 Hey people with an upcoming draft pick. Want to improve your bullpen but do not want to have to draft noted terrible human Mike Stanton? I have a 1972 Sparky Lyle for sale for your draft pick and a low quality depth guy. He is a closer quality dude, so you should probably want him!

No hope!: And the Pessimists will complete the sweep, and that's pretty drat good. : Why must you break my heart (probably), Aaron Rodgers, why?Team Statistics      DC Comic from the '90s that your team most resembles  Eclipso was a book starring a minor villain, Eclipso, who wandered around the world doing bad things. A group of heroes, who felt like that really shouldn't be allowed, banded together to stop them. So Eclipso murdered every last one of them. That's one hell of a downer ending.      DC Comic from the '90s that your team most resembles  The '90s version of Aquaman proves that just because you give someone a hook hand and a beard will not make them a compelling character. And no matter how hard you try, no matter how good the writer, Aquaman is still going to be Aquaman. Some things will never change.      DC Comic from the '90s that your team most resembles  Marv Wolfman revolutionized DC Comics when he started writing New Teen Titans in 1980. Fifteen years later, though, he was way out of ideas, and just started desperately trying to find a cast of characters that could buy his faltering comic just a little more time. In the first of half of the '90s, Wolfman completely revamped this comic twice, and each time made things much, much worse, to the point where, by the end, the Teen Titans featured characters like Damage and Minion. Not even he could keep his finest creation going forever.      DC Comic from the '90s that your team most resembles  Justice League America (no 'of'), was the early-90s version of the Justice League that featured Superman and...uh...some other characters. That was all well and good until Superman got killed in a big crossover event and the Justice League because the story of, well, nobodies like Blue Beetle and Bloodwynd, at which point it just got increasingly dire until it got cancelled. It doesn't take a lot for things to fall apart.      DC Comic from the '90s that your team most resembles  Was Action Comics a well-written title? Well, most of the time it was more workmanlike than inspired, but it ran loving forever. Hell, not even Superman's mullet could kill it, and you know how loving deadly mullets can be. Some things will last forever.      DC Comic from the '90s that your team most resembles  Hawkman isn't just a lame character, back in the '90s, he was three or four lame characters! So DC decided that the best way to handle this surplus of Hawkmen was to collapse them into a single character. Now, you might wonder how that worked, and the answer was they literally physically merged all of the characters into one being. That made no real loving sense, even at the time, and it ended with Hawkman spending most of the rest of the '90s in limbo. Sometimes, just jamming poo poo together doesn't work.      DC Comic from the '90s that your team most resembles  Everyone likes the Waid-version of the Flash!      DC Comic from the '90s that your team most resembles  Legion of Super-Heroes in the early '90s was a book that made absolutely no sense, nor really tried to make any sense. At one point, the writer of the book just so frustrated that he just wrote a story about the Earth exploding and then quit. At which DC decided to junk the book and start over...18 months later, leading to an extended lame duck run where no one really gave a poo poo what was happening in the comic because it wasn't going to count. The point is, blowing up the Earth isn't going to solve anything.      DC Comic from the '90s that your team most resembles  Who the gently caress is Guy Gardner, you might ask? He was a dude so popular enough that despite the fact that his comic was titled "Guy Gardner: Warrior" for most of its run, it still managed to churn out 44 issues, nearly five of which weren't complete wastes of money! Just look at that cover, it's the last issue of his comic and he just blew a hole through his enemy's chest! Of course, in the comic, the enemy was only mildly inconvenienced by this, and the comic still got cancelled, but, for a second there, it sure looked like Guy Gardner was onto something! All glory is fleeting.      DC Comic from the '90s that your team most resembles  JLA was the book that made sure the Grant Morrison would be set for life, and that all of his works would be given glowing reviews by everyone. It was also the book that made every subsequent writer portray Batman as a guy who could win a fistfight with the sun thanks to his superior planning, even though that tended to lead the character down a creatively stultifying path. Still, a juggernaut is a juggernaut...unless it's from Juneau.      DC Comic from the '90s that your team most resembles  Hourman was the story of a robot from the 853rd Century who came back in time to hang out for a while. And then he got cancelled. Just like the Spooners.      DC Comic from the '90s that your team most resembles  The writers of Green Lantern pissed a lot of people off when they turned Hal Jordan evil, and that hosed things over for the comic from then on.      DC Comic from the '90s that your team most resembles  Azrael was the story of a man who had a bunch of animal DNA implanted in him as a child by evil Catholic monks who fought crime. This origin doesn't sound like it makes much sense at all, and it didn't. It still ran 100 issues. How? No one knows. No one read it, and no one knew anyone who read it, and, for many years, the publication of this title seemed like and urban legend. Eventually, it was revealed publicly that not only did Azrael exist, but it had been published continuously for over eight years. DC Comics immediately cancelled the series and gave a public apology. The Generics are probably going to get cancelled too if they can't turn this around.      DC Comic from the '90s that your team most resembles  You can't stop Batman, not even when you strap him to the bottom of a rocket. Just like you can't stop the Losers. Although they would likely not do quite as well after being strapped to the bottom of a rocket.      DC Comic from the '90s that your team most resembles  The early '90s Justice Society of America was a book with a high concept: What if you had a team book where all of the heroes were senior citizens. The answer is that you would get cancelled after ten issues. I'm not sure where I was going with the one.      DC Comic from the '90s that your team most resembles  Wonder Woman has run almost continuously since 1941. It has had, over those seventy-plus years, about three good years worth of stories. Why is that? Well, the people at DC have this bizarre faith that if they can just tweak the Wonder Woman character just right, then she'll make them millions. Of course, the character just kind of sucks, and there's no real hope of turning things around, but that doesn't stop DC, no, they'll keep on making minor changes and shuffling in new creative teams forever. Standings and Leaders      A. Confront Mega-General X directly. - 0 votes B. Consider alternate strategies of defeating Mega-General X. - 4 votes C. Get a Space-Gyros! - 12 votes Grace Mk. 7 felt like he's been waiting for this for centuries. After leaving the lab, Grace headed out to Greektown, a neighborhood in New Leningrad populated mainly by refugees from New Trebizond, which even now languished under an Iridnoi siege. But Grace didn't care about that, all he cared about was the freedom of the people of Rand...and also getting a space-Gyros. Everyone knew that the best space-Gyros on the planet were at Starvos' House of Gyros, so that's were Grace Mk. 7 headed. But, for some reason, he was nervous. Almost as if some ancestral memory were telling him that some complication would surely interfere with his purchase of a gyros. But his worries were unfounded, Grace paid for a regular Space-Gyros and received the delicious pita-based sandwich. Finally, after so long, it was time to feast... ...and that's when Grace Mk. 7 realized that something terrible had happened. Oh, he had his gyros, all right, but he was a robot. He lacked both a sense of taste and a digestive system. Missing one of those would make enjoying a gyros a much dicier proposition. Missing both, though? That turned this entire gyros affair into a cruel farce. What now? DECISION TIME! What will Grace Mk. 7 do? A. Despair! B. Build a digestive system so as to finally find a way to eat a loving gyros! C. This is Mega-General X's fault! If he hadn't existed, then Grace never would have be reincarnated in a body without the requiste components for enjoying a gyros! He must die for this!

How does Eckersley lose 6 games as a closer with an ERA under 2? And how did I gather such a luxury of outfielders? I have Bonds, Griffey & Ichiro and Cuyler's hitting over .300 off the bench, for god's sake. New lineup: RF Ichiro C Mauer CF Griffey 3B Pujols 1B McGwire LF Bonds SS Smith 2B Lajoie and can someone post me the slider options for BM2013? I honestly have no idea what mine are set to, they need a total revamp anyway and the old thread's gone to archives.

(After)life is a cruel farce, and then you die (again). That means Grace should just get this done sooner than later and go with C and face off with Mega-General X to end the pain sooner. Much like this team!  Welp. I was going to take ancient Collins but since that's not happening I'll take babby 93 Chipper Jones because I'm a stupid sucker. If you missed the last time, put in Niekro for LR. Gonna see how badly BBM mauls Jones before I put him into the lineup.
