Igniting St. Bellhorn's funeral pyre."

: And today, on Thanksgiving, I am thankful for Babe Ruth being the best hitter ever, Greg Maddux not dicking me over this year. The Luna Landers for collapsing so profoundly down the stretch, which in turn, allows me to be grateful for being the Television, Heavyweight, Senor Goodtimes and reigning Super-League champion.

: I'm Jack McDowell, and I'm thankful for the fact that we made the playoffs, also that since we play in the U.K., that I don't have to deal with Thanksgiving anymore.

: Hold the gently caress on! Where the gently caress is your loving Thanksgiving spirit?

: Listen, Mark, I'm just not big on-

: No, gently caress that! I am going to fill you with Thanksgiving spirit if it loving kills you! And I'm not going to do it alone! Johnny loving Hopp! Present yourself!

: ...

: Okay, let's loving do this!

Wrigley Field
Chicago, IL

Game 1

: Lesson #1 of Thankgiving: you've got to pretend to be thankful even when you aren't, and you aren't going be thankful most years, because the world is a lovely place to live.

: gently caress, that is not how I wanted us to start this series.

: Yep, you're gonna lose this series badly. But, you know what, on Thanksgiving, you've got to learn to bury those disappointments, and pretend that your life isn't just some sort out of control carwreck where you're about to go to jail because the loving cops nailed you for a second DUI and-

: Uh, this is getting oddly specific, is there something you want to-

: No! gently caress you! Next lesson!

Game 2

: Lesson #2 of Thanksgiving: When they ask you what you're thankful for, and you have nothing, and Jack McDowell, looking at this boxscore, this certainly applies to you and your loser-rear end team.

: Oh, gently caress.

: Yeah, 'gently caress'. But, even when your life sucks, people are still going to ask what you're thankful for, and you can't tell them to go to hell, because they'll get pissy about that. So, when they ask, you tell them that you're thankful for your friends and family, even though most of those assholes don't really care about you.

: I'm kind of more concerned about the fact that we're done 0-2 in this best-of-five series. Maybe we'll have better luck in Bolton.

Memourial Coliseum
Bolton, England

Game 3

: Oh, yeah! Thanksgiving lesson #3: Be thankful that you've got a nice long offseason to reflect on how hard I just kicked your sorry rear end all over the world! Josh Hamilton series-winning home run in the top of the ninth! How does that feel, W's? That's for Super-League III, you assholes!

: Didn't even get a chance to start one game...

: No, you loving didn't! And the good news keeps coming, because you and the Cultists will get to be divisionmates next season! This was your last best chance to win a championship, and you blew it! The Bobbleheads are going to repeat, you motherfuckers! Happy loving Thanksgiving! Johnny Hopp, play the music!

: ...

: That's right, assholes, we are everything you want, we are everything you need, we are everything inside of you that you wish you could be!

: I can't believe that we lost to a team that celebrates by listening to mediocre pop music from 2000. This is the worst Thanksgiving ever.

: Come on, Jack, this is only the worst Thanksgiving so far, next year could be way worse! Good night!

Cthulhu Dreams: Dec 11, 2010; If I pretend to be Cthulhu no one will know I'm a baseball robot.

Can the pucky underdogs overcome the team with better defence, hitters and pitchers in a seven game series? Will the evil tornado empire flame out when their hitters face a real team? Find out in the:

:siren:

Orange League Divisional Series

quote:

Game One - Cancun

The Tornadoes quickly put their mark on the series, demonstrating that Dave McNally was not going to be the pitcher to keep them in check, Tris Speaker doubling, Jackie Robinson demonstrating the aggressive base running he was renowned for to make a close play the second sack to swap places with Tris, then Duke Snider coming up with a 2 RBI blast over straight away centrefield.

While the Bloggers came back in the 5th inning with Luis Aparicio getting on base with a single to get string together 4 sequential hits against Iron Man McGinnity, the Tornadoes hit back in the 7th with 8 hitters getting on base - Campanella and Duke Snider both drawing walks with the bases loaded! Dave McNally was experiencing and unexpected loss of control, a common theme in both divisional races!

Demoralised, the Bloggers offense collapsed and Mike Magnante struck out Barry Bonds with an 83 MPH fastball on a 2-2 count for the final out of the game.

Can the bloggers possible come back? While they showed some promise, the were not in the same class as the Tornadoes lineup.

quote:

Game 2 - Cancun - Tornadoes lead 1-0

With Mickey Lolich taking the mound against Tom Hughes, the Bloggers were probably favourites into this match. Despite giving up 14 hits and two walks to the Bloggers lineup, Hughes managed to bear down in critical situations, escaping several bases loaded jams to only concede two runs. However, his hitters couldn't come through with any run support, and the Bloggers tied the series up 1 - 1 at a trot, looking ahead to the home games at LiveJournal Stadium.

quote:

Game 3 - The Intertubes - Series tied 1-1

There is an argument that Lefty Grove is the greatest pitcher of all time. He lead the league in ERA 8 times playing in a hitters park. Today it was not to be, and he got shelled by the Bloggers. First he let Kirby Puckett score on a Barry Bonds single, then in the disastrous fourth innings, he gave up two singles, a Barry Bonds walk to load the bases, a sacrifice fly, a walk to George Grantham to reload the bases, and a 3 RBI double to Kent Hrbek.

The Cancun hitters just couldn't come back from that.

quote:

Game 4 - The Intertubes - Bloggers lead 2-1

Determined to recover the series, the Tornados brought their game faces today. The game opened with Joe Kelley getting a single, advancing to 2nd on a hit and run, then stealing third before getting come on a Campanella double for an early lead.

After a shaky start and extricating himself from a jam in the 2nd with minimum damage, Stan Coveleski pitched a beauty, never letting another Bloggers hitter get to second base.

Offensively, it was all happening for the Torandoes, building on the first inning and feasting on a combination of poor pitching and atrocious defence, three critical errors letting runners on base, setting up big scores in the 3rd and 8th innings.

quote:

Game 5 - Bloggosphere - Series tied 2-2

With Iron Man McGinnity taking the mound, the Tornado were determined to take the lead in the series. With the Iron Man himself pitching brilliantly to hold the Bloggers to just two runs, he decided to give himself some run support: leading the way with an RBI single in the second, then a two RBI single in the 6th after a Joe Cronin and Riggs Stephenson got into scoring position, it seemed as though the man was determined to win the ball game single handedly. Shame into action the rest of the Tornandos lineup mounted a mighty rally in the 7th. Forsaking the long ball, they lead off with a Joe Kelley walk, a Jackie Robinson double, a Duke Snider triple, another walk and two more singles to drive home 5 runs.

quote:

Game 6 - Cancun - Tornadoes lead 3-2

While both teams in this series have great power hitters, all the games so far have been defined by sequential offense based off stealing and walks. 4 out of a 5 GWRBI have been from walks or singles, and this game was to prove no exception, the Bloggers forcing game 7 with a Boog Powell pinch hitting single in the 9th triumphing over two big home runs from Duke Snider.

With Lefty Grove taking the mound for game 7 against the Blogger's leftie heavy lineup, the Tornadoes have to be in with a solid chance, but this is closer than anyone expected.

quote:

Game 7 - Cancun - Series tied 3-3

Lefty Grove is one of histories greatest pitchers, and today he pitched a complete game after being left in by the manager. No-one is to sure why the manager left him in. Why would you leave a man in in the 8th after he's already a surrendered three hits, a walk to Barry Bonds and an RBI walk to Graham Grantham?

Unfortunately, events were further compounded by a fatal throwing error by Riggs Stephenson to let Luis Aparicio get to 2nd base and two more runs score. With Stu Miller pitching shutout ball, the Torandoes squandered their chances and surrendered their series to the Bloggers, going meekly into the night, defeated.

Analysis

Tough beat Cancun - you had to be the favorite to win this, and things like Lefty Grove's inexplicable meltdowns in both games cost you heavily

:siren:

Bloggers and Providence Barons

I need any changes you have for the EC Cup Match.

Barons: Babe Adams is right to go - Dwight Evans is out until game 6 with a broken finger. Who takes RF?

Bloggers: You can either have McNally or Dobson start game 1, Lolich is tired and needs to wait for game 2.

Tough series, Ultimo. Outscored me by 9, but I guess I've been over my Pythag all year. :v:

I assume the EC Finals are 2-3-2 also, with the only days off on the travel days? If I remember correctly, Providence has home field? AFCS is a high-dinger park, correct?

Is Pappas able to start game 2, or do I have to stick with the same rotation as before?

Results

Shockingly, the only good team out of these four managed to dominate the round. Anyway, now that you've had two rounds to see how badly Jack Scott can gently caress you over, why not use Jason Schmidt as your 5th starter so I don't wince when I input your rotation?

Not the most convincing win in the history of the Gauntlet, but the Cells will live to fight another day, and if they can survive the next round, they'll be halfway to their goal of surviving into next season.

Here's something unfortunate: Postmodernists aren't really as big on dramatic irony as other types of writers. And that's a shame, because the irony of you trading Barry Bonds to the Unicorns, who almost single-handedly killed your team by going 10-4 against you in the Gauntlet, in a round you only lost by one game? That's some pretty delightful irony right there.

But it's not really postmodern, is it?

The Intercontinental Title is vacated! The vacant title will be awarded to the winner of the Gauntlet!

No, but you know what is? Bonds was outperformed by Cede�o, who was a throw-in in the same trade, if one suited to the team. Meanwhile, it turns out Fernandomania was best left relegated to the dustbin of the early 80s.

There is no absolute truth in baseball. Or crying, I hear.

Expansion Owners!

Give me your draft preferences!

There's really no wrong way to list your preferences, just keep in mind that asking for "Best Player Available" means that I'll use my judgment, which might not be the same as yours.

And we're not doing this live, because a bunch of you guys haven't been around in weeks, and I don't feel like waiting on you.

Well, that playoff series ended well for me.

Here's picks for the next round of the Gauntlet:

Splinter Cells
Unicorns

And then for the draft. If I somehow manage to win the extra pick:

1st round: Best hitter overall.
Sandwich pick: Best C overall.
2nd round: Best SS overall. Robin Yount over A-rod, if they're both still available.
3rd round: Best 3B overall. If the best available according to your ranks is 74 Ron Cey or lower, then go with the best relief pitcher overall.

And in the much more likely event that I don't:

1st round: Best hitter overall.
2nd round: Best C overall.
3rd round: Best SS overall. Robin Yount over A-rod, if they're both somehow still available.

Draft Priorities
These priorities are for any picks I get:
1) Any super elite player who I would be insane not to pick
2) SS better than '64 Aparicio¹
3) 1B better than '90 Hrbek
4) 3B better than '64 Robinson¹
5) 2B better than '32 Grantham¹
6) best available RP²

At any pick, if the best SP available² is better than the pick that would otherwise be indicated above, take the SP instead (if an SP has already been selected, then don't take a second unless he's better than Dave McNally).

_{_{1 Keeping in mind that infield defense is important for me.

2 Keeping in mind that groundball pitchers gain an advantage from my superior infield defense.}}

If I get time, I'll make lists of specific guys I think fit #2-#5 to make your life easier.

Also, anyone who wants my 2nd or 3rd-round draft picks (since I have no first-rounder), you can see above who I'm targeting. Convince me that whatever you're offering is better than what I'd probably get in the draft and the pick is yours.

Finally, gingemidget, I believe you will find that you missed my picks for the most recent Gauntlet round and hence I should have more points. Unless I'm confused and/or stupid.

Sunday, April 21st, late morning pre-game

It was one of those mornings: cold sweat, crusted eyes, searing pain behind his temples, and absolutely no recollection of the previous night. Unpleasant, but nothing out of the ordinary for Ryan Braun. After all these years, he was finally getting used to the price. Now it was just a matter of recalling what he'd been told, before it slipped from his mind.

He sat up, took a deep, cleansing breath, cast his thoughts back over the previous night's dreams, and collapsed screaming to the floor.

After a few minutes of lying there, he felt almost strong enough to maybe stand up, though when he tried to do so he regretted it deeply. He also found some room in his heart to regret leaving the pain killers in the bathroom rather than bedside. But what he regretted most of all was that he was going to have to tell The Man what had happened.

Sunday, April 21st, evening post-game (W's 5, Mudholes 2)

"I don't know what you think I can do for you," said The Man. "This kind of stuff is your thing, not mine. I just hit the ball and occasionally kill vampires."

"I don't have anyone else to turn to," said Ryan. "You're the only other person I know with even a touch of The Gift. And it's not like we haven't worked together before."

"All I can see is what pitch is coming next, and even then, it's only accurate about a third of the time. You know I'd help you if I could, but I just don't see what I could do for you," said The Man, but he grabbed a chair and settled down anyways. "Still, you might as well talk me through it. Who knows? Maybe brainstorming will help."

"Well, it was like... a blurred cacophony. Like there were dozens of dreams trying to get through all at once, but none of them could get through because the others were all in the way. Made my head feel like it was about to go all Scanners. And with it, the worst case of deja vu ever. Like, it's all happened before, and I just can't remember it, and it's all going to happen again, and there's nothing I can do to stop it if I can't even see the dream, and sorry I'm kinda freaking out here!"

"Calm down, son, calm down. We'll work this thing out. Sounds like your first step is finding some other way for the message to get out, if it can't get out in your dreams. How about Automatic Writing? Worked a charm when we teamed up to take down that robotic Charlie Gehringer."

"Didn't that turn out to be the real Charlie Gehringer?"

"Yeah, but we killed the gently caress out of him, so it must've worked."

Monday, May 6th, late morning pre-game

Ryan woke with a shriek of pain. He'd known the dreams would come back again sooner or later. He knew without even looking back at them that they were the same confused jumble as last time. But this time, he was ready. He fumbled for the notepad, blanked his thoughts as best he could, and scribbled madly. When he was done, he tossed the pad aside, having developed a far more intense interest in some pain killers than the mystery.

Once he felt vaguely human, he picked up the pad. As expected, most of it was utter nonsense. But the longer he stared at it, the more he was drawn to the belief that there was a message underlying the madness. It wasn't long before the message crystallized:

PROTECT THE MIDDLE

Monday, May 6th, evening, post-game (Potatoes 7, Mudholes 5)

"Mystery begets mystery, that's how this business works," said The Man. "It's not like this is our first rodeo. We'll figure this one out, same as always. Heh, remember when Don Sutton refused to throw a fastball until we'd solved that Tower of Hanoi?"

"Yeah, it was the best game he ever pitched. We should've left it for that knucklehead Sheffield to solve; Sutton would be unhittable."

"Could be a Cardinals thing. St. Louis is pretty close to the center of the US, isn't it? And we have a Cardinals feeder."

"But why would we have to protect the Cardinals? Weren't you guys pretty good that year?"

"Yeah, we were. But I hear tell Smasher Dynamo isn't much of a Cardinals fan. Maybe that has something to do with it?"

"Maybe it has to do with the increased polarization of politics in modern American society?"

"That reminds me. What year is it, exactly? Sometimes it feels like the early 21st century, sometimes it feels like a post-apocalyptic nightmarish dreamscape several centuries in the future."

Friday, July 26th, late morning pre-game

It had been nearly three fruitless months. The busy Super League travel schedule had limited their investigation potential, but The Man had looked into the St. Louis connection to the best of his ability. Unfortunately, nothing had come of it. Ryan, for his part, dug deep into other possible meanings for "middle", including a thorough interrogation of middle reliever Bob Lemon, but had learned little except that Bob Lemon isn't really all that good a pitcher in the Super League.

For a time, it seemed as if the dreams were content with the investigation, even if it went nowhere. But eventually, they did come back. Braun stared at the notepad. This time, the message was clear as day and unmistakable:

CHASE THE RABBIT

Friday, July 26th, evening post-game (Bobbleheads 9, Mudholes 4)

"It's gotta be Hopp. He was on the '43 Cardinals, wasn't he?" Ryan asked The Man.

"Oh, no question, it's Hopp. But why? Johnny hit .224 that year, he was just a kid. He wasn't ready for the Super League," said The Man.

"We both know there's more to Hopp than his bat," Ryan said.

"Oh sure, sure, there's the multi-billion dollar entertainment property. But that has nothing to do with us. And besides," said The Man, "Hopp is dead. Marauder killed him. Years ago."

"But it all fits! 'Protect the Middle' means St. Louis, Johnny Hopp was on that St. Louis team. He's clearly what we're supposed to protect! I think we're supposed to track him down and bring him back!"

"Look, we can't just go around bringing rabbits back to life! Maybe if it was Easter we could improvise something. But in July? No way. Once you go loving around with that stuff out of season, you're into Necromancy territory."

"poo poo, I let my Necromancy license lapse a few months ago. Figured I wouldn't need it in the Super League, what with the eternal youth and all."

"There's another thing that's bothering me," said The Man.

"I think we have enough to worry about already," said Braun.

"Was Johnny Hopp always a rabbit? I seem to recall an ugly dude with a crooked nose," said The Man.

Tuesday, August 13th, evening post-game (Goose Eggs 12, Mudholes 2)

"That's, it, I'm through. Done. No more loving mysteries," said The Man.

"But I think I've got a bead on where Marauder buried Hopp's skull!" said Ryan.

"gently caress that, we have more important things to worry about. Have you noticed?"

"Noticed what?"

"We're like, 50 games out of first place. We're careening towards the Gauntlet. We're going to loving die, Ryan. I can't take this anymore. I have to concentrate on playing ball. I can't, I can't handle the whole Dispersal Draft thing. I'm too loving good to be dispersed!" shouted The Man.

"Look, there are more important loving things going on than loving baseball. We've got some kind of weird mystery thing going on, and that always means some hell dimension is about to invade, or someone's building a robot army, or the Republicans control congress. And here you are spewing some selfish bullshit about saving your own life? I thought you were better than that," said Ryan. "I thought... I thought you were The Man."

"Yeah, well, you're The Man now, Braun. Because I loving quit."

Sunday, September 29th, morning pre-game

Time was up. Hopp was clearly beyond his reach forever. The Middle remained unprotected, whatever it may have been. All that was left was to suck it up and face his death with dignity. Which is why it was a shame that the searing pain behind his temples had left him with a very undignified case of the dry heaves.

The dreams had one last message for him.

FLORIDA SEALS YOUR FATE

Sunday, September 29th, late evening post-game (69-93 record, gauntlet bound)

Braun kicked down the door, stormed into the apartment, and slammed Al Leiter against the wall.

"What are you doing here, Mr. Braun?" asked Leiter in a quiet monotone.

"What are you loving up to, Leiter? I know it was you, Sheffield doesn't have the brains and Kevin Brown's too big a coward," said Braun.

"It seems you've put together many of the pieces, Mr. Braun. But I don't believe you have the whole story. Why, pray, do you even want to stop us?"

Ryan flung Leiter to the floor and pulled out his gun. "You see, it took me far too long to work this out. But the Mudholes have been doomed from the start, and it all goes back to the Marlins. I should have seen it so much earlier, but it really is all about the Middle. The middle of the field, the middle of the rotation. The team was never built right to survive."

"An interesting perspective, Mr. Braun, but--"

"I'm not finished," continued Braun. "Because the Mudholes committed a far worse crime. 'Chase the Rabbit', you see. The Mudholes were boring. It was just a bunch of adequate but not great ballplayers battling it out with the other relegation fodder for the priviledge of an early Gauntlet exit. They had no heart, they had no soul. They were a lot like your Marlins in that regard. And that's why Smasher Dynamo is pawning off our obituary on his 'B' Team writer."

"Congratulations, Mr. Braun. Well put indeed. But there is still one thing you haven't accounted for: our Device."

"Your 'Device' won't do you any good where you're going," said Braun, cocking his gun.

"Perhaps you should listen a little closer, Mr. Braun. I said our Device. Doctor Nen! Begin the Procedure!" A mad cackle erupted from the other room, accompanied by the unmistakable whirr of machinery.

Ryan said, "What? No! I was so close!"

"Very close indeed, Mr. Braun. But once again, someone has underestimated the Marlins," said Leiter. "However, do not fear. This is no mere Doomsday Device. Oh, no. Thanks to this machine, you will get a second chance. We'll all get a second chance."

Braun's eyes grew wide as understanding dawned. "You... you fool! You've doomed us for all eter--"

Sunday, April 21st, late morning pre-game

It was one of those mornings: cold sweat, crusted eyes, searing pain behind his temples, and absolutely no recollection of the previous night. Unpleasant, but nothing out of the ordinary for Ryan Braun. After all these years, he was finally getting used to the price. Now it was just a matter of recalling what he'd been told, before it slipped from his mind.

Those are round four picks, the last update was for Gauntlet round three (it's always the Gauntlet round before whichever playoff series, so those picks will go with the Dervishes/Bangers series tonight).
