TAG BREAK!

Super-League XXIX, Week 16: Hyper-Ultra Tension

BONUS WORDS! posted:

"What?" kw0134 asked.

"I was wondering if you had helped me forge a will a few years ago." mks5000 asked.

"Did I help you forge a will?" kw0134 said, in disbelief. "First of all, I'm not a probate attorney, which, oddly, is something I have to keep telling people. Second, I don't routinely alter wills, since that's a violation of both professional ethics and the law. Third, if I did violate the law and professional ethics, I'm certainly not going to tell you of all people about it, which leads me to the final issue, which is that, even if I were going to commit that sort of crime, I definitely, and I cannot stress this enough, because it's very, very important, I would not do it to help you of all people."

"Why not?" mks5000 seemed almost amused. "I'm a great person."

"You literally came into my office and told me that you had just been threatened by the son of a man you had betrayed and your problem wasn't so much that you felt you were being wrongly accused, but that you didn't remember which particular person he was referring to, because apparently you had betrayed so many people that they all run together." kw0134 answered. "Does that sound like someone I would want to help? That's the sort of person that gets a lawyer's license taken away."

"Regardless, I need to find out more information about this IceMole. Usually, sons take after fathers, so I figure whatever I did to ice IceMole, if you'll pardon the wordplay." mks5000 chuckled to himself as kw0134 sighed in frustration, "Could probably be used to take out his son as well. And then they can be reunited in hell."

"Is that supposed to convince me to help you? So that you can kill the son of the man who you already killed?" kw0134 asked.

"I just need you to tell me if you ever helped me forge a will. Don't get all judgmental on me. I did nothing wrong." mks5000 said.

"Forging a will is something wrong!" kw0134 said, losing patience, "And I never helped you forge a will!"

"I see. Then, do you know who did?" mks5000 asked.

kw0134 sighed, "Well, there is one lead, I guess," kw0134 opened a nearby drawer and looked through the files before pulling out a folder, "Here are the new applications for the Expansion Class, most of them are retreads. FairGame, Deadford, the Goog, and so on. But there was one that was interesting." kw0134 gave the folder to mks5000.

mks5000 glanced through it, "Moleboy? drat, I thought when IceMole swore that his Moleboy would avenge him when I was ripping out his corneas to sell on the black market, that he was, I don't know, being metaphorical or something."

"I don't understand how that would be a metaphor." kw0134 said.

"It doesn't matter. The point is, if I can somehow prevent enough teams from signing up for the EC, and get the EC canceled, that would solve everything! And I know just how to do it..."

CATTMARP GIVES GRIM TAG TEAM WARNING AFTER TAKING INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE WITH 5-4 WIN

Los Angeles- To say it was a brutal end for the Red Pandas' tag team run hardly does it justice.

Having lost the first two games of the series, the Red Pandas had to win the third game to keep their Intercontinental Title, and, for a while at least, played with the right sense of urgency, taking a quick 4-0 lead. But the Misanthropes, as relentless a team as there is in the Super-League, systematically chipped away at that advantage, and, by the bottom of the ninth, the score was 4-3.

Needing the save, TFLlama turned to Jonathan Papelbon, who immediately gave up a double to Frankie Frisch on the first pitch of the inning, and then hit Willie Keeler to put two runners on with no outs. That was not an ideal situation, but he managed to dig himself out of the hole by inducing a double play from John McGraw. That did leave the tying run at third, but it also meant that Papelbon needed just one out to end the game and secure the title. One out was all he needed.

A peal of thunder was heard throughout the stadium as the Masked Shortstop swung in from the upper deck, flying through the air via grappling hook and rope before dropping to the batter's box, his cape fluttering in the wind behind. Behind his mask, no doubt there was an expression of determination, of resolve, that spread across his features, but to the outside world, his face appeared as blank as ever, covered by the black and gold cloth that obscured his identity. Jonathan Papelbon tried to pay the Masked Shortstop's unearthly aura no heed, and pitched to him as though he were any other middle reliever, challenging him with a fastball. With a sharp stroke of the bat, the Masked Shortstop struck the ball to deep left field, easily scoring the tying run. That Papelbon allowed no further damage was almost beyond the point. The game would continue, and the momentum was with the Misanthropes.

The Red Pandas, however, were not finished. With one last great exertion, they managed to load the bases in the bottom of the tenth, getting Nap Lajoie, a contact hitter par excellence at the plate. Though there were two outs, that hardly seemed to matter, if Nap Lajoie could hit the ball fairly, the Red Pandas would once more have the lead. Lajoie lashed out at the first pitch he saw, and hit it foul. No matter, the Red Pandas must have thought, but as the ball flew towards foul ground, the Masked Shortstop seemed to materialize out of thin air to grab the ball from the air, getting the final out of the inning and send the game, still tied 4-4, into the bottom of the tenth.

TFLlama elected to stick with Papelbon to start the bottom of the inning. Perhaps that could be second-guessed in theory, but Papelbon rose to the task, as, though he allowed a Lou Whitaker double to start the inning, he then got two quick outs. Still, TFLlama, leery of Papelbon after his performance in the previous inning, and seeing Papelbon's fastball velocity drop, summoned Robb Nen from the bullpen to get the final out of the inning. Frankie Frisch greeted him with a sharp grounder to third base that could have ended the inning, but for George Brett being a step too slow, allowing Frisch to reach first with an infield single. That brought up Willie Keeler, who took a walk to load the bases. Nen, clearly rattled, tried to regain focus, but on a 3-1 pitch to John McGraw, lost his grip, allowing the ball to sail wide, walking McGraw and forcing in the winning run for the Misanthropes.

"With all due respect to TFLlama," CattMarp said after the game, "The belt looks better with me." He held up both his Intercontinental and Tag Team Championship Belts, "Speaking of which, the time has come for the tag team tournament. I know that there are a lot of people who really want to take the title from myself and HulkaMatt, but, and I say this as a doctor, hoping for the impossible is bad for your mental health. The Burnt Doritos are the most dominant tag team champions in Super-League history. That's simply the reality of the situation. I've looked at the tag teams that are out there, and I just don't think any of them have it. They just don't have what it takes to beat the Burnt Doritos."

"Now." CattMarp shook his head, "I know that there's some hype for Goku, the team of the World Warriors and the Khartoum Doom. And I get it. You have two guys who used to be, a very long time ago, tag team champions with other partners, and you figure they might be tag team specialists, and so might be able to beat the Burnt Doritos. But, and I'm just going to be brutally honest here, we're talking about a fourth-place team and a third-place team. There's a decent chance that both of these teams get dumped into the Sub-Par League at the end of the season. On the other hand, you have the Burnt Doritos. Through Week 16, there are two teams, and only two teams, that already have at least 60 wins. They are the Los Angeles Misanthropes and the Kobe Crows. We are the best teams in the regular season, we are already the defending tag team champions. Don't set yourselves up for failure. The Burnt Doritos are here, and we're here to stay."

As for TFLlama, his comments were more succinct. "gently caress!" He screamed at the top of his lungs. "gently caress! gently caress! gently caress!"

GAME NOTES

-Given that the Misanthropes were much more effective at actually getting men on base, the Red Pandas were lucky to only lose by a run.

-Chelsea Baker was not available for the game due to what was only described as, "a butchery accident." Further details were not forthcoming.

-The Misanthropes struck out 13 times. The Red Pandas didn't strike out even once. Strikeouts aren't everything, dudes.

CRAIG KIMBREL'S TRIBUTE TO THE THREE OUTCOMES GOES DISASTROUSLY WRONG AS W'S WIN 4-2

Bolton- To be clear, you can't blame this loss on the Government Dogs' defense.

Indeed, in the critical inning, the bottom of the ninth, the defense didn't even have a chance to touch the ball. Instead, Craig Kimbrel took matters into his own hands.

Up 2-1, the Government Dogs likely had some hopes that Craig Kimbrel would be able to shut the W's down, and give them the win, and a chance to take the W's Omni-Titles. In retrospect, it's not entirely clear why one would have that much confidence in Kimbrel. After all, the W's have a lot of left-handed hitters, and there is a frightenly short fence in right field that had already been exploited by Babe Ruth in the previous home run for a cheap home run.

Still, the inning started out well, as, in just seven pitches, Craig Kimbrel struck out both Duke Snider and Joe Cronin, putting the Dogs just one out away from victory. That brought up Lou Whitaker, who battled his way to a walk. Even still, that just put the tying run at first base, the situation was tense, but manageable. Stan Musial then took a four-pitch walk as Kimbrel was clearly trying to work around the dangerous, if elderly, left-handed hitter to bring up Frank Thomas.

That, to be fair, made all the sense in the world. Kimbrel just needed one out, and while the right field fence in the Coliseum was extraordinarily short, the left field fence was far, far more distant. Unless Kimbrel really screwed and allowed an opposite field shot to the Big Hurt, Thomas was more likely to hit a long fly ball than a dinger. Unfortunately, Kimbrel then proceeded to really screw up, and allowed exactly that sort of opposite field home run, giving the W's a walkoff win.

Pash delayed the post-game press conference slightly, as he insisted on filling out his paperwork before talking to the press. "I'm sorry, but I really can't concentrate on the post-game until I make sure all of these forms are in order. I remember that one time, I forgot to properly fill them out, and I'm pretty sure that's why my team got demoted, and I can't have that happen again. I won't. I will do all my paperwork. Like a good government dog. Because government dogs are our friends." The reporters then backed away from Pash slowly.

As for the W's, Jack McDowell, who pitched well, though he did not get the win, announced a new alliance on behalf of the W's. "As you know, there have been some people who have been criticizing the W's for not dying, which seems kind of weird, but whatever. Still, given the circumstances, we thought it would be good to get someone in our corner, and that is why I'm proud to say that, as of today, the South Bolton Eazy W's have formed a strategic partnership with the Marquisate of Evermark, which apparently is a small sovereign state, located in..." McDowell consulted a notecard, "...the North. Huh, that's oddly vague. Anyway, Marquis Roderic has agreed to give the W's additional magical support in exchange for our help in apprehending someone or something called "Storg". Now, I don't know what this "Storg" is, and Roderic only said that I would know Storg when I saw it. Which is also vague. Either way, if there's one thing I think the W's really needed to get to the next level, it's the help of a mysterious nobleman with vague magical powers. Wait, hold on, let me show you something."

McDowell gestured off stage, and a large deer that seemed to glow with a soft golden light entered the room. The deer had four polychromatic eyes and antlers that appeared to be made of silver. With every breath, an iridescent mist seemed to waft from its nostrils. "Now, this is Hartley, she's affiliated with the Marquis, somehow, and her breath can turn you into glass. So, be careful. I don't know where Roderic got a magic deer, apparently the deer may be the herald of the apocalypse, Roderic was vague on that point, but we have a deer."

A hand shot up in the audience. McDowell acknowledged it, and the reporter, who was clearly a poorly-disguised Eri Yoshida, bounced to her feet, "I'm Terri Goshida from the New Bolton Times, and I think the question on everyone's mind is whether or not you can ride the deer. And also can the W's closer ride the deer when she comes in from the bullpen from now on? Keeping in mind that the W's closer, who is really have a good season and trying her best, did get the win in today's game."

"Yoshida, why are you wearing a disguise?" McDowell asked.

"Ah, right." Yoshida took over her Press hat, "It's part of my strategy as a Girl Detective to discover what was with that Mazda 626 we found in our parking lot, but I got distracted once I found out that we have a magic deer. And I do think that the question on everyone's mind is whether I get to ride it or not."

"The deer's breath turns things into glass. I'm pretty sure that includes people." McDowell said.

"It's a risk I'm willing to take!" Yoshida ran onto the stage and jumped on Hartley, who was startled enough to let out a deep breath that turned the stage in front of her into, as had been promised, clear glass. "Neat!" Yoshida said. "Now, Hartley, forward!" She urged Hartley on, causing the deer to shoot forward, rending several reporters who were in Hartley's path.

"That's going to be trouble." McDowell said, looking on with concern.

GAME NOTES

-THE THREE TRUE OUTCOMES OF CRAIG KIMBREL!

The Generics make it look so loving hard, but they will hold onto the titles until after the break at least.

I still think the Killer Mikes should win their division, but we're rapidly reaching the point where that thought is changing from "realistic" to "hallucinatory".

Sub-Par League X-Seven: Week 16: I'm Out of Final Fantasy Titles I Was Hoping They'd Announce A New One Before This Update Happened

Eagle Creek posted:

Hank Hill sighed, then said �Now Bobby, what did we learn about sellin� propane to wild animals?�

Bobby screwed up his face, thinking. �That we shouldn�t, because they don�t have opposible thumbs and can�t use propane?�

�So why in tarnation did you sell all that propane to that animal?�

�Because they had opposible thumbs, dad! They can use the propane! Why aren�t you happy that I made a sale?�

Hank sighed again, then paused.

�Wait just a God dang moment. They had opposible thumbs?�

�Well, yeah. Otherwise I wouldn�t have sold it to them.�

�Now listen real careful, son. Exactly what type of animal did you sell those industrial sized storage tanks to? An ape, maybe?�

�I don�t know animals! He looked like Tom Nook, though.�

�Dang it, Bobby, who in the world is Tom Nook?�

�You know, from Animal Crossing. He�s a capitalist raccoon.�

A shiver ran down Hank�s spine. There�s no way, it couldn�t possibly be Pander. He was in the Super League, he couldn�t come down here, not on pain of Smasher. But if there was one being that could be trusted to go too far in their machinations� it would be Pander.

�We need to go, Bobby. Right now.�

A new voice rang out. �I don�t think so, Mr. Hill.� JR Leap slunk from the shadows like a bad mood. �After all, I can�t have you returning to the Super League with what you�ve figured out.�

Gritty City posted:

�STAND YOUR GROUND, MEN!� Shepard thundered, as the Chosen swept across the horizon, one orange furred, wild eyed mascot after another. �STAND YOUR GROUND!� The students of the Golden Deer school steeled themselves, and then battle was met.

Beet feared from the first that they�d be overwhelmed by the nightmarish musings of a marketing team, and he soon was given proof that he had been right to do so. First down was Ignatz, who�s muscles were no match when four Gritties pulled him apart, eyes rattling around as they did so. Then fell Lysithea, heir of House Ordelia, caught out in the open even as she razed vast swathes of Gritty became ash to her magic. Lorenz died, his lance weighed down by the bodies of those he�d slain, overcome by the mass of fur, skate blades, and carbon fiber sticks.

Such were the losses of the Golden Deer that day that Shepard realized he would need to save scum.

Meanwhile, away from the stands, the Golden Deer stormed from behind to top the Chosen 10-5, with a John Olerud grand slam off Craig Kimbrel salting away the victory in the top of the ninth. The away fans would have cheered, if any had survived.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia posted:

Beet fumed. It was one thing to scuffle against the likes of Shepard and a former Super League club like the propane. But to be four games back of the Limes of Harry Lime? Unacceptable! Was he not Beet, of the Somali Pirates? Was he not Beet, of the Sindhi Sheiks? Who were these upjumped Limes anyways? One way or another, he was determined to find out. All he had to do was listen to 52 radio plays from the 1950s.

Ed Rinke Memorial Stadium posted:

Cbx knew his time was short. He had to warn Smasher! After all, he was the assistant of the Super League! It even said so in his avatar! He moved quickly through the halls of Ed Rinke Memorial Stadium, sure that he could at least get his message away.

Then the lights went out. Literally.

Cbx dropped into a hunch, waiting for his eyes to adjust to the dimness of the concourse. He knew this place better than anyone else, even in the dark. He would complete his mission.

He felt a tap on his shoulder, and shrieked.

�Oh, I didn�t mean to startle you...� said JR Leap.

Cbx laughed nervously, �not a problem, sorry. I was just expecting.�

JR Leap smiled, flashing vicious rodent canines.

�...I did mean to find and kill you though� JR Leap added, eagerly washing her paws.

Cbx shrieked again, and then the lights went out, metaphorically.

Clown Fundamentals: Mar 18, 2018; President and GM of YOUR Camden Buzzsaw

Moleboy posted:

Clown Fundamentals and I will be teaming up as How far can dub Ruth carry? pending Clown Fundamentals approval of the name.

I prefer either the Philadelphia Phillers or Two Ruths And A Lie, but it's ultimately your choice.

Despair will never let you down.
Malice will never disappoint you.

There's probably a better pick here, but whatever. Give me 1950 Jackie Robinson.
