The Mexico City Mexicutioners select '71 Tug McGraw

Insert Tug McGraw in to short relief, bump Bill 'Spaceman' Lee down to middle relief, send Steve Reed to the minors to be taught a lesson by El Diablo

Tickle Bomb is on the clock

CFBalla: Sep 16, 2009; Yeah, I just made that shot.

The Cardinals may lose today, and that's fine, because I have a lot of friends that are Cubs fans and it'd be cool to see them be happy about baseball again. At least my team still crushes Monicro's band of misfits. God bless.

Armitage: Aug 16, 2005; "Mathman's not here." "Oh? Where is he?" "He's in the Mathroom."

Since Dihigo has not been very good and apparently hasn't handled the bar very well at all, that's an acceptable loss I guess. It's only 10 games, maybe he'll take the time off to remember how to be Martin Dihigo!

DL Dihigo and call up Jim Bunning

Burt Hooton takes Dihigo's spot in the rotation and Bunning goes into long relief.

Armitage fucked around with this message at 18:54 on Oct 14, 2015

He will take over the fifth starter position and as a result I will demote Larry Jackson to AAA. CVE is on the clock.

Is Clements not personal catcher for anyone now? Make him personal for Clemens I guess because Gibson is sore.

Readers are important too! You wouldn't think there would be readers, since you can't even say that all the owners actually read the updates, so I guess those that do exist become more important due to their scarcity.

Maybe you should read the brief then, because it's clearly stated. I know it wasn't as simple as a "Now you kids be good, eh?" like you're used to, but here in America the appropriate language is used to assure clarity for all parties.

kw0134: Apr 19, 2003; I buy feet pics🍆

Well it's a matter in equity if it's before the chancery division, which hitherto I was unaware SL Circuit Court had a chancery division. Is there a hornbook or something for SL civil practice?

I just want to say that in terms of the updates, I'm feeling slightly burnt out, probably because it's the end of the season, so if the games of the week are a bit off-spec, just bear with me.

You do good work with the updates, Smasher, and I look forward to the day when I succeed in spite of myself enough to get into the Super-League so that I can see my team and my play eviscerated in print by you.

For what it's worth the non-standard writeups you do are my favorite, don't feel obligated to stick to the format!

EclecticTastes: Sep 17, 2012; "Most plans are critically flawed by their own logic. A failure at any step will ruin everything after it. That's just basic cause and effect. It's easy for a good plan to fall apart. Therefore, a plan that has no attachment to logic cannot be stopped."

Yeah, I know I've missed a season. Or two. But I kind of preferred the GotWs where you'd talk about obscure comic book stuff or delve into strange subplots about the owners, because I understood them better. People who get mad about the updates not always being about baseball are not cool funhavers, and should try being more like the rest of us, who are.

All I know is you can't quit now, when I am on the cusp of finally making it back* to the Super League (who am I kidding, collapse is imminent).

*because the first time I played there was no subpar league to be relegated to out of the EC
