There's a reason why we don't have Crystal Pepsi anymore, so let's just end these shenanigans with a vote for B. Matters are improving, but let's fix the line up a bit: code:

Bunch of people too young to have tasted that swill spotted. I support the C falafel variant. Poor Rapid Robert. I expected my young fireballers to be lottery tickets this year, but no earned runs and two losses is demoralizing. I'm not worried about my start, honestly, because my pitching seems OK (except for Greinke's early hook game), and if Bagwell and Edmonds decide not to hit all year, then I am Just hosed and no amount of fretting will change that.

And THE Thornton Lee provides a complete game to contribute to the sweep! I'm a bit anxious about the Landers series, but I guess we'll see about that tomorrow. Also B. I'd rather drink rocket fuel than Crystal Pepsi. It seems like something Gracie would try at least once, too.

mrnoun posted:It'll be a few weeks yet before the list is finalized and sign-ups are opened. So this is your chance to participate in the process. So, readers: do you have a favorite player you want to see included? For some Ugly Johnny Dickshot action, plus the chance to have THE OTHER Thornton Lee? I lust after the 1934 Cardinals for completely un-gamist reasons, as well, but you've got that covered. Don't take this the wrong way, but some of those valuations seem a bit high, though maybe they're meant to be trap teams? Also, B.

I'm going to have to go for C. This is an alternate universe, but unless the very fundamental nature of humans has been altered, there's no chance that Pepsi would do something successful. Ergo, in Earth-2, Crystal Pepsi is New Coke.

Why must Grace choose between Crystal Pepsi and gyros, I ask you? B Also woe be to the Oranges, our offense is literally too good, at least 1/3 of my lineup has more walks than hits judging by those OBAs. Lousy junkballers.

 Super-League VIII, Smasher League Week 2: The Crying of LP 47 Games of the Week Don May posted:
Box Score   Don May posted:
Box Score   Television Title Defenses  : YO-SHI-DA! YO-SHI-DA! YO-SHI-DA! : What are you doing?: Smasher, I made a start! And it was a quality start! I totally deserve to be moved into the rotation.: Yeah? ForeverBWFC would have to be drunk out of his mind to think that's a good idea.: So...Thursday?: Maybe. Anyway, it's a new week, and that means more defenses for the Television Championship, the 6th most prestigious secondary championship in the Super-League! And the defending Whalers will start off with a quick win over the Suicides!: The Suicides are a fatally flawed team. They have Williams and Ruth, and that's about it.: Still, that's a one-hitter by Cone, and that's pretty impressive.  : Suicides pull one out, so they still have a theoretical change of winning the title.: Very theoretical!  : Whalers win again, and that gives them two wins in this series, and they'll retain the Television title. : This is a real concern, the Suicides' offense does not look good at all. They may have Ruth and Williams, but nothing else, really.  : And another strong showing as the Whalers see off the Suicides, 8-2, and win the series 3-1. Good effort against, admittedly, not a great team.: Did PETA ever try and get the Whalers to change their name?: No idea. Then again, it's not like there are a ton of whalers in Hartford anymore...or ever, really.  : Second Defense of the Television Title this week, now, and the Whalers will take on the Failures in Philadelphia. And they'll lead things off with a big win here. The Whalers are just rolling.: Another bad loss by the Failures. They need some help on offense, and they need it now. : And that will do it, for all intents and purposes, the Whalers retain again with their second win of this series, and that's a tough break for the Failures.: Here's an interesting stat: over the two starts he's made this week, David Cone has given up two hits and sixteen walks. That's Nolan Ryan-esque right there. : Failures get one win back, and at least that's progress.: Pettitte is probably the weak link in the Whalers' rotation, and mks5000 is going to need to address that at some point if he wants to win something more meaningful than the TV title. : And that will wrap it up. The Whalers make two defenses of the TV Title, and they'll head into next week as champions. The early defense will be Whalers-Air Raids, and then we'll see either Whalers-Landers or Air Raids-Arguments. You may or may not want to miss it!Team Statistics      Analysis Too early to make any big changes. Keep the faith.      Analysis The engine thinks that Stras is a bit young, I guess. Or maybe it hates him for some other reason.      Analysis Okay, that record isn't great, but Kingman has only six Ks in five games! That's an incredible accomplishment for him!      Analysis Okay, you've made your point, now take Cust out of the lineup.      Analysis Good job. Keep it going.      Analysis Rickey Henderson: 10 stolen bases in 10 games. drat.      Analysis Solid as always.      Analysis Young Mel Stottlemyre and Snuffy aren't exactly setting the world on fire. Then again, I'm pretty sure that Snuffy is actually a stuffed animal so, but that standard, he's doing remarkably well. And you have no one to replace him with anyway.      Analysis If you believe in peripherals, then Johnson should come around soon.      Analysis Technically, Posey is doing a bit better this season.      Analysis Well, the important thing is that you keep trying!      Analysis Big loving surprise.      Analysis So, uh...sorry.      Analysis Well, you've got Ruth, Williams, and bitter desperation in your lineup.      Analysis Give it time, all things will be righted.      Analysis I don't understand your team. Standings and Leaders      A. Stop for Crystal Pepsi! - 10 votes B. Get around to visiting Earth-2 Mark Grace to get that rocket fuel! - 6 votes C. Mark Grace is still hungry! Get Earth-2 Gyros! - 5 votes If only the anti-Crystal Pepsi Faction could have worked together... Mark Grace decided that some things were more important than fuel for his rocket cycle, and this was one of them. Entering the 7-11, he casually made his way to the cooler, and then found himself a 20 ounce bottle of Crystal Pepsi and took it out. Looking at the packaging, Mark Grace thought about the last time he had a Crystal Pepsi in his home world...so many years ago. He took the bottle to the cashier, who informed him that it was be 85 pence. "Pence?" Grace questioned, confused by this turn of events. "Yes, as you know, when America lost the War of 1812, Great Britain reclaimed Northern New England and most of the old Northwest Territory, and these were later made part of Greater Canada, and, therefore, Canadian currency, expressed in pounds and pence, is used here, although, of course, that would be common knowledge that you certainly did not need explained to you now." "Oh yeah," Mark Grace remembered how, as this was not his first trip to this reality, he already knew all of that, but it was still nice to have someone sum it up for him in such a concise fashion. And, as he had anticipated something like this happening, he paid the cashier and left. Getting back inside his car, he opened the bottle of Crystal Pepsi, and took a big swig. It wasn't very good. It was like an warped version of cola, and, honestly, its clear color was more of a novelty than a feature. Still, this whole incident did make Mark Grace wonder if he could find some Jay's Calypso Chips... Still, he had more important things to do... DECISION TIME! Will Mark Grace A. Instigate revolution to liberate Chicagoland from Greater Canada! B. Finally go get that Rocket Fuel from Earth-2 Mark Grace! C. Go sledding! VOTE OR ELSE!

mentholmoose posted:Hey, it'd be cool if my team could hit above the Mendoza line. But w/e. There is a weird thing where pitchers tend to own in the first month of the season, the hitters come back. Happened last two super leagues. It's not clear why. I also vote for Sledding Good work team, great showing, we're really starting to hit our straps now. You're scoring runs and that wins ball games. However, one change. Swap Mel Ott with Larry Walker in the vs RHP lineup. While I suspect in real life that 1997 Larry Walker is a better hitter than 1946 Mel Ott, the game doesn't seem to want to acknowledge that.

Can't panic over two starts from Stras; if anyone can withstand my defense, it would seem like his strikeouts make him the favorite. But jeez, I figured I was getting a Gold Glover in Morgan. Voting C - sledding because I don't hate fun.

Mariners should just trade Felix Hernandez to the Cardinals so I can stop caring about them completely Speaking of New Orleans Mashers Felix owns. Bump him up to the top of the rotation and give Randy his spot. Maybe that'll help RJ.

But jeez, I figured I was getting a Gold Glover in Morgan. You don't have him in a band box or anything do you? He gives up more long fly balls than the average SL pitcher. That does look like simple bad luck.
