Roster Updates:
I'd like to play Ramirez and Sanguillen vs lefties, Hebner and Abe vs righties. Leave these two in their spots in the order (7-8 or 8-9 depending on DH)
Also I'd like Darvish as my #4, Cole as #5.
Lastly, I want Soria to take a break and go to short relief, move watson into the closer's role and let mark the shark be the setup man.

Thank You!

Super-League XVII, Week 19: Bad Words for Bad Dudes

They said it couldn't be done! And then they clarified, saying that, at the least, it shouldn't be done...

ACT III

SCENE I, Outside Smasher Dynamo's Fortress

Enter OLDSKOOL and ICEMOLE

OLDSKOOL
It's a shame this is still going on here.
Everyone knows that sequels kind of suck.

ICEMOLE
How many parts make up ev-er-y-one?
It seems there are four, and not merely three

OLDSKOOL
There are three if you're from America
So shut the gently caress up, okay? Uh. Fuckface.

ICEMOLE
The weighty matters of this day deserve
Less coarseness of word and of mind, I think.
The balance of all hangs on just one man.
Though the who that is is yet to be seen
The doom that walks and stalks and talks soon comes
And we bear witness to its birth or death
A fire may burn or renew, a choice
A chance? Do we deserve once more to play?
Judgment falls on this league and all within

OLDSKOOL
Listen, you dumb nerd, stop talking like that
It's weird and distracting to follow you
I mean, come on, what the gently caress, dude? Come on!
Who talks like that, ten syllables, then stops
There's a reason Shakespeare got his rear end kick'd
As a boy. Or would have, if I were there.
I wish I had a time machine to use
So that I could travel back, beat his rear end
And then beat up the queen. Yeah, gently caress the queen.
But as for now, I'm leaving fast, okay?
Because there's tosn of poo poo to do today!

Exeunt OLDSKOOL

ICEMOLE
He plays the brave man, and does play it well
Inside, though, all his heart must be breaking
Shattered to bits by our present crisis

Truly a lion-heart if e'er there were.

Enter FOREVERBWFC and SMASHER DYNAMO

ICEMOLE
Good morrow, my lords, how fare thee this day?

SMASHER DYNAMO
Wait, wait, wait. You're saying that the prophet said that I'd still be running the Super-League in ten seasons?

FOREVERBWFC
That was the message of the vision, I believe. I can think of no other man who would craft a sonnet for each game of the week just to prove a point.

SMASHER DYNAMO
But if I let Bruzer win, and destroy the league, then I don't have to do it?

FOREVERBWFC
Therein lies the rub. It was near-certain that the league was still the product of your craftsmanship. But was your labor free, or coerced by the Bruzer? Did you run this league because you wished it, or because it was commanded?

SMASHER DYNAMO
That is not helpful.

ICEMOLE
Why does thou speak here without thy meter
When blank verse makes black truths su much sweeter?

SMASHER DYNAMO
Hey! Listen, okay, do you know how hard it would to do exposition in meter?

FOREVERBWFC
It would be astoundingly difficult.

SMASHER DYNAMO
Yeah, do you think Christopher Marlowe was just walking around England talking to everyone in iambic pentameter? No, he saved that for his plays, which got him paid. And maybe to pick up dudes, I don't know. Point is, I'm not getting paid. Also, hopefully, not stabbed in the eye.

FOREVERBWFC
What?

SMASHER DYNAMO
Christopher Marlowe got stabbed in the eye. I don't want to get stabbed in the eye. Although, how many weeks off could I take if I got stabbed in the eye?

FOREVERBWFC
Assuming that you were not slain by the act?

SMASHER DYNAMO
I have the feeling that even after I'm dead, I'll still have to do the Super-League.

ICEMOLE
Again, I protest! Speak with proper form!
What would the Ombudsman say if he heard?
Such styleless words, bereft of right sound?

SMASHER DYNAMO
I don't know who this Ombudsman is-

FOREVERBWFC
He figured in the visions I had of what was to come.

SMASHER DYNAMO
He sounds like the kind of guy I want to rip the tonsils out of.

SCENE II. A graveyard.

Enter BRUZER

BRUZER
What is this place?

Enter MARAURDER in the guise of the spirit of ARCHIE GOODWIN

ARCHIE GOODWIN
Whoa, there, slick, seems like a place like this oughta be real familiar? Graveyards are kind of a second home for you in the Super-League.

BRUZER
Who are you?

ARCHIE GOODWIN
Just a spirit, looking for another chance.

BRUZER
I don't care! Go away! Nothing is going to get in my way!

ARCHIE GOODWIN
Come on, ace, you think it's going to be that easy?

BRUZER
I am the smartest, best, owner, and the only reason no one realizes it is because Smasher keeps cheating me! But now I'm the one in control. He can't use his Macho Men against me, and I can beat any other team.

ARCHIE GOODWIN
Any team?

BRUZER
I am the best. Nobody beats me.

ARCHIE GOODWIN
(aside)
A man like this, his dull mind distorted
Here I come, to make his dreams aborted
(to Bruzer)
What, you think you're gonna win because of that? That's the craziest thing I ever heard.

BRUZER
Wait?

ARCHIE GOODWIN
Smarts don't matter. It's what you do with 'em.

BRUZER
I'll show you!

ARCHIE GOODWIN
Here's hoping. But look around, this boneyard's full of guys who thought they were smart. Why, look, it's the grave of the St. Paul Bearers, you remember them, don't you?

BRUZER
Yes, but that was different.

ARCHIE GOODWIN
Oh, yes, yes, yes, it wasn't one smart guy, it was six. ForeverBWFC, Koop, the lovely kw0134, Viscount Slim, CVE and the Brooklyn Bruiser himself. All working together, all helping to dig their own team's grave.
(aside)
Of course, the Viscount was I, and I he
A game I play, and play well, mostly fun
The Bearers were a trifle, a small jest
Burned through by indecision and my sloth
Koop's end, some European confusion
And the Bruzer's own frailties writ large
No matter, the Syndicate survives still
And shall for all times, or the promis'd end
Sweeps away this tedious world and leaves
Something with a bit more flavor and zest
The world's a bit bland for my own liking
I'm not one who frowns at seasoning soup
(to Bruzer)
Guess you're not so sharp, after all.

BRUZER
You'll see! You think your team is so tough? You want to take me on?

ARCHIE GOODWIN
Oh, that I could, but me team sleeps with the fishes, it would take special dispensation from Smasher himself to bring them back for this challenge.

BRUZER
Yeah? Well, maybe I'll ask him to do just that?

ARCHIE GOODWIN
Wouldn't that teach me something.

BRUZER
Wait? How do I know this isn't a trick?

ARCHIE GOODWIN
If you won't take my word for it, why not talk to Old Rev T, he can see what isn't just yet. He'll show you the truth.

BRUZER
Well, maybe I will!

Exeunt BRUZER

ARCHIE GOODWIN
A contrivance to send him to the seer
But certain things must be done, good or ill
The future must have its say in the past
Pray I do that it will go down quite fast

SCENE III. Smasher Dynamo's Courtyard

Enter MONICRO, ICEMOLE

MONICRO
But I don't understand why everyone, or maybe just like half the people, are talking so weird.

ICEMOLE
Little lad, whether you are big or small
Blank verse is the language you must speak
To do otherwise here is most uncouth.
Great Smasher's court has manners you must learn
Your young age is no excuse, nor license
Speak rightly, or be ye silent, nothing else.

MONICRO
But counting to ten is haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard!

Enter CTHULHUDREAMS

CTHULHUDREAMS
Cthulhu needs C! Cthulhu needs C!

ICEMOLE
Look you, boy, at yon truest nobleman
No strain in his words to adopt the verse
Perfection to start, no need to learn more
An exemplar par excellence for all

CTHULHUDREAMS
Cthulhu needs C! Cthulhu needs C!

ICEMOLE
A most wondrous manner. This is the man.
Promised so long, and now delivered hence.
Providence shines from high on us this day.

Oh, yes, the song of angels, from his lips.

MONICRO
But he's just repeating himself a lot! It's really kind of lame.

ICEMOLE
Hush, child! Listen not to the words! Rhythm!
That is the true measure of speech! Oh, god!
The man speaks in the rhythm of heaven!
What else could matter much in relation?

ACT IV

SCENE I. Revenant Threshold's Hut.

Enter REVENANT THRESHOLD

REVENANT THRESHOLD
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Here's a toast to the king
And a lasting peace
To factions' end
And wealth increase
Come, let us drink while we have breath
For there's no drinking after death
And he that will himself deny
Down among the dead men
Down among the dead men
Down, down, down, down
Down among the dead men
Let him lie.

Enter BRUZER

BRUZER
Show me the future or else.

REVENANT THRESHOLD
Hardly a warm welcome so I think not.
My powers are not to be demanded
A gift, a tool to be used for good
Not the weapon of a madman like you.

BRUZER
Is that what you think?

REVENANT THRESHOLD
In truth, I can think little else of it.

BRUZER
I want to hear a story, Revenant Threshold, and if you won't give me one, I'll find one of my own.

REVENANT THRESHOLD
A harmless threat, if even that. No, no.
I will not yield to such hollow words.

BRUZER
Oh? Because I have to say, you might not like my stories. They're not for everyone. You may have heard.

REVENANT THRESHOLD
I am not afraid. We Gooners are brave.
How else could we survive Man United?
And their reign o'er all football that ne'er broke?
Until, some years past, it did, and brought spring.
A glorious sun melt'd the red devil.
Til its twin, a sky blue cloud, smother'd all.
But by the love of Wenger, exalted.
I shall survive til Arsenal rises.
That much I swear, and do not swear lightly.

BRUZER
I give you one last warning. Once I begin, nothing will ever be the same.

REVENANT THRESHOLD
I fear thee not. I will not surrender.

BRUZER
I have here a story from the internet most deep, perhaps a taste of it might change your mind.

REVENANT THRESHOLD
No. My bluff is call'd, I'll not resist more.
The curtains of time I will part for thee.

BRUZER
Good.

REVENANT THRESHOLD
The dead lurch forth, not easily beaten
The Jobbers show fear, the assault goes on
Losers can lose, but not to a cretin
They fight and they win, their lifeblood now gone

Armitage shrieks, his features do belie
He wants, no, expects the win for his team
But for now it appears that they shall die
And so he does sit, weep, panic, and scream

Is all hope so lost? Are dreams now all dead?
Can he take what is his? Or job the feat?
Rememb'ring his past, and what has been said
Is this team still chaff, or at long last wheat?

The dead still come forward, scarce with motive
The Jobbers need help, and off'rings votive.



BRUZER
What was that? What am I supposed to get from that? Give me a vision I can use, or else!

REVENANT THRESHOLD
Like Sybil I try and see what I can
But the choice isn't mine, I only a man.

Canada sits on the steps of glory
But comes the Machine, cold light eyes stare down
The pitch come fast, but not too fast to see
The Machine fires forth, power renown

The ball is struck hard, it flies through the air
So long out does it carry the motion
Mack watches sadly, his victory fair
Gone, forgotten, rubb'd out, dream's erosion

Defeat rides close behind on sorrow's horse
The hoofbeats drum louder, a constant din
The rider will arrive shortly, of course
The pride of Canada lies all broken

Have hope, it is not yet the final act!
More's to be seen, we have not held the fact.



BRUZER
You're talking in riddles. And not even good riddles!

REVENANT THRESHOLD
As I said, what is revealed, is here.
Naught else can I show you but what I behold.

BRUZER
Bah!

REVENANT THRESHOLD

Pander sits on his throne, no more rivals
The Bombers had sought his crown, but failed
Great effort had worn out all their vitals
Moose, just the one, heartbroken and wailed:

"Is this my grim fate, to sit in second?
A salutorian man frustrat'd?
I dreamed of a team, my mind's eye fecund
That would need many banners creat'd

"But I see that now, nothing I do works
Players break, hitters slump, darkness consumes
The rest of this league are totally jerks
And because of these crimes, my anger blooms"

That being said, Moose's fate is not hard
As these things go, he'll get a wildcard



BRUZER
I am losing patience. None of these prophecies tell me anything about my challenge and whether it will work.

REVANANT THRESHOLD

The Ombudsman fumes, tonsil-less anger
These verses and sonnets lack quality
Smasher ought not be proud, just a server
To exceed his station, naught but folly

The win cheers him little, it is not 'nough
The angled dreams of the Space Fish die slow
And to dress up all these numbers with fluff
FairGame will have his words with Dynamo

He has fail'd the thread, he is a debtor
A wretch with amibtion, but not talent
The Ombudsman notes in warning letter
Meter less meaning is hardly gallant

Imagine how much worse of this long scold
Would be but for his own Gil McDougald



BRUZER
That's not even how you pronounce "McDougald!" Now, give me a good prophecy or else!

REVENANT THRESHOLD
Four stories I tell, no more, and no less
Though I'd rather do three, I will confess.

BRUZER
Oh? Is that so? Then I guess we have time for one of my stories, after. Now, I found this one-

The remainder of this scene was not found in the folio edition of the play. Historical records indicate that the material was so upsetting that it was burned so that no one could ever know what had been written. Some have claimed the expunged half-scene as one of the most harrowing scenes in all of fiction. Others have claimed that Smasher, for once in his sorry life, knew when to give up the joke. In either event, no copy remains.


SCENE II. Smasher Dynamo's Fortress

Enter SMASHER DYNAMO and MARAUDER in the guise of ARCHIE GOODWIN

SMASHER DYNAMO
Bruzer said he'd accept a challenge from your team, and I have reconsidered my position.

ARCHIE GOODWIN
Good t'hear.

SMASHER DYNAMO
You have to use Bruzer logic, I guess. If he thinks that he can beat you, logic says that he absolutely can't.

ARCHIE GOODWIN
Makes sense.

SMASHER DYNAMO
And if you do win, I will restore your team to life and crown you a champion. Minor champion, but still.

ARCHIE GOODWIN
Neat.

SMASHER DYNAMO
That, uh, is about it.

ARCHIE GOODWIN
Well, don't want to blow our wad now, with the big battle coming up.

SMASHER DYNAMO
Good point.



ACT V

SCENE I. Smasher Dynamo's Fortress

Enter SMASHER DYNAMO

SMASHER DYNAMO
This was a huge mistake. What was I thinking? The battle looms, I have put forth the Gumshoes against Bruzer's infernal team. Should they succeed, all is won. Should they fail, damnnation looms. What right did I have to condemn my league so, or even create the conditions precedent for such damnation. What have I done, what will I do? The battle comes now, war descends on us all and-

Enter a Delorean in a flash of light, a trail of fire behind it. The Delorean skids to a stop, and HULKAMATT exits from one of the gull-wing doors.

SMASHER DYNAMO
What?!

HULKAMATT
Smasher, I have come from the future to beg for your help?

SMASHER DYNAMO
I kind of have my own thing going on, the fate of the Super-League hangs in the balance.

HULKAMATT
Listen, Smasher, it's reeeeeeeeeeeeealy important! My A-Rod isn't very good, and I want him to be better.

SMASHER DYNAMO
Can this wait?

HULKAMATT
I don't think so. Now, Smasher, I know that you, or at least future you, and I don't see eye-to-eye on Roman Reigns, I think he's a really good wrestler-

SMASHER DYNAMO
It's 2012! I've never heard of this Roman Reigns.

HULKAMATT
Oh, right, I should explain. So, I know that you think that Reigns is a bad promo.

SMASHER DYNAMO
I don't think of him at all, HulkaMatt, I don't even really know who you are, it's 2012!

HULKAMATT
Listen, Smasher, just because you think that Roman Reigns has bad promos, what with the magic beans and all.

SMASHER DYNAMO
I don't know what you're talking about! This hasn't happened yet to me!

HULKAMATT
Oh, right. causality and all. Well, I have some Roman Reigns highlights on my iPhone you can look at. I think you'll be surprised.

SMASHER DYNAMO
Why does he keep doing the same three moves over and over? Are all of these clips from the same match?

HULKAMATT
Well, you know, having a million moves isn't as good as doing three moves really well. Oh, wait, here are some clips from his promos.

SMASHER DYNAMO
Why is he arguing with the crowd about why his promo is boring? That's not going to work!

HULKAMATT
The point is, he's fine, and he's going to be the next big guy in WWE.

SMASHER DYNAMO
I hate the future. HATE IT!

HULKAMATT
Um, okay, that didn't go great. But how about that A-Rod challenge?

SMASHER DYNAMO
You come to the future, tell me that I'm going to have to watch 10 years Samoan Kevin Nash, and then you want me to do something for you? COME ON!

HULKAMATT
But Smasher...

SMASHER DYNAMO
Okay, well, how bad is it?

HULKAMATT
It's the 4th-worst A-Rod ever!

SMASHER DYNAMO
So it's not the worst.

HULKAMATT
4th-worst!

SMASHER DYNAMO
That's not compelling. Still, is this a matter where if I don't do something, you're team is going to get relegated?

HULKAMATT
Well....

SMASHER DYNAMO
Well?

HULKAMATT
I'm a tag team champion, so I can't get demoted.

SMASHER DYNAMO
Tag Team Champion? Demoted?

HULKAMATT
The future's pretty crazy, Smasher! There are tag team tournaments, and a Sub-Par League, and also Roman Reigns won a Royal Rumble! And it was, wait, you don't know the future, so let me say that it wasn't as bad a scene as a lot of people are going to say that it was when it happens in two and-a-half years. You know who else will be doing great in 2015, by the way? John Cena. A career year, really.

SMASHER DYNAMO
Yeah, the way things are going, I half-want Bruzer to put me out of my misery.

HULKAMATT
Oh, right, the challenge? This is that time that the Gumshoes hit, like, two miracle home runs, and then beat Bruzer's team because Bruzer kept Brad Lidge in the game, right?

SMASHER DYNAMO
Did you just spoil the ending?

HULKAMATT
Oh. Whoops!

SMASHER DYNAMO
Challenge denied! Challenge denied!


Team Statistics










Analysis

Has trading Babe Ruth ever worked?











Analysis

Well, at least you've guaranteed a winning season. Also, beating the Rakers in three out of four games on the road is a good sign given that they're almost certainly going to the playoffs.











Analysis

I would say you have a couple of easy moves to make involving using Mickey Cochrane and Jim Scott.











Analysis

Well, any other bright ideas?











Analysis

Forward, knights!











Analysis

2-4 and holding onto their titles. Woo.











Analysis

Less than five games back of the wildcard, also, in danger of demotion!











Analysis

I must see this team dead. It is the only way.











Analysis

DINGERS!











Analysis

The Crows are back in third place! If they can hold onto that, it will be a milestone for the team!











Analysis

The Space Fish are in fourth place in the wild card standings, which is good! They're also 8.5 games back with seven weeks to play, which is less promising.











Analysis

This is not the right direction!











Analysis

I think Meyeux's glove makes her worth keeping in the lineup, but it may be the sort of situation where it might get you a couple of extra runs over the course of the season by batting her eighth instead of ninth.











Analysis

Not a bad time for a swoon, all things considered.











Analysis

--











Analysis

This team has the second best pitching in the league. It's weird, but true.











Analysis

You've got enough of a lead to rest a few players for a week.











Analysis

Are you really going to let yourself get aced out of a wildcard by a Monicro? ARE YOU?!











Analysis

The dead will reign.











Analysis

Huh. I guess Vance isn't working out. Whoops!











Analysis

Sheikhs good.











Analysis

Wait, a Monicro team is actually good? Does that mean he's going to Muggerize it?











Analysis

This team still has nine games left against the Southpaws and ten against the Doom. That could be bad.











Analysis

Chelsea Baker is still leading this team in wins after 19 weeks. And this team is still in contention for a wildcard. It's odd.

Changes:

Gary Sheffield goes back into RF against right handed pitchers.

Carlos Beltran in CF against both LHP and RHP (I fixed this in my next post! I don't even think it's possible in Mogul anyway)

send down Mike Trout and call up Bob Elliott to ride the bench for the week.

Hey, somebody trade me a good first base man! I've got guys like '94 John Olerud, '61 Stan Musial, '41 Jimmie Foxx, and '06 John McGraw, along with the 2nd round pick I stole from Mooseontheloose, to trade.

Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

And at the end of fear, oblivion.

Der Kommander

Y'know, it's funny. One of my first posts in this thread was some dumb thing about STOP WRITING ABOUT WEIRD RPGMAKER THINGS; PEOPLE ARE HERE FOR BASEBALL. Yet I absolutely love all the non-baseball writing. It's hilarious and I wish I had that kind of creativity.

As far as baseball goes, though, I think the Space Fish can still make a push for the wildcard. Or at the very least, losing a guy who's not playing isn't going to make any difference in my ability to stay ahead of the Symphony. And if I do get demoted, that just means that TheMcD likely gets a better draft pick since I traded him my 4th rounder in exchange for doing the pick 'em.

Thus!


Trade
1901 Ed Delahanty

in exchange for the Mounties'

1992 Rafael Palmeiro
2001 John Olerud

Upon the trade being completed, please change my lineup:
RF: The Heilmann who's hitting well
LF: Palmeiro
1b: Olerud
to AAA: Medwick

e: between Babe Herman, John Olerud, Rafael Palmeiro, Dick Allen, and Don Mattingly surely there's SOMEONE on this roster that can play 1B and hit!

Well, Chippy is already my favourite character!


I thought that update was my resting week, oh well. I know Mattingly in LF is odd, but it's a lower effort solution than bringing Crawford or Winfield up for just one week.

Lineup of sore removal, vs both

3B Boggs
CF Cobb
C Cochrane
DH Foxx
RF Kaline
1B Cabrera
2B Sandberg
LF Mattingly

Not sure, but I'd also argue this is probably the best haul anyone gotten for a ruth yet.

I think the goog's trade was better, it just didn't work out for him.

Yours was still real drat good.

I confirm so long as when Smasher says "I'm waiting for DannoMack to confirm" he doesn't mean "I'm waiting for DannoMack to confirm so I know whether to punish him for making another in-season trade."

:siren: Attention Trade Pals :siren:
1929 Al Simmons (27yrs old)
1963 Harmon Killebrew (27yrs old)
1901 Ed Delahanty (33yrs old)

I'd like to trade one of those jerks for a good left handed bat who can play a position other than 1B OR I'd like to trade a couple or all three of those jerks for a great left handed outfielder, preferably one who is good at RF.

Okay gently caress the Mets and Royals,
