 Super-League XXX, Dynamo League Championship Series: World Warriors vs. Towa City Demon Hunters  : Yoshida, I'm tired, and this isn't a particularly exciting series, so let's cut to the chase. : Normally, I would demand we give our best! But TheMcD is involved, and he's evil. So, okay!: Okay, the first five games of the series go exactly how people would expect, with the home team winning each game, which gives the Warriors a 3-2 lead heading into Game Six in Towa City.      : And then it all goes terribly wrong. : Here, you see, things could have gone differently. There's no reason that Mariano Rivera can't theoretically get the save, and win the series for the Warriors. Granted, you're asking him to save a one-run game, and you're doing so in a stadium where it is very easy for right-handed hitters to hit home runs, but it's theoretically a manageable situation. The problem here is that, going into the bottom of the eighth, the Warriors have only scored two runs, which is just not enough. Waddell was the right guy to start this game, but there just wasn't enough offense. Now, let me be clear. The Warriors are not actually a bad-hitting team. In the regular season, they were solidly above-average in terms of runs scored, and the teams ahead of them were mostly teams with stadiums that inflated their numbers, like the Demon Hunters and Generics. For that matter, had the Warriors won a couple more games in the regular season, they would have ended up with home-field advantage in this series. The Warriors did not have to lose this game, they very easily could have won it. But now Yaya makes a decision that takes him into the deep waters. Before the series, he posted this:Yaya posted:
: Strasburg and Waddell definitely are the two best, of those five options, to start in Towa City. The problem is, with the rotation arranged the way it is, while Waddell will pitch twice in Towa City, Stras is set to pitch Game 1 in Towa City, and Game 5 in Shadaloo. Which means that Game 7, in Towa City, will be started by Clayton Kershaw. In the real world, 2020 happened, and Kershaw proved that he's not necessarily a choke artist, but in the Super-League... : And so, the Demon Hunters are just one more series win, a series where they will have home-field advantage, away from winning the Super-League. Our damnation approaches apace.

 PLAY THAT FUNKY RESULTS MUSIC SUPER LEAGUE SEASON XXVIII PICK 'EM UPDATE 3/3 THE LAST PICK 'EM UPDATE?! BUT HULKAMATT! POINTS ARE STILL LEFT TO BE DISTRIBUTED! Well you're right. But first, let's take a look at THIS!  Weeks 19 - 26 have been entered in. Assuming no mistakes have been made, CirclMastr and TheMcD are at the top, with Monicro at a close 3rd! But! Pre-Season Pick 'Em Points... they also need to be added! SO LET'S THROW THEM IN!  Ohhhh Shiiiiit!!!! Habeas has launched himself to the front of the line! Let's take a look at what's left of Pre-Season Pick 'Em and see if anyone can overtake him!  ... oh. So to break it down: Nobody has chosen the Rakers to win the Smasher League or the Super League. Nobody within 10 points of Habeas has chosen the Landers to win the Sub-Par League. Nobody within 10 points of Habeas has chosen the Deck Chairs to win the Sub-Par League. Which can only mean one result: habeasdorkus has won the Super League Season 30 Pick 'Em. ...assuming I haven't mad any mistakes! Did I accidentally not input points for you in a certain spot? Did I screw up anything on the weekly Pick 'Em?! I looked real hard and couldn't find anything, but it's very plausible that I missed something! If so, DM me on Discord or quote me here and I'll fix it immediately! You can look at the spreadsheet Here! And uh... assuming I got everything right, that's it for the Pick 'Em! Go W's.

Expansion Cup July Buntingville Bastards     A really strong month from this team has put them into contention for second. They only played 3 games against the Chancers and made this much ground, which is impressive. Center Line Sneki Sneks     This team is hanging in there with amazing performances from Ruth and Greenberg. Just doesn't feel like the pitching is quite good enough, but maybe things would be different with a healthy #2 and #3. Centralia Corgies     TFW you're 6th in a 10 man division with a record 9 games over .500. Florida Dickshots     No comment. Izzy's Onigiri Hedgehogs     How on earth did you guys give up 14 runs to the Chancers? And still stay in second? Makes no sense! San Lorenzo Bokononists     Craig Badgio, yes, but good lord Bill Dahlen is just as bad an anchor, if not worse. An .860 fielding percentage at the hot corner. Someone give him 1960's NHL goalie equipment. Seventh Sea Chancers     Well, uh, your bats woke up this month. Stick Club Appellation Hither     Dan Brouthers cannot singlehandedly win ballgames. Suez Tugboats     My main question for this team is whether or not we'll remember the incident the name is based on 10 weeks into the season. The Clown Team     Ted Williams is the Pagliacci of the Super League, I'm the therapist, and I'm not sure where this joke is going. Can someone in the audience help me out.  First place, or at least one of the two finals' slots, seems wrapped up by the Tugboats at this point, but three teams are right next to each other for that other slot, and I wouldn't count out the Bokononists or Centralia yet. Everyone else though? I would count them out. Even if they had Touchdown Tom.

Well it'll be very funny if the team storms back after I do this, but 10 games seems like a good breakpoint to start seeing who's worth rostering in the subpar. -Ray Collins in for Bill Donovan -Bobby Abreu in for Joe Kelley -Red Rolfe in for Bill Dahlen

Super-League XXX, Smasher League Championship Series: Walney Rakers vs. South Bolton Eazy W's : Yoshida, let me tell you a story.: I...okay?: Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there lived a champion, the greatest of all champions, who had fought against the impossible, and endured the unimaginable. Some said the champion had lived since the beginning of time, and some said the champion was older still, that when the universe first began, the champion was already there, looking upon it. But the reality is that the champion, though ancient, though unaging, still felt the weight of untold years, and that much as nothing could last forever, not even could the champion remain. And so it came to pass that the champion knew that the time had come. One last battle, victory or death, and the champion would pass from this realm, never to return. Ah, but when that last battle would come? That was harder to say.: From the depths of hell rose the champion's oldest rival, or, should I say, the oldest that still remained, for so long had the champion lived that many other old rivals had faded from memory. The multifold dreams of the Marauder, the furious defiance of the Koop, the mechanical excellence of the Beet, those and so many others were long dead and buried. But this man, he remained. Some time past, the champion had shattered the man, and cast his remains into perdition, for such was the code they both had abided by. The champion had expected that the fires of hell were burn what was left into nothing more than ash, but this man, this Raker, was not so easily defeated. His anger sustained him, and he rose up, hate in his heart, determined that if any man should have the right to vanquish the champion, to bathe in the champion's lifeblood, it would be him, and no other.: And so the Raker came upon the champion, who looked on him as one might look on an old painting of a former acquaintance, memories stirred, but little feeling behind them. The champion, so close to the end, could scarcely bring himself to care. But the Raker persisted, for the Raker would have his blood. The champion, more confused than angry, more troubled than belligerent, struck the Raker with two great blows, and staggered the man.  : The Raker seethed as he stumbled backwards. He had assumed that the champion, in such an addled state, would be easily conquered. A lesser man would have cut his losses then and there, but the Raker had been through too much, he had dwelt in the nightmare of the underworld for too long, and he would have his vengeance. Steeling himself, he unleashed a barrage of his own, giving back in pain what he had been dealt.  : The champion lacked the willfulness of the Raker. With death looming, the champion hardly cared whether or not the Raker won this fight. In the end, what would it matter? The champion would perish soon enough regardless. Why not let the Raker have his revenge? Why fight what seemed inevitable? But then the champion saw what lay behind the Raker. In the distance, a darkness loomed. The Raker was a man of fury and bitterness, but those were the emotions of a human, capable of both good and evil. In the distance, the champion saw something far worse, something that had willingly given away its humanity long ago, so long that the cost of the bargain no longer registered for the monster, its own humanity nothing more than a fleeting memory. : The champion rose, and prepared a final barrage. The Raker was more sinned against than sinning, but the champion could not show mercy. There was a monster coming to destroy all that was good, and the Raker, powerful though he was, would not be able to meet that challenge. No, the champion thought to himself, even were the Raker strong enough, it would not be right. Whoever faced that monster would likely die, and, even if not, would suffer greatly in the battle. The Raker would have his day. But it would not be this day.  : The Raker fell, injured, but still living. The champion walked past him, and stared into the darkness. And the darkness stared back.Injury/Pitcher Rest Towa City Demon Hunters Pitchers Bobby Mathews - 1 day out Roy Halladay - 1 day out All others - rested Injuries Roy Halladay (SP) - Out Until Game 2 Pick 'em: FINALS Pick the winner, number of games (Best of Seven), and score of the final game South Bolton Eazy Ws vs. Towa City Demon Hunters

Also, current pick-'em standings are: 1. Monicro (23) 2. KungFu Grip (6) No-one else has any points, but any EC owner could theoretically still win with either 34 or 36 points remaining (depending on how many teams survive the last round of the Gauntlet)!
