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)}

Voting for option B.

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.

Well, if you're looking to burn the team down, I'd take Garciaparra off your hands for free, but I imagine you wanna try something to salvage the season first.

I'm gonna throw this out there: I'll offer you a choice of McCovey or Cepeda, and a choice of Jim Ray Hart or Jim Davenport for 3B. If you need a pitcher as well, we can talk about adding one. McCovey and Cepeda both roll consistently in the mid 90's, Hart is just coming off a 132 OPS+ year where he came in 2nd in the Rookie of the Year voting. Davenport isn't as solid as Hart, but he can play 2B/SS/3B pretty much equally well on defense.

Okay, I think the auto-tiebreaker thing was just a glitch, so if we did do divisions it would be 5 and 5/4 and 4, and I've already got a pretty decent set-up.

Well, poo poo, nothing is going well at all at this point. And I forgot to make my pick and other changes before I went to bed so I got another week with the busted bullpen of doom. gently caress. And now Averill's down for a month as well. That should be manageable at least, I can't imagine Young Musial being that much worse than him defensively. To that end, move Stan Musial to CF and put Zach Wheat in LF (and in Averill's spot in the lineup).

Now, back to the matter of my questionable hurlers... With the 51st pick in the draft, the Dervishes select 1993 Mike Stanton and immediately set about reconfiguring the failed bullpen.

Super-League VIII, Smasher League Week 14: But What of the Packers?

Games of the Week

Don May posted:

MASHERS KILL WHALERS 22-1

Hartford- With a horrifying fury that left the Whalers reeling, the Mashers annihilated the Hartford team 22-1.

It was a massacre, as the Mashers piled up 22 hits against the Whalers' 5. The Mashers started with eight runs in the first two innings, and then piled on fourteen more in the seventh and eighth. The Whalers seemed to be increasingly stunned by what was happening, with some seeming almost unbelieving that they could be beaten so thoroughly.

mks5000, owner of the Whalers and one of the last 13 people to still live in Hartford, was shell-shocked, "They just kept hitting, no matter what we did, they just kept hitting, over and over again. I begged with them to ease off, I pleaded with them. But they wouldn't listen, they just kept hitting, and there was nothing we could do! Nothiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!"

Why the lack of mercy? CraigK, the owner of the Mashers, was asked that exact question, and answered, "No mercy! The only mercy I can offer is the sweet mercy of death! And that's a...good mercy that I can offer the Whalers right...now. Because I have no mercy...except when I do. Uh...yeah! Because me and the Mashers are a tough team! And we enjoy killing other teams, because we're stone cold killers from the mean streets of New Orleans. Back when I was a kid, I use to slash tires on cars just for fun, because that is what tough guys do! Yeah! Bad asses!"

In other news, it was found that these quotes from the owners, while revealing, did not fill enough space, forcing reporters to scramble for more content, ending with Matt Williams, who hit a triple and two home runs in the game, to narrate his typical Saturday morning in an attempt to kill some space, "Well, I usually get up around ten, and make myself some corn flakes. Not the brand name, but the generic brand, because that's cheaper, and, well, they're corn flakes, you can't really tell the difference anyway. I also make some tea. Now I usually have coffee on weekdays, but on the weekends, I really like a good black tea to start off the day. Now, not Earl Grey, because that bergamot has a certain zing that I'm not sure is really a 'Saturday' thing, but just some normal black tea. Once I'm done with my breakfast, I like to go on a walk through the woods near my house. After all, winter is coming, and I need to get some firewood. It's usually pretty nice this time of year. There's a crispness to the air that is just invigorating. And the solitude is nice. Most days, you're just crammed in with so many people out there..."

GAME NOTES

-Nap Lajoie, for his part, does enjoy Earl Grey tea.

-Did you know that Eddie Collins and Alex Rodriguez have never been seen at the same place at the same time in real life? Could they secretly be the same person?

-I will totally admit to not bringing my A-Game on Packer gamedays.

Box Score

FAILURES HEROICALLY FAIL

Cooperstown- Failure is its own reward.

The bases were loaded with no outs in the top of the ninth inning. The Failures were down 4-2, but had already scored a run in the inning, and were ready to complete their rally. The next batter, Yogi Berra, hit a long fly ball, that scored a run on a sac fly. Now there were runners on first and second and the Failures were only down one. Next up, Adrian Gonzalez, who popped the ball out to second, not even letting the runners advance. Now there were two outs, and Ray Lankford represented the last hope of the Failures. Lankford battled Robb Nen pitch after pitch, eventually drawing the count full. With two outs and a full count, runners would run on the pitch, so if Lankford could hit the ball fair, the run would almost certainly score, and the game would be tied.

Nen threw a fastball and Lankford struck out, badly misjudging the speed. Game over.

After the game, mentholmoose, who is, ironically, not actually a moose, though he is 70% menthol by volume, was livid, "loving assholes! What the gently caress was this loving poo poo about? loving strikeout to loving end the game? I didn't know "Lankford" was some other language for 'complete sack of poo poo'! Then again, I don't speak Lankford's loving native tongue of 'lovely loving useless-ese! This team is a loving bunch of shitstains, motherfuckers, and shitstain motherfuckers, and these cocksucking pieces of poo poo deserve to get loving relegated. The gently caress is happening here? Oh, and gently caress Andy Reid!" Upon being informed that Reid had, in fact, been fired from his position as coach of the Eagles, mentholmoose appeared distraught, "But...but...I don't understand? Who will I loving hate now? Are the Sixers any good this year? No? And we traded for loving Andrew Bynum and his loving non-functional knees! gently caress Doug Collins!"

Robert_Deadford, who still claims to be just a 'normal human person living in the Central European region of your United States of America', seemed to be his usual effervescent self, "Ah, how enjoyable to watch two factions fight each other so! The contest was a delight to observe! I recall one time, not so long ago, and that three of my parent units took me to see a similar game when I was at...home. There was much blood, as you would expect. So very much blood. I had never seen so much, the bright green ichor staining the ground." Asked where, exactly, this mysterious event took place, Robert_Deadford seemed flustered for a moment before telling reporters that, "It was bowling. That is what happened when you bowl."

: Biosparks win their third straight over the Gumshoes, and it'll be interesting to see if they can hold on to any momentum in the coming weeks. Until then, good night!

Team Statistics

Analysis

In a better world, you'd have one more good starter. In this one, you still have enough talent to win the division.

Analysis

The Commies have been getting better, but I think they need one more elite player, whether or defense or offense, to do much of anything.

Analysis

You have two good starting pitchers, and three that are just straight-up murdering your team.

Analysis

If the Phoenixes only had more starting pitchers...

Analysis

Falkenberg didn't have the best debut with your team, but it's only one game.

Analysis

Ryan is a truly unlucky dude.

Analysis

Mogul just hates Jackson, apparently.

Analysis

At least you dragged a decent season out of Wakefield. That's impressive.

Analysis

Yeah, Craig, your team is just completely hosed!

Analysis

The Maths are a pure finesse team. In general, you can never really trust a finesse team to perform.

Analysis

Much like a Philly Cheese Steak, this team is slowly killing your soul/intestines.

Analysis

Saying that you've been very unlucky probably isn't going to make you feel all that better.

Analysis

Another pendulum swing.

Analysis

Vance can't have another start that bad, can he?

Analysis

W's kill everyone, big surprise.

Igniting St. Bellhorn's funeral pyre."

Okay, Mornacale, let's break down your proposed trade:

'67 Hank Aaron, one of the greatest power hitters of all-time, starting RF
'85 Wade Boggs, one of the best hitters of his era, starting 3B
'62 Juan Marichal, great pitcher, the ace of the Elephants' staff
'43 Stan Musial, one of the best hitters of all-time, starting CF
'74 Don Sutton, solid pitcher, the Elephants' 2nd-best starter

for

-A most untested McCutchen, who is mainly getting playing time because of injury
-Herman, who is essentially filler, and you are using a platoon player when Bonds is healthy
-Ordonez, who is filler at best
-Lolich, who is an innings eater in a league that eats innings eaters for breakfast, and who you don't even use in your rotation
-Pappas, best known for being on the wrong end of another lopsided trade
-Robinson, who can't really hit, and was kept on the bench by an ancient Mathews
-Mathews, who was so badly injured that he's effectively out for the season
-And Glavine, who is the only one of these players you actually intend to use full-time

Let's break that down a bit more, essentially, you want to trade

-McCutchen for Musial
-Aaron for Herman and Ordonez
-Boggs for Robinson and the remains of Mathews
-Marichal for Pappas and Lolich
-Sutton for Glavine

There is not a single one of those trades that would be good for the Elephants. He is essentially getting your bench in exchange for the top five players on his team. How the gently caress am I supposed to allow that, or any of these trades?

You want to make a deal? Make a deal that materially improves the Elephants. Pulling out Sutton and Glavine doesn't change the tenor of the deal. I'm not going to let an owner of a disappointing team play kingmaker.

Fine, trade approved. Bloggers, do me one loving favor. Win the Super-League Championship. Because I want the honor of snuffing out your team's life myself.

No, it's fine! You've reminded me of my duty to my team, Smasher. I have to face this with dignity and poise.
