FairGame posted:I do love Olerud, and Palmeiro can pretend to play LF. Let me think on this. The offer is fair, but I'm not real sure how much it helps me this season. So I'm inclined to wait until after the season to figure out a plan. Okie dokie let me know. I'm also still interested in old Collins as a lefty off the bench! Obviously I'm more motivated to do the Delahanty deal in-season while I try to catch Beet. Not to say I wouldn't still be interested in the offseason, just more motivated right now.

Expansion Cup XVI April: Kensei Dies At The End Analysis The Peaches Graham experiment is having issues. Analysis Tulo delanda est. Analysis Votto deserves to do well in the Super-League. Joe Tinker, however, does not. Analysis I would suggest platooning Bonds as that's worked well for the Gay Agenda's same-aged one, but you don't really have anyone to pair him with. Bonilla maybe, with Torre going to DH? Analysis Cespedes's stats so far seem sustainable. Analysis New owners, I present to you Marauder. Enjoy your Marauder. Analysis Analysis Your bullpen isn't much of an issue when all your starters just throw a complete game every day. Analysis Analysis Decent start in a winnable division. Also you should really start Abe (his line so far is from 19 PAs). Analysis Your big 3 are performing as advertised so far, the problem is that literally everyone else (except Schmidt for some reason??) has been utter garbage. Analysis I appear to have made an error when I made your team name. Luckily it's not the reason you're under .500 so far. That's your pitching.

How the gently caress did my team get nineteen runs in a single game? Good lord! Also, my team is clearly paying me tribute by deliberately losing most of their games in order to conserve their energy to completely stomp the piss out of the Yankeesfans. Doin' the lord's work, boys!

Give me pitching, or give me death. First, lemme confirm that I did indeed send Jason Kipnis to eternal hell, put Marty McManus in at 2B, and call up Asdrubal Cabrera. New batting order: 1. Michael Brantley (CF) 2. George Sisler (1B) 3. Ken Williams (DH) 4. Mel Ott (RF) 5. Marty McManus (2B) 6. Joe Medwick (LF) 7. Josh Donaldson (3B) 8. Brian Downing (C) [Ernie Lombardi is personal catcher for Urban Shocker and Claude Osteen] 9. Troy Tulowitzki (SS) Save me from the cesspool that is the last 2 positions in the batting order. No idea what's wrong with Joe Medwick, though. Now, for some pitching shuffling: Mark Buehrle to SP5, call up Wilbur Wood to LR, send Van Mungo down to minors. Bullpen stuffs: Terry Forster to SU, Joe Smith to MR, call up Cody Allen to SR, Vinnie Pestano to SR, send Cecil Upshaw to minors. I sure hope Joe Smith's status improves; he's on thin ice.

Changes: code:
: Um... excuse me, I have an announcement to make! - Well, seems like things are still looking pretty good, and while dropping a series to the Diamond Dogs isn't great, winning one over the Scientists is good. Now what's that in the future for this month? Six games against the Mexicutioners in Mexico City. Two away series. And we're six games ahead right now. Oh my g- TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES, PLEASE STAND BY Notes from Assistant Manager TheMcD's Desk: Alright, this is where the whole "try really hard to be optimistic" thing stops. The team is no longer showing the dominance it had before, people are starting to get sore with no rest in sight, and to cap things off, two away series against Mexico City. Goodbye, US title, hello, Gauntlet. loving poo poo rear end gently caress. Do I rest Frisch this week? No, because I'm playing the Vault Boys, which is an important series. Do I rest him next week? No, because I'm playing the Mexicutioners, which is an important series. Do I rest him the week after that? No, because I'm playing the Mexicutioners, which is an important series. Week after that? No, because Vault Boys. Week after that? No, because by that time he'll be loving dead. Wonderful. gently caress. Guess I might as well sit him early, because otherwise I'll have to sit half the batting order in one week. And I already know I'll have to be sitting Joe Jackson next week. Fun. Congratulations, Mexicutioners, on your trip to the Super-League. Apparently, being the Zombie Llamas but without Babe Ruth or Barry Bonds is good enough to win a Sub-Par division and survive, but being the Zombie Llamas isn't. Figure that the gently caress out. See, this is why I hate dingers, they always ruin my fun. When my team had dingers, it was poo poo. When my team lost dingers, it was better, but the dingers were good again all of a sudden, so it still loses. I am not having a good time, I guess. No, I am most definitely having a bad time.

Okay, I was willing to give Peaches a shot to see if it would be sufficiently funny. It was not. Move Peaches Graham to the Bench. He gets to be a Catcher again. The Immortal Bob Stanley comes up to take his place. Johnny Kling goes to the minors. Platoon Kid Gleason at 2nd; he can play against LHP.

I think there are some things we can take away from the Mexicutioners season so far, and the first is that apparently you don't need a Babe Ruth or Barry Bonds if you have a Larry Walker and a Miguel Cabrera. That sounds about right. The second is that all season long I have been watching to see if my Nap will end up with more steals or dingers. So far he's managed to tie up the steals versus dingers race at 4 a piece. The third is that I really wish I could have moved up to get that Robin Yount in the super draft. Depending on how the rest of the season goes I am going to be trying to acquire a Banks or a Ripken in the offseason, but failing that Robin Yount would be good too. I might be able to roster an Ozzie Smith or something. Basically someone to sub for A-Rod for those tough road series in parks that hate dingers with pitchers that love to strike out dudes. If you have another short stop I might be interested in either as an all glove contact hitter I can play during tough road series let me know. STILL ALIVE

RIP the Genoa Janus, go Mexicutioners Also for the record I think the Mexicutioners right now are as good or better than the best roster the Zombie Llamas ever had. Sure they don't have Ruth and Bonds, but their infield is a big upgrade and I think their rotation is at least as good. (e: Also, in a park as dinger-happy as Corazon de Oro or the Dinger Temple, you don't actually need Bonds, because any good power hitter is gonna mash.)

The Mexicutioners are going to get strong with more drafts and then they're going to roll the SuperLeague and dinger the Macho Men to submission tbh.
