Pick 'Em Stuff https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqPdA8xeuUcDdC10NnFLUUtkelZMLVEyX3VvZ2haSHc&usp=drive_web#gid=3 2 people picked the Ws, both in 7. Captain Yesterday was one of 'em. His lead isn't insurmountable, mathematically speaking, but this thing is fuckin' over. He's gonna get that extra pick. 1.) Captain Yesterday, 47 points 2.) The Goog and TKBomber, 32 points 4.) Me, 31 points Everyone else: eliminated Errata: Smasher had you all pick 2 survivors for the final round. Now that's not going to be a thing since the number will be either 1 or 3 (I vote for 3 teams, btw, Smasher). Rather than have folks re-pick, I'm just going to award points to the top 2 teams in this Gauntlet round, even if it's not strictly "the survivors." If you have a problem with this, speak now.

Vote 3 survivors and really let's all pull for the Losers because everyone likes the W's and it's fitting that they live forever through playoff consistency and a complete inability to win the big one.

Probably moot, but I vote option A. Smasher: Do I need to create updated DH lineups for this series? Or, since I have home field advantage for this, are we doing all no DH lineups for the finals?

Hey Monicro, I'm interested in that Joe Torre+ for my 1st round pick. What year is the Torre, and which of your starting pitchers are you willing to part with?

Those were some great game summaries. Lance Berkman has surprising range (as a thespian, certainly not in the field). I believed in you, Kerry Wood.  Re: the vote - two leagues, each with its own update, allowing four days between them - one less game summary an update for Smasher, fewer roster changes at a time. More competitive performances for young teams. Ideally you'd have a mid-season relegation with replacements from a much-reduced expansion class, but that's logistically impossible, I expect.

Because I have to use this at least once... Super League XI Finals Leave my no DH lineups as they were from the previous rounds. New lineups for the with DH games in Bolton: vs RHP w/ DH 2B Alomar LF Speaker DH O’Doul CF Charleston 1B Thomas RF Oliva SS Cronin C Martinez 3B Frisch vs LHP w/ DH LF Speaker DH O’Doul SS Cronin 1B Thomas CF Charleston RF Robinson C Torre 3B Youkilis 2B Kent Even though he's been my offensive MVP this season, I've decided to sit Frank Robinson for Tony Oliva to try and take advantage of the short RF wall in Bolton. Victor Martinez will also get a couple of starts in Bolton to take advantage of his switch hitting and that short RF wall. One final set of changes to the pitching staff. Seeing how Marauder's wild, live-armed righty fared in Bolton, I'm not going to start Nolan Ryan for this series instead opting for the better control of lefty Jerry Koosman. Pitching staff is as follows: SP1 Paige SP2 Seaver SP3 Drysdale SP4 Koosman CL Myers SU Bedrosian SR Wetteland SR Rhodes MR Bentancourt LR Lee Mop Ryan I wish the best to ForeverBWFC, but I do not intend to lose for the 3rd time in the league finals.

Kensei. You might want to reconsider that pick before smasher comes and tells you how bad it is. Kuenn would have probably been available in the 4th round, and people would gladly trade you better shortstops for the pick. Heck, I'd gladly trade you Vern Stephens for it, who is a better shortstop.

If you're married to Kuenn he'll probably be around in like the 4th round. Mr. Cool Ice posted:Before you make that pick, are you interested in trading? I can get you a SS plus some more pieces. This would be the better idea short of just taking "best pick available" rather than drafting for need. Proposal: If he's not been given his new owner gift yet, how about that Kuenn he just drafted at no charge? That won't change competitive balance at all

Let's see if the W's manage the triple miracle and beat both the Losers and the Macho Men after that. It would be funny to finally do it after being the league oldie for so long together with the Bangers. As for the vote I guess if Smasher has no problems with two additional teams then who am I to deny them survival after coming this far. B

Just to let everyone know, I've come down with something and I might be going to urgent care in a day or so if it doesn't clear up. I'll still be running the Franchise Challenge, it'll just be delayed for a couple of days at the latest. I'm still looking to start it up 2 or 3 days after Smasher finishes the playoffs, so... in a week or thereabouts. Nothing to worry about, really.

Super-League XI Finals: South Bolton Eazy W's vs. Rockford Losers The Eazy W's are the underdogs here, there's no doubting that. They did get by the Finger-Bangers, but a lot of that has to go down to some questionable pitching choices by Marauder, and the extreme home-field advantage they held, and, even then, they barely were able to get by the Bangers. The Losers aren't going to make the same sort of mistakes with their own pitching staff, and their home stadium is rather inimical to left-handed power, as far as Super-League stadiums go. Is it possible the W's win? Sure. Is it likely? No, it really isn't. The W's did well to get here, but barring a miracle, this is likely as far as the W's are going to be able to go.  The Rockford Losers still haven't lost a game this postseason. I don't know that, at this point, it's a particularly interesting question whether the Losers are going to win this championship, as it's almost inconceivable that they won't. No, the real question is how much longer they can keep the postseason winning streak going. Game 1 Don May posted:
Box Score Game 2 Don May posted:

Box Score   Game 4 Don May posted:
Box Score   (26 Weeks * 4 Games of the Week) + 2 Wildcard Games + 16 Divisional Round Games + 11 Championship Round Games + 4 Finals Games = 137 Full writeups. Ladies and Gentlemen, Super-League XI was an incredibly taxing experience, and probably not worth the effort. However, after an incredible amount of hardship and misery, I hereby present you the undisputed champions of the Super-League:  ToiletofSadness! The decision as to whether the Challenge will use DH rules or not is yours to make. Everyone Else! See you next season.

 Macho Men Challenge Roster As you can see, Smasher, I have opted to contest this final matchup under no DH rules. I've not opted for any fancy substitutions for this series. Unlike the Eazy Ws, the Macho Men employ no cheap gimmicks to mask a lack of talent. This is the team I rode to 103 regular season wins and a clean sweep of the playoffs. They're as ready as they'll ever be for this showdown of champions.
