 Tag Team Tournament XIII: Pool Play, Day One  : Wait, "Bring me Placido Polanco" is a draft post? : Uh, I guess, anyway, we're here to-: How the gently caress was I supposed to guess that? : I mean, I guess that-: And then this roster post for the Mites, doesn't even say who to demote and who to promote. What is this?: So, Pool Play-: No, you know what, FairGame, you're telling me to take more time off? I'll take a day off! I'll take one off right now! No update today! How about that for time off?: Smasher, I don't think-: Update over!

But my whole bench was specified, so anybody not on it is demoted  Alright then, we can do it with explicit moves. MITES 1.) draft Polanco and promote him to the majors, sending down Lee 2.) Travis off the DL, demote Cepeda 3.) Demote Barr, promote Ryan 4.) Order the bullpen: Ramos/Cishek/Laroche/Kimbrel/Tanana/Ryan 5.) Make Joss the next starter 6.) Lineups Hamilton, LF Speaker, CF Ott, RF Murray, 1b Travis/Chapman platoon, 3b Collins, 2b Megatheny, C Vizquel, SS -Pitcher- E: Tanana, not Tanaka. Stupid autocorrect. FairGame fucked around with this message at 01:05 on Oct 31, 2017 |

Well, with my draft picks, I'd like to make the following changes: 1. Call up Paul Waner, send down Lloyd Waner with Paul coming back from injury. 2. Place Larry Walker in the majors, sending down Heinie Manush. Set Walker as starting CF, Dom DiMaggio goes to the bench. 3. Place Eddie Cicotte at SP4, moving Larry Jackson to LR, and sending Cy Blanton to the minors. On this note, remove Ed Bailey as personal catcher for Jackson; make him Ron Guidry's personal C. And now, the batting order changes! Lineup w/ DH: 1. Pete Rose (2B) 2. Wade Boggs (3B) 3. Ted Williams (LF) 4. Jimmie Foxx (1B) 5. Larry Walker (CF) 6. Billy Williams (RF vs. RHP/DH vs. LHP) 7. Paul Waner (DH vs. RHP/RF vs. LHP) 8. Arky Vaughan (SS) 9. Ivan Rodriguez (C) [Ed Bailey becomes personal C for Ron Guidry] Lineup w/ no DH: 1. Pete Rose (2B) 2. Wade Boggs (3B) 3. Ted Williams (LF) 4. Jimmie Foxx (1B) 5. Larry Walker (CF) 6. Billy Williams (RF) 7. Arky Vaughan (SS) 8. Ivan Rodriguez (C) [Ed Bailey becomes personal C for Ron Guidry] 9. [pitcher] I guess that's all for now. Yes, I realize Walker isn't in his native RF, but I've heard he might be capable in CF. We'll see how that goes.

It's been 24 hours so Nissan Cup Nudist is skipped. He can still pick. My wife JR Leap is on the clock. She's currently occupied with lotsa stuff so I'll pick for her. Owlbears select 1998 Ivan Rodriguez that was easy.

The 13th Tag Team Tournament: Pool Play, Day One : I wonder if I can stall for another day?: Wait, Smasher, before you do, I have a very special co-commentator for today's games! It's Johnny Hopp, baseball bunny! : ...: He's a rabbit. He doesn't talk. Or write. Or commentate in any way.: Oh, come on, Smasher, rabbits can be very expressive!: nohopenohopenohopenohopenohopenohopenohopenohopenohopenohopenohopenohopenohopenohopenohopenohopenohopenohopenohopenohopenohope: Wait, what?: Fine, whatever, let's just get on with it.Arcade MACHINE Record: 27-13, 1st Place, Pool A, 2.0 Game Lead   : See, this is what I like.

So, maybe less fitting?: I guess. Um, Smasher-: no soul empty: I think we have a problem.Bash the Mash Record:27-17, 2nd Place, Pool A, 2.0 Games Back   : Agreed, Yoshida, look at this, look at this. Bash the Mash with a chance to defeat Arcade MACHINE? What has happened to the tag team sport of kings. Or the sport of tag team kings. Are there any tag team kings? I can't think of any situations where two men sharing the title of king proved to be stable.: Just want to sleep forever. Let it all end.: Smasher, Johnny Hopp is saying bad things!Bullet Crow Record: 22-21, 5th Place, Pool C, 6.0 Games Back   : What? Holy poo poo, look at Bullet Crow. I guess we'll be relying on another team to dethrone Arcade MACHINE. Truly disappointing.: just another failure. nothing ever works out. they should just give up.: The rabbit is talking to me!DC Cabal Record: 22-20, 2nd Place, Pool B, 4.0 Games Back   : Impossible. Rabbits can't talk. Except in that story I wrote, where one of the DC Cabal was a rabbit and talked. Or was it Shepard. Could it talk? I can't even remember what the hell I'm writing about at this point. Hard to remember 500 updates or however many I've done.: All of them pointless: Fair point.: Wait, you can hear Johnny Hopp?Doo-Rags Record: 28-19, 2nd Place, Pool C, 2.0 Games Back   : Man, if they get anything out of New Hoss, they'll kill this Pool.: No, Smasher, focus! You can hear Johnny Hopp saying things?: enditall: Later, I have to finish the update first. What were you talking about Yoshida?: Smasher, the rabbit is evil!Eazy Breezy Record: 29-16, 1st Place, Pool C, 2.0 Games Lead   : Rabbit evil? Impossible. Hey, look at that! If the W's win the tournament, then I don't have to kill them! And I do get to kill the Scientists!: and yourself: Right, and that too!: Smasher!: Yoshida, there's nothing to worry about.El Hombres Sin Nombres Record: 20-25, 3rd Place, Pool A, 9.5 Games Back   : More like Hombres sin Victories. :  : He's playing New Order! Smasher, where does it end?: The Smiths? I don't know. Flying Hellfish Record: 27-17, 1st Place, Pool B, 4.0 Games Lead   : This loving team! This...wait, do I hate these guys?: hate everyone, yourself most of all, hate everything, hate the world hatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehate: We need to do something!Guernica Record: 26-18, 1st Place, Pool D, 7.5 Games Lead   : Man, given enough time Pander will find a way, I guess.: killhurtpainmiserykillhurtpainmiserykillhurtpainmiserykillhurtpainmiserykillhurtpainmiserykillhurtpainmiserykillhurtpainmisery: That is a good point.: Smasher, stop listening to the rabbit!: But he's making a lot of sense today!Imminent Failures Record: 18-25, 2nd Place, Pool D, 7.5 Games Back   : Pander beating mentholmoose? It does seem right.: nowhe'sgoingtowhineandwhineandwhineandwhinenopointshouldjustquitsothey'llallleavemealonejustwanttobealone: The rabbit is on fire today.: Smasher!Llamites Record: 23-23, 3rd Place, Pool B, 5.0 Games Back   : Right.whybother?sleepforever: Smasher! We need to stop Johnny Hopp before it's too late.Owlrines Record: 26-19, 3rd Place, Pool C, 3.0 Games Back   : Another bizarrely good tag team performance from cbx.: don'tcaredon'tcaredon'tcaredon'tcaredon'tcaredon'tcare: We need to get a priest.Pippo Madness Record: 24-22, 4th Place, Pool C, 5.5 Games Back   : Huh? A priest, why?: she'sgoingtomakethingsworsestopherstopherstopherstopher: I don't actually know any priests! But I think I know a thing or two about exorcisms.Slimyville Sharks Record: 14-30, 5th Place, Pool A, 15.0 Games Back   : Man, nope. Just nope.: The power of Christ compels!: naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah: Uh oh.Starless and Bible Black Record: 17-27, 3rd Place, Pool D, 9.5 Games Back   : Prog rock is more about the art than commercial success. As is this team.: sdkjflsjfpweojrfwkemfpweponfwepfnwepf!: Those aren't even words! Wait, why the ground shaking? Is that a portal to hell! That's not good!Syndicate A Record: 17-29, 4th Place, Pool D, 10.0 Games Back   : Filler!: sahdfojrewomfwepngfweknflwenk!: Smasher, Johnny Hopp is opening a portal to hell! You need to do something before we get dragged in!The Goog Place Record: 21-22, 4th Place, Pool B, 5.5 Games Back   : By Goog standards, this team has a great chance of succeeding!: Hwrwefwegwegfs!: Smasher! Portal! Hell! Bad! Hell is bad!Thomas 2 Thomas Record: 19-27, 4th Place, Pool A, 11.0 Games Back   : Thomas 2 Thomas 2 Grave. You know, I was in Joliet today. They still sell Super-Donuts there. You ever had a Super-Donut?: aerwerbweirbew!: Smasher, if at any time you would take two seconds to look at what's happening, you could save us from utter damnation!: It's supposed these enriched donut things, with vitamins and minerals, I think. They served them for breakfast at Chicago Public Schools back in the day. One thing I never understood is that you could store them for months at room temperature, and they'd still be coated with oil when you removed them from the wrapper. Twin Cities Triad Record: 18-24, 5th Place, Pool B, 8.0 Games Back   : Beh.: HERTGWEGERGREGER!: We're being dragged to hell! NOOOOOOOOOO!Standings   : Well, that's it for day one.: Wait, we were just dragged to hell, and...nothing changed. The Super-League was hell all along?: What? Yeah, I guess. Makes you think.

The 13th Tag Team Tournament: Pool Play, Day Two : Well, we're back. What happened last time?: Johnny Hopp sent us to hell...which turned out to just be more Super-League. : Yeah, that sounds right. Well, let's get to it.Arcade MACHINE Record: 52-28, Pool A Winners!   : SHOCKING!: So, what are you plans if Arcade MACHINE wins again?: We'll cross that bridge if we come to it. Actually, 'if' is optimistic looking at the rest of this field.Banned and Damned Record: 34-46, 4th Place, Pool D   : Both banned and damned.: Smasher, is Arkansas a real place?: What? No. God, no. It's a place that parents make up to scare their children into being good. You know, 'brush your teeth, or you'll end up in Arkansas, where the state is owned by Walmart and you're completely hosed if you aren't a straight, white Christian.' But it's not real.Bash the Mash Record: 48-32, 2nd Place, Pool A   : This is a moral victory.: Yay!: Moral victories still don't count in the Super-League. : Aw.Bullet Crow Record: 41-39, 3rd Place, Pool C   : For those who don't get the reference, 'Bullet Club' refers to a largely American group of wrestlers who primarily perform for New Japan Pro Wrestling.: They still have wrestling in Japan?: Yes, but as you point out, public consciousness of wrestling in Japan is not at a particularly high level.DC Cabal Record: 40-40, 3rd Place, Pool B   : Perfectly average.: Is that good?: I don't know.Doo-Rags Record: 42-38, 2nd Place, Pool C   : Not a bad team, however...: Wait for it...Eazy Breezy Record: 46-34, Pool C Winners!   : Here's the real pool winner.: W's gonna live! We're going to make it! Smasher, put me on the team! It's my destiny to defeat Arcade MACHINE, I can feel it!: Normally, I'd do it, but it feels like if Arcade MACHINE goes down, there can't be any irregularities.El Hombres Sin Nombres Record: 30-50, 4th Place, Pool A   : Or, as they say in Mexico...bad.: Bad?: Plenty of people in Mexico can speak English.Flying Hellfish Record: 49-31, Pool B Winners!   : drat THE HELLFISH! Wait, do I hate the Hellfish?: I mean, they're something that exists, so...yes?: drat THEM!Guernica Record: 47-33, Pool D Winners!   : Given a long enough time frame, Pander is inevitable.: That's true. It makes me feel sad on the inside, but it's true.Imminent Failures Record: 34-46, 5th Place, Pool D   : In fairness, this failure is no longer imminent.: That's true, I guess.Llamites Record: 38-42, 5th Place, Pool B   : Respectable. But not a lot more than that. But, hey, growing pains or something.: That may be literally as nice as you're capable of being.Owlrines Record: 41-39, 4th Place, Pool C   : Pretty good considering the limited pool of talent they had to work with. Just not good in an absolute sense.: Also relatively nice!Pippo Madness Record: 39-41, 5th Place, Pool C   : Terrible and bad and terrible and bad!: Not...quite as nice.Slimyville Sharks Record: 27-53, 5th Place, Pool A   : If I could take a minute here to be serious, I want to applaud Jampact for the incredible amount of patience she shows with kensei. Now, I don't know a lot about marriage, but if my husband or other spouse had come to me and gone, 'honey, I have this great new game! It's on a forum, and people post spreadsheets at each other, and it's run by a dangerously mentally unhealthy person whose severe and obvious mental illnesses I am clearly exacerbating by being part of it! You should totally join.' I think that my first instinct would be to check his life insurance policy, and see if there was a double indemnity payout for an accidental railway death. Then I would carefully watch the movie Double Indemnity, trying to figure out where Fred MacMurray went wrong.: That took a turn.Starless and Bible Black Record: 36-44, 3rd Place, Pool D   : Yoshida, if you could blow up the sun, would you do it? Be honest.: What?: I know that everyone would say they wouldn't blow up the sun, for the sake of appearances, but deep down, you know you want to blow that fucker up, and burn the world.: What?: Admit it, Yoshida, if I came up to you with a button, and told you that if you hit the button, the sun would explode and no one would ever know, you'd hit that button!: No, I wouldn't! Syndicate A Record: 40-40, 2nd Place, Pool D   : You guys can't even beat filler more than half of the time. No wonder Arcade MACHINE keeps eating your souls. No teamwork!: Well, in fairness, the Syndicate wasn't actually about teamwork. It was just one guy. : He was the best.The Goog Place Record: 43-37, 2nd Place, Pool B   : This is the best result a Goog team has had in 23 seasons. If I could hand them the pool, and send the Flying Hellfish straight to hell, I'd do it. Also, because that would show mks5000.: The Flying Hellfish are owned by kensei and Shepard.: Right. Well, it would show Shepard. As for kensei, I mean, well, I can only assume that a train will take care of him. For insurance purposes, you see.Thomas 2 Thomas Record: 33-47, 3rd Place, Pool A   : TMMadman had a dream of White Frank Thomas hitting a pinch-hit home run to defeat Arcade MACHINE. Dream denied!: But at least he had a dream.: Yes, but unlike a dream deferred, of course, one need not wonder if a dream denied will dry like a raisin or fester. It will simply die! And certainly not explode.: What?: It's a reference to "Harlem", the poem by Langston Hughes. : You're making a lot of old-timey references today.Twin Cities Triad Record: 40-40, 4th Place, Pool B   : I still don't know the difference between South Dakota and North Dakota.: One's north of the other?: Yes, technically speaking, but is there a substantive difference between the two?: The north one is slightly colder? One of them has Mt. Rushmore?: Is that a good thing?: Well, Lincoln was okay. Washington and Jefferson were kind of big on slavery, which isn't great, and Theodore Roosevelt was big on imperialism, which also wasn't great. So, it's a quarter-good! : That's a downright Pungrian ratio.Standings   : Well, there you have it! In one semi-final, the Flying Hellfish will attempt the seemingly impossible as they try and take down the champions-eternal, Arcade MACHINE.: The Hellfish have a lot of firepower, but you wonder how good that rotation really is, and Arcade MACHINE did go 6-2 against them in pool play.: In the other, it is faith vs. reason: THE FINAL CONFRONTATION! There is absolutely no good reason that Eazy Breezy should beat Guernica. And yet, they were nearly even overall in pool play, and split ten games in head-to-head play. : W's gonna win!: I guess we'll find out tomorrow!
