Worth noting is if a player is on the list, it doesn't necessarily mean they're unusable. In a League where Ken Oberkfell can be the starting 3B for a Championship team, any decent player in real life might be able to work in the right setting.

The point was that these players are guys who, based on name recognition alone, you'd expect to work out in almost any setup. But they come up short. Also, I forgot one important one: 1. Walter Johnson. But only when he's on craigk's team.

Hard to believe Nen could ever struggle, tough life edit: I am always sad when that Gibson dies though. also it would be cool if Bruce Petway found his way into the Super League. Also I didn't realize the Marmosets have Turkey Stearnes! rabidsquid fucked around with this message at 07:23 on Nov 15, 2016 |

mrnoun posted:Third Base I'm convinced the problem is that Eddie Mathews was secretly horrible against left handed pitching, and not enough people here platoon him. I have had great success with him in the SL when not letting him ever see a left handed starter. It could also be that playing in a homer stadium helps him some...

Championship Series Pick 'em! Pick the Winners, Number of Games (Best of Seven) and Score of Final Game Sindhi Sheikhs vs. RCMP -- RCMP in 5, 6-3 Khartoum Doom vs. Portland Panderers -- Panderers in 6, 7-2 I hope you can all see by Lou Whitaker's modest success in the SL while Joe Morgan struggles that Whitaker is a no doubt Hall of Fame player. tadashi fucked around with this message at 15:47 on Nov 15, 2016 |

I think mogul doesn't always understand pitchers limiting hits without high strikeout totals. Great ERA+ like Johnson had doesn't mean much in mogul unless peripherals back it up.

shepard.shouldgo posted:Doesn't Beet already have a pending Macho challenge from when he accepted before last years finals? Yep. What would being double Macho'd entail? Losing your first team, keeping three players from that team, building a new team from the leftover feeders, then immediately losing that team, keeping three players from it and building a new team from the leftover leftover feeders while Smasher gets to take two players for the Macho Men?

When Aaron Ledesma's bat is caked in the humors of each and every Macho Man then and only then will our journey be complete. Of course we accept the challenge.

I would have definitely taken the challenge! Too bad the Sheikhs are too strong. The Sheikhs biggest obstacle to a Super League championship will be keeping a straight face. Sheikhs in 3. In the DLCS and the Finals.

Shepards entry into the surprisingly low turnout "make smasher happy" contest Smasher, I've figured out whats wrong with the Packers. It took millions of dollars in research to find a microscope able to read the fine print, but somebody didn't catch a key part of the head coach assembly instructions. This, along with playing Washington soon, should fix all the Packers problems

My entry into the Make Smasher Happy contest. ---------- Part 1 ---------- First, mute the sound on this video and click play: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-lwgdMqrXY&t=30s Then click play on this video, but with the sound on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4UA61C6EOM Enjoy for 8 or 9 minutes. ---------- Interlude ---------- To cleanse your musical palate you might want to turn off the above song and enjoy what most critics agree is the greatest rap song in history: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJ3io7Xgzio&t=29s ---------- Part 2 ---------- With your palate cleansed, it's time to watch this stand up comedy act that is a combination of peak Carlin and peak Pryor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjTZyzGMYk0 Enjoy 3 or 4 minutes. ---------- Interlude ---------- Want some more sick music? Please enjoy this influential 1990's hit about the Super League's best closer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6p4J4lu-bA ---------- Part 3 ---------- Next play this audio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gB3pD3UYf0 While you watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qFLKBgvojM ---------- Interlude ---------- For your final musical number, please enjoy one of my legit favourite songs by Drake's uncle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1IuD6F3R5I ---------- Part 4 ---------- Finally I want to leave you with a video that is so powerful. So poignant. So NECESSARY, that I recommend watching it every night before bed and every morning when you wake up as a form of daily affirmation. I do.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMbKYCrcnkY

  I can't believe Smasher is making me post an update on Overwatch patch day. What the gently caress. Frustrated isn't the goddamn word for it - this is bullshit!   Team Statistics    Hey oldskool, next time you make an earth-shattering trade that shakes up your entire team, you should post your new roster instead of making me guess at it.    Mike Schmidt did good!    I guess these guys aren't dead yet.    Three Petes is good, but they're all over 34 years old. Harder to dominate at that age. EC Pick 'em: The Gauntlet, Round 4 Pick TWO!
