Super-League IX, Pre-Week 18: Futility Injury Report Detroit Cougars Rudy York (C) (Detroit Happened) - 16 days Chipper Jones (3B) (And then Detroit happened again) - 25 days Harvard Elites Nap Lajoie (2B) (Just end the madness already!) - 59 days Lovable Losers Barry Bonds (LF) (Just kind of wandered off, just like the team's owner) - 19 days Rockford Losers Nolan Ryan (SP) (SPRING BREAK!) - Out for Season Sad Pandas Roy Halladay (SP) (The virtual Roy Halladay can not survive the destruction of his flesh and blood counterpart) - 21 days If anyone is going to stop the Bangers, it'll have to be you. The Bobbleheads picked the worst time to be the Bobbleheads. Not quite wrapped up, but getting close. At this point, they're really just screening off the Bobbleheads and Skyhawks for the Bangers. I'm really tired, so all you need to know is that the Mules somehow retained against both the Coburns and Rockford Losers, which would have been a lot more helpful two months ago, and the Rakers iced the Pandas before running into the W's who remembered they're a good team and took the Hardcore Title.

Expansion Cup IX, Week 0: Mistakes Were Made Hello, rookies and returning veterans of the Super League! After a myriad of technical difficulties, with many more to follow, here is the rough draft of what I have for your teams for the Expansion Cup. I know there were definitely roster changes and some mistakes on my end I will spend all day tomorrow fixing. What you should be worried about!
What you should not be worried about!
There are four divisions set up in the Expansion Cup, across two leagues, Larkin(DH) and Downing(No DH), the heroic duo who rose from the ashes of the Lombard St. Gumshoes and cast out the prideful Wausau Woodchucks, and by extension, BrooklynBruiser, from the league. For two whole seasons, anyway. The divisions are named after notable Super-League not-really Superstars, such as Johnny Hopp, the greatest baseball-playing rabbit ever known, Michael Jordan, the ultimate baseketball player. Eri Yoshida, the Japanese highschooler with the terrify(ingly slow) fastball, and Denny Rainwater, no explanation needed. With that in mind, let's see how much I've hosed up your teams! (I don't know where your banner went, Bruizer. I'll put it up in the morning ) (yet another missing banner, sorry Factorialite! )

I'm pretty sure the Juneau Juggernauts hail from Juneau, Alaska. Pretty reasonable assumption to make. As for stadium... if he doesn't respond, have Senerio give you the original dimensions for the Angel Grove Power Rangers' Command Center.

First off my roster doesn't seem to include the two dudes I got in a trade with GVOLTT, 2001 Roberto Hernandez (bullpen) and 1961 Steve Garvey (minors). Also-aaaaaa gently caress it I'm too lazy to individually point out everything here's my poo poo (I'm not sure if "shouldnt be worried about Current lineup/rotation/bullpen setup" includes things like guys in the rotation when they should be in the bullpen or just batting order and such, so I included those fixes just to be safe) ROTATION Dazzy Vance Robin Roberts Ted Lyons Burleigh Grimes Frank Tanana BULLPEN LRP Burleigh Grimes RP John Matlack RP Dick Radatz RP Roberto Hernandez SU Doug Jones CP Tom Henke LINEUP WOOOOOO 1. Richie Ashburn CF 2. Zack Wheat LF 3. Carl Yastrzemski RF 4. Willie McCovey DH 5. Mark Grace 1B 6. Buddy Bell 3B 7. Ryne Sandberg 2B 8. Luke Appling SS 9.

You have a lot of knuckleballers and junkballers for NYS, and not really a whole bunch of sluggers. Perhaps you might try a larger or gimmick stadium to play better to your strengths?

Bruce Sutter, 1988 Francisco Roriguez, 2011 - there are 3, and you have used the first one. John Axford, 2011 is missing: Prince Fielder, 2011 Tim Raines, 1988 Rickie Weeks, 2011 To save time, here is a complete CSV listing of the relevant players: # Pitching: suttebr01,1988 axforjo01,2011 rodrifr03,2011 # Hitting raineti01,1988 fieldpr01,2011 weeksri01,2011 Also, aside from putting Tim, Prince, and Weeks into the starting lineup the hitting was okay. Pitching needs Zack to be number 5 and send the 89/93 guy down to the minors.

Hmm, yeah I noticed that my lineup is so lefty-heavy and just immediately thought to abuse the short porch, didn't think about the fact that my lineup isn't really all that dinger-happy. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll think about it. edit: It was suggested to me to have them play in a fairly neutral park for the EC, and with that in mind the Muggers move from New Yankee Stadium to Turner Field!

Monathin Actually my roster is 96.667% correct, with the one mistake being my fault. Of the many men named Bill Lee who have played baseball throughout history, I was supposed to have the one from 1946. He is leebi02. I apologize. In any event, I will defer to my lineups and pitching configurations as written in my main roster post, now including the Bill Lee identifier correction!.

As far as I can tell, my team is entirely correct, aside from the lineup/rotation stuff. I'm not missing anyone/have anyone extra I shouldn't, anyway. I might well have changes to make (my version of Rose can't play OF? Drat.) but that can wait until the actual EC. \/ Yeah, it's current ability/peak ability.

ST LOUIS CONGRATULATORS When you say "players in the minors who shouldn't be there" do you mean players from the MLB roster? Apologies if I'm telling you something useless, but Salmon should be on the roster and Davis should be in the minors. I'm assuming "who's on the bench" vs. "who's in the lineup" and "order of the starting rotation" don't matter right now? Also, what does the (##/##) mean in front of players? I'm guessing (current ability out of 100/peak ability)? If so, Goldschmidt is pretty bad and I should probably consider playing someone else at 1b.

FairGame posted:ST LOUIS CONGRATULATORS No, I mean randomly named players that will usually have a (R) by their name or something along those lines. These are custom BBM-generated rookies. You're correct in that who's on the bench/lineup/rotation doesn't matter as much as making sure you have all the right players or that your roster isn't completely glitched (See: Oklahoma City), though if you want to make changes, now's the time. As for the numbers, yes. That's the rating. When you have two numbers, that's their current rating versus their peak, they may ramp up slowly to that over the course of the season.

Just a couple of errors on my roster: Missing players - Tommy Bridges from the 1930 Tigers, should be in my minors; and Royce Clayton from the 1999 Rangers should be in the 25-man roster, with Strickland in the minors and Baby Hank Greenberg on the bench. Extra players: To make room for Clayton, as much as he'll suck, Dale Alexander should be placed into the Minors Other notes: Vic Wertz, from the 1954 Indians, should be 1B eligible. If not, no problem, Raffy can play 1B and Wertz DH. And Hoyt rolled a 72? Eeesh. Pick 'em: Home teams win, Champs retain.
