Now that's out of the way, since this obit mirrors the torment that is the LP for Smasher, so too must Grace must pay in A, Hell! I don't care for your eschatological differences, that selection means hell! Swap Carter in for Berra for the week, and I assume the AI will rest players as necessary with defensive replacements for the tired people. Zambrano's a wreck so Dolf Luque is my only hope in LR. kw0134 fucked around with this message at 01:43 on Jan 4, 2013 |

Upon further review, the call on the field is reversed. After a discussion with Smasher, doing injuries the way I mentioned is too much work for way too little return as the EC is more of a tune-up than a competition. Worst case scenario you see if your backups can handle things if things go south. edit: yes I know that's a football thing, Grinnblade fucked around with this message at 02:51 on Jan 4, 2013 |

It appears I have quite a bit of business to take care of. First, roster transactions:
Secondly, new lineups to reflect the addition of Alomar: vs RHP 3B Frisch LF Speaker 1B Thomas CF Charleston RF Robinson SS Cronin C Torre/Martinez 2B Alomar P Pitcher vs LHP LF Speaker SS Cronin RF Robinson 1B Thomas CF Charleston C Torre/Martinez 3B Youkilis 2B Frisch P Pitcher Finally, voting B on the obit story.

Well well well, just over two months in and we're looking to be in a better position. 2 games back of Rockford because we could only win, not sweep, but hey. Not the end of the world. Morgan is repaying my leadoff faith in spades, and Musial is looking like a top 5-8 hitter in the DL. One change to make elsewhere while the new rotation takes form, please: swap LHP Tom Hall out and roll the dice on RHP John D'Acquisto in his relief spot. In other news, I'll vote B, just to see if we can avoid getting caught in a week-long hostage situation again.

Let's continue the grim march, and not think too hard about what's ahead of us. Send down Giles and reinstitute the Brett/Schmidt platoon at first. DL Stieb and replace him with Hershiser. B.

Realizing my cunning plan might as well happen in the second round as the first: The Fukuoka Finger-Bangers select: 40-year-old Tyrus Cobb, for sentimental reasons. Put Edgar Martinez back at third, please. Voting A. mrnoun and the Landers on the clock.

Well, Robin Yount seems to be not-awful this time, and I do have a legion of stopgaps, so...I guess Dihigo should remain a pitcher. Replace Matt Thornton with Ted Wilks, and rest Berkman with JD Drew for the week. B!

Ugh. Injuries. Guess I have to just stick guys in and pray. Spreadsheet is updated: Glavine comes up to replace Bender, Dykstra for Bonds, the lineup shifts around as I cry, and I shuffle the deck chairs at the back of my rotation/bullpen. Note: please make sure that Claude Hendrix is still set as my next pitcher. My rotation this week should go Hendrix -> Radbourn -> Glavine -> Lolich -> Holtzman -> Hendrix. e: Just want to put out there again: Smasher, would it be easier for your if I copy/pasted all my stuff every week? I had envisioned the spreadsheet as a place that you could just check every time, and keep me from having to clutter the thread with posts like this, but it's not really working out that way much. So whatever's best for you, Smasher. Mornacale fucked around with this message at 18:20 on Jan 4, 2013 |

We'll take 2011 Chase Utley, since we have a bunch of other Phillies on the team already. He also sounds like a wealthy client that might hire Det. Don Slaught, perhaps to find out what happened to his knees. I admit this assumes I can move Bobby Grich to third. ForeverBWFC and the Eazy W's are on the clock.

Was going to go for the box, but Cthullu smashed my dreams. We're going for 79 Sparky Lyle to fix the left-handed hole in our bullpen and also because "Sparky" is an adorable name! Bring him in at Short Relief for now to replace Smith, who goes to the minors for now. Also, B for the obit. EDIT: Unicorns are on the clock!

Hey, does anyone out there have a lefty platoon/backup CF they'd like to part with for a package including '93 Lenny Dykstra? Even a straight up swap, if you've got an equivalent TTO-type hitter and would rather employ a contact/speed dude. Alas, my park cannot support someone with his skillset on the big half of a platoon.

Super-League VIII, Smasher League Week 10: Slaught and Downing's Excellent Adventure Games of the Week Don May posted:
Box Score Don Slaught, P.I. posted:
Box Score Not Quite the TVIV : So, we're at the point of the season where I've lost all faith that I know what I'm doing. Let's get on with it. Landers-Maths, let's rock! : Mathematicians, as a rule, don't generally rock. : This is true, but I have the feeling that this is going to lead us back to the old "rocking vs. listening to rock" discussion we've had before. Either way, the Landers are going to win the first game. : And the Mathematicians will blank the the Landers, and so the Television Title will go to the winner of Game 3. : And, what's this...the Mathematicians are starting Addie Joss on one day's rest? : Wait, one day of rest? That can't be right. : Oh, it's right... : And Joss will get the win after only one day of rest! Maths win their second TV Title. : The Mathematicians are living on a wing and a prayer, but it looks that that prayer was answer by Marduk, the Babylonian God of Thunder who has struck the Landers down for their impudence! : None of that made any sense. And now the Arguments are back, and looking for their fourth Television Title against the Mathematicians. : Unfortunately, due to bad timing, the Arguments will be resting most of their good players, so this probably won't work out too well for them. : Maths pick up the first game, and in this four-game series, they only need to win once more in the next three games to retain the TV Title. : Look at Snuffy! Two extra-base hits! He is the best stuffed animal brought to life by the dying tears of the last Austro-Hungarian Emperor to ever play the game! : Maths win again, and they'll retain. : As you know, Nick Etten was the first cyborg to play the game of baseball. He wasn't very good at it though, as the pneumatic tubes that powered the right side of his brain weren't sturdy enough to stand the rigors of the 154-game Major League schedule of the time. : And Maths win yet again, although, looking at the subs the Arguments are using, that's not a huge surprise. : Did you know that Charlie Keller was actually a being conjured up by the collective consciousness of Yankees fans and that, once this was revealed to them, he abruptly vanished forever? : At least the Arguments won't go home empty handed. : Poor Snuffy. : An that's it. The Maths next defense is against the Phoenixes, and then we'll get either Math-Suicides or Phoenixes-Barons. Team Statistics Analysis I think you probably have to pick a starting pitcher next round, too. Analysis Stras' ERA will continue to drop assuming that his extreme hittability is a fluke rather than a trend. Analysis Someday, Keith Hernandez will return to save the Smokers...someday. Analysis Marco Scutaro, as frustrating in the Super-League as he is in real-life. Analysis Here's a hint: MAKE DEREK JETER YOUR STARTING SS! You know, I can't believe I have to tell you that! You're a loving Yankees fan! This is like the one time in your life where your instincts about Jeter are right! Analysis To answer your question, Grich can play 3B. He's not great at it, but he's good enough. Analysis The Landers aren't as overpowering as last year, but they've got enough firepower to see them through. Analysis Shame the good players couldn't have been in during that series, I guess. Analysis Six-game winning streak! Analysis That's one magical version of Addie Joss! Analysis At least your bullpen is hanging in there. Analysis See, things'll work out eventually. Analysis Up and down, as always. Analysis You need more than the one draft pick you've got, looks like. Analysis The W's were due for a down week, I guess. Analysis That pitching makes me sad. Standings and Leaders A. Heaven and Hell! - 3 votes B. Reincarnation! - 8 votes C. That there is no life after death (for this obit) - 3 votes It is the future year 3671. The world is a very different different place. Earth has been depopulated by the Reds' Plague over four hundred years ago, and has still not recovered. Humanity has spread to the stars, but still remains divided by nation-states. The Three-World War has entered its fourth bloody year. The Union of Federated Worlds and Pharisee Empire have been joined by the Earth Union in their struggle against the Iridnoi Kingdom, Cassian Republic and the Alliance of Transhumanity. On the world of Rand, long occupied by the United Federated Worlds, an elderly scientist, yearning for his peoples' freedom, has created the Grace Mk. 7, the first robot with a soul. The scientist believes that only by creating a robot with all of the creative impulses of a human can they defeat the Uni-Feds super-powered general, Mega-General X, an invulnerable tyrant who cares only for the greater glory of his homeland. Many Randian freedom fighters have tried to oppose him, and all have died horrible deaths. In the past, these massacres would have been decried by other, more progressive nations, but, in wartime, they all have larger concerns that what happens on this backwater planet. Only Grace Mk. 7 will be able to save this world from continued subjugation... DECISION TIME What will Grace Mk. 7 do? A. Confront Mega-General X directly. B. Consider alternate strategies of defeating Mega-General X. C. Get a Space-Gyros!
