Since some people have been asking, the next expansion class will open sometime next week. I'm thinking Wednesday, but that's subject to change. Grinnblade will probably be running the Expansion Cup this time around, since I guess he wants to prove that being from Idaho is no handicap to running an LP, or at least part of one, and seeing as the stakes are not particularly high, I intend to let him. Beyond that, mrnoun is working on the feeder list for me, so I don't know what's in it yet, but I'm sure he'll do a good job. So, if you know anyone you think might be interested in owning a Super-League team, go tell them, if you want to own a Super-League team, sit tight for a bit longer, and if you've grown to despise me and my thread, I can't say don't sympathize with you.

The Web 2.0 BloggersBETA continue the absurd run on SP and select 1993 Tom Glavine. We are extremely interested in acquiring an upcoming pick, either outright or moving up from #37. I'm especially interested in moving 1993 Lenny Dykstra and 2001 Andruw Jones. Dykstra is a pretty nice backup CF, but he's horrible for our park; Jones needs a ratings challenge, but he ought to be a pretty good platoon guy in CF if you don't already have Puckett and McCutchen.

 With the 19th pick in the draft, the Des Moines Dervishes select 1993 John Smoltz, solving the problem created by Gaylord Perry's demise. Since I believe the week to be posted has already been simmed, just slot him in Nolan's place, and banish him back to AAA. I might make some bullpen adjustments after the update. Edit: Almost forgot, I think it's time we let Peterson go for Mark Grace's sake. Voting A. Beet fucked around with this message at 08:44 on Jan 3, 2013 |

Okay, stop. That lineup is all wrong. First of all, Hamilton's injury means that he got the days off he needed, so he's good to go. Second, Cronin is sore, if anyone is getting a rest, it's him. Third, don't use Vinny Castilla. Just don't do it. I know that you're a Rockies fan, and so have a sentimental attachment to him, but here is a list of good seasons he had while not playing in Coors Field: There are none. Your team does not play in Coors Field. Therefore, I think it's fair to say that putting in Vinny Castilla for any reason other than being held at gunpoint by a drunken Castilla is a terrible idea. And if you are being held at gunpoint by him, give me some sort of sign.

UZworm posted:OK, fine: (I don't know the difference between Tired and Sore) Sore is the next step up. Usually if a player's tired then platooning them for a bit or resting them for a week will fix them, but they can play through it if necessary. When they're sore, they need to be taken out, because fatigue is actually impacting their performance (is my understanding of it).

Yeah tired is like a warning, sore is when bad things actually start to happen. One or two days off is enough to fix tired.

 I need another low-leverage lefty, happily, I can replace Pettitte with Terry Mulholland. Additionally, it's a bit of a blow stat-wise, but a clear victory for insanity: DL Eddie Murray, call up John Kruk - bat him 9th. I don't know what has happened to Nolan Ryan, but I hate it. A.

Revenant Threshold posted:Ordinarily i'd be quite free with him, but apparently this season what i'm hurting for is good outfielders. If you have a spare Barry Bonds going that'd be nice, but someone who can play RF both well and consistently would be nice. Also, pitchers. I lack outfielders unless you'd like "Where are you" Andy Van Slyke, but I can offer 1991 David Cone, two-time Super-League 20-game winner?

 Finally, a draft pick where I don't bother screwing around trying to trade somewhere. Been looking at 2011 Cliff Lee from the beginning, time to see if that works out at all Going by my pitching staff's results so far: no. No, it will not work out. Can we stash Lee at AAA and then send Zimmermann down as soon as everyone's normal rest will allow the rotation to go Lee-Strasburg-Gonzalez-Brown-Veale?

Cultists Lineup Change Change the batting order so it's #5: RF Platoon, #6 Santo, #7 LF platoon, #8 Catcher Platoon. Tell the cocksucking outfield platoons to hit to my satisfaction. Trade Offer There's nothing on the board I really want, so I'm happy to trade down if you'll throw in a quality bullpen upgrade, so make some offers.

Anyway, we're back with some more Hardcore Title defenses. And, in fact, this next series between the Dickshots and Imperialists will not only be for the Hardcore Title, but for all of the other secondary Dynamo League championships as well. If either team sweeps, they will be Tetra-Champions!: And the Dickshots will win Game 1.  : And then lose Game 2. So only the Hardcore title has a chance of changing hands. : Has the Viscount made a decision on how to use Dihigo yet?: He has not. But he should get on that. : And the Imperialists win Game 3, meaning that no titles will change hands. : That was kind of a bust. : I guess inertia is the most powerful force in the Super-League after all. : Okay, well, this might get more exciting. The Bulldogs will take on the Imperialists next.: TKBomber is their owner, and between him and Viscount Slim, they have won all seven Memento Mori Championships. : Bulldogs just barely win Game 1. : Imperialists with a big Game 2 win.: And this Hardcore Title Match will go to a decisive Game 3.  : Bulldogs win Game 3, and they will be the new Hardcore Champions!: Good for them! : Next week, we'll have the Bulldogs-Pessimists and then either a rematch of Bulldogs-Imperialists or the Pessimists-Mighty Spooners. Team Statistics      Analysis It looks like it's up to Denny Neagle to save the day! That's bad.      Analysis Whitey Ford has betrayed you!      Analysis Still have a couple of championships, but they don't seem to be making a ton of progress in the standings. Dihigo should help.      Analysis 43 stolen bases through ten weeks. And yet no one is voting for McGraw to be an all-star.      Analysis Barry Bonds has really done a lot for your team. That was probably the best trade you ever made.      Analysis The Coburns continue their grim march to the top of the standings, having now made it all the way to third place in their division.      Analysis Just like I promised, the Dervishes have righted themselves and all is well.      Analysis Dock Ellis needs more drugs. Or less drugs. Either way, he clearly does not have the right amount of drugs to pitch effectively.      Analysis The Dickshots pulled a 'Biffs', going 2-4 on the week but retaining their Intercontinental Title. That said, the Biffs lost over 100 games. Do better.      Analysis The Bangers have on of their 'kill everything' weeks, and Leviathan smiles.      Analysis Not the best week for the Spooniest team that ever was.      Analysis A new title for the Bulldogs! Too bad half of your lineup desperately need some time off.      Analysis Speaking of drugs, that would probably make looking at these updates a bit more palatable.      Analysis The Losers cruise, as always. And it's their turn to pick in the draft! Good news all around!      Analysis Always solid, if rarely spectacular.      Analysis Injuries are dragging you down. Leaders and Standings      A. Take the deal! - 4 vote B. gently caress ADRIAN PETERSON! - 7 votes "Give my Adrian Peterson's severed hamstring, McGregor! That's I want, that's what I need!" Grace hissed into the phone. McGregor hung his head in exhaustion. There was no other choice now, "Mark," he said, in a resigned, almost elegiac, tone, "Whatever happens, I respect you for your willingness to fight for your beliefs. I only wish that other had the same courage to want to maim Adrian Peterson." McGregor then signaled his men. As much as he wanted to, there was no way he could give in to this demand, and with negotiations having failed, there was only one choice. Inside, Grace knew that this was the end. He sent li'l Brian Pillman out through the air ducts, no need to get him killed too, and stoically waited for the coming storm. It was on him in a flash, as a flashbang grenade broke through the window and blinded him. A SWAT followed, guns blazing, and, as he had never had a weapon to begin with, that left Mark Grace without much chance of doing anything but getting shot and dying. The first bullet ripped through his shoulder. The next right through his chest. There were probably more, but Mark Grace had already dead before they hit... DECISION TIME! Does Mark Grace believe in... A. Heaven and Hell! B. Reincarnation! C. That there is no life after death (for this obit)

This is probably the worst time to have to rest most of my team, but if I want to survive to Super-League IX I have to rest them before they all get sore. Anyways, the lineup for next week. 2B Nellie Fox CF Bobbie Murcer RF Frank Robinson 1B Frank Thomas LF Joe Medwick C Terry Steinbeck SS Alan Trammell 3B Howard Johnson Pitcher After last season, I guess I'll wait until Gehringer and Collins get better to rest Trammell. After all, I bet Smasher would say that somehow one of them could field the shortstop position better then Howard Johnson.
