Dropped the ball on predictions, though to be honest we would have went with the Bloggers and Dervishes, so it's not like we would have gotten any points out of it. Call up Rod Carew and send Carlos Delgado back down. We can make Delgado available for someone that needs a power bat off the bench for a backup 3B better than Ken McMullen, or a dispersal draft pick! Vs. lefties 1. 2B Rod Carew 2. CF Carlos Beltran 3.

Alright with that in order, for all you expansion cup owners let's discuss Playoff Pick 'em Scoring Rules So for the Wild Card Gauntlet, Smasher assigned special scoring values to the teams, but that is not how the rest of this pick 'em will be run. For the Gauntlet, it's very simple: each correct pick earns you 2 points. For the playoff series, you will have to correctly pick the following:
As an example of how this last rule works, let's assume you were picking for last season's league finals between the Bobbleheads and the Losers. We know that the Bobbleheads won the last game in that series 7-4. Choosing any of 8-3, 8-4, 8-5, 7-3, 7-4, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4, or 6-5 for the Bobbleheads would get you the 4 points. What that means, is that for each Gauntlet update, you can score at most 4 points, and for each playoff series update, your maximum is 14.

Before we get down to brass tacks, let's see what the people picked. Burma Imperialists Armitage (JAC) Bograt (TIJ) cbx (DEC) CVE (MDM) Gabriel Pope (OMA) gingemidget (WAL) GrickleGrass (MAN) mooseontheloose (HRV) Monathin (CNT) NotThatSamBeckett (PAR) Pander (SAD) theacox (CER) Cleveland Commies cbx (DEC) gingemidget (WAL) GrickleGrass (MAN) mooseontheloose (HRV) Senerio (NOW) Rochester Generics Armitage (JAC) CVE (MDM) Gabriel Pope (OMA) Monathin (CNT) NotThatSamBeckett (PAR) Pander (SAD) theacox (CER) Spokane Air Raids Bograt (TIJ) Senerio (NOW) As you can see, the Imperialists are big favorites in this round, as well they should be. They have the best regular season record, the most past successes, and the touch of nobility. Beyond that, the expansion owners seem split between the Commies and Generics, with a slight edge to Rochester, probably because of their history. No one much likes the Air Raids, probably because they didn't fix their pitching, and as that doomed them in the regular season, there's no reason to think it won't do so here as well. Okay, enough prologue, let's check the results... Standings Imperialists and Generics advance The only team with decent pitching in the round absolutely rolled to a victory in this round, with that 11-1 record against the Commies being a Gauntlet record for success against one team. I have the feeling that a lot of people are going to pick the Imperialists next round, too. They came close, they really did, but they just didn't have the consistent hitting they needed to make up for their spotty pitching. Also, Gio Gonzalez had a bad roll, I assume because the Mogul engine heard about the PED allegations. But don't give up, Faustoan Bargain, it's a poo poo-ton easier to build your second team. The Generics are kind of amazing, in that they should have died about ten times by now, but they just keep trucking. Hell, they only went 18-22 here, and that usually gets a team relegated in the Gauntlet, but they somehow managed to last to another round. Eventually, your team is going to run out of luck. Maybe that'll happen next round, maybe it won't. I'll never understand a few things about this team, like why you never fixed your pitching, or why you played Bonds in right field, which he simply did not have the arm to handle. It was an interesting team, but not a successful one. The Pick 'Em: A Tradition! Pick TWO!

But, when you've got sixteen or so to do, that can get a bit tricky, so I decided to outsource this obit to Cracked.com. Now, they wanted money, and I only had about $3.50 on hand, so they didn't really work very hard on it, and, somewhere along the way, I think they might have gotten confused as to the point of this obit, but still, I think it came out pretty well! Or good enough, at any rate. Enjoy! - S.D. The 5 Biggest Reasons that Communism Failed The Cold War lasted from 1946 to 1991, that's 45 years where the people of the world lived in constant fear of being blown to atoms at any moment. Also, the fear that the other side would send over a chemically-enhanced boxer who would crush our mightiest heroes. Apollo Creed, we hardly knew ye! Things continued on this way for decades until, in the span of a couple of years, the forces of Communism completely fell apart, and America proved that capitalism was not only the best way to organize an economy, it was the only way. But what did happen to the Reds, anyway? But then again, it's not like the Communists were ever going to win the war, anyway... #5. Star Wars worked...sort of In 1980, America had a choice between a peanut farmer whose term in office had ranged from the comic-tragic to the tragic-tragic and a B-Movie Star who made the brilliant argument that by cutting taxes, the government could collect more in taxes. The people knew a winner when they saw one One of Reagan's signature defense proposals was the SDI project, popularly known as "Star Wars" because it involved futuristic weaponry, advanced space technology and, if all went well, Jedi tanks. This isn't a Jedi tank, but the editors said that this would make sure the article got more hits Of course, none of the technology really worked, as the era of cassette tapes and Ataris wasn't quite up to the task of putting dozens of X-ray lasers into orbit around the planet to guard against Soviet ICBMs. What it did do was cost billions of dollars, causing the national debt of the country to balloon, and setting the stage for thirty years of politicians trying to create a panic about the debt. But while that continuing political strife may yet destroy America, at least it killed the Soviets first. The Soviets weren't stupid, of course, they knew that Reagan couldn't just create super-advanced technology out of nowhere, but, at the same time, they knew that all of those expenditures were going somewhere, and as America's greatest rival, they were pretty sure that it was being used to fight them. So, in the face of this threat, nebulous as it was, they had no choice but to spend money they didn't really have on armaments of their own in response. The resulting expenditures practically bankrupted the Soviet Union, and, ironically, it's hard to keep up the death-struggle against capitalism with no capital. #4. Communism was super-inefficient It turns out that there was only one teensy-tiny problem with the Soviet Union's centrally-planned economy: it didn't work at all. See, for all of the problems that capitalism causes, one thing that it does reasonably well is match supply to consumer demand. If people want iPhones, they'll pay enough for them to make it profitable for Apple to make more of them. Thus, everyone who wants an iPhone, and has the money, can probably get one. Economics was invented by Steve Jobs But in the Soviet Union, that wasn't how things worked. People wanted things like appliances and furniture, but they weren't in charge, the Communist party was and, in the late '70s and early '80s, what they wanted was weapons, and lots of them. The problem for the Communists was that they devoted incredible sums of money to their mighty war machine, in hopes of keeping parity with the Americans, who had the advantage of a much more robust economy on their side, and since the economy was centrally planned, that meant that if the government decided to build tanks instead of toasters, there really wasn't anyone around to pick up that slack. Unless you could combine the two... Amazingly, this wasn't the best was to run an economy, and, by the '80s, it was really starting to strain entire Communist bloc. Of course, that wasn't the only stress they had... #3. Most communist countries hated the Russians A lot of people hate their boss, which is fine when you're working at Kinko's and spend your time downloading torrents and playing Minecraft, but it's not so great when you're trying to destroy capitalism. This lesson brought to you by Cobra Commander The Warsaw Pact was like the Soviet Union's Legion of Doom to NATO's Justice League. The eight members of the Warsaw Pact where all Eastern European countries with communist governments that had been installed by the Soviets in the immediate aftermath of World War II. Amazingly, this did not exactly endear the Soviets to their neighbors, especially when the USSR periodically crushed any attempt made to democratically reform themselves. In fairness, when you spend your entire budget on tanks, you kind of have to use them whenever possible Even worse, the other nationalities in the Soviet Union weren't too happy about being there either, especially the Baltic States who had been conquered by the Soviet Union per the terms of the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact during World War II. Communazis! The net result was that by the '80s, no one really wanted to be part of the Soviet Union, and they were ready to take up arms about it. Normally, this would just have meant another beating by the Red Army, but the leadership of the Soviet Union had recently changed... #2. Gorbachev was a dreamer, whose dream destroyed his country In 1982, Leonid Brezhnev, who had been running the Soviet Union for close to twenty years, died of old age. He was replaced with Yuri Andropov, who was already 68 years old, and not in great health to begin with. But hey, he had experience! Besides, what's the worst that could happen? Total renal failure four months into his reign. That would be the worst. So Andropov spent the last twelve months of his fourteen-month term in the hospital as his health slowly deteriorated. When he died in early 1984, one might think that, with their last two leaders having died in quick succession thanks to age-related illness, that this might be the universe's way of telling them to pick someone a bit more spry to lead their glorious, socialist paradise. But the Soviets said, "gently caress that, the only way to make sure we pick a leader who won't get sick right after taking office is to pick an old guy who's already sick!" Looks pretty fit to me! Enter Konstantin Chernenko, a 73 year-old who was already so ill that he was barely able to attend his own inauguration. Astonishingly, Chernenko didn't last long either, managing only about a year in office before dying. The Soviets had to go back to the drawing board. At this time, the state funeral budget was officially getting out of hand, so the Politburo selected someone a bit younger, tapping 51 year-old Gorbachev for the job. And, like any young turk, Gorbachev had big ideas to fix everything. Unfortunately, they were ideas that would ultimately destroy the entire Soviet Union. The problem was that, for decades, the Soviet Union had covered up most of its problems through massive repression. Someone speaking out against the government? Siberia! Someone missed their crop quota? Siberia! Someone drank the last cup of coffee in the Kremlin without making a new pot? Siberia! It wasn't exactly the most pleasant of lives for Soviet citizens, but it did ensure that they would think twice about questioning their government. But Gorbachev wanted to change that! He put in place economic reforms, as well as loosening restrictions on speech and expression. Normally, that would be a good thing, but it did mean that the people now had the opportunity to get together and discuss how much they disliked the Soviet Union. Even worse, remember those Baltic States? Well, free to talk about their discontent, they decided that they might as well form their own countries. Presumably with blackjack and hookers The normal response from the Soviet government to such disturbances was to send in the army and tell them to just start attacking the local populace until they shut the hell up. But Gorbachev was a different kind of leader, and he was willing to see where this was going, which, as it turned out, was democratic revolutions breaking out in every single country in the Warsaw Pact, as well as independence movements in most of the non-Russia parts of the Soviet Union. By the time he realized what was happening and tried some more reforms, it was too late, and the Soviet Union shattered into 15 pieces, ending the Cold War right then and there. #1. Bob Veale was a terrible choice for the Super-League Bob Veale wasn't a terrible pitcher, but he wasn't all that good, either. In fact, he really only had four good years in his entire career, and they all took place in an era when a kitten could have posted a sub-3.00 ERA in the National League. The league leader in WHIP and cuteness! Anyway, Veale's greatest asset was that, at his best, he could strike out a ton of guys, even leading the National League in strikeouts in 1964. Of course, he led the league in walks allowed four times in five years, which is bad, especially in the Super-League, where a guy like Babe Ruth will eat a pitcher like that alive for lunch. Babe Ruth would also have six hamburgers, a steak, and a bucket of fried chicken The problem with Veale is that while guys like Cliff Lee or Gio Gonzalez might work, it was hard to see how Bob Veale could have possibly succeeded. And, in fact, he didn't, doing so badly for the Commies that he almost certainly doomed the Commies to the first round of the Gauntlet, where they lost by a few games...with Veale in their rotation, making sure that he took the team down with him. Making him the kind of the Super-League equivalent of Joe McCarthy. Though McCarthy probably would have had a lower ERA With the Commies relegated, Communism finally failed for good, meaning that Rocky IV could now only be enjoyed ironically, and that Yakov Smirnoff would be banished to Branson, Missouri, never to return.

I'm okay with Veale sucking for the reasons noted; he was basically a guy who ended up on the team for depth after a solid EC performance. Instead, I'm going to spend the rest of my days hating Kevin Brown and avoiding him when I return after taking a few months off. Just terrible all season long, and I see some Gauntlet relief appearances didn't make me look like a fool for keeping him out of the rotation. Kevin Brown is as terrible as pictures of kittens on baseball gloves are wonderful, is what I'm saying.
