 1.) EDDIE PLANK gets the ball in the tiebreaker. 2.) EDDIE COLLINS moves to 2b, putting Carew on the bench. The TRIPLE EDDIES of Plank, Collins, and Murray will not be denied their title! Let's go The Mites!

If I beat the Panderers in the WC, that's extremely cool. If I lose to the Panderers, I hope Pander wins the whole thing because I think that'll be the only way I can take the Pick 'Em.

 WEEK 26: END! END! Game of the Weak: Me posted:Mogul is a very silly engine. It's not made to do this sort of thing, and the flaws show every now and then.       Come back anytime, Gingemidget. I hope you're ok.       A strong final week gives you home field throughout the playoffs. Because of the tiebreaker series you'll have your whole rotation rested.       Get to trading.       You had your chance. Bases loaded in the 9th of that 9-8 loss, but Gwynn failed.       Get to trading.       Honestly I don't think you need to do anything. Just sit tight and win your round.       I don't get it. The pitching just completely crapped out.       JEB! can bring his rivals down with him, which is more than we can say for real JEB!       You almost blew it, but didn't. I think you're safe.       Get some offense, man. I dunno.       See bottom of post.       Get to trading.       See you next season.       Helluva strong finish. Not quite enough for home field, though.       You and Pander can put your heads together.       You're going to dominate the Gauntlet, I bet.       STRIFE IN THE KENSEI/JAMPACT HOUSEHOLD!       Well, you're promoting.       See bottom of post.       You prevented me from having to deal with a 3-way tie. So thanks. See you next season, friend.   Alright, so, here's where we stand: I believe I only need to kill 8 teams in The Gauntlet, but I'll defer to Smasher on what he wants to do with the extra slot. So if you're in Round 5 or higher, you're almost certainly safe.  TMMadMan! McD!: You have a 3 game series to determine the winner of the Punto division! Game 1 is in Towa City. Games 2 and 3 are in Joliet. There's an off day for travel. Jailbirds Larry Jackson: Ready to pitch. Bret Saberhagen: 1 day until rested. Juan Marichal: 2 days until rested. Pedro Martinez: 2 days until healthy. He can start Game 2. Demonhunters Bobby Mathews: Ready. Candy Cummings: Ready. Tommy Bond: 2 days until rested. Will White: 3 days until rested. Jack Powell Ichi: Ready. Pungry! DivineCoffeeBinge! Cthulhu! GVOLTT! The trading window is now open. Submit your Gauntlet rosters when ready. Probably will not start shucking teams until Monday at the earliest.

Alright, let's figure this poo poo out. First off, a slider change: Set Defensive Replacements to -5. For reasons I'm sure you can understand. Next, new rotation: SP1: Candy Cummings (next starter) SP2: Tommy Bond SP3: Will White SP4: Bobby Mathews SP5: Jack Powell Ichi This should mean that the three games of the tiebreaker should be started by: Candy Cummings for Game 1 in Towa City, Tommy Bond for Game 2 in Joliet, and Will White for Game 3 in Joliet. No changes for the lineup. We will win our third Sub-Par League Championship on the back of Frank Robinson, Sub-Par League dinger champion!

 Expansion Cup 23, August: Gloom Team Statistics      Analysis You know, it's pretty great how you replaced two players who were doing very badly and their replacements just poo poo the bed even harder. A good draft pick will await you.      Analysis I dunno. Something just isn't clicking, but you'll have a #1 draft pick to figure it out with.      Analysis       Analysis Mashed potatoes. Potatoes that mash. Below .500, yet dead in the middle. What a sad fate.      Analysis       Analysis Still in the hunt! Once more, just think of what Mathewson could've done for you if you had him in immediately...      Analysis STILL IN FIRST! But god drat, you're cutting it so, SO close! The bullpen is so absolutely saving your rear end here, including Even Year Bullshit All-Star Jake Peavy!      Analysis Well, at this point, we're just kind of running out the clock. Still, not a completely disastrous showing.      Analysis Still in the hunt! Schang's getting cold, but the Ruths are picking up, which is a net plus. While CVE's bullpen is the clear bullpen MVP, yours might be a hidden gem second place. You probably shouldn't expect that to repeat, but it's helping here.      Analysis Much like the Ralphie May's, we're just kind of stuck running out the clock. Not bad enough to compete for draft pick #1, not good enough to compete for the top. Standings  Leaders

well, might as well set my trade block, now that I'm basically guaranteed to go down to the subpar. Mostly looking for starting pitching, although I wouldn't turn down interesting enough bats one of 1981 Ted Simmons, or 1995 Mike Piazza 1953 Eddie Mathews 1998 Larry Walker 1983 Bruce Sutter or 1981 Rollie Fingers and in theory one of 1996 Manny Ramirez or 1956 Willie Mays, but I'm more likely to give them another chance in the subpar, where I expect them to hit better

Well, it's a winning month and there's still a chance of getting to .500. Things seem to be working. One thing I noticed, though, is that Mogul thinks Stan the Man should not be playing right field. So lets switch him witch Albert Belle on the field, but not in the batting order.

HulkaMatt posted:Everyone should root for the Mites in the tiebreaker unless you're fairgame or dannomack The Mites are my team so I am 100% rooting for them. Also it doesn't matter. The 5 points I'd gain on everyone when the Mites win isn't enough to offset the 15 points I'd lose on most everyone if the Panderers win. Pick 'Em is literally: no matter what happens at this point, I win unless the Panderers win the whole thing. In which case, you win. e: that might not be right. If RCMP loses the tiebreaker AND wins the championship, then I think Deadford wins. FairGame fucked around with this message at 22:47 on Nov 30, 2017 |

I'm actually kind of surprised we're this close to .500, to be honest. Also I'm kind of curious just how many times we've been caught stealing because holy loving  at those steal numbers. My favorite is Crazy Legs Canseco with 5 steals.Also also let's put Wade Boggs as DH in the same slot in the lineup just because.

Jose Canseco actually stole a good amount of bases. He was 30/30 a few times, I believe. e: he was 40/40 once, 1 steal short of 30/30 once, but still swiped 200 bags in his career vs. 88 CS. He's not a lumbering monster like Mark McGwire.

Alright, let's go ahead and start the 4 man rotation now.

It's been a fun season regardless of the outcome. But I hope you lose! Even though I not sure I'm ready for the SL

If I do nothing I'll feel bad when I inevitably miss the EC update due to oversleeping and being like two games out at the end, so some very last minute changes to quell the roaring beast that is my generalized anxiety. - Swap Jamieson and Gardner's spots in the lineup - Swap Lefferts and Hoyt in the bullpen Fingers crossed...

Expansion Cup 23, September: Despair Team Statistics     Needs Bullpen and SS are the most glaring needs, I think. Getting help at C would also be a plus.     Needs Pitching is probably where this team needs the most help. Just, all the pitching.     Needs To get with the times, grandpa. A team made during SL12 can't compete with the hip new teams made during SL23. Also, holy poo poo, my team's lineage goes back to SL12. I have been here way too long.     Needs People that can get on base. Also, I'm not confident in that pitching at all, but hell, maybe it'll work.     Needs SS, 1B and 3B are places where you can probably do better. The bullpen is also filled with guys that'll probably get murdered, but whose bullpen isn't?     Needs To thank whatever gods you sacrificed Baumgartner to. Christ, what a run. Again, the bullpen is probably going to be an issue in the long run.     Needs To figure out which demon placed a curse on you. Your luck is just absolutely hosed. Anyway, I don't think you have that much to fix, at least not to the degrees other teams have to. 3B is worth looking at, and bullpen help is always good.     Needs RF and SS are definitely improvable, and the rotation is going to need a piece or two.     Needs 2B, 3B, SS, incredibly badly. Bullpen and rotation, badly. Good luck, you'll need it.     Needs Bullpen and rotation isn't optimal. There's a lot of fine options in the hitting, though, so you can afford to concentrate on pitching, I'd say. Standings  Leaders  Draft Order: #1: Cobb County Kestrels (66-96) #2: Chicago Cubs (71-91) #3: Idaho Potatoes (75-87) #4: Venice Serene Lions (77-85) #5: Ruston Ralphie May's (81-81) #6: SanSan Outlaws (90-72) #7: Morioh Crazy Diamonds (91-71) #8: Prague Plague Doctors (97-65) #9: Omaha Forgettables (98-64)
