Eternal Commissioner of the Super League. A new avatar. A new age, of the same old embittered Smasher that failed to escape the bonds of the SL, FM3, Johnny Hopp and Eri Yoshida "The Knuckle Princess". "The flames of Smasher's ire scorch the skies... Igniting St. Bellhorn's funeral pyre."



Super-League XXVIII, Smasher League Divisional Series: The Hague Honkbalers vs. Akabira Killer Mikes


: Well, Smasher, looks like today-
: Yoshida, say no more! I happen to have a press release from the Killer Mikes' PR Department that will take care of this update for us!


Press Release posted:

Akabira Killer Mikes Celebrate their Sweep of the Hague Honkbalers
Reigning Smasher League Champions easily dispatch Wildcard Winner

Akabira - Today, the Akabira Killer Mikes, the reigning Smasher League and Mark Bellhorn Division Champions, completed their three game sweep of the Hague Honkbalers. Coming into the playoffs with home-field advantage, the Killer Mikes wasted no time in annihilating the Honkbalers, picking up two quick wins in Akabira before finishing their foes off in the Hague in the third game.

Of the team's recent playoff success, team owner tatankatonk said, "Once again reaching the semi-finals is an achievement for this team. Granted, this series win was over the Honkbalers, a team that has never accomplished anything, and who we thrashed repeatedly during the course of the regular season. Of course, we can only play the games scheduled for us, and while I am confident that we could have defeated the Panderers had they advanced to this series, I am still pleased that we were able to prove that mks5000 is an unremarkable owner of an unremarkable team."

Studies have shown that teams that perform better in the regular season are more likely to achieve success in the postseason, with leading statisticians agreeing that there is a correlation between winning percentage in the regular season and winning percentage in the playoffs.

Analysts have also pointed to the hiring of Tybalt as the Killer Mikes' Advokitten as being key to their success, as Tybalt's prudent and effective messaging has enabled the Killer Mikes to reach new levels of fan engagement, as well as distracting the masses from the fact that the Killer Mikes' stadium is the only one in which the park factors are manually inputted, thereby breaking the normal relationship between park conditions and park factors. Fortunately, thanks to Tybalt, none of the fools in the Super-League have yet to appreciate this fact, and Tybalt feels confident in saying that, in fact, that will continue to be the case despite the fact the nature of the Killer Mikes' stadium has now been stated publicly as, in fact, no one reads the playoff updates.

To win this series, the Akabira Killer Mikes planned and executed the following tactics.

-Scoring more runs than the opposition
-Allowing fewer runs than the opposition
-Not being mks5000

About Akabira Killer Mikes: The Akabira Killer Mikes are a Super-League team based in Akabira, Hokkaido, Japan. The Killer Mikes have perfected a form of baseball that relies on the disruption of the basic laws of physics in their own stadium, which allows them to crush and demoralize their opponents. The Akabira Killer Mikes reached the Super-League Finals last season, and currently hold home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.






: But Smasher, we can't abdicate our responsibilities like this!
: Yoshida, people always tell me to be more positive, and I'm going to try. I think, if I believe hard enough, I can make it happen! Let's see....UPDATE END NOW!

Sub-Par 16: THE GAUNTLET, ROUND 1!

Hey now. Somehow I hosed up and now I'm running the Gauntlet. Yaya was going to outright murder everyone who didn't submit a roster, but he also wanted to do two survivors, sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...anyway I figured out how to do this. If you did NOT submit a roster, I will scrape one together based on your initial season roster and draft picks. I will also input your stadium/city if you specified it. If you gave me a roster I will also set your lineups and slider strategies. That could be a huge difference! Or it could not. I dunno. Anyway.





Well then.






"Thank you for stopping by Buc-ee's! This location did not provide the service that we at the Buc-ee's family believe is critical to our company's success so it will be shut down at the end of the season. We apologize for any inconvenience but appreciate your patronage and hope that you will continue to shop at other Buc-ee's locations in the future!"





I don't know if the roster settings were what pushed you over the top, but it didn't hurt. Maybe specify a stadium next time though. Your choice!





Once again I cobble something together and once again this damnable bird keeps living. WHY?!?





"And so the Sultana, having spent over nine months inexplicably burning on the banks of the Mississippi, finally at long last, crumbled into the ashes it was destined for after its boiler explosion. Naught remains." [Insert folksy harmonica tune as camera pans over a scorched section of reeds]

Super-League XXVIII, Dynamo League Divisional Series: Raleigh Red Pandas vs. World Warriors


: One-half of the Semi-Final bracket is set as we know it will be the South Bolton Eazy W's, Team Eternal of the Super-League against the Akabira Killer Mikes. But we still need to reduce the four teams left standing in the Dynamo League down to just two.
: That's right! Today, it's effectively the Sic Transit Vir Division finals, as the Warriors and Red Pandas will meet for one last series to determine which is the real champion.




: The following contest, scheduled for the best three out of five games, is a Dynamo League Divisional Series. Introducing first, the wildcard winner, from Raleigh, North Carolina, they have risen from the depths and now stand just three more wins from the Dynamo League Championship Series, the Raleigh Red Pandas!



: And their opponents, the Sic Transit Vir Division Champions of Super-League XXVIII, they are the former five-time, five-time, five-time, five-time, five time Super-League Tag Team Champions of the World, and the reigning and defending Grand Slam Championships holder. From Shadaloo, Thailand, the World Warriors!


Game 1: Raleigh Red Pandas @ World Warriors (Series Tied 0-0)



: Good win for the Red Pandas, they just bodied Madison Bumgarner, and take back home-field advantage in the series.
: But wait! This is Super-League XXVIII, surely EYB should apply to Madison Bumgarner?
: That hasn't been true since the Cubs' chief warlock made a pact to ensure victory in 2016, at the cost of...that was not a good trade, looking back at it.


Game 2: Raleigh Red Pandas @ World Warriors (RED Leads 1-0)



: No easy wins for the Red Pandas, as the Warriors strike back, and hard.
: The Warriors were the best team in the Dynamo League in the regular season, it makes sense that it would be hard to beat them twice in a row at home.


Game 3: World Warriors @ Raleigh Red Pandas (Series Tied 1-1)



: An absolutely crucial win for the Red Pandas, as they move just one game from winning the series, with Game 4 in Raleigh and the People's Lefty on the mound.
: They did what they had to, they manufactured a run in the eighth on just one hit in the inning. Both the Warriors and Red Pandas did a lot of smallball this season, comparatively speaking, and the Red Pandas came through when they needed it most. The Warriors, just to stay alive, will now have to beat the People's Lefty, the best pitcher in the Super-League, on the road.


Game 4: World Warriors @ Raleigh Red Pandas (RED Leads 2-1)



: WHAT A REVERSAL! The Red Pandas lead 1-0 before their defense makes not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, but seven errors, and that costs them the game, and forces a game five in Shadaloo!
: You wonder if the Red Pandas can recover from this, they had the series won, and then they just fell apart in the most painful way imaginable. Seven errors! That's a lot!


Game 5: Raleigh Red Pandas @ World Warriors (Series Tied 2-2)



: The Warriors smell blood, and they don't let the Red Pandas off the hook. They don't trail for a single inning, as they win the series 6-4.
: A brutal end to a great season for the Red Pandas. They fought to the bitter end.


: And that leaves just one divisional series left, the Misanthropes against the X-Men. And remember, if the Misanthropes lose, CFBalla must retire!
: Wait, really?
: Well, no, but he really shouldn't losing this series.

Super-League XXVIII, Dynamo League Divisional Series: Orion X-Men vs. Los Angeles Misanthropes

: You know, in Europe, they don't even have playoffs! Whoever wins the regular season just wins!
: What about the Champions League? And League Cups?
: ...drat it.



: The following contest is a Dynamo League Divisional Series, scheduled for the best three out of five games. Introducing first, the winners of the Vae Victis Division...somehow, they are, wait, they only won 76 games in the regular season? Did the regular season get shortened? What the gently caress happened? Anyway, it's the Orion X-Men!
: Smasher, I don't think that's the right-
: Hold on, just let me get through this first, and then I'll deal with it.



: And their opponents, they are the three-time, three-time, three-time reigning Memento Mori Division Champions, and one-half of the Super-League Tag Team Champions of the world, owned by Dr. CattMarp, M.D., the Los Angeles Misanthropes!

: "Oriath"?
: Yeppers!
: I...yeppers?.."Oriath" isn't even a word!
: I think it's from a video game.
: What video game? I'm looking at that logo, and it could be cover art from any video game ever made in human history. It has no defining characteristics whatsover. Like, remember that game "Phalanx" for the Super Nintendo, which had an old dude playing a banjo on its cover, despite the fact that it was just another space shooter? This is the opposite of that, in that I look at it, and it could fit into just about any game, because there's nothing there!
: You seem angrier than usual. Although, it is kind of hard to tell.
: Yoshida, do you know what a team winning 76 games-
: I think the Exiles won 77.
: Okay, great. But if a team is making the playoffs with 77 wins, it means the divisions are way loving unbalanced, and one of the few things that is absolutely my responsibility is making sure that the divisions are at least theoretically sane, and obviously, given that a team won that division with 77 wins, I hosed up. And that bothers me.
: Should we get to the series?
: I wouldn't call what occurred a series.






: Not everything needs extensive commentary.

There is no life without death, and what a better way to die than to die burning out in glory.

The World Warriors accept the Macho Men challenge

Pitching is the art of instilling fear.

I think my line-up is already set to do the best it will against the pitching the Warriors have, so

Rotation:
SP1: Pete Alexander
SP2: George Bradley
SP3: Fred Goldsmith
SP4: Bob Caruthers
Mop-up: Babe Adams
CL: Chelsea Baker
SU: Kenley Jansen
SR: Adam Wainwright
SR: Dan Plesac
MR: Dean Chance
LR: Cy Young

Bob Caruthers, I know your stock went down when we switched to DH, but win a game for the memory of the Red Panda's owner, TFLlama.

Sub-Par 16: THE GAUNTLET, ROUND 3!

This is it, the mid-way point of the Gauntlet. The opposition gets harder. The fiddling with settings gets more annoying. No more half-absent owners to whom I can load up a CSV and hit the "sort all" button and call it good (fine i did that for the senadores, sue me). Will the good guys (there are no good guys) prevail???



Oh! Oh, most interesting. Well, now you know why we go to the head-to-head right after these standings right?



AND THE OTTERS PULL IT OFF AGAIN! UNBELIEVABLE!





Perhaps a team which takes it draft picks would do better next time.





And so the Sprite Knights fall. Insert coin to continue next season.





Critically endangered, but not yet extinct.





Winning by default!
