What the gently caress is up with my team? Are you sure you didn't like, transpose a digit and give me a 500-foot-deep center field or something?

 Collins should take all the starts at 2B this week, with Grich platooning at SS vs LHP instead to give Nomar some rest. I see Tanana has a small injury, but it's his start up next. Since I learned last time that small rotations kill seasons, make sure Sutton takes that next start instead of Mogul just skipping Tanana. By next update I fully expect Sundberg will be outhitting Cochrane, and that will sadden me immensely.

 If we didn't have that 0-6 start we'd be somewhat sorta respectable! Still, the Landers are in total beast mode right now, so even taking one game from them is an accomplishment. Wild Card is in our sights! Hopefully the hitting stabilizes somewhat. I would rather have Howard in against lefties, but he's dinged up and off to a pretty slow start. Palmeiro is on a short leash. Get above the Mendoza line, or do I have to call Dr. George Zahorian in? vs. lefties w/ DH - Gary Sheffield in at DH over Howard for this week. vs. righties w/ DH 1. SS Jose Reyes 2. 2B Rod Carew 3. RF Mel Ott 4. DH Gary Sheffield 5. CF Ken Griffey Jr. 6. LF Harmon Killebrew 7. 1B Rafael Palmeiro 8. 3B David Wright 9. C Darrell Porter

This bears asking - why do you have the great hitting catcher in cleanup and not the great hitting 1B guy who's currently leading your team in dingers? If Bagwell was in 4th your offense would even look respectable. Something like: Lajoie .345 with no homers R Vaughn .424 with 4 homers L Moises .418 with 3 homers R Bagwell .363 with 5(!) homers R Arod Terrible with 2 homers R Torre Terrible with 2 homers R Walker .310 with 1 homer L Doby .320 with 2 homers L Williams Ghastly, with no dingers R There's probably a good case for moving Arod to the number two spot and bringing Mo to the 5 hole, but whatever. Arod and Torre should come around. Alternatively, let me do a deal for Bagwell Cthulhu Dreams fucked around with this message at 10:43 on Mar 13, 2013 |

Craig, your team can't hit dingers good because it's stupefied by finally being in a league with cool dinger-hitters like the Web 2.0 Bloggers BETA

It seems that tickling around the mendoza line for OBP is par for the course (only about half of my team is over .300 OBP), but A-rod hitting below .200 just seems a little iffy if it keeps up. (Besides, he's 97/100, what do you even do when someone with stats like that under performs? Can you even inflate the stats at that point?) I have no idea what I'm doing with these challenges or whatever, I was just told in IRC that if he persists with his poor performance I could have a viable reason to challenge. I'll give it at least another month as we're still too early to tell, but I've got my eye on him for the time being.

The Bobbleheads always were a pitcher short of true greatness.      You probably should have traded Lou Boudreau for something more useful to your team when you had the chance. Just to be clear, you don't have the chance now.      Running really, really fast only gets you so far when you don't get to play the dregs of the league any more.    : The Imperialists still have the Hardcore Title, but the Lovable Losers want to make their mark on the Super-League with a big upset of a veteran team! Can they pull it off? What do you think, special guest commentator Johnny Hopp. : ...: Oh, yeah, rabbits still can't talk...unless you're either really high...or in touch with nature...or high and in touch with nature.    : And the Lovable Losers can't pull it off, but it's still a strong showing for them, I think. They lose this series on two one-run losses to a very good Imperialists team. I think they're better than their record indicates. But still, they failed. And now the Antarctica Unspecifieds will get their shot. The Unspecifieds, of course, are all about contact hitting. Now, that's a risky strategy, but they've avoided relegation twice, and that's no easy feat. Just ask Armitage! Poor Armitage   : And a strong showing from the Unspecifieds! They'll take the Hardcore title in three straight back to their Antarctic home, while I try to figure out how long I can delay writing another recap for them because I'm out of ideas for them.   : And this is the big one! All three titles are on the line! The Potatoes are trying to steal two titles from the W's, W's trying to take the Television Title back from Potatoes!   : Tots win! Tots win! And this is the greatest moment in...Oh, god, it's the Queens Mercuries' music! And they may or may not have won the Heavyweight Title from the Manatees earlier in the week! And now they're coming for all of the Potatoes' titles! Can Grinnblade and his team hang on?    : NO! The Mercuries pick up all three titles to add to the zero or one titles they currently hold! That's incredible! And Grinnblade is probably wondering why these horrible things keep happening to his team! Your thoughts, Johnny Hopp?: ...: I feel like we would have a better back-and-forth if I took peyote.Pick 'em Mania is running wild, brother! Pick the Winner!

 World Heavyweight Champion Intercontinental Champion European Champion I am one championship shy of a GRAND SLAM!!! I will be earning this last championship and joining the ranks of such greats as Eddie Guerrero, Chris Jericho, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, John "Bradshaw" Layfield, Christian, Kane, Booker T, and some dudes now in TNA. That championship... is the Super-League championship!
