Smasher League Divisional Series: New World Symphony vs. Fukuoka Finger-Bangers

Listen dudes and dudettes, writing these obits about DC Comics, which is my real passion, has been taking up a lot of my time, so I was forced to turn to some outside help to write about this series. Fortunately, The Merry Marauder stepped in and, in return, I've agreed to look the other way if he creates another alt account. Enjoy!

The Merry Marauder posted:

THE JOURNAL OF THE MERRY MARAUDER

My name, as always, is the Merry Marauder, and I am your once and future champion.

Oh, yes, I can already here the clucking from the thread. The high-pitching whines of cracking voices that loudly decry me achievement. That say "The Marauder Syndicate should not be!" And, of course, I'm sure there are some. Humungus most notable among them, no doubt, that I am being presumptuous. But I'd like to tell you a little story that, I am certain will assuage any doubts you might have about my upcoming coronation. Yes, it is time the world knew of the lonesome death of the New World Symphony.

The New World Symhpony, as you might recall, are mrnoun's latest team. His Luna Landers won Super-League IX. His Galactic Wanderers won Super-League X. For understandable reasons, his latest offering, the New World Symphony has rather lofty expectations placed on it. And, to be fair, they did have a quite good regular season, netting mrnoun another division crown and holding onto the Television Championship for an entire season. Those are no small feats, but they are also a team without any solid hitters besides Josh Gibson. And, as an aside, I have plans for him. Plans that will change everything. Their pitching, though fearsome, is, at best, merely a match for my own staff, and I have the advantage of an unbeatable lineup to support them.

No doubt you have noticed something rather askew about the Symphony's banner, as well, but, worry not, all will be explained in time.

The Symphony, being a fly-by-night operation, played their games in the ruins of the Wanderers' old park, which had crashed into Scranton, Pennsylvania. Then again, Scranton is best known for environmentally unsound coal mining and The Office. Their aesthetic sense leaves something to be desired, sadly.

My own team, steeped in glory and greatness, and of such magnificence that it became the hub of an entire syndicate of teams under its aegis. The Finger-Bangers, unfairly, I must say, have been overlooked this past season. The Losers had the acclamation of the crowds, even our own commissar named them the uncrowned champions. Never mind that they have never won a championship and I have a total of three to my name. My team has the best pitching in the Smasher League according to just about any measure. We have a lineup packed full of Hall of Famers and, most important of all, we have pedigree.

And, of course, playing at Sumitomo Mitsui Group Park, we also have the backing of the zaibatsu.

Game the First

The first game was somewhat of a disappointment. Oh, yes, we won 5-2, a solid win, and yet I was not satisfied. That damned Dave Parker hit two home runs. Although, I must say, that Dave Parker represented the sum total of the Symphony's offense? Well, there something darkly amusing about that. The two-time champion of the Super-League, the man who built the almighty Luna Landers, mrnoun reduced to relying on Dave Parker for help?

Of course, on the flip side, giving up two home runs to Dave Parker of all people was a failure of my pitching staff, especially of Rollie Fingers who, even though he didn't blow the game, for once, still gave up another home run. Still, my offense came through, as they so often do, and made that lapse moot.

I feel I must digress at this point to explain my feelings for Rollie Fingers. A very long time ago, I made a promise that, no matter what happened, he would be my closer. It is a promise that, at times, I have regretted, especially given his predilection for bitter, bitter defeats in the playoffs. But for me, a promise made is a promise kept, and I have allowed Rollie to continue on as my closer to this day, even though it is slowly driving me mad.

That said, every promise has its loophole, and I decided, after careful consideration, that if I simply did not use any relievers in the remainder of the series, then I would not be bound to bring Rollie Fingers into the game at all. A risky gambit in normal circumstances, but the Symphony were so punchless that I had little to fear from them. No, this would work.

I did have other concerns, of course. My child teams were not doing as well. The Gumshoes had just been relegated which, although sadly predictable, was still somewhat vexing. The Premodernists have a better chance of surviving the Gauntlet, but not a good chance. The Coburns had been taken out on the final day of the season, and although they'll be fine in the long run, it still broke my heart to see them laid low by the Tornados, who I have never much cared for. Not to mention that but for the Rockford Losers lying down, they would have made the playoffs. I know that, soon, I will get my chance to deal with Humungus and his team personally, and I am looking forward to it.

mrnoun looked rather lost after the game. I suppose, in his mind, he understood that attempting to beat the mighty battleship of the Bangers with his rowboat of team was an impossible task, even for him, but to see his team dismantled so thoroughly, it must have been crushing for him.

I wonder if there would be anyway to acquire Josh Gibson for myself. I imagine that I have enough spare parts in my minors to make mrnoun an offer that he cannot refuse. How many players would it take? Five hitters? Six? I have the talent to pull if off. And Gibson would finally give me the steadying presence I need behind the plate. Of course, if I did that, there would be riots. The other owners, the weaker owners would be outraged that I would acquire another superstar for my team. And I'd agitate the rabble anymore. After all, I suppose I should leave them with some hope that they have a future, quiescence suits them.

I remember the last time I won a championship, back in Super-League VIII. I realize now that I should have sent the Phoenixes to meet the Macho Men, and kept the Bangers in the league. The Imperialists and Coburns were ready to take the load in the Dynamo League, but the Smasher League was fragile. The Phoenixes were hardly dominating, and the league suffered as a result as weak teams that should not have survived, the New Orleans Mashers, the Montreal Manatees, and those Queens Mercuries, all survived longer than they should have. The League needed the Bangers to be strong, needed them to separate the weak from the chaff, and yet I threw them away against the Macho Men. I wonder, if I face that same choice again, will it be different this time, or will my hubris once more be the end of me.

Then again, hubris implies that my pride outpaces my greatness, and that is hardly the case here.

It was a good night.

Game the Second

Today's game was a tedious affair. My own offense sputtered, unable to make much headway against Pete Alexander who, for far, far too longer, has been the bane of my existence in the Super-League. Seeing him in this series did fill me with a certain nostalgia for the earlier days of the Super-League.

My thoughts, as they often do in such situations, turned to Hesiod and The Works and The Days. I believe that the Super-League itself has lived through a variety of ages, and, sad to say, to this point, they are on a downward trajectory. In the best days, the league was ruled by myself and TKBomber. Men of vision. Men who loved this thread and were willing to go to drastic lengths because of that love. For five seasons, we ruled the league like gods among men. It was a Golden Age. New owners came out of the woodwork constantly, and everything was simply more fun.

And then that bastard blakelmenakle ruined everything. He and his Bobbleheads. There was no great love for the Super-League within blaklemenakle, his was a dilettante, and something magical of those early days was lost when he won his first championship. And yet, compared to what was to come, I suppose it was a silver age comparatively speaking. blakelmenakle was an original owner, and he had shown patience. Perhaps that is a lesser virtue, but it is virtue nonetheless.

Of course, that led to our current era of misery. Seasons where passionless men with spreadsheets conquered this fair league. C. Everett Koop, CthulhuDreams, Humungus, and, of course, mrnoun. These were men who cared only for their precious numbers, and did not appreciate the artistry, the style, the camaraderie the league had once held so dear. These men are ruining everything, reducing what was once a great game into just so many mathematical functions. I fear to think that, if this is the Super-League's Bronze Age, what the Iron Age will bring.

As for the game itself, there is not much to say. As good as Alexander was, my own sluggers were up to the task, and hit two home runs. The Symphony offense, somehow even more pathetic than the previous game, managed to hit three singles for zero runs, and Addie Joss easily managed the complete game.

I must say, however, that I am at least a little fortunate that Josh Gibson, to this point, has failed to reach base even a single time. He was likely the best player in the Smasher League this season, and, in all honesty, the one man that allowed the Symphony to reach the playoffs in the first place. I have no doubt that, in a game or two, his bat will come back to life. Of course, by then, it will be far too late.

I talked with Viscount Slim after the game. Apparently his series with the Pirates has become a closely-contested affair. I find it puzzling that Beet of all people has managed to build a formidable team, but I suppose the Pirates have proven themselves over the past two seasons. I suppose he fits in more with the blakelmenakle class of owners than mrnoun's ilk. In any event, I would prefer the Pirates to advance. They are no threat to my Bangers in the finals, and I would very much like to capture the four titles they hold. The Imperialists are in a good place. They hold down the rest of the Memento Mori Division and, along with the Coburns, have proven invaluable at ensuring that expansion teams in the Dynamo League do not live to see their second season. It's an important part of what makes the Syndicate work. The meek will not inherit this league as long as I am here. A rookie owner does not deserve a winning team. He must prove his commitment to this league before he is worthy of even a playoff spot. I guard this league against the riffraff. You should all be very thankful.

It was a good night.

Game the Third

The deed is done! mrnoun's dynasty lies broken, and I once again head to the Smasher League Championship Series as a dominant force.

In the end, the Symphony failed because they were simply not as good as the Bangers. Their pitching was not up to the task. And given that in the course of the whole series, the only runs they scored came on those two Dave Parker home runs in Game 1, it is fair to say that they were hardly adequate either. I suppose any time Dave Parker has 100% of your RBIs and runs, something has gone terribly, terribly wrong. I am glad the Symphony have failed. The only owner who should dominate this league is one who has proven his dedication to it, and only I have done so.

By virtue of the sweep, I also took mrnoun's Television Title from him. Odd things these secondary titles. I have won more of them than I can remember. I like winning them. In the Super-League, it's hard to have many displays of dominance. Yes, winning the division is nice, but that is more a process of accretion, of winning a few games every week until, by the end of the season, you are the champion. It is as dramatic as watching wind erosion. And crushing teams in the playoffs is all well and good, but that only comes around once every season. These titles, though, they allow me to impress on the other owners just how great I am and how powerful my team is. I admit it is slightly primal of me, like a wolf howling at the moon. I like to imagine myself as a wolf, at times, leader of a proud pack, preying on the weak and sick to make us stronger. I suppose there is something to be said that the writ of outlawry pronounced "Caput gerat lupinum." A man who stands a part from society and desires neither society's protections nor its confining rules. Yes, I quite like the sound of that.

Dazzy Vance pitched well today, which was something of a surprise, but a welcome one. Come to think of it, it's unclear whether or not he pitched well, or the Symphony batters were so impotent that a pitching machine likely would have shut them out. For that matter, my hitters have disappointed me this series. True, we won the game 9-0, but only because we scored six times in the top of the ninth inning, when the game and series were essentially already over.

Still, it was a resounding victory, though only the first step. I must next face the winner of the Rakers/Eazy W's series, and I feel conflicted. On the one hand, I know that the Bangers could easily defeat the Eazy W's. In Super-League VIII, the Phoenixes humiliated them in the Smasher League Championship Series, and the Bangers are a considerably better team than the W's. Further, in such a series, I would hold home-field advantage and, even in games I did not, my team would play in their stadium, with its short right field fence. I'm sure Barry Bonds and Ted Williams could do a great deal of damage in that stadium, especially if Ms. Yoshida should enter the game.

On the other hand, the Rakers defeated the Bangers in a fluke result last season, and I would be lying to myself if I did not have some primal desire for revenge against them. Losing to a team from England? An unbearable disgrace that needs to be rectified. Further, I would like to get my Intercontinental Title back if at all possible, and since the W's are manifestly incapable of sweeping the Rakers, the only way I could accomplish that feat would be if they advanced.

In the end, I suppose it's out of my hands, and there's not much to do at the moment but wait.

It was a good night.
