Considering I have traded away three starting players I guess I had better post a new lineup too. Send down Rudy York, call up Wally Schang, Willie McCovey and Cy Falkenberg and set Falkenberg to LR code:

 The 11th Tag Team Tournament: Pool Play, Day One  : You know, Yoshida, with expansion open, and basically no sign-ups, it looks like I'm finally free of the Warlock's curse and can quit the Super-League! : Good?: It's the best news, Yoshida. That loving rear end in a top hat thought that it was fair to curse me with the Super-League just because I punched him in the kidney three or four times at most.: I'm still not clear why you did that.: I did not care for either his interpreation of the Qabbalistic Tree of Life or his view of Gnostic scriptures.: I'm glad you still have a commitment to accessible jokes.: Anyway, let's get this going.Anime Maniacs Record: 15-20, 3rd Place, Pool D, 8.0 Games Back   : These guys broke the rules, which is bad, and then managed to not even profit from it. I am profoundly disappointed.: Yeah, you're only supposed to have 14 batters on a tag team.: Then again, given how their pitching is doing, I think they're already paying the price for having too thin a pitching staff.Arcade MACHINE! Record: 30-11, 1st Place, Pool A, 7.5 Games Ahead   : I think just about everyone picked Arcade MACHINE to win their pool. They were right to do so.: It's nice to see that there are some constants in this world.: Like my depression and my disinterest in any Super Bowl that does not involve the Packers. I mean, I hate the Falcons, because, well, gently caress the South in general, but Brady and Belichek are friends with Trump. It's like asking whether I want to root for Satan or Lucifer. Black and Blues Record: 13-26, 5th Place, Pool C, 11.0 Games Back   : Someone has to be in last place. This time, it's these guys.: Can anything be done?: 11 games back with about 40 to play is essentially insurmountable, especially with that many teams between them and first place, and those teams playing each other a lot. But, then again, winning or losing in the Tag Team Tournament does not prove a person's general worth. By itself. It is a good indicator of personal worth, however.: Yaya has personal worth? Good for him.: That is NOT what I said.CanaDA Bomb! Record: 24-13, 1st Place, Pool C, 2.0 Games Ahead   : Canadians are surprisingly good at tag teams. Yoshida, make a note!: Canadians are good at teamsmanship, okay, have it down.: Bad at Mexican food, though.: Would they be expected to be? Especially since it's not like they have access to the key ingredients, since nothing but barley and winter wheat can grow in Canada. : I will brook not excuses!DC Cabal Record: 24-17, 3rd Place, Pool C, 1.0 Games Back   : If Dem Bois-: Dat Bois.: If those loving frogs win this tag team tournament, I'm going to be quite upset. Flying Hellfish Record: 17-24, 4th Place, Pool A, 13.0 Games Back   : You have to give this team credit, I must have written 1000 words about how the Cloggers' bullpen had problems, and how their Dusty Baker's Base Cloggers after all, but these two said 'yes, let us use the Cloggers' bullpen here.' I applaud their courage.: It does seem to be making them lose a lot, though.: But what about their courage? Why, if there were an award for courage, I'd give to them, no questions asked. Sadly, there isn't. There is an award for winning this tournament, though, and I don't believe I can give them that ne.gently caress Defense Record: 22-20, 1st Place, Pool B, 3.5 Games Ahead   : This team stands for the proposition that, in any given pool, some team has to win it.: It is not the strongest pool. : Whoever wins is going to be brutally murdered by Arcade MACHINE in the semi-finals, it seemed cruel to put an elite team in the pool.Giant Losers Record: 16-23, 3rd Place, Pool B, 4.5 Games Back   : Disappointingly, these team are not giant losers, but instead a more prosaic, moderate form of loser.: Isn't that good?: No one remembers modest failures, Yoshida.Guernica Record: 15-23, 4th Place, Pool B, 5.0 Games Back   : It turns out that taking parts from two gimmick teams and putting them in a regular stadium doesn't end well for them.: Their peripherals make it seem like they should be better. But they aren't. Odd.Hellhounds Record: 21-14, 2nd Place, Pool D, 2.0 Games Back   : Can this team overtake CanaDA Bomb and win the pool?: Maybe!: Really?: Can New Hoss pitch every game for them?: No.: Oh.Monateam VI Record: 25-16, 1st Place, Pool C, 0.5 Games Ahead   : Deal with it, Super-Nerds!: Is this a tournament legal lineup?: I must protect my league from the Dat Bois at any cost, Yoshida. Any cost.Moon Science Record: 20-18, 3rd Place, Pool A, 8.5 Games Back   : That's a respectable record.: Yeah! I mean, it's not going to win this pool, but it is respectable.Paper Knights Record: 12-25, 5th Place, Pool D, 12.0 Games Back   : Remember to make sure your csvs are good, guys.: Truly, a cautionary tale. Super Freaks Record: 14-20, 4th Place, Pool C, 7.5 Games Back   : Okay, so, let me start out by saying that, given how things are going, this team probably wasn't going to win its pool.: But they tried.: Sure. But, wait, no. Are you telling me that, on whichever team brought the DH to this team, that Randolph is really the best candidate for the DH spot? Don't get me wrong, Randolph was a good player, and a decent hitter for his position and era, so long as you understand that we're talking about middle infielders in the era where there were ton of big concrete donuts with turf. The Buddy System Record: 17-22, 4th Place, Pool D, 8.0 Games Back   : Is forzelt around anymore?: I don't really follow the Sub-Par League. Super-busy with that, um, plot, you've got going on in the Super-League recaps this season.: I hate my life.The CooL Guys Record: 23-15, 2nd Place, Pool C, 0.5 Games Back   : Can this team overcome hardship?: A team with Slug Lyfe and the Crows? They don't seem like the most resilient pairing.: HulkaMatt has hidden depths.: Really?: He has to, Yoshida. He just has to.The Third Law Record: 21-17, 2nd Place, Pool A, 7.5 Games Back   : What is the Third Law, Yoshida? I'm assuming it's a reference to Asimov. : That a robot can't destroy itself unless to do otherwise would violate one of the first two laws.: Grim that you'd need that law. Twin Cities Triad Record: 18-23, 2nd Place, Pool B, 3.5 Games Back   : I have grave doubts about the efficacy of public schooling in the Upper Midwest. I just want to get that out there.: Does Sodak count as the Upper Midwest?: I don't know, it's not like there's a huge change from the Western parts of Minnesota and the eastern parts of Sodak, either in terms of the climate or people. It's all Hot Dish for miles out there.: Hot Dish?: Well, you take some macaroni, some ground beef, some canned tomatoes, maybe some other canned vegetables or soup, some cheese, dump it all in a cassarole dish, and then bake it. : Is it good?: Yoshida, it's not something you eat for the taste, it's something you eat to try and get your organs to kill themselves in shame so you can stop it all. Standings   : Surprises....are not what is happening here.: Monateam VI is doing pretty good. Although, they probably won't hold on to the lead in Pool C.: They probably won't, no. Until tomorrow!

The Third Law is actually a reference to Newton's Third Law, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Or adapted for the Super-League, that for every gimmick team, there is an equal and opposite gimmick team. It's probably the most intellectual reference I've ever produced in my life. As for the actual team, let's bring out the bench because gently caress it, maybe one of these guys will get hot. Fryman in for Sewell, Manush in for Averill, Goslin in for Greenberg, Connor in for Waner, York in for Schang. Rabidsquid can veto these changes if he wishes to. If he wants to do something else, he can go ahead and do it.

The 11th Tag Team Tournament: Pool Play, Day Two : The time has come for the third-most decisive day in this entire Tag Team Tournament! Pool Play, Day Two! Where 18 teams are whittled down to two.: And the exciting thing going into pool play is that we have the chance to see and exciting and new team win Pool B! The other three pools will not have exciting or new winners.: Barring a miracle, probably not.Anime Maniacs Record: 35-45, 4th Place, Pool D, 9.0 Games Back   : There is nothing whimsical about the brutal defeat of this team. It runs contrary to the spirit of the Animaniacs, to put it mildly.: It is kind of like Pinky and the Brain, in that a plan to conquer the world was undone due to shenanigans! : Neither Monathin nor Harlock has the gravitas or pathos of the Brain.Arcade MACHINE! Record: 50-30, Pool A Winners   : Some things change. This is not one of them.: They slowed down a bit in the second-half, but not nearly enough for it to cost them.Black and Blues Record: 35-45, 5th Place, Pool C, 15.0 Games Back   : A fitting name.: Smasher, say something nice.: Fine. It was a tough pool, and this team could have done worse. In theory.CanaDA Bomb! Record: 44-36, Pool D Winners   : These guys are pretty decent, in a sort of underwhelming way for a team that has three Babe Ruths in the middle of their lineup.: They did win their pool.: By all of one game, and against teams that were less than titanic in reputation. But, they'll have a chance to disappoint on the semi-final stage.DC Cabal Record: 40-40, 3rd Place, Pool C, 10.0 Games Back   : A perfectly average performance.: Yeah! Smasher, what is DC like?: Washington DC was a planned city using the state of the art techniques from the 18th century built with slave labor. Given those limitations, it's doing great!Flying Hellfish Record: 42-38, 3rd Place, Pool A, 8.0 Games Back   : I'd like to present this very accurate re-enactment of the end of this tag team.: Is Kraftwerk real?: Of course not, Yoshida. Why the very thought of such a band existing in the real world. No, don't let fear of Kraftwerk trouble your soul.gently caress Defense Record: 38-42, 2nd Place, Pool B, 6.0 Games Back   : I feel like this team might have been able to hold onto its lead had it actually had defense.: Wait, did that mean that the Giant Losers won this pool?Giant Losers Record: 32-48, 4th Place, Pool B, 12.0 Games Back   : They most certainly did not. : So, the Twin Cities Triad won? Right, Smasher? Right? Because it has to be them, because otherwise-: ...: Smasher? Please, don't say it's true!Guernica Record: 44-36, Pool B Winners   : It's all too true!: But how could this have happened? We finally escaped Pander magic! It can't end like this! Maybe they only won because they cheated in a Walter Clarkson!: I'm afraid not. It will be up to the MACHINE now.Hellhounds Record: 43-37, 2nd Place, Pool D, 1.0 Games Back   : Close! But there are no wildcard teams in the Tag Team Tournament.: If you only had three pools, you could put in a wildcard round.: That might be more fair in theory, but it seems like it would be more work. Unless I could turn that wildcard round into an entire other day and extend the tournament by an update.: An entire update for one game?: I think I could make it a best-of-three series.: I don't know.Monateam VI Record: 42-38, 2nd Place, Pool C, 8.0 Games Back   : Everything was going great for this team until one of its owners remembered it existed.: Moon Science Record: 32-48, 4th Place, Pool A, 18.0 Games Back   : That got less respectable so fast.: Yeah.Paper Knights Record: 33-47, 5th Place, Pool D, 11.0 Games Back   : Not the worst record overall in the tournament. That has to count for something.: Do you hand out wooden spoons?: I do not, mainly because most teams that bad do not live long enough for that to be worthwhile. Although I guess we could start giving them out to the worst teams that survive the Gauntlet each season.Super Freaks Record: 36-44, 4th Place, Pool C, 14.0 Games Back   : David Bowie once had a phase where he unironically praised fascists. : That's not good.: No, it wasn't. But my point is that anyone can have a down period.The Buddy System Record: 42-38, 3rd Place, Pool D, 2.0 Games Back   : So noted.: Did we ever find out if forzelt was still around?: He was probably in our heart the entire time.The CooL Guys Record: 50-30, Pool C Winners   : Interesting.: Oh no, but if this team wins the Tag Team Tournament, then that would mean that the W's could be doomed!: Because I couldn't demote the Crows? Huh. I'd probably kill the Janus first.The Third Law Record: 46-34, 2nd Place, Pool A, 4.0 Games Back   : A spirited comeback that ultimately meant nothing. Beautiful, in its own way.: I guess you're happy that, now, if worse comes to worse, you can kill the H-Zephyrs for good in a Macho Men Challenge.: It is somewhat gratifying, yes.Twin Cities Triad Record: 36-44, 3rd Place, Pool B, 8.0 Games Back   : The Triad hit some many dingers because they had so many power hitters, mystery solved.: Okay!Standings   : Well, that will close out Pool Play, and eliminate 14 tag teams that failed both themselves and the league.: That seems a little harsh.: Indeed, Yoshida, the depth of their failure was a harsh and painful blow. But now we turn to the semi-finals. In the first one, the two-time defending tag team champions of the world, Arcade MACHINE faces off against the bewildering alchemy of Guernica.: Why did you pick that name?: Because Pander's gimmickry has both distorted the proportions of the league and led to untold horror and destruction. Just like Guernica!: Arcade MACHINE has the better record, played in the better pool to get that record, has better players, and isn't reliant on gimmicks which don't exist in the Tag Team Tournament. I guess they're the favorites.: And in the second semi-final, it's The CooL Guys against CanaDA Bomb!. : Two experienced teams, made up mostly of veteran teams having bad seasons in the Super-League oddly, though I guess the Doom are doing almost okay. These teams are very similar, it feels almost like a coin flip. : Until tomorrow, then!
