So about a week ago a combination of personal problems, alcoholism and manic depression lead me to making several posts in this thread that were aggressive and unacceptable to multiple people, and I want to apologize for what was said. For personal reasons I'm unlikely to be back in the SL/discord anytime soon, but I do want to apologize for what I said, as it was unacceptable and wrong.

 League 1 World Series: Riverdale Pickle Jugheads at Chkalov Airwing ...wait, what's that you say? Shouldn't the Jugheads be the home team? Yes, they should! They're not, and I have no idea why. It happened in the other league too, where the Llamas won a lot more games than the Generics but they were the road team too. It's something I can presumably fix before next season. Sorry about that. Anyway...  The Riverdale Pickle Jugheads, despite being the visitors, should be the favorite in this series. They won over 100 games and don't have any real weaknesses. Hell, they got Some Guy Don Wilson to win 2 games in the Championship Series. The Chkalov Airwing, on the other hand, took off toward the end of the season but it was a struggle before that point. Stephen Strasburg and Clayton Kershaw are a vicious 1-2 punch, though, and it's not like Max Scherzer is any slouch either. If they pitch to their potential they could possibly engineer an upset. The fact they took out the Trashcats in 5 games speaks to the fact that both anything is possible in October AND that starting pitching makes a real difference. Game 1  Well. There's the magic of Kershaw. An Olerud double and Harper single stake the Airwing to a 2-0 lead, but they're unable to tack on further. The Jugheads begin chipping away, and tie it when George Davis raps a ground ball to third with 2 out, only for Anthony Rendon to boot it. The game goes 10 innings, and then DannoMack's AI manager decides to just gift the Airwing a win: Matt Kemp walks to lead off, and then steals second. A strikeout later, the manager decides "Hey, let's walk Bret Boone intentionally." This backfires disastrously when Anthony Rendon works a 5-pitch walk, loading the bases. Adam Eaton lifts the first pitch to shallow center, but it's deep enough to bring Kemp in for the win. 3-2 Airwing in an inning where they had zero hits. Game 2  The Jugheads apparently decide to be done loving around and pour it on early. A Bret Boone (maybe the IBB made sense) 2-run homer ties things up early on, but back-to-back homers by Joe Morgan and Gary Sheffield reclaim the 2-run lead for the Jugheads. Troy Tulowitzki, largely on the team because of his elite defense, does the one offensive thing he's truly good at: hitting dingers. He accounts for runs 5 and 7 and the Jugheads don't look back as they seize home field advantage. Game 3  A Trea Turner solo shot puts the Airwing up 1-0, but things go bad for them pretty soon thereafter. A 4-run 6th inning capped by a Nolan Arenado three-run homer puts the game out of reach, and Cliff Floyd tacks on another to make it 7-2. The Airwing load the bases in the 9th, but to no avail. Game 4  This one's over early. A Mookie Betts solo shot starts the scoring in a 6-run 2nd inning and the Jugheads just pile on from there. Max Scherzer just has a real bad day, and suddenly the Pickle Jugheads have a 3-1 lead and are 1 win away from a championship. Game 5  The Airwing decide not to go quietly, and they jump Larry Dierker for 4 runs early on. Clayton Kershaw has some of his patented Kershaw October Choking and nearly blows the lead. But the Jugheads never manage to equalize. They get it to 6-5, but no further. A 2 run home puts the Airwing up 8-5 and they head back home needing to win both games. Game 6  Chris Sale and Stephen Strasburg duel one another to a draw. The Jugheads draw first blood on a walk, a hit batsman, a walk, and then a sac fly. Not dominant, but the run counts. The Airwing score a run the more traditional way an inning later, combining a single and double from Matt Kemp and Yasiel Puig respectively. The game stays that way until the 11th. The Airwing run into trouble in the top of the inning, giving up a double to Mookie Betts with 2 out. But Sean Doolittle comes in to relieve and gets a strikeout to end the threat. Trea Turner leads off the bottom of the inning with a single, and given that he's like the fastest man alive, that's pretty much all she wrote. He steals second, and then scores standing up on a seeing-eye single through the left side. Incredibly, the Airwing tie the series up 3-3. Game 7  Huh. Kensei finally gets the performance out of David Cone that he traded both his Super Draft picks for. Olerud scores Yasiel Puig with an early single, and then Cone goes to work. He shuts down all opposition until the seventh inning when he loses control. He ends up leaving with the bases loaded and 2 out, with Sean Doolittle coming in to relieve. Doolittle doesn't do the job he did last time and instead immediately walks in a run, tying things up. But the Airwing don't let it get them down. In the bottom of the 7th they immediately regain the lead, capped by a three-run homer by Yasiel Puig. The Jugheads get scratch runs off the bullpen in the 8th and 9th, but it's not enough to offset the big blow. The Pickle Jugheads had a 3-1 lead, etc. No idea what would've happened had home/road been set up correctly, but you play the games as they're given to you by Clay Dreslough's magical scheduler. Congrats to both teams on a helluva series, and the Chkalov Airwing win the 2006 St. Louis Cardinals prize for "shittiest regular season followed by a world series championship." Of course, things aren't actually over for them. They still have to play the winner of the Generics-Llamas series which I'll try to post later today.

League 2 World Series: Zombie Llamas at Rochester Generics Yet again home field went to the team with fewer wins. The Pickle Jugheads weren't able to overcome it. Let's see if the Llamas can.  Not much more to say about the Generics. They still score a lot of runs and give up a lot (though fewer than they score). KW has talked about putting them in a less hitter-friendly stadium next season, but if they end up winning the championship, why mess with a good thing? On the other hand, they kinda barely won their division, only getting hot at the end in a Solo Division that had pretty much every team in first for a while before deciding "no, actually losing is cool. I want to do that."  And then there's the Llamas, for whom this series or the next will be their last hurrah in the Super League. They'll be in either the Super or Dispersal Draft so their roster can live on. Congrats on proving Larry Doby useful and a likely #1 overall pick, Llama. But at what cost? AT WHAT COST? Game 1  Pretty much all season long, kw0134 was hoping Babe Ruth would pitch well. He never really turned in a good performance; he was inspiredly mediocre. Guess he picked a good time to change that. Ruth worked 8 strong, never allowing a single Llama baserunner past 1st base, and one of those baserunners was on an error by Mel Ott. ...you're playing Ott at 3b? Dang. Anyway, Ott at least knocked in a run with an RBI triple so it's not like it didn't work out. It's a good pitching effort by Kershaw in the high-offense atmosphere of Rochester, but can't do much when Babe Ruth decides to just completely shut you down. Rube Foster pitched a 1-2-3 9th inning to pour salt in the wound. Game 2  I legit don't know who Ralph Comstock is, but he pitched a gem only surpassed by Ruth in Game 1. Meanwhile, Rochester takes Frank Viola behind the shed, though with relatively few extra base hits. Instead it's death by a thousand singles (well, 9 singles). The Generics hold serve and go up 2-0, heading to the Llamas' home field for Games 3, 4, and if necessary, 5. Game 3  The Llamas make it a series again behind a strong effort by Noah Syndergaard. Ruth hits a solo homer to put the Generics up 1-0, but Shohei Ohtani (Scherzer version) is unable to hold it. Lou Boudreau hits a 2rbi double to put the Llamas up in short order. The Generics completely gently caress up a chance to tie it up or make things worse in the sixth inning. Mel Ott walks. Babe Ruth walks. Mike Trout singles to load the bases with nobody out. But Shohei Ohtani, Albert Pujols, and Dick Bartell are all unable to get the ball out of the infield and the Llamas hold on to the lead. An inning later, Kent Hrbek gives the Llamas some insurance with a solo shot. Jonathan Broxton closes out the game with little difficulty, an extremely weird sentence to type. We have ourselves a series. Game 4  Stop me if you've heard this one before: a two-way player dominates the Llamas lineup, and the Generics score just enough to win since it's hard to win when you score 0 or 1 run. In this case, it's Smoky Joe Wood. He's not as dominant as Ruth; he has to pitch out of trouble a couple times: a bases loaded, one-out situation, a two-on, one-out situation that Rube Foster bails him out of late. Not much offense to speak of: a couple RBI singles by Bartell and Pujols, but the real story here is Wood. The Generics now hold a commanding 3-1 lead, though we just saw how safe that sort of lead can be. Game 5  Pity the poor Generics clubhouse attendant who has to take down all the plastic wrap in preparation for a champagne celebration. The Llamas come off the mat at the last possible second and force a Game 6. Kershaw and Ruth reprise their roles as duelling aces, keeping things scoreless for the first half of the game. A two-out Joe Gordon double puts the Llamas up 1-0 and they tack on with an Aaron RBI double an inning later to make it 2-0. They waste a golden opportunity for more runs, though: with Aaron on second and Manny Ramirez on first with nobody out, the next three batters fail to do anything useful at all. And then the wheels completely come off for the Llamas with an absolute nightmare of an inning. Seriously, check this poo poo out.  With the Generics just counting down the outs until their World Series championship, it looks like a foregone conclusion. We'll go to the ninth inning. With a 5-2 lead and a World Series for the taking, Rube Foster enters the game. Rico Carty singles, followed by a Kent Hrbek double. Not great, but it's a 3-run deficit. The 2 runners in scoring position simply don't matter that much. Al Rosen grounds back to Foster, and while Carty presumably could have scored, there's no reason to chance it down by 3. That brings Joe Torre up, who jumps on a 1-0 fastball (at 76mph? Deadballers, man.) and drives in the two runs. It's suddenly 5-4, with Joe Gordon as the tying run. I never really thought of Gordon as a power guy, and that's on me. Mogul certainly does, and he had decent pop--superb pop if you factor in his being a middle infielder and the era in which he played. As if to emphasize the point, Gordon crushes a ball to dead center, and we will see you tomorrow night. Game 6  Unfortunately for the Llamas, the fairytale comeback isn't a harbinger of things to come. That happens sometime. The Cardinals had a magical comeback in the 2011 World Series and won. They also had Albert Pujols destroy a Brad Lidge pitch to rescue them in the 2005 NLCS and they just lost the next game anyway. It's the latter case here. Pujols himself is involved with it, crushing an early 3-run homer off Frank Viola, and the Generics never look back. The Llamas have no shortage of opportunities to make a game of it, but they ground into three double plays and just strand runners everywhere. Vean Gregg comes in to finish things, with kw's AI manager apparently afraid of using Rube Foster. It works out, and the Generics win the League 2 World Series. Congrats to the Generics! And to the Llamas for a hard-fought series. The Generics-Airwing series will have to be in a separate savefile. Which is pretty annoying! It means I have to remember everything I did with the various Frankenstein two-way players on the Generics. In the interest of fairness, I will NOT allow the rookie boost for this series even though it's technically possible. Sorry, kensei, but Juan Soto will have to wait until next season. I want to see who is best (or at least who wins) given the parameters of the league we set in place at the start of this season. I'll sim it sometime in the next week. If you want any changes, lemme know. Otherwise I'll just clone what you've got here.

THE GAUNTLET: ROUND 1 FOUR TEAMS ENTER TWO TEAMS LEAVE  The Sapporo Sakamotos have a legit roster, but are also playing a 35 year old Arky Vaughan at shortstop. That might've worked in Old Mogul, but it's going to get HulkaMatt killed this time around. It's probably a large part of why they're in this part of The Gauntlet in the first place. We didn't realize positional chronology in the test league and we kinda figured it out during the season. Using Rico Carty of all people as our guinea pig.  Slug Undeath was awful during the regular season due to a roster post that failed to put them in McFreeze's desired locale, Coors Field. With that corrected, can they go on a Cindarella run through The Gauntlet?  Akron doesn't have much in the way of spectacular players, but it's got plenty of talent and always seemed like a credible contender in the Solo division. Maybe this'll be their chance to shine?  I love circlmastr but this team doesn't have it. Might sneak through a round or two but the Dwight Gooden draft pick didn't even get added to the roster. The ancient ichiro didn't either but that doesn't matter as much. Let's see what they can do and maybe it'll be a learning experience for all of us.    Pitching let you down.    I wonder what happens with Pee Wee in the lineup everyday. Probably not enough to save 'em, but maybe?    Babe Ruth still sucks, but the rest of Slug Lyfe is on fire.    It's enough, for now. Probably should figure out something useful to do with Doc. Not sure what you do about the offense other than just pray. FairGame fucked around with this message at 04:29 on Feb 21, 2023 |

THE GAUNTLET: ROUND TWO Time to cull two more teams. Slug Undeath, in their natural habitat at Coors Field, dominated round 1 of the Gauntlet. Was that a fluke, or are they a force to be reckoned with? And even if it's the latter, can they survive four rounds of The Gauntlet? Only takes one bad round, one bad week... Our other survivor from Round 1. I admit I'm not expecting much here; they're not using their draft picks. But wtf do I know?  A retooled Kamurocho squad, now with fewer Pujols-era Cardinals and more syphillitic dinguses for max platoons. Will it save CraigK? Will he be able to avoid getting banned long enough for it to matter?  Similarly retooled, with lots of old Reds. Bummed Johnny Vander Meer isn't on the active roster. I love 70s and 80s teams. They haven't worked, historically, and this one might not be an exception. But still fun to try!    I'm not sure the platoons worked, but your pitching really stepped up to save you.    Congratulations to Babe Ruth, who finally hit a roughly Ruth-like line and keeps Slug Lyfe rolling.    Pythag was much better than reality. Wayne Twitchell and his 10.80 ERA didn't help matters. At least Bobby Grink didn't betray you.    10.00 ERAs from 2 of your starters make a 20-20 record pretty impressive. Unfortunately, your adventure in NuLeague I ends here.  Slug Undeath and Kamurocho continue to round 3. FairGame fucked around with this message at 20:28 on Feb 22, 2023 |

THE GAUNTLET: ROUND 3 Here's where we're really starting to run into teams I think are good and just had some rotten luck. Can't save 'em all. I am pro-life and I take no pleasure in reporting this lmao  The 21st Century Schizoid Men are fun as hell. Fully modern, power pitching. Lotta assholes and horrible monsters, led perhaps by Trevor Bauer (who Yaya has taken out of the rotation) and Josh Hamilton. But they were doing really good in the Solo Division before suddenly and violently making GBS threads the bed.  The Haukness Madknights took a chance on a young Astros dynasty team and for the most part, it paid off. They never really were able to challenge the Pickle Jugheads, though, and a late-season fade has put them in the Gauntlet. The Kamurocho Dragons did well in their previous Gauntlet appearance. Craig's been a bit snakebit and getting through 3 rounds to survival is gonna be tough. But maybe! What a difference a home field makes. Slug Undeath has pretty handily cruised through the first two Gauntlet rounds now that they're in their ancestral home. But surviving multiple rounds of The Gauntlet is tough for ANY team. And the quality of the opposition has only increased.    ...you were fine until the end of the season. Also that's what happened in The Gauntlet too. Sorry     Just didn't put it together. I like the idea of MANY PLATOONS, but I wonder if you outsmarted yourself a bit by giving playing time to Matt Stairs and such.    Jesus christ, what the gently caress is up with that Pedro? He's been trying to kill you for a while now.    I really hope you haven't come all this way just to fail at the end.

THE GAUNTLET: ROUND 4 (FINAL ROUND PERFECT REMIX) Because Llama is taking the Zombie Llamas out (they'll be in the dispersal draft), I'm making the final round of the Gauntlet only kill 1 team. 4 teams enter, 3 teams leave. Haukness sailed through the last round of the Gauntlet. But now I've fixed their Anthony Rendon! Will Rendon instead of Altuve, per Pash's request in discord, bring Haukness to the promised land?  Didn't draft a team with Tim Spoonybarger smdh. Anyway, Eblan is pretty good and while I question their choice of corner OFs and their not using Bruce Hurst at SP5, I think they've got a perfectly good chance of surviving the Gauntlet.  The Gauntlet team with the best record. Chipper Jones is good now. Can he keep SoDak alive, or will they Die Alone? Don't gently caress it up now, McFreeze. You've survived 3 Gauntlet rounds and all you have to do is not finish last!    Wade Boggs apparently got tired of dragging you down last season and decided he'd single handedly (well, I guess Edgar helped too) carry you to NuLeague 2. Congrats!    Rendon was really bad! Holy poo poo! But he's wasn't 4 games worse than Altuve would've been. I'm so sorry.    Babe Ruth: good?    Chipper Jones, daughter Shea, Die Alone another day  Eblan, South Dakota, and Slug Undeath survive to Nu-League 2. I'm so sorry, Pash. I'm releasing your drafted teams back into the Draft of Drafts. You've got first dibs on rereg though so I hope you come back immediately!
