes have been made before. Not my mistakes, but the mistakes came from a world that was not yet ready to hear the truth. They conspired against both previous Unspecifieds' teams. Mocked us. Buried us. But things are different now. The time to lead others to the truth is over. Now, we will force people to come face to face with their own corruption, their own deceits that lead the world to ruin. You are skeptical, though. So be it. Why not ask TKBomber what he thinks of my process?"

TKBomber was found several hours later curled up in a corner. While he was not responsive, he was heard to mutter odd and cryptic things in his delirium such as, "No, I didn't kill you Phantoms! You killed yourselves! I had no choice! You didn't give me a choice! I couldn't take you with me! I had to survive! drat you, Phantoms! Haunt me no more!"

Even worse news for the Bulldogs is that, thanks to a strong week, the Saints have moved within one game of Portland for the Memento Mori lead. The Bulldogs will play the Imperialists and Losers next, while the Saints have an easier slate of the Postmodernists and Bearers.

POSTMODERNISTS WIN AS DENNY RAINWATER DELIGHTS ALL

Poughkeepsie- It never gets any better in Poughkeepsie.

Rick Monday should have been a hero today. With the bases loaded and two outs, Monday slashed a three-RBI double to tie the game at three and give the Superbas new life in extra innings.

But then the Superbas stalled, and the Postmodernists were able to reassert themselves, scoring the winning run in the eleventh and driving the Superbas to yet another defeat.

Normally, this would be just another in a long series of soul-crushing Superbas' losses, but today was different. Because today....today Denny Rainwater pitched in a meaningful game.

No one quite knows where Denny Rainwater comes from. Some say that he drifted down from a raincloud one day. Some say that he is an amnesiac drifter, forever running away from his tragic past. Still others claim that he's just Mike Remlinger wearing a fake mustache. Either way, he has stolen the hearts of every fan, whether Postmodernists' or their opponents, with his charming innocence.

Today, Rainwater delighted the fans by pitching one scoreless inning, and then trying to shake the hand of the last hitter of the inning, seemingly unaware that such a gesture was unheard of in the middle of a game.

Superbas' fan, and professor of Russian Literature at Vassar College, Ron Minkowski compared Rainwater to a modern-day Prince Myshkin, referring of course, to the titular character of Dostoevsky's The Idiot. "Much like Myshkin, Rainwater has come from the outside of society and quickly risen to prominence thanks to utterly pure and simple nature. The only concern, of course is that, much like Myshkin, there is a chance that others may latch onto him as some sort of Christ-like figure, not realizing that, like Myshkin, [Rainwater] lacks the divine nature that would make the salvation possible, thus bringing ruin to any who would put their faith in him. While this Mr. Rainwater may appear as a savior, any who put the fate of their team on his shoulders is apt to be gravely disappointed."

The Road to Hell is paved with statistics








Analysis

Another strong run. The Unspecifieds have somehow become a pitching-and-fielding team which might not have been exactly what you had in mind, but at least it's working.









Analysis

At least Wood is almost back.









Analysis

Okay, you can put Polanco back at shortstop.









Analysis

Still cursed. But hey, at least Darrell Evans is finally having a good season!









Analysis

Still rolling! Might want to give Kamm a try at third, though, he was the best defensive third baseman of his era.









Analysis

Oranges go up, Oranges go down.









Analysis

I wonder how well the Bangers would do if they actually played their best lineup.









Analysis

Told you they had a good run in them.









Analysis

The disaster continues!









Analysis

Denny Rainwater is the end of your team.









Analysis

Can the Bulldogs hold on? Also, how come TKBomber's rotations are always so effective.









Analysis

Not happening.









Analysis

Well, think on the bright side. You have a great opportunity to win the unified European and United States titles next week.









Analysis

Roberto Hernandez is just not working out.









Analysis

It's funny the one team that doesn't really care about survival is currently safe from the Gauntlet.

We are spiraling right down to disaster given our current course. I propose we put Schilling back in for Welch given that Schilling at least got us some wins as opposed to Welch who has lost every single game so far.

In Addition we may have to let Simmons and Hack rest as they will break down otherwise and make a miserable situation worse. However we do not have a good replacement therefore I would ask one of the more proficient owners to choose players that can at least for a week play those positions.

I'll approve firing Welch into the sun. Our only real choice to rest Simmons would be to break up the RF platoon and play both Bonds and Cavaretta full-time for the week (Bonds in LF, Cavaretta in RF). As far as Hack is concerned...uh, I guess I have a young Eddie Mathews in the Generics' minors the team can buy? We literally have no depth in that position :stare:

I'd rather keep Hack playing at 3B until he falls apart than to part with Biggio, so that's a pre-emptive negative vote on such a trade. Also, our player contracts stipulate that the team retains any and all residual molecular gasses and other remnants in the event the player is to be discharged from the roster when Designated For Solar Assignment.

"Mathman's not here." "Oh? Where is he?" "He's in the Mathroom."
I propose, 3-3 tie, both Bob Welches are sent to Vice City. At this point it's probably a worse fate for them than being shot into the sun. Though, with the way my offense has been this season, two pitchers are probably somehow an offensive upgrade.

Yeah, put Schilling back in for Welch. I blame the Oranges' Welcher for giving Smasher hope he'd not be hideously bad. Cavaretta to left, Bonds to right alone for the week is totally do-able. We could also use Mays or Murphy, but they seem to have caught some rapid aging disease. Also, Cronin can play third briefly; he started a bit there late in his career, that's why we drafted him specifically.

I suggested the other way around for Bonds/Cavaretta, so if that's a deliberate decision then I'll swap my suggestion around and vote for that if there's a particular reason for it.

Rookie '86 Bonds. He'll develop fast, though, and you can play him in center field. The patience is there - no one hits for power in my park, though, because it is huge and open in Arctic Russia.

I guess I need "better than Rick Reuschel," which is not a terribly high bar, but he's worth more than Ed Summers. tatankatonk, I don't need any outfielders, and the ephemeral Buddy Bell isn't for me, either. Senerio, Red Faber and something else would be competitive, but you know he's out for the year, yes?

Feel free to look through my feeders: 1932 Reds, 1964 Orioles, 1968 Tigers, 1990 Twins, 2004 Pirates.

The list of (sometimes semi-)notable SPs who I can part with easily is: '64 Steve Barber, '64 Robin Roberts, '68 Jim Rooker, '90 Kevin Tapani, '90 Scott Erickson, and of course '04 Oliver Perez. Then of course there are the guys on my current roster, who are obviously a little dearer (well, except the two that are just random shots in the dark). But I would definitely listen.

Also, young Bonds would make my 1993 Lenny Dykstra--and perhaps even my 1990 Kirby Puckett--expendable, if you want to get an OF back as part of the package.

If I pretend to be Cthulhu no one will know I'm a baseball robot.

Can you change that to 1440x900? Also, I just need the program to take the screenshots. I don't need anything past that, as I'll be zipping the screenshots and sending them to The_Goog to write up and post.

Not easily sorry, just turn the screen res down before you run the script and back up afterwards. Fixing it to run at yur native res is ~4 hours of work and I'm busy atm.

Also I recommend just uploading it to LPix and sending the_goog the preformatted post. This will save you both some hassle.

Would you be interested in Wilbur Cooper? Another lefty to add to your pile. I have some other pieces, both deadball and modern, but they're frankly a noticeable drop in ability.
