Super-League VIII, Week 14: Remember when I said 'no update'? I lied. Games of the Week Don May posted:
Box Score Don May posted:
Box Score Hardcore Hell: The Tornados Always Win : The Cancun Tornados' offense, better known as "The Machine" is up against the Generics, and the Hardcore Title is on the line. : This is going to be a slaughter, isn't it? : Granted, the Tornados are going to win Game 1. : And Game 2. : Poor Generics. kw0134 tried so hard, and all he got was that weird obit where, well, you know. : The Machine rolls on as the Tornados sweep! : Granted, beating the worst team in the league at home isn't much of an accomplishment. : Fair enough, but facing the Dervishes in Dubai should be more of a challenge. : The Dervishes' outstanding defense hasn't failed them yet. : And the Dervishes get an extra-innings win with a Bench walk-off home run. : And the Tornados come back with an extra innings win of their own. : Two good teams, neither of which adhere to the traditional "aggregation of sluggers" method of team building originated by Marauder. : Tornados win in a walk, and they'll retain the Hardcore Title once again. : That makes four straight defenses for the Cancun club. : And we're done. Next week, Tornados-Coburns and then either Tornados-Oranges or Coburns-Finger-Bangers. Analysis Still out there? Analysis Here's hoping this month is better than the last. Analysis At least Hilton and Dihigo are doing well. Of course, that's about all that's going well. Analysis THE MACHINE! Analysis Your reward for resting players? The Bangers take over first place. Damned if you do, and damned if you don't. Analysis Almost time to break out...probably. Analysis Time to rearrange your bullpen. Analysis Well, oldskool had done it The Oranges had won it With Roger Clemens clucking all the while Mike Scioscia's tragic illness made us smile While Wade Boggs lay unconscious on the bar room tile We're Talkin' Softball From Maine to San Diego Talkin' softball Mattingly and Canseco Ken Griffey's grotesquely swollen jaw Steve Sax and his run-in with the law We're talkin' Homer... Ozzie, and the Straw We're Talkin' Softball From Maine to San Diego Talkin' Softball Mattingly and Canseco Ken Griffey's grotesquely swollen jaw Steve Sax and his run-in with the law We're talkin' Homer... Ozzie, and the Straw Analysis Steve Rogers has doomed America! Analysis What more can be said? Analysis Did the Spooners win their trade? Only time will tell. But, well, if they avoid the Gauntlet, then they did, if not, then they didn't. Analysis If the season ended today, the Bulldogs would make the playoffs, because TKBomber's deal with the devil is still good for another three seasons. Analysis TKO! Analysis The Losers are going to win the Vae Victis Division unless something completely insane happens. Of that, I'm sure. Analysis Well, that sucked. Analysis drat you, Magglio!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Am I too late to make trades with EC teams? Because I AM STILL LOOKING FOR ONE MORE STARTER . https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0An1vnNr07Cg1dExCRUtvbzFrNDZYYTVpOHJKelRPVlE#gid=0 I'm most equipped to offer outfield help, but I don't think anyone is totally off-limits. (I'll also point out that while Konerko is at AAA thanks to difficulties against SL pitching, he was an EC All-Star and made it to the HR Derby finals at that event. He could certainly help an EC club looking for an advantage at 1B.)

Wheat back in at LF, Vaughan back in at SS, and Oliver can take over for Klein in RF.

Faustoan Bargain posted:Am I too late to make trades with EC teams? Because I AM STILL LOOKING FOR ONE MORE STARTER . I'd be interested in 1937 Averill. Any starters/relievers on the Failures interest you? I'm not trading Alexander, Maddux, or Cone right now, though.

But once your teams die, in that sleep of death, what teams may come? Reinstate Lajoie at second. Send down Polanco and Olerud, bring up Berkman and Vladdy. As Bonds is tired (again), shift Teddy back to left and try Vlad in right.

I would be interested in 1937 Earl Averill and am willing to offer any starter except Pete Alexander and Bert Blyleven. Also, put Joe Medwick into right field and bench Frank Robinson.

Expansion Cup VIII Poll! Expansion Cup Owners: It has come to my attention that as the leagues are currently set up, the top record in each league will automatically advance to the Expansion Cup Championship Series (aka the World Series). I could theoretically divide the leagues into two divisions each (McQueen League's divisions would be 6 and 4, and Taggart League's would be 4 and 4), which would enable us to have League Championship Series. The question, then, is: Is that something you'd be interested in? A) MORE PLAYOFFS FOR THE PLAYOFF GODS! B) MAY THE BEST REGULAR SEASON TEAM WIN! C) I HAVE A BETTER IDEA! The Office of the Commissar of the Expansion Cup takes no responsibility for any tragedy that may befall your team as a result of picking this option. (although seriously if you have a better idea I'm all ears)

Even though I'm not an EC owner, wouldn't it make more sense to split the McQueen league's divisions 5 and 5? Or is that a Mogul limitation?

Generics! That Nomar is now useless to you. If you wish to have any chance of starting the Gauntlet in a round higher than the 1st. I know you'll need a replacement infielder and probably a pitcher, what exactly would you be looking for?

What are you offering? At this point though I'm kind of disgusted with how BBM has treated this team and am ready to set it on fire and claim the insurance proceeds. If I'm going to change the fortunes of this team, I'd want to try to go for a blockbuster trade.
