The Tacos have gained +10% in offense to a team that was 1st in its division hitting wise and is getting rid of the fourth base. Yet, our pitching staff is Peanut Bong and Sexton Wheerer. Taco Games will never end

4th Ball not 4th Base. They walk on 3 balls but still have to travel all 3 bases + home plate like normal.

The good news is that Black Hole will make the other team lose too

I meant this previous season they had to play with four bases on offense, really held their scoring down. Now, they're back to normal, along with getting 3 pitch walks.

Kid, don't threaten me. There are worse things than death, and uh, I can do all of them.
Discord Philly Pie chat is like: god drat it we do good enough to get hosed by bloodrain and make the playoffs, but not good enough to get anywhere in playoffs, and we get nothing inbetween seasons

and all the philly actual sports fans are like: welcome to Philadelphia!

It still boggles me how seriously some people take this. I agree it sucks to not get any blessings and have bad stuff happen to us (people are real mad we didn't get JT/Peanut Halloway? back, and also got nobody), but like JT was never gonna stick around we were just lucky to dodge all the blessings that would have targeted her. And at least we have 2 in the bag, other teams really really have had nothing.

FWIW, we've been seeing Pies fans amongst the Crabs refugees shopping for new teams because other Pies fans are just so negative on Discord.

Yeah, most fans of most teams are pretty chill when things aren't going their way and I'm grateful for it. I love being a Lovers fan, we're not bad but we're not amazing either but still do stuff like mass fluting over to the Magic to help them secure a blessing

Oh hey fellow Pie Fans! Yeah, I basically completely bounced off of the Discord as the base grew and there were just more and more people taking it way too seriously. I still check the weekly voting spreads and say hi sometimes but I hope we ascend sometime soon so I can move on. It's fine to have an "ah poo poo" reaction to coordinating everyone's voting efforts only to get nothing, but people hold onto that for the entire week and still can't get over Jessica Telephone. I also think a lot of Pies fans forget avoiding bad things during the election is a positive too.

The shoe thieves are pretty nice and friendly if you’re feeling abandoned. I did briefly leave them when the lift appeared, but went back because everyone is so friendly and chill and happy when our team does good or bad. We basically lost zero fans when we got cursed.

Moist Talkers picked up a few people last week, not sure if it was people new to blaseball or just piling on because we were leading the league for a while, but they haven't caused trouble so no complaints here.

Our discord is real chill because nobody really takes things seriously and those that do don't last long. If the team is doing well we cheer for them, and the seasons where they're not doing well we just get up to antics.

I'm interested to see what happens when 10 runs are scored with "Black Hole" weather. Right now I think both examples were "Sun 2".

It happened, the opposing team lost a Win from their record.

Tacos have fired off in both of their games already but they're 1-2 now lmao. They played the Flowers both games who are currently 1-0.

It just don't stop.



Excited for the Crabs to have ascended (joined them mostly just because of physical proximity) but now that they're not in the ILB, I'm with the Firefighters (because of the Chiclawgo alliance).

If the Slagheaps ever come out of the underleagues, I'd probably join there, but whatever; I'm mostly just here to see the madness unfold. The discord just has so much going on, and I don't like it. As an aging millennial (thought about supporting the Millennials, actually), I just like slow, chill message boards.

Tacos in line for the first ever doublewin, they had 10 runs swallowed by the sun and just hit a homer to go up 4-1 in the 8th!

e: Yes! Their record through 3 games is now 3-2
