 I should've suspected something was amiss when acquiring Kiner.  New lineups! Vs. RHP 2B Morgan CF Averill 1B Palmeiro DH Stargell C Lopez* RF Clemente LF Quentin SS Tejada 3B Zimmerman Vs. LHP 1B Morse RF Clemente C Lopez* DH Stargell SS Mora LF Kiner CF Averill 3B Zimmerman 2B Roberts * Let's drop the catcher platooning for the week and have Burgess only catch for Brown's start(s), and bat 8th regardless of opponent.

 Dear Smasher, We at the Ineptodrome hereby draft 1983's Dave Winfield and ask that he replace the atrocious Roger Maris in the line-up immediately. We also request the management to ponder the eternal problem: is it better to have Snuffy's glove at second or to omit his awful bat from the line-up? Whatever we choose, we lose. And we have no-one to blame but ourselves..... Hugs and Kisses, Bob

 OK, this is a thing: Send down A-Gon and Chet Lemon, bring Rickey off the DL and start him in left, call up Brooks and platoon him with Rolfe. "Take care of" Chris Short, Philadelphia hero, and bring Mays back into the rotation. Try Alan Embree at short relief over Schantz.

Super-League VIII Dynamo League All-Star Roster Dynamo League Starters God Bless Democracy C: Carlton Fisk (WEB) 1B: Miguel Cabrera (CUN) 2B: Joe Morgan (DUB) 3B: Wade Boggs (SJE) SS: Ernie Banks (CAN) LF: Tris Speaker (ROC) CF: Jim Edmonds (BUR) RF: Mel Ott (ALB) DH: Ted Williams (NYF) Manager: The Merry Marauder (NYF) Manager's Thoughts: Well, the outfield defense is pretty great, although (Lil' Joe aside) I have my concerns about the infield D; for instance, Carlton Fisk is hit-or-miss defensively, and this edition appears not so much to have "missed" as to have "collapsed short of the target." Overall power's good, but not great, and certainly nothing like the Smasher League's mash-acre lineup. Now, in selecting the bench players and pitching, we can either to choose to bear in mind that this series will take place in a different save file, meaning that unexpectedly good performances are not likely to continue, or we could go with the spirit of the thing, and award spots based on this season's merit. I also have to include a player from every franchise, which will be a joy. Let's tackle that first, and see where it leaves us. I know from bitter experience that the Unicorns have a few persistently great-performing deadballers, and while Art Nehf looks a touch better this year, Deacon Phillippe leads all teams in BB/9 (1.06!), has a much stronger sim/real historical record, and still has a great name, so we'll use him. Speaking of deadballers, I need a Spooner player, and I know they have Ed Walsh and his deathstare, so that's an easy quota to fill. Now, given the colossal power of the Smasher League lineup, I could now go full-deadball and thumb my nose at my esteemed opposition, but then I could not use Bert Blyleven, who is having a strong season for the Coburns, and is Bert Goddamned Blyleven. TKBomber's amalgam must be represented, and while they also have a strong Blyleven, it is my prerogative as manager to give Ol' Pete Alexander a lifetime achievement award, so I do. Next, we have two Florida teams. Neither has starting pitching worth anything this year - some great names, mind you, but I can't project greatness onto a 4 ERA guy. oldskool's Oranges do have an Ichiro kicking rear end, and I need a versatile outfielder, because, well, I'm going to have to use a left fielder from the Dickshots or Generics, possibly both, and I need some flexibility, given that this is a seven game series, not one exhibition. Ichiro was selected as a CF a few times in actual AS voting, so he'll be my 4OF. The Dickshots have a decent Joe Jackson playing out of position, and a criminally underused Tim Raines, but I am going to be whimsical and select Jeff Reardon, who is currently the Dynamo League *saves leader*. I still need a Generic. This is bad, because they are bad. Mick doesn't have enough PAs. I could be dull and take the currently average Big Train, but gently caress that. I could amuse myself and take LaTroy Hawkins, but I know how that story ends. So, GOOOOSE Goslin to the rescue. Everyone's now represented, but I still need a bunch of pitching, and a few more backups. One of which has to be a catcher, and when you can take Johnny Bench as a defensive replacement, you don't over-think it. Ernie Banks beat out Joe Cronin because DINGERS, but I want him on my bench. Finally, John McGraw is playing out of his mind, appropriately enough, so he gets added into a large reserve. At this point, I am relatively confident that I'm covered for injury, and, if I were conscientious enough to actually set all the sliders, might tick up "defensive replacements" a bit. I still need pitching. Last year, I went light on the bullpen guys, reasoning that an excellent starter can pull middle relief if necessary, and relievers are a mercurial and fickle lot. However, I would be remiss if I did not include a Rollie Fingers this year, since I don't have an Alfredo Aceves pitching like Mo. '82 Rollie (my setup man) it is, apologies to Beet. Token lefty Hong-Chi Kuo, the Terminator HEN-ke and cool dude Jim Kaat to theoretically throw in low leverage innings. Two more pitchers capable of starting to fill out the Mogul format - oh, look, it's Satchel Paige. I could take prime Tom Seaver from the Losers, but I'll go with Satchel. And finally, who better to mop up than Charley Radbourn?

 Super-League VIII, Dynamo League Week 13: Like the Hall of Fame, there are no winners Games of the Week Don May posted:
Box Score   Don May posted:
Box Score   Hardcore: It's The Way  : You know Yoshida, I've been down lately, but then I remember the things I have accomplished. Like casting Gabriel Pope out of the league forever.  : Uh...right.: Forever! Anyway, the Tornados will now defend their Hardcore Title against the Dickshots, who will win Game 1 after Tom Gordon continues to suck. : But the Tornados march back and win Game 2.: That Dickshots offense never does seem to quite get it together. : And the Tornados retain after the Dickshots turn to Steve Rogers, which goes about as well as you can imagine. And you know, while we're on the subject. The Avengers was totally overrated, just like 90% of what Joss Whedon does. But then again, I guess if you're Joss Whedon, you don't really have to try anymore, because if he wanted to, he could march right into the home of one of his fans, and demand they give him all of the blood from their newborn child, and he'd get it. And how come no one is investigating these gruesome murders? It's because Whedon fans control the internet and suppress any information about their master's unholy thirsts from getting out. : Okay. Are you...feeling okay, Smasher? : The Unspecifieds, who, like Whedon, are unholy abominations, will now try to win the Hardcore Title and close the gap with the Tornados for the Memento Mori Division Lead. But they'll lose Game 1.: And Steve, the Prince of Fate...who is really just King Kelly with sunglasses, leads the way with four hits. : Tornados get an early lead and hold on to win and retain the Hardcore Title. : The Unspecifieds' finesse lefties are having a real tough time against the Tornados' offense. : And the Tornados finish off the sweep.: A very frustrating series for the Unspecifieds. : And that's it for this update. Now leave me alone.Team Statistics       Half-Season in Review! The Good Mel Ott hit 17 home runs and had an OBP of .415, which is fantastic. The Bad The relievers. My god, the relievers.

The Uncertain Who is Kerry Billingsley?       Half-Season in Review!

Yeah, I hosed up. But you know what, that sort of thing happens. In the 24 hours between this update and the last one, there were about 25 separate changes to lineups and rosters. Each of them requires me to figure out what change I'm being asked to make, which often isn't as easy as it should be, open up the file, find the roster, and make the change, which doesn't seem like much, but it adds up. And that's in addition to simming the games, putting out the injury report, and then getting together an update every day. So, yeah, occasionally mistakes are going to be made. I'm sorry, but I'm not actually a machine.
