GVOLTT: Dec 27, 2012; Honestly, I don't know what I want to put here, so I'm going with this.

Set Ed Walsh as the starter for the wildcard game. Also, what the heck, Red Faber recovered, so Faber to SP2, Stan Coveleski to LR, Eddie Cicotte to minors. I realize this won't really matter unless I win the wildcard game, but I guess I want Faber available in a wildcard emergency.

And just so Mogul doesn't gently caress things up and pick a different player to start at RF while Aaron is injured for the wildcard game, Larry Walker to RF, Hank Aaron to bench.

Postseason pick-'em scoring rules

Usual rules apply, only owners coming from the EC are eligible to participate. Also, the repechage is not part of the pick-'em, since it won't have happened by the time the sandwich round comes about.

Super-League Wildcard Round
Pick the winner, 2 points if correct.

Sub-Par League Gauntlet
Pick the two survivors of the round (or however many survivors there are in the last round), 2 points per correct survivor.

Super-League Playoffs
Sub-Par League Playoffs
Commissar's Cup ^{(if played)}
Pick the winner of the series, the number of games in the series, and the final score of the last game in the series. Remember that the SL Divisional series is 5 games long, other playoff series are 7 games, and the Macho Man series is 9 games.
1 point for the winner of the series.
3 points for correct length of series, must have gotten series winner right to be eligible.
10 points for exact score of final game in series, must have gotten series winner right to be eligible, does not need to have gotten series length right.
4 points if your prediction of the score of the final game of the series is no more than one run wrong for both teams (so for a 10-5 final score for example, you picked 9-4, 9-5, 9-6, 10-4, 10-6, 11-4, 11-5, or 11-6), must have gotten series winner right to be eligible, does not need to have gotten series length right.

Sub-Par League 16: Week 26: Denouement

From the Clerk of the Supreme Court posted:

Date: October 3, 20XX, of Sub-Par League Season XVI
Place: Washington, DC

(It is the THIRD TO LAST GAME of the ROBOUMPS season. Their MAGIC NUMBER is ONE. Yet the BOMBERS are NOT DEAD. Should the ROBOUMPS be swept, and the BOMBERS win out, the ROBOUMPS will be CONSIGNED to TOIL in the SUBPAR once again)

: At least the Landers are dead.

: Yeah, no more hearing mrnoun talk about how he has the best pythagorean record in the division.

: You can thank me for that.

: We do. Now if you could just lose a game in this series we�ll be quite pleased!

(PITCHING this DIRE MATCHUP for the ROBOUMPS is RUBE WADDELL, who sported a DANDY 2.23 ERA to go with a SPIFFY 14-4 record at the TAG TEAM BREAK and promptly fell apart in the second half, boasting a BLOATED 5.63 ERA and a BLIGHTED 3-8 record)

: I�m totally excited for this series guys. I have a good feeling about it.

: Hmm.

(WADDELL takes the mound, and STRIKES OUT THE SIDE)

: Well, that was promising!

(The ROBOUMPS step to the plate against the BOMBER�S JOE MCGINNITY)

: I�m pulling for Joe McGinnity!

: Uh, that�s not our McGinnity. Ours isn�t starting until the final game.

: We might need him if we don�t win the first two?

(MCGINNITY retires the STRUGGLING offense of the ROBOUMPS after a leadoff walk to TY COBB comes to NAUGHT)

: Attaboy!

: Seriously, what is with you?

(WADDELL takes the mount again, and PUJOLS DOS raps a 1-2 HARD CURVE through the LEFT SIDE. PUJOLS DOS tries to stretch it into a
double, but HENRY AARON�s bullet ERASES the runner at second. It�s a good thing, as MIKE PIAZZA doubles shortly thereafter on another HARD CURVE, which would have scored PUJOLS DOS from first if not for the TOOTBLAN. Instead, the BOMBERS get NOTHING, after BANKS lines out and SIMMONS grounds out.)

: Damnit!

: Samuel, are you quite alright?

: I just forgot I� left the lights on at my house.

(MCGINNITY steps to the mound in the second to face the lower half of the ROBOUMPS order. GEORGE BRETT obliges by flying out to center, but HANK AARON singles on a soft line drive, and CAL RIPKEN puts MEN ON THE CORNERS with a single of his own.)

: Not a great start to the inning, but still in line for a double play ball.

(MENTHOLMOOSE�s hopes are DASHED by a WALLY SCHANG single through the hole past a diving ERNIE BANKS, scoring AARON)

: Ok Joe! No problem! Just stop the bleeding!

: Yeah Joe! You got this! Just buckle down!

: What the gently caress is wrong with you?

(MCGINNINTY induces RYNE SANDBERG to bounce an easy grounder to first, where ALBERT PUJOLS makes the HEADS UP PLAY to FORCE SCHANG at SECOND. Two down. On the first pitch of TY COBBS at bat, RYNO takes off for second, and BEATS PIAZZA�S throw for a stolen base)

: Still two out! No problem!

(TY COBB hits what should be an inning ending tapper to EDDIE COLLINS at SECOND BASE, but COCKY COCKS IT UP, and when the dust has settled COBB stands at first and RIPKEN has crossed the plate)

: Live by the lead gloved old players, die by the lead gloved old players.

(MENTHOLMOOSE grits his teeth)

: I�d be more forgiving if he was even hitting over .300.

(The FLUB by COLLINS brings up BABE RUTH. RUTH has hit just 1 HOME RUN in the last TWO MONTHS.)
: This would be a great time to get off the schnied, Babe!

(RUTH does not hit a home run. Or a double. But he does SINGLE TO RIGHT, scoring RYNO and putting the ROBO UMPS up 3-0)
: I gotta go take care of something.

(JUSTICE ALITO vanishes into the CONCOURSE as FRANK THOMAS finally ends the inning with a chopper to WADE BOGGS)

: I need to go check into this.

: But you�re going to miss my comeback victory!

(WADDELL works two quick outs, with BOGGS grounding to RYNO, and COCKY COLLINS striking out swinging. Then the WHEELS START TO COME OFF. JOE JACKSON had reached on a single, and a TRIS SPEAKER single and PUJOLS UNO walk load the bases for PUJOLS DOS)

: Alright! Bases juiced!

: Get Santana up in the bullpen, stat!

(WADDELL squeaks out of TROUBLE by getting PUJOLS DOS to POP UP to CAL RIPKEN. PUJOLS DOS takes his bat and CRACKS IT IN HALF OVER HIS KNEE, while PUJOLS UNO looks on with disappointment)

: Oh thank goodness. That could have been very bad.

(Both WADDELL and MCGINNITY hold serve over the MIDDLE INNINGS, allowing three hits between them)

: Well, our bullpen is good. So we should be OK now that we�re through seven.

: It�s not over yet.

(ELSEWHERE, behind the ROBO UMPS BULLPEN)

: Harriet, Douglas! You�ve done as I commanded?

: Absolutely boss!

: We�re going to be on the Supreme Court! At long last!

: I know! I can�t believe it.

: Only if that fool Roberts is forced out, and not before.

(The JUSTICE and two FAILED NOMINEES cavort, delighting in the top of the eighth inning as a CLEARLY UNSTEADY JOE SAMBITO comes into the game)

: Ok boys, now or never.

(The BOMBERS jump all over POOR JOE SAMBITO. JOE JACKSON leads off with a single down the left field line. EDDIE COLLINS, for some reason in a game where the BOMBERS are losing by three, sacrifices himself to move JACKSON to third- IMPROVING the ROBOUMPS chances of winning by 3%. But SPEAKER hits a HARD SHOT into left, scoring JACKSON. SPEAKER, running HARD OUT OF THE BOX, slides into SECOND with a HUSTLE DOUBLE)

: poo poo. Get K-Rod in there.

(As FRANCISCO RODRIGUEZ warms up, PUJOLS UNO walks, and PUJOLS DOS hits yet another single to make it a ONE RUN GAME)

(ELSEWHERE, ALITO and the FAILED NOMINEES are ecstatic)

: You spiked K-Rod�s gatorade too, right?

: Of course I did. Gave him the full Ginsburg.

: � That�s not what that means.

: Look, what else is named after me? I gotta take my wins where I can get them.

(K-ROD, also looking UNSTEADY, walks MIKE PIAZZA on FOUR PITCHES. The bases are DRUNK WITH BOMBERS as RUTH BADER GINSBURG returns to the other JUSTICES)

: Roberts, you�re going to want to see this.

: Not right now Ginsburg! It�s too tense!

(Visibly SWEATING and WOBBLY, K-ROD slips a FASTBALL past ERNIE BANKS for the second out.)

: Don�t let me down, Al Simmons!

(K-ROD comes set, and delivers. It�s wide.)

: Get up O�Day! Or Quisenberry! Or somebody!

(K-ROD stares in to SCHANG, and SHAKES HIM OFF)

: NO CHIEF JUSTICE!

: NO CHIEF JUSTICE!

(K-ROD shakes off SCHANG again)

: FOOLS! I WILL BE CHIEF JUSTICE!

(K-ROD DELIVERS. The crowd STANDS. SIMMONS, with no sense for the moment, GROUNDS OUT to FRANK THOMAS to end the inning)

: Goddamnit.

(Still, there�s one inning left. MCGINNITY puts the finishing touches on what could be a complete game loss thanks to EDDIE COLLINS, putting down ORTIZ, BRETT, and AARON in all in a row)

: K-Rod can�t possibly manage to escape again, he must be a mess!

(K-ROD strikes out BOGGS on a three-two fastball that PAINTS THE BLACK)

: Goddamnit, I�ll do it myself!

(JUSTICE ALITO removes a CELL PHONE from his pocket, and presses SPEED DIAL)

: Yes, this is Roberts. Put in Damaso Marte. No, my voice doesn�t sound odd to me. Look, just do it!

(K-ROD comes out having thrown ONE SCORELESS INNING, and DAMASO MARTE, only on the roster due to SEPTEMBER CALLUPS, jogs in)

: What the gently caress!

: I really need to tell you something, John.

: It can wait! We gotta fix this! Marte shouldn�t be pitching at all!

(ROBERTS is correct. MARTE really shouldn�t be pitching. He�s nowhere near the strike zone on any of his pitches to SHOELESS JOE, and JACKSON takes first on a four pitch walk.)

: Ahahahaha! I am the smartest and best of all of Leonard Leo�s creations!

(COLLINS steps to the plate again)

: All right, top of the order! Make up for your mistakes, Eddie!

(COLLINS squares around to GIVE HIMSELF UP)

: WHAT ARE-

: -YOU DOING?!

(COLLINS successfully sacrifices JACKSON to second base, and there�s now two out. A look of comprehension dawns on JUSTICE ROBERTS�S FACE)

: Oho. This is too rich. You set all of your sliders at zero, didn�t you Mentholmoose.

: I. What? Oh gently caress. That�s why Collins was bunting.

(Meanwhile, CAL RIPKEN JR. boots a grounder from TRIS SPEAKER, putting the tying run 90 feet from home)
: Now, if you�ll excuse me.

(ROBERTS raises a familiar model CELL PHONE to his ear)

: Put in Quiz.

(As DAN QUISENBERRY, most UNDERRATED RELIEVER OF ALL TIME, takes the mound, the crowd is RAUCUS)

: Don�t let me down Pujols.

(PUJOLS UNO watches the first 80 mile per hour fastball slink by for a strike. He SMILES.)

: No, no! Don�t do this.

(PUJOLS UNO watches the second 80 mile per hour fastball saunter past for strike two. His SMILE widens)

: Don�t pull a Casey, you galoot!

(QUIZ sets. The fans STAND. QUIZ delivers. The stadium is SILENT. PUJOLS UNO takes a MIGHTY CUT. The crowd ROARS. Mighty PUJOLS UNO has struck out. On a curveball.)

: It�s just calling balls and strikes.

(PANDEMONIUM ensues. The ROBOUMPS have won the division)

(Some time later, JUSTICE ROBERTS and JUSTICE GINSBURG are standing before a RUMPLED LOOKING JUSTICE ALITO)

: These are very serious allegations, Justice Ginsburg. Do you have any eye witness proof?

: Of course I do. I put a tail on Sammy here ages ago. Thurgood, would you care to join us?

(The GHOST OF JUSTICE THURGOOD MARSHALL apparates into the room)

: How pleasant to see you again, Justice Ginsburg.

: And you would swear and affirm under the pains and penalties of perjury that you saw Justice Alito knowingly attempt to materially damage the RoboUmps chances of survival?

: Yes, your honor. That would be my testimony.

: Well, that won�t be necessary. I believe you.

: So what are you going to do to me?

: Nothing.

: Nothing?!

: Of course. I wouldn�t endanger my 5-4 majority over something so trivial as treason. C�mon Sam, we need to discuss how we can stop mail in voting from �urban� areas this fall while having a patina of civility.

(JUSTICE ROBERTS and JUSTICE ALITO walk out, animatedly discussing how best to DISENFRANCHISE the poor and minorities)

: �

: Are you just going to let them get away with this?

: No.

: Then what are you going to do?

: Thurgood, it�s time to enact Plan WARREN COURT.

Ode To The Mets posted:

Gone now, are the old times

Forgotten, time to hold on the railing

The Rubik's Cube isn't solving for us

Old friends, long forgotten

The old ways at the bottom of

The ocean now has swallowed

The only thing that's left is us

So pardon the silence that you're hearing

It's turning into a deafening, painful, shameful roar.

Pash: Sep 10, 2009; The First of the Adorable Dead

Playoffs! Which means i need to reorganize the rotation.

Please set the rotation for the playoffs as follows:

SP1 Pedro Martinez (the one currently in LRP)
SP2 Randy Johnson
SP3 Pedro Martinez (the one Currently in SP1 slot)
SP4 Greg Maddux
Mop up Roger Clemens

LRP Stephen Strasburg

Rest of the Bullpen is fine as is.

Please clear any personal catcher settings.

As My SP1 is currently the next starter I assume (and intend) that these changes will make the Pedro moving into SP1 the starter of game 1 of the playoffs.

I only finished a game back of second and almost made .500. this may be the high point

I'm thinking the next iteration of this team I build will be mostly 19th century, that seems to work around here. I'll pick based on slref stats, what could go wrong

Yaya is the point leader, and because he can still receive the maximum amount of points...

:siren:

STILL IN IT :siren:

For a final picture of...

This is a Pick 'Em that is probably going to come down to whatever the FINALS match up is.

If the Misanthropes win it all - rabidsquid will probably win the Pick 'Em

If the Eazy W's win it all - HulkaMatt will probably win the Pick 'Em

If the Panderers win it all - CFBalla will probably win the Pick 'Em

If the Warriors win it all - Yaya will probably win the Pick 'Em

Other scenarios exist though, which can screw with these scores. Like the Mikes or Exiles going all the way. Or if for some reason I made a mistake that still hasn't been brought to my attention. I don't know.

BUT WE PROBABLY WON'T KNOW UNTIL THE FINALS!

Anyway, this has been your 2nd to last Pick 'Em update! The next one will literally just be announcing the winner!

SO UNTIL THEN, EVERYONE!!! SEE YA.

Pythag: 91-71. Robo-Umps' Pythag: 81-81. Just another reminder how important bullpen is. If Papelbon and Lee Smith didn't both completely implode right from the start of April, we probably sneak away with that division.

Ted Williams also gets his share of the blame. We don't deserve to win if Ted Williams is going to hit .283 with 13 HR.

Final note: wasted an all-time great season from Bobby Grich.

Pander: Oct 9, 2007; Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

And at the end of fear, oblivion.

I mean, great rate stats and all, but that's a pretty loose definition of a "season".
