 Pool Play, Day One!  : Well, Yoshida, once again, it is time for the Tag Team Championship Tournament. One of these fourteen teams will take home a major championship and, as tag team champions, will gain immunity from demotion or relegation for as long as they hold the belts. : I hope it's not Doomsday, Humungus is a jerk.: In what sense?: He ripped out Beet's eye, and cut off Warm Sarsaparilla's arm, and I remember this one time he made threatening gestures towards Johnny Hopp!: Heh. He sure did. But, as the two-time defending champions, you have to figure that Doomsday won't give up their title easily.: Maybe, but a lot of people think that this is gently caress You, We Are Beet and McFreeze's year to finally take Doomsday down.: We'll see about that. But first, let's take a closer look at the standings after the first-half of Pool Play.Anarcho-Capitalism, LLC   : The Anarcho-Capitalists are having a tough time, they're 18-25, Fourth Place in Pool B.: And you have to put a lot of blame for that on the two Cy Youngs contributed by the Plunder Corp., who are a combined 1-10 so far.: I don't know about that, Yoshida, I put the blame squarely on the flawed ideology of the team. I know that, in today's era of bureaucracy, many are drawn to anarcho-capitalism as the way forward, but government regulations do serve a purpose, as they help to ensure that the negative externalities of self-interest are kept in check. In today's industrial world, we can no longer persist in the belief that a man is an island that, left alone, he will cause no harm to others through his own acts. Nor can we pretend as though the free market is capable of handling these problems, either. No, if the last thirty years of neoliberalism has taught us anything, it's that the only thing that trickles down on the poor when regulations and taxes are cut is the baneful waste products of the wealthy's rapacious appetite for ever-greater and more appalling acts of luxury. : Uh...I'm pretty sure the real problem is that Cy Young's 60-mph fastball isn't getting it done.Colliding Crows   : Colliding Crows have played a solid first-half, they're at 21-19, Third Place in Pool B. And the Crows' rotation is finally giving the performance that HulkaMatt had wanted to see all season.: If they want to make the semi-finals, though, they'll have to get through Doomsday, and that won't be easy.: Wait, we should have had Bryan Alvarez and Dave Meltzer do commentary for this update! It would have been way funnier!: I don't know who those people are. Doomsday   : Doomsday, once again relatively dominant, they are 25-15, First Place in Pool B. : Boo!: Hey, if Doomsday is going to lose the Tag Titles, they ought to at least do it in a one-on-one playoffs series.: Boo!El Genericos   : UltimoDragonQuest's last gift to the Super-League was teaming up with the Rochester Generics, giving kw0134's a real chance to compete here, and they're making the most of it, going 25-15, First Place in Pool C. : Any team that has Johnny Hopp on their roster deserves to win. Although the Generics didn't provide the outfield for this team, I guess, and Ted Williams is really making the most of his chance to get a bit of playing time.: Well, no team has more of an interest in stopping Doomsday than this team. If Doomsday does three-peat, then the Generics will either have to finish first in the Vae Victis Division, or else face demotion, and given how well the Coburns are playing, that's a pretty slim hope.gently caress You, We Are Beet and McFreeze   : Mixed results for gently caress You, they're 22-17, Second Place in Pool A.: The good news is that their offense can't possibly continue to be this bad for the rest of pool play, and since they're already in the wildcard lead with their hitters not producing at all, they have a great chance to make the semi-finals. Also, you have to fix the MACHINE.: Mechanical baseball players are tricky, okay? Maybe if I build it off of Tom Tresh.: Isn't Tom Tresh synonymous with the decline of the Yankees in the '60s?: Well, I'd say that if you're going to find a player that embodies that decline, I'd go with Joe Pepitone. At any rate, I'm working on it.Knights of Corruption   : Knights of Corruption, doing okay at 19-23, 4th Place in Pool C. Anything to add, Yoshida?: Nope!: Okay, let's just move on.Magic Mushrooms   : Magic Mushrooms, more lucky than anything else at 24-20, 2nd Place in Pool B.: Only one game behind Doomsday! They could knock Doomsday out of the tournament!: What? Absolutely not! No, that won't happen, it can't happen, I refuse to accept that it's even a possibility!: I don't know, they could surprise-: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! NO! NO! Monateam   : Well, Monateam is doing exactly as you'd expect: 16-23, Fourth Place, Pool A.: Poor Monateam.New Worst Symphony   : This team is terrible, and its creators should feel bad. Analysis over!North/South Interchange   : Not a great showing for the Interchange, as they're 13-25, Fifth Place in Pool C.: Would you say that there's a traffic jam at the interchange? : I wouldn't. : How about that there's been an accident down at the interchange, and it's leading to delays.: No, I wouldn't say that either.: How about that there's been a five-pitcher pileup down at the interchange! Traffic's been stopped as EMTs are on the scene, trying desperately to save as many people as they can. Pools of blood and oil stain the road and onlookers gasp in horror at the nightmarish sight! Max Scherzer, or what's left of him, get pulled from the wreckage, mangled limbs dangling from a charred torso, a single tear drips from the one eye he has left as agony courses through his body. With his last moment of consciousness, he sees Verlander in the distance, the man's chest cut open by gleaming shards of metal, and then Scherzer drifts off into the abyss, grateful that he doesn't have to endure this horror for one second longer!: I....are you okay?: It's been a rough start for the Interchange.Rock 'n Bock Connection   : Rock n Bock, scuffling a bit, and they are 18-21, Third Place in Pool C.: And I'm second on the team in ERA!: Yeah, their pitching has been a problem.: Well, yeah, but I'm doing great!: Right. Oh, and RNG God is now a catcher! And he's doing okay.Tank and Rank   : Tank and Rank, a very disappointing start, as they're 19-20, Second Place in Pool C.: Well, Ernie Banks' knee exploded, so that was a setback. : Gehringer has been getting the starts at SS, and he's been okay, but combined with Mel Ott at 3B, it's not doing their pitching any favors.Twin Cities Triad   : Twin Cities Triad are having a difficult go of it. They're 18-20, 3rd Place in Pool A. : I forgot this team even existed.: Don't worry, that's normal. I mean, when's the last time a Twin Cities-based sports team did anything important?: Does WNBA count?: No. WinAmps   : The WinAmps are surging, with a tournament-best 26-14, First Place in Pool A.: And the question becomes whether or not they can keep this up. They have a three game lead over gently caress You with 40 games to go, and a lot of their offensive performances seem unsustainable. : And of those 40 games, a full eight of them will be against gently caress You. It's going to be tricky, but what a story if this team made the semi-finals. Standings   : And here are your standings after 40 games. All three pools and the wildcard are still in play, as no team has raced out to much of a lead in the first half of the tournament.: The El Genericos have a big lead.: Eh, I guess, but it's hard to get worked up over that. Until tomorrow!

Mcd, your bullpen rules! We are going to go to the playoffs! gently caress doomsday! Uh...other than maybe swapping Hanley for longoria, not sure what to do. I kinda want to ride posey until he dies since lavalliere is terrible. Maybe we rescind the Messersmith personal catcher and give it to plank instead, thus affording posey an immediate day off? And maybe turning defensive replacements to 5?

kw0134! I'm hoping that UDQ's last SL action can save your team from a Doomsday doom in the Vae Victis division. And I hope the team keeps up what they've done so far, though Ted Williams line may or may not be sustainable. Still, it's a good start, and I can't think of anything to change.cbx posted:Why is that? Because I'm in your division? I mean, yeah; if the Winamps win, then either the Dinos, Imperialists, or Tornados will drop from the Memento Mori at the end of the season, if I'm understanding the rules to the tournament correctly.

Aw yeah, look at that bullpen go! And hey, is that Bonds actually hitting worth a poo poo? Sure, he's beat to poo poo, but at least he's hitting! But yeah, Posey's kind of an issue - I hadn't thought beyond "he won't die, that would be way too problematic", so my options are of course poo poo. Not sure what to do there myself. As for Bonds, Williams could probably go in for some time. Not sure, though - I wouldn't want to make any calls myself.

Alright, let's do this: magic mushrooms moves 1.) replace longoria with Hanley 2.) replace olerud with Musial 3.) bonds to cf, replacing lofton 4.) billy Williams takes bonds' spot in lf. 5.) defensive replacements and pinch runners to 3. 6.) make lavalliere planks catcher and turn him off for messersmith 7.) new lineup Rickey, dh Alomar, 2b Musial, 1b Sheffield, rf Williams, lf Bonds, cf Ripken, ss Posey, c Hanley, 3b end moves Mcd, this work for you?

So, uh, the Colliding Crows should probably do something about that bullpen situation. Let's swap the Nens. Also, is that Ryan Weber a real player? Because that roll for Tim Burke is horrifying. Assuming Weber is not usable, swap Burke and Reardon so he at least gets used less. Other ideas Hulkamatt?
