Pick 'em: History Repeats Itself

Just to refresh your memories, you get one point for correctly picking a champion to retain, three points for correctly picking a challenger to steal the championship, which can only happen if the challenger sweeps the champion, and zero points for incorrect guesses. Top score at the end of the regular season gets a pick in the sandwich round of the next dispersal draft.

Hey guys, worried that your team is going to suck and die? Concerned that you will go from expansion to relegation without knowing the sweet sensation of winning a major championship? If so, sign up for...

The 3rd Tag Team Championship Tournament: Parejas Increibles

Once again, we're going to have a Tag-Team Contest during what would otherwise be the all-star break.

The way this will work is that two teams, and it can be any two teams, whether they be from the Super-League, the Sub-Par League, or some sort of unholy union between a team from the Super-League and a team from the Sub-Par League, will team up to form a super-team, with each team providing two of the following four components:

-Infield (1B, 2B, 3B, SS, DH, two backup IFs)
-Outfield and Catcher (C, LF, CF, RF, a backup C, and two backup OFs)
-Starting Rotation (SP1, SP2, SP3, SP4, SP5)
-Bullpen (CL, SU, SR, SR, MR, LR)

The winners get the greatest gift I am capable of giving: Immortality! That's right, the teams who win this tournament will be immune from relegation or demotion for a full season! And if you are in the Sub-Par league and are part of the winning tag team, you'll automatically be promoted to the Super-League proper for Super-League XIV.

The defending champions of this contest are the two-time Tag Team Champions of the Woooooooooooooorld, the team called Doomsday (Rockford Losers/Florida Oranges). As yet, no tag team has been able to defeat this team in tag team competition.

So, find yourself a partner, combine material from each of your teams, and create a child team that you both will cherish and nurture right up until it is beaten to death by Doomsday. But hey, that's just the circle of life.

Participating Teams!
Doomsday (Rockford Losers/Florida Oranges) (c)
Monateam Sentai Gofailer (Canton Calamities/Louisville Muggers)
New Worst Symphony (New World Symphony/The Worst)
gently caress You We Are Beet and McFreeze (Khartoum Doom/Somali Pirates)

Honestly, I don't know what I want to put here, so I'm going with this.
Oh darn, Nolan Ryan injured for a couple of weeks. I'll decide who'll replace him in the rotation once the week 1 update is posted.

As for the Tag-Team championship...I'm planning on being a downer and sitting this out. Especially since none of the remaining unpaired teams are any good, save for a couple of the Marauder Syndicate, and I'm not sure I would pair with any of them. Besides, I'd prefer to win a promotion to the Super-League the hard way: being (one of) the best team(s) in the Sub-Par League. If I needed immunity from relegation/demotion to survive, it probably wasn't a good team to begin with.

Son of a bitch. That Cepeda injury was one of the last things I needed beyond maybe Sheffield going out for the season.



Reggie Jackson down to the minors, Ernie Banks comes up.
Billy Williams replaces Orlando Cepeda at 1B.
Ernie Banks replaces Billy Williams at DH.
For the length of the injury, Adrian Beltre replaces Ron Santo.

Adjusted batting order:

With DH:

1. 1999 Gary Sheffield (RF)
2. 1987 Barry Bonds (LF)
3. 1965 Ernie Banks (DH)
4. 1965 Billy Williams (1B)
5. 1997 Kenny Lofton (CF)
6. 1965 Ron Santo / 1999 Adrian Beltre (3B)
7. 2012 Buster Posey (C)
8. 1969 Joe Morgan (2B)
9. 2001 Alex Rodriguez (SS)

Without DH:

Same thing, except instead of DH at #3, it's the pitcher at #9.
