 Super-League VIII, Smasher League Week One: You Can Check Out Any Time You'd Like, But You Can Never Leave! Games of the Week Don May posted:
Box Score   Don May posted:
Box Score   Television Title Defenses!  : And it's time for the first Television title defense of the season! The Mathematicians won a tournament for the vacant title over the off season, and they'll look to retain against the Hartford Whalers. : You ever been to Hartford, Smasher?: I've driven through it a few times. To be honest, that was enough. Let's get started! Carlton will pick up the first win of the series for the Whalers.: And, just looking at the lineups, the Mathematicians' lineup is just not as strong against left-handed pitchers, and with the Whalers having two Carltons in their rotation, that could be a real problem. : And the Whalers will pick up the win and the Television Title here, as Bob Gibson narrowly outduels Matt Cain to win the series for the Whalers.: Rough start for the Mathematicians, as they lose two games by two runs. Heartbreaking. : And the Whalers will make a statement here by completing the sweep.: Three one-run losses by the Mathematicians, and that will drive an owner crazy. The Mathematicians just had no answer to Steve Carlton, and it cost them their Television Title.: Anything the Mathematicians can take away from this loss?: Well, Smasher, I would say the biggest problem for them is that they do seem to be a bit weak against lefties, but they did almost win both of the games Carlton started, so it's probably just something to watch for going forward, to see if it's a real problem, or if it's just statistical noise. : And that will do it for us this week. To recap, the Whalers sweep the Mathematicians 3-0 and take the TV title. Their first defense will be at the Suicides and, pending the results, we'll see either Whalers-Failures or Suicides-Air Raids later that week. You...might want to miss this one!Team Statistics      Analysis The Landers are tough. Losing a series to them isn't a big deal. Brave heart, Barons.      Analysis So, you might be wondering why Quentin didn't play this week. Thing is, he did, going 0-12 with 2 GiDPs. Ouch.      Analysis It's only one week.      Analysis Evil does have its rewards.      Analysis First expansion team to win a title. Congrats. Now if only you could get one more real outfielder, you'd really be on to something.      Analysis Big Oh!      Analysis The good news is that the Landers will get to establish their dominance early, by taking on the Biosparks and Gumshoes next week. The bad news is that they're still starting Tejada.      Analysis The Cultists are a tough team, and you were on the road. These things happen.      Analysis Now that is impressive. 2-1 at South Bolton? Good start.      Analysis Tragedy in Milton Keynes!      Analysis Failure!      Analysis Exactly as planned.      Analysis I'm not sure how good the Biosparks are going to end up being, but this wasn't the best start, especially since they were at home.      Analysis I keep forgetting your team has Williams and Ruth, mainly because your pitching fills me with an incredible sadness I can barely describe.      Analysis That can't have been how you wanted to start things out, but there's plenty of time to set things right.      Analysis Just to reiterate, your Whitey Ford is fine. Standings and Leaders      A. Answer the phone! 6 votes B. Get it together and shave, because Mark Grace is a classy dude, and shaving is what classy dudes do! 3 votes C. You said we had rocket cycles? I want Mark Grace on rocket cycle right now! 9 votes Mark Grace put down the razor. No one would be able to tell if he didn't shave today, and, besides, he had more pressing matters to attend to. Matters of a rocket-powered nature. Mark headed to the garage. It was time to take this up a notch. Opening the door, Grace was thankful that he had an attached garage, because it was so cold outside. While he walked, the phone continued to ring, eventually reaching his answering machine, where the caller hung up instead of leaving a message. Now Mark Grace would never know what that person had wanted to talk to him about. He approached his rocket cycle, noting with pride the flames he had painted on his ride. That's the difference between a rocket cycle and a ROCKET CYCLE, after all. Getting on the mighty machine, he opened up the garage door, letting the winter cold drift into the room. Grace smiled, it was going to get hot soon enough. He thought back to the day he had first received the rocket cycle. It was a beautiful fall day, and the Bobbleheads had just won their first Super-League Championship, toppling the Finger-Bangers in five games. The rocket cycle was waiting for him in the players' parking lot, pure white and shrouded by a light mist created by the evaporation of the liquid oxygen in its fuel tanks. He remembered tooling around Touhy Avenue at 300 mph, on-lookers craning their necks to watch him as he roared by at incredible speeds. Oh, he was far in excess of any speed limit, but what were the cops going to do? Give him a ticket? They'd have to catch him first. Flipping on the switches to prepare the cycle for launch, he braced himself for the incredible power....but nothing came. Confused, Mark Grace checked the fuel gauge, and saw that he was fresh out of fuel. That was the problem with rocket fuel, of course, it's a volatile compound, and can't be stored for too long. drat, this was going to set him back. Looking at the other side of his garage, Grace's eyes fell on his other ride, a 1990 Mazda 626. At worst, he could always just take his other car, which did have fuel, after all, to drive to the local rocket fuel shop at Village Crossings. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pang in his stomach. Mark hadn't eaten all day and was getting quite hungry. DECISION TIME! What will Mark Grace do next? A. Drive to Village Crossing to get fuel for the rocket cycle! B. Get something to eat, there's probably some frozen burritos in the freezer or something! C. Contact the Mark Grace of Earth-2 for help with the rocket fuel! Vote Now!

 I liked this bit: Smasher Dynamo posted:"Those loving fucks who hosed up all of this poo poo! I'm going to loving bust their loving asses all over the place with my loving boot up their loving fuckface! Piece of poo poo, I loving hate those loving assholes so loving much! Andy Reid Sucks!" My players are a bunch of poo poo-heads. A couple of things: 1) I should definitely have Stan Williams, not Steamboat Williams. According to the Superstars auction posts, he should be the 1961 version. 2) That is almost certainly not Bernard Gilkey in my minors, seeing as Bernard Gilkey never played shortstop and was rated a 78 in the Expansion Cup, very different than 45/53. 3) Voting C again.

In accordance with Goon-related bandwagoning statues, C. Also, drat, those are a few bad rolls on some of my guys there. That's what I get for running a lot of young guys, I guess. I think I do have replacements if need be (though losing that Cabrera that rolled 93/100 or something like that hurts), but eh, can't really judge on just the first week. Besides, i'm pretty sure that Posey figure is an accurate figure for how he did last time out. Also as a side note; I don't have McGriff any more. He was part of the trade that got me Rodriguez. I can just not play him, but it's best he get future endeavoured just on the off-chance Mogul decides he'd better get some playing time.

mentholmoose posted:1) I should definitely have Stan Williams, not Steamboat Williams. According to the Superstars auction posts, he should be the 1961 version. 1. It is Stan Williams, that's just a joke that only makes sense to me because of an earlier gently caress-up by me when entering rosters, because I thought Stan Williams was willist01, and that turned out to be Steamboat Williams. So, the player is Stan Williams, but since "Steamboat Williams" is a better name, I changed it as a lark. 2. You're right, and if you ever need to use Gilkey, I'll fix him. Also, I'll read you your last rites, because, holy gently caress, if you need him, it's probably all over. 3. Crisis on Infinite Graces!

It's more about the ratings than the 12 awful ABs, but let's try sending Quentin to AAA; Harper up and takes Quentin's spot in LF/batting 6th against RHP. Might as well see what the rookie can give me in a corner. It's the least of my problems in this young season, but I couldn't help but notice that instead of righty Jordan Zimmermann, who was a non-disastrous #5 in the EC, I have lefty Jordan Zimmerman (61). At some point that lack of a second N could come back and hurt me. Poor Gracie shouldn't go hungry. B.

Albany Pessimists Great start sweeping the blogs, but can I make a few suggestions that may improve your team slightly? 1) Platoon Will Clark and Minie Minoso in left field. Clark struggles against lefties and Minie is a great hitter so deserves to hit lefties for you. 2) Get Ryan Braun in the lineup. The guy won an MVP award and Mogul doesn't test for steroids. Your options are to replace your LF platoon, he can play 3B or he can play 1B pretty badly. That isn't great for you, because LF and 3B are good positions for you, and his terrible 1B defence might be a liability his bat cannot carry, so you might consider selling him or Will Clark/Minie Miniso for something, probably help at 1st or 2nd base. But pending that get him in the lineup. 3) Don't bat Luis Aparaicio leadoff. He's not good at it, because he doesn't get on base to set the table for Mel Ott. Your first base guy and your three outfielders would probably be better off hitting ahead of him atleast, and probably your 3B guy as well. I'd recommend, in broad terms, something like: 1: Your left field platoon or your 1B guy if you've got Braun in left field. 2: Mel Ott (or Ryan Braun) 3: Matt Williams or 1B guy. 4: Ryan Braun (Or Mel Ott) 5: Larry Doby You could swap slots 2 and 3 and/or slots 1 and 5 if you wanted to. I've gone this way, the IRC consensus is to swap 1 and 5 so Doby hits lead off. It works either way. Whichever front 5 you go with, then go: Luis, Fox, Catcher for 6/7/8 edit: Your divisional rivals are already complaining that I'm giving you advice, so my advice probably isn't terrible.

 After some thought, the Bloggers have decided that dingers are better than defense and edited our roster accordingly. To wit, we've sent down Lenny Dykstra for Eddie Matthews and set him up in a platoon at 3B. Asked to comment, outspoken pitcher Charley "Old Hoss" Radbourn was skeptical:  (Also note that we switched up Bill Freehan's personal catching.)

Camilo Pascual rounds out the selection. Don't overprice it - Mogul doesn't like Mr Downstairs that much, but a fun team. Plus Killibrew is a cool name.

I know he'll never repeat that performance, though.Second, I'm going to shuffle around my rotation because Pete Alexander really should be my first starter. Switch the rotation to Alexander-Clemens-Vaughn-Oswalt-Lester. Put Candelaria in the long relief spot Lester was in previously. It says Alexander is supposed to start the next day; if I switch things around, will he still start or will it switch to someone else? Also, one more question for you. What teams players are going into the SuperDraft? I want to look over rosters and see who I might be able to add. mentholmoose fucked around with this message at 16:53 on Dec 17, 2012 |

 Super-League VIII, Dynamo League Week 2: The Grand Conspiracy Games of the Week Don May posted:
Box Score   Don May posted:
Box Score   Hardcore Title Defenses! : Someday, Yoshida, some day I will make them love the Super-League...yes, they'll cast aside their precious animes and learn what a real sports LP is all about!: Really?: Probably not, no. Anyway, welcome back to another set of Hardcore Title Defenses! Last time, the Losers retained their title with a 3-1 series win over the Spooners, but the Hardcore Title is once again on the line against the newly-formed Coburns!: And in this three-game set, the first team to two wins will be the Hardcore Champion.: Game 1! And Paige will take the start, and another good performance, even if he didn't pick up the win. But the Losers do get the victory thanks to some late-game heroics. : But it looks like Paige has an injury, and I'm getting word that he'll be forced to skip his scheduled start at the end of the week.  : No comeback needed against this one, the Losers just smoke the Coburns, and by winning the first two games of the series, they'll retain the Hardcore Title!: The Losers' pitching staff is just that good. : Losers finish things out with a shutout by Drysdale and the suffering is over. Three games, three great performances by Losers' starting pitchers.: There's a reason the Losers have had the best record in the Dynamo League these past two seasons. : Indeed. But there's not much time for celebration, because the Losers will now have to head to Cleveland to defend the Hardcore Title against the Unicorns!: The Unicorns, of course, are a storied franchise, the last surviving members of the second Expansion Class, coming off a great Gauntlet run and hoping to ride Barry Bonds to their first playoff berth in four seasons.: But Bonds is nicked up at the moment, and so the Unicorns will be forced to start Fred Clarke at LF for this first game...but they'll pull out the win regardless.: Good start for the Unicorns, who managed to pull a complete game shutout out of Sam Leever of all people. : And the Losers will even up the series at one game apiece, setting up the next game as a rubber match for the Hardcore Title.: Another shaky start for Catfish Hunter, but you would think the Unicorns will give him a bit more time to find his footing in Cleveland.: I'd think so, they don't have a lot of better options. : Here's an idle thought, Fred Clarke was pretty good for the team last year, do you think the Unicorns could move Bonds to center if one or both halves of their center field platoon breaks down? : Slugfest in Cleveland, and the Unicorns will score 21 runs to capture the Hardcore Championship.: And we were talking about Paige getting injured earlier, and this is the net result. Sabathia has a disastrous start, and the Losers lose their title because of it.: Right, but don't take anything away from the Unicorns, they did score 21 runs and, with this win, do pull even with the Bangers for the Sic Transit Vir Division lead. : And that will do it for this week. The Unicorns are your new Hardcore Champions, and they'll have their first defense next week against the Intercontinental Champion Unspecifieds in Antarctica. Pending the results, the second series shown next week will be either Unicorns-Dickshots or Unspecifieds-Bangers.Team Statistics      Analysis It was a tough week, and it's becoming clear that your rotation has some serious issues, especially since there's no way that Neagle is going to end up being decent in the Super-League.      Analysis I have no idea how your rotation gets by with that many low-K pitchers, especially since they aren't deadballers, but it's been working.      Analysis Grim.      Analysis Hey! How about that! I'm right about Riggs again! What a shock!      Analysis A new title for a mildly re-energized team!      Analysis Well, everyone loses against the Losers, so don't get too down on your team, although, I don't understand why you aren't platooning Sandberg and Carew at 2B.      Analysis Things would be going a lot better if 6 of your first 9 games hadn't come against the Bangers.      Analysis The Oranges series against the Imperialists was good! Their series against the Unicorns? Bad. Welcome back, bipolar Oranges!      Analysis Captain America has failed us all!      Analysis Looks like there's a potential Triple-Unification Matchup next week!      Analysis You might have to risk Hooks Dauss killing you with a giant fishhook and removing him from the rotation.      Analysis Good pitching except for Morris which, actually, seems about right.      Analysis The Generics starting out slow is a Super-League tradition. Like my patented holiday drink composed of Egg Nog, Scotch and Crown Royal.      Analysis The Hardcore Title is just hard to hold onto. The Losers still lead their division, however, and I imagine ToiletofSadness cares a lot more about that.      Analysis Up and down.     Analysis No more off days ever! Burn, Bloggers, burn! Standings and Leaders     A. Drive to Village Crossings to get fuel for the rocket cycle! - 2 votes B. Get something to eat, there's probably some frozen burritos in the freezer or something! - 3 votes C. Contact the Mark Grace of Earth-2 for help with the rocket fuel! - 8 votes There was only one possible solution to this problem....Earth-2. I mean, yes, technically Mark Grace could go to the mall, but he'd have to get into his car, and drive to the mall, and that just seemed like too much work. No, going to Earth-2 was definitely the place to get some rocket fuel. Of course, getting there would take some doing, or it would if Mark hadn't found a weak spot between dimensions a while back on the corner of McCormick and Howard. He got in the 626, and put his most rockin' Led Zeppelin cassette into the tape deck, it was time to get things done. Driving north on McCormick, he prepared his car to crossover. This was the tricky part. In this world, there was a bridge over the canal that separated Skokie and Evanston, which was where the weak spot was located. In Earth-2, though, the bridge was never built for whatever reason, but the canal was still there. He'd have to build up enough speed, or he'd certainly wreck his car and get himself killed. Putting the pedal to the metal, Grace built up as much speed as he could. 60 mph...70...80...and away he went....right through dimensions and over a bridge that disappeared halfway through. Grace clenched his teeth, and braced for impact as his car crested in the air above the canal and began to dive back towards the surface. Streaking through the air, the 626 landed just on the other side of the water, landing on the ground with a large thud. Breathing a sigh of relief, Grace started driving down the roads of Earth-2...wait, is that 7-11 advertising Crystal Pepsi? DECISION TIME! Will Mark Grace... A. Stop for Crystal Pepsi! B. Get around to visiting Earth-2 Mark Grace to get that rocket fuel! C. Mark Grace is still hungry! Get Earth-2 Gyros! VOTE OR SUFFER!

Characterized as a libertarian, truly the deepest blow imaginable. Also: holy poo poo, I hadn't even noticed that I didn't have a single off day in the first month of the season. Cripes!  But luckily, I know the solution! My new plans are statistically guaranteed to give the Bloggers a maximal chance of victory while providing optimal rest! To wit: 1) Jim Delahanty is banished from the land for his crimes of sub-Mendoza hitting and awful infield defense. Luis Aparicio replaces him as the short half of my 2B platoon, and will be berated mercilessly via Twitter should he make any game-losing errors. 2) Replacing Delahanty on the bench to platoon with K. Puckett will be Lenny Dykstra. 3) Andrew McCutchen spends a week platooning with Barry Bonds, hoping to keep him rested for the big showdown with the Tornados next week. 4) Bill Freehan's new personal catching duties ought to get him 3 starts this week. 5) My new sliders guarantee perfect use of my bench and bullpen, which should ensure victory in any close games this week. Finally, the Bloggers will not vote in this sham of an obituary, in protest of the woeful treatment we have received at the hands of the Commissar's office.
