I'll team with you, but I'd want to use your bullpen instead of your infield since your RPs are better than mine, is that okay?

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 XXX, Week 16: In Loving Memory of Rock Carnage


"So, to be clear, the source of the Super-League itself is located in this orb thing?" Jack McDowell said, staring at the glowing black and red object, which seemed to be pulsing like a heart, albeit, in no discernable rhythm.

"Indeed." Mark Bellhorn said.

"Is it supposed to be glowing red and flashing?" Jack McDowell said, eying the sphere warily.

"No, 'tis a sign of grave danger." Bellhorn answered. "All these works stand on the edge of a great calamity!"

"Okay, that's bad." McDowell walked around the orb, as if hoping that, from a different viewpoint, the red flashing light would look less ominous. "How do we fix it? Is this a sort of thing where we can unplug it, and then plug it back in?"

"Wait, didn't Bell-Bell-" Yoshida started.

"Bell-Bell?" McDowell stopped her. "What?"

"I think we should get new nicknames." Yoshida said. "Anyway, Bell-Bell said that the orb is the source of the universe, so if we reboot the orb, wouldn't we be erasing the entire Super-League in the process?"

"I don't know." McDowell said, staring that the orb. "Do we have an instruction manual?"

"If there is one, we'd have to go to the Great Library of the Super-League!" Yoshida said. "And you know what that means."

"Oh, right. The angry Englishman." McDowell said. "Has ginge ever considered supporting a soccer team that's actually good? He might be happier."

"That's not how things work in England." Adam Dunn said. "The people get really tied into their tiny little towns, no matter how decayed and sad they are. It's like high school football in Texas. It's bad, and sad, except, in England, instead of getting good barbecue after the game, you just get flavorless boiled meat and peas. Lots of peas. They love peas down in England, let me tell you."


"You see, CirclMastr, the key to the Super-League is acquiring as many Babes Ruth as possible." DannoMack explained. "That's about it."

"Is it really that simple?" CirclMastr asked. "I don't think it's that simple."

"EVERYONE STOP!" FairGame arrived in a flash of light. "I demand that everyone stop, because canon has been violated! As the Ombudsman of the Super-League, I am here to remind everyone that it has been established that CirclMastr cannot use the letter 'e' in his speech."

"But it makes things so hard." CirclMastr said.

"I believe you mean to say that 'it maks things so hard'" FairGame answered. "And whether it is hard or not, it's essentially to the continuity of the Super-League. And if we start tampering with that, who knows what could happen? We might even destroy the orb."

"The orb?" CirclMastr said, before noticing kw0134 staring at him. CirclMaster sighed, "Th orb?"

"Yes, the source of all that ever was, is, and might be in the Super-League." FairGame said. "So, obviously, it does not contain any championships for the World Warriors."

"I thought th orb was just a myth." CirclMastr said. "It's not real, I mean, it's not ral. Wait. No, I man, it's not ral."

"It's real enough." FairGame said. "I know that, as the Super-League is not tightly plotted like the works of Ernest Cline, you may find it hard to believe that there's any sort of mechanism holding it all together, but it's true."

"Well, I think-" DannoMack said, as Pander and JR Leap walked by, "Good Morning!" DannoMack nodded to Pander and JR Leap.

JR Leap stopped and stared DannoMack down, and then turned to Pander, "What even is this?"

"It's DannoMack, don't worry, he's harmless." Pander said. "Although he does experiment on animals."

"I sure do! But only their brains. You can learn a lot by cutting open the brains of animals and creating lesions on those brains." DannoMack said.

JR Leap shook with anger, "Pander, it's one thing for you to associate with nerds like," JR Leap gestured towards CirclMastr, "whatever that thing is."

"I'm CirclMastr. I'm running an LP where we take Pnurtis and-" CirclMastr tried to interject.

"Ahem." FairGame interrupted.

"Okay, I'm CirclMastr. I'm running an LP whr w tak Pnurtis and-" CirclMastr corrected himself.

"No, no." JR Leap silenced him, "Your talking is not part of this." JR Leap turned back to Pander, "Anyway, if you want to hang around with pathetic nerds like Cricket Master or whatever, that's one thing, but if you're spending time around people who hurt animals for fun-"

"It's also quite lucrative as well." DannoMack said.

"I am talking to my husband." JR Leap said, glaring at DannoMack, "Not you. Never you."

"I just wanted you to be aware that when I cut open the brains of mice and damage their brains, I'm doing it for a very important reason." DannoMack said. "There's a purpose to it. You can learn so much."

"What is this?" JR Leap said, irritated, "Pander, are you hanging out with serial killers? Because you know who hurts animals for fun? Serial killers. And I am not cool with that. I thought you said this was a baseball thing, not some sort of weird true crime thing."

Pander took a deep breath, "Now, honey, I think what DannoMack is trying to say, at least, I hope this is what he's trying to say, is that he's part of scientific experiments on animals. I don't think he's a serial killer."

"And the other one?" JR Leap asked.

"I mad a playr calld Flaccid Pnurtis." CirclMastr said.

"He," Pander paused, "Apparently made a player named Flaccid Pnurtis, which is apparently something that can be done, though, without knowing more, I have the feeling that it almost certainly should not have been done."

"Why can't he use the letter 'e'?" JR Leap asked.

"Canon." FairGame said. "We can't abandon canon."

"Pander!" JR Leap stared at her husband. "This is not acceptable! And, let's be clear, this isn't me as the nagging wife, this is me as the responsible partner telling you that you should not be spending your time associating with animal mutilators, weird people who don't use the letter 'e', which cannot be the sign of a mentally healthy person, and," she turned to FairGame, "Actually, you haven't done anything horrible yet."

"I'm a big fan of Ernest Cline." FairGame said. "Have you read Ready Player One? It's really an enjoyable book."

JR Leap threw up her hands. "That's much worse than mutilating animals!"


Games of the Week

Smasher Dynamo posted:


Hey gang,

So you might have noticed that the World Warriors got swept by the Garreg Mach Golden Deer of all teams. That seems inexplicable, until you realize that the series occurred immediately after yet another confrontation between Yaya and HulkaMatt before the series. Yaya had demanded an apology from HulkaMatt after HulkaMatt had repeatedly forgotten Yaya's name, and HulkaMatt appeared in Shadaloo to address the matter.

A transcript of the events that followed is below


Transcript posted:


YAYA: You got something to say to me, HulkaMatt?
HULKAMATT: Hey, hold on, one sec, one sec. One thing I do want to-
[HulkaMatt fiddles with a microphone, and asks for a different microphone, despite the first microphone being functional]
HULKAMATT: Does this work? Oh, this is much better. Hold on a second.
[HulkaMatt continues to fiddle, now with the new microphone]
HULKAMATT: Just let me test this out here.
[HulkaMatt fiddles with the microphone even more]
HULKAMATT: Well, Yaya, I guess I should, I guess I should really get what's on my chest off and I should be talking to you right now. You know, so I guess I should say it, well, face to face. So, Yaya, I can see you've been out here, and, you know, and you've been talking about the events that have transpired, and that has caused me to do a little, well, self-introspection if you will, and, hmm, what have I been doing? Did I have fun in the last tag team tournament? Did I have fun in the last tag team tournament? Well, absolutely I did. That's what I do, Yaya, I have fun! Now, relax a little bit, it's all in good fun here. But that's what I do in life, I have fun. You should too! Do I have fun sometimes at other's expenses? Yeah, I totally do. No problem, I have fun at other's expenses. But that's okay. You know, that's okay in my book as long as it benefits me. You know, and I'm not the only one who thinks like that. No, there's many other people who do as well. I can tell that you're not one of them, though. You know, it's okay, Yaya, just relax a little bit.
[Dead air]
HULKAMATT: Yaya, one thing...we have to get done.
[Dead air]
HULKAMATT: I don't know if I can talk to you about this.
YAYA: What are you doing out here, then? Why are we even out here?
HULKAMATT: I want to get stuff done and talk to you about other people's...Yaya, one thing I need to get done....is I need to come to an understanding with you. One thing, Yaya
[Dead air]
YAYA: You think I'm stupid out here. You think you want to come out here and make me look stupid, HulkaMatt?
HULKAMATT: Yaya, one of the things I would never, ever, ever, ever do is come out here, and make you look stupid. No, Yaya, never. I would never, ever do that. As a matter of fact, 'stupid', I find is an abhorrent word. Terrible word. I can tell, one of things, and you're pacing around and all upset about me and you know, quite frankly, Yaya, you know, one of the things you have in there, I can tell by your non-verbal cues that I guess you're quite upset with me. You know?
YAYA: Quit playing games with me, HulkaMatt!
HULKAMATT: I'm not trying to play games.
YAYA: You keep playing games, trying to puppet me around. Like I'm one of your little pets.
HULKAMATT: Again, going back, Yaya, never, ever want to make you feel stupid. I would never, ever say those words to you. Those are disgusting and cruel and abhorrent words. Abhorrent words. And, again, never would I make you feel like that. So, Yaya. There are a few others that you may say, or you may have heard, specifically in your life. You know, such as, well, "stupid is as stupid does" or "you fell out of the stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down" or just, quite simply, "this guy is so stupid." Now, Yaya, again, that's not me saying those things and that does maybe dovetails into a bit of a stereotype you know, the dumb canuck. You know, like all Canucks fans. But Yaya, hear me out on one thing, again, never, have I ever specifically called you stupid. Would I? Y-y-y-yaya?
[HulkaMatt flees]
YAYA: You think this is a game, HulkaMatt? You think you're going to embarrass me in the Super-League? Who the hell do you think you are?


Smasher Dynamo posted:


Rough stuff, I know.

And, as a result, Yaya was so shaken that the Warriors immediately dropped three straight games to the Golden Deer.

drat that HulkaMatt! He's living rent-free in Yaya's head!





Retain.




Retain.



So, let me get this straight. The Bombers lost of a walk-off home to George Davis? A deadball middle infielder?

Dismal. Just dismal.



Unless JR Leap is trying to emulate the early-'90s Pirates, and I have no idea why one would be doing that, I have no idea why Stan Belinda is the closer for this team...

...Actually, now that I have taken a look at their pitching staff, I have no idea why Pander pulled together a bullpen this bad. JR Leap, if you're reading this, and admittedly, that is not a likely scenario, you should go to your husband, right now, stare him dead in the eyes, and demand to know why he has failed you so badly in terms of assembling a reasonable bullpen. Oh, he'll try to give an excuse, that's his way, after all, but you need to stand your ground and slowly shake your head to make your displeasure known.



Now you see, CattMarp, you see what can be done when you cast off your fell allegiances. You cast off Adam Wainwright, and behold your reward! But you must now take the next step. For the Misanthropes to heal, to truly regain their greatness, you must cast off your Cardinals fandom! Throw away these chains of damnation and embrace your true destiny! Greatness can still await you!



All three of the Generics' relievers that pitched in this game managed to give up a run. That's a certain amount of consistency, at least.



The Goats' bullpen did lose the game, but they did the best they could. Seven innings and allowing just one run is pretty loving good, it's just that they couldn't hold on forever. Even more amazingly, the Goats' bullpen went seven innings without getting a single strikeout. Granted, the Panderers don't have a lot of players that strike out a ton, but it's not as though they never strike out. It's kind of amazing, really.

You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and be a llama?





send down willie hernandez, call up the new chris sale to take his place at SR. Replace the injured paul waner in RF in both lineups with Shoeless joe jackson.

JUST PICK ONE. ANY ONE.
I'm pretty sure HulkaMatt has called Yaya stupid multiple times in the SL.

In addition to Cabrera at 1B, please put Ripken at SS, Shoeless Joe Jackson at CF, Flaccid Pnurtis at LF, and... I'm out of infielders so I guess Kell can be at 2B for a week. I just want my sore players to not die. I think dropping 6 games now is better than dropping 20 when everyone is injured.

I'm gonna call up Joe Kelley for Manny Ramirez. Just in case.

God, I miss the all-star break. Everyone is sore!


Hamilton moves to CF
Keeler moves to RF
Merciless moves to DH

Move to a 10-man pitching staff, promoting Kiki Cuyler to the active roster.

Bullpen is now Soria/Syndergaard/Shantz/Greinke/Patterson :gonk:

Looks good. Thanks for writing it up. Might want to replace Kaat with one of my actually decent pitchers given that we have the freedom.

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."
We're doing the break after the Week 17 updates.
