CVE posted:Crashing this badly over the course of a month and change is actually amazing. The Hippos died because Mantle died early in the season and pretty much everyone poo poo the bad and my other teams just weren't that good. This time I went from a division contender to a dumpster fire even quicker. On top of that I'm scared of the gauntlet it has never been kind to me. I had a loving atrocious July. I think both of our teams under performed and the Storm have been a little bit lucky so the division hasn't been close. I am not feeling good about the gauntlet either

Clearly, the right way to proceed is to trade me all the speedy players on your team for Ted Williams, Nap Lajoie and noted Gauntlet Good Luck Charm Cool Papa Bell, survive the Gauntlet forever because you have Cool Papa Bell, and trade Ted Williams for good things to redesign your team with.

I just wanted to be sure that when September call ups end Cy Young, finding himself in the minors at age 36, wouldn't decide to retire in the first couple of days of October or something.

Oh man. This stupid division race has been going on since the whole thing started. I think Mentholmoose pointed out we've been within a couple games of each other for like 80% of the season. And it sucks because now I can't give Eddie Collins sensible rest, because winning the division and skipping the wild card game is about as important as having a rested Eddie Collins...ugh.  Make Edd Roush DH Make Emmet Heidrick CF They keep their current spots in the lineup (and how does one get raked to death? That sounds insanely hard to accomplish)

Expansion Cup: September (Last Week)      Analysis: Almost done tanking!      Analysis: Joe Torre, was good.      Analysis: Better teams have done worse in the EC, to be fair.      Analysis: Came up short in September, no harm no foul.      Analysis: Hey at least the bullpen is good!      Analysis: That was anticlimactic.      Analysis: May you now be McFreeze's problem.      Analysis: This team is fun and I hope to see more of it.      Analysis:       Analysis: Look! At least now you don't have to suffer the ignominy of dying to a rain-soked dog! EC Owners! Check into the thread at some point! Or else we'll assume you were demoralized enough to give up! Dispersal Draft Pick Order! Until you trade it to an Experienced Owner who will Rip You The gently caress Off! Small Market Superstars (50-112) Idaho Potatoes (72-90) Dusty Baker's Base Cloggers (73-89) Cuyahoga Flame (77-85) Seattle Cagey Bees (80-82) Omaha Forgettables (81-81) Glacier Werebears (86-76) Your Dad's Beer League Team (91-71)  Loser Of The Finals Winner Of The Finals (to be Given Up For A Custom Player, if They Know What's Good For Them) CraigK fucked around with this message at 07:33 on Feb 29, 2016 |

Congratulations to the Base Cloggers for having everybody underperform well enough to draft a Ruth/Williams calibre player. That team is going to be good in the Sub-Par.

I'm not even sure they underperformed. 2b and 3b were dumpster fires, as expected. The bullpen was hot garbage, which happens sometimes. But yeah. You now have a great draft pick.

Checking in, demoralized more by the challenge of phone-reading this thread than by the predictable garbage fire that has been the Cuyahoga Flames. Nowhere for that pitching to go but up! (Nowhere for Torre to go but down?)

SO. I have a hypothetical question for Smasher: Is it possible for me to give up my guaranteed survival from the tag titles to somebody? Let's say somebody in the Sub Par League.  Not as a trade or anything. That seems hosed up.

Judging by the lack of despondence on Smasher's part, I'll assume that the Space Fish failed to win out while the Rakers and Hol Horses played to the exact combination of wins and losses necessary for a 3-way wildcard tie. That's good. I think you've written quite enough  ps: Congrats, TheMcD! You are an inspiration to teams with clone-filled rotations everywhere!
