While I like the general idea of factions battling it out for a prize, I think that the specific layout of the teams is more than a little slanted in favor of the Marauders. I love my Mooglies, and I don't want them to think I don't have faith in them, but...yeah. Speaking of the Mooglies, they've been uprooted! Larry Lucchino's negative energy was killing the spirit of rock and roll, plus I realized that having two deadballers two Cliff Lees in the rotation meant that I shouldn't play half my games at Fenway Park. The question now, though: Where can we go? They shut down the Boston Googolplex shortly after the Greater Mooglies folded, and The Casbah is all the way in London. These are desperate times, and they call for the most desperate of measures; using the powers given to me by the gods of rock, I will transport the Royal Palace of Googopolis to this earthly plane! Thankfully I had a baseball field put in during my sabbatical after the demise of the Calling. Open-air stadium Natural grass Excellent infield High grass Large foul ground Fair visibility (sometimes the sun shining off the golden palace gets in the batter's eye) Dimensions: 365/390/415/395/355 The hitters won't like it, but...they're tough. They'll figure it out. I hope.

Hey, spuds! Taters! Idaho! Johnny Sain is...well, he's a nice fella, but he isn't exactly good. Or decent. Or anything. Look, I've got Mel Harder, and I've got a big hole at shortstop. You've got one, too, because your Cal Ripken just isn't cutting it right now. So let's do this: Great Googly-Mooglies get: Cal Ripken Jr., Mike Mussina Idaho Potatoes get: 1934 Mel Harder, 1968 Dick McAuliffe You get Harder to plug into your rotation right away, and a reroll on my underperforming McAuliffe. I get a reroll on Ripken and play him at short, plus I get the young Mussina to plug in at long relief. What do you say?

Jesus Christ, the clones. There are so many of them. Everywhere I look it seems that there's two of somebody. And it's not time travel. I've been through the ages, seen the future and the past, and hung out with all my different selves. But these guys...these clones...that's what they are. They're the same guy. I look over here, Chief Bender. I look over there, Chief Bender. One day Cliff Lee pitches a shutout, the next day the same drat guy gets crushed. Am I losing it? Did bringing forth the Palace of Googopolis drive me insane? Did I--look! Over there! It's Kerry Wood! The same Kerry Wood I have! But he's...pitching for the Superstars? It can't be! Superstars! Send that man over here! I must see him, to make sure that he is real! Great Googly-Mooglies get: 2009 Kerry Wood Rated R Superstars get: 2009 Chris Perez, 2006 Brandon League (I cannot approve this trade on the Superstars' behalf. Approval must come from either every owner who isn't Bomber [Senerio, Cthulhu Dreams, Pungry] or Bomber and one of Pungry or Cthulhu Dreams.)

Smasher Dynamo posted:Don't the Mooglies already have 2009 Kerry Wood? That's what I said, brother! But then the Bengals had that auction, and then there were clones everywhere! I got another Bender from 1911, and the Superstars suddenly had one of the exact same Kerry Wood I had! I'm starting to think that calling forth the Palace of Googopolis may have ripped a hole in the space-time-rock continuum. Changes for the Great Googly-Mooglies: - The second Kerry Wood takes Chris Perez' spot on the roster, and is the new set-up man - Jose Valverde moves to short relief And for the Rated R Superstars: - Chris Perez takes Kerry Wood's spot on the roster, and is the new set-up man - Brandon League takes Jason Motte's spot on the roster, and is a short reliever - Jason Motte is demoted to the minors - Trever Miller is banished from existence to keep us at 28 players The Goog fucked around with this message at 04:49 on Sep 4, 2012 |

Heh...err, let's just hope that doesn't happen to us. The Great Googly-Mooglies issue the following challenges: The Mooglies' first round Super Draft pick and the second-round pick we didn't trade to the Cultists (whichever of the Saints' or Mooglies' is higher) on a * challenge for 1989 Ozzie Smith The Saints' first round Super Draft pick and 2011 Santiago Casilla on a ** challenge for 2010 Ryan Braun 1968 Dick McAuliffe and 2011 Alex Avila on a ** challenge for 2001 Mike Mussina

Look, fellas, I want to be straight with you. The Mooglies...well, they haven't gone quite as long without playing ball as I've led you to believe. Obviously I brought back Cliff and Eddie and...who was the third guy? Ah, it doesn't matter. I brought back those guys when I did that whole "greater" Mooglies thing, but this is different. You see, when I hopped on my Pegasus and rode back to the Palace of Googopolis after the Greater Mooglies failed, I was despondent. We all were. And then I got bitter, and jealous. So I gathered together a few teams of my own, trying to recreate the feel of the old Super League. It was tough, finding guys willing to travel through the heavens just to play baseball for my own personal amusement, but we cobbled together enough of a following that the people started turning out in numbers. And even on a planet of rock a hundred trillion miles away from this world, when there are enough people who want to watch something, they'll put it on television. And there will be contracts. So when the suits had had their say, they divided the teams into two leagues: There was the ABBA League, who played their games on Channel 1, and the Zeppelin League, on Channel 693. At the end of the year, my Mooglies took on a team that called themselves the "Free-riding Funksters of Greater Googopolis." It was a joke, really; we beat them in four games, and the only run they scored came when Cliff Lee tried to pitch back-to-back games righthanded. They crowned us the "television champions," whatever that meant, and immediately started working on the next season. Seeing that sad excuse for baseball had me itching to get back in the Super League, though, and so I came back to this plane of existence and brought forth the London Calling. After they were turned away, I didn't want anything to do with baseball for a while. Without the Mooglies, the television league crumbled; they never even crowned a second champion. The league seemed destined to fade away, never to be thought of again, but the gods of rock had other thoughts. When I brought the Mooglies back to Earth and called forth the Royal Palace of Googopolis to host our home games, I brought the royal servants along with me. When I did, one of the janitors came to me and said, "Hey, tough guy! I found this title just lying around in some trash, see? I figured maybe you, ese, should have it. Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta...GOOOOOO!" He's a weird fella, I'm not gonna lie. Incredible with a 2x4, though. Anyway, I held the belt in my hands, and the memories flooded back to me. It might just be a crappy piece of tin to you, but to me and the Mooglies, this belt represents the struggle we endured just to get back to the Super League. We will carry it--and defend it--with pride. I hereby declare the Great Googly-Mooglies the first ever Super League Television Champions!

The Mooglies wager 2009 Travis Hafner and their remaining second-round Super Draft pick (theirs or the Saints, whichever is higher) on a *** challenge for 1939 Hank Greenberg. The Mooglies will not be the ones taking this challenge, however; they have contracted the services of the Ry'leh Cultists. In exchange for the Cultists taking on this challenge, the Mooglies will send 2009 Ted Lilly. I'm sure he'll fit right in with all the other Cubs and former Cubs on the Cultists.

Good week! - 1911 Stuffy McInnis replaces 1989 Ozzie Smith on the roster (Smith lost to the ether) - Please set defensive replacement sliders to -1. Rated R Superstars: Well, we got swept by the Mooglies and didn't perform well in the league, which sucks, but at least we added Matt Williams, on whom I'm much higher than Smasher. Good week! - 1996 Matt Williams replaces 2009 Troy Glaus on the roster (Glaus sent down to the minors) - Williams also replaces 2009 David Freese in the lineup, playing third and batting 7th against righties and lefties.

Victory! Woo-hoo! Let's have Mussina replace 1911 Stuffy McInnis on the roster, and rework the pitching rotation to look like this: SP1. Chief Bender SP2. Cliff Lee SP3. Chief Bender SP4. Mike Mussina SP5. Mel Harder LR Bill Lee MR Lloyd Brown SR Joe Smith SR Justin Masterson SU Kerry Wood CL Kerry Wood Hopefully Harder won't mind being pushed back a turn and having the AI skip his starts whenever it can. If he's mad now, he's gonna be even more pissed when Verlander gets back!

gingemidget posted:Bad rotation? Unfazed by the curse of the 90s Braves? Simply want a player with the letter Z in their name? Then I have a like new '93 John Smoltz ready to sell to you for any reasonable offer! Why not add some deadball to your life? The Great Googly-Mooglies are currently overstocked in 1911 Chief Benders, and we want to pass the savings on to you! For your '93 Smoltz and just a second-round pick in the Super Draft, you can have a guy coming off of two seasons where he combined for 500 (!) IP and an ERA+ of 148. In 1911 itself, Bender put up a 145 ERA+, and did it while giving up two--TWO--home runs in over 200 innings. Chief Bender's a Hall of Famer, and in 1911 he's in his prime. Young and Short, no offense to Marauder, simply can't measure up.

Rated R Superstars This bullpen situation is...Lord, it's awful. Holy loving God it's awful. We need to make a change. We only have one guy in the minors, but we're going to have to call him up. And to see whose place he'll take, we turn to the Wheel of  Wheel of Mediocrity, turn turn turn; tell us the pitcher that we should burn...  2009 Jason Motte replaces 2006 Brandon League on the roster and in the bullpen.

The Rated R Superstars wager their Super Draft picks to make a * challenge for 1986 Jesse Orosco.

It's worth noting, Rev, that Marauder's Rollins has either zero or one year with an OPS+ above 100 on his resume. (What year is he, anyway?) Jack Clark is already a high-slugging, multi-time All Star by 1985. That alone makes the deal silly. Here's a better offer for you: 1910 Jim Delahanty, who had enjoyed six straight 100-or-higher OPS+ seasons and would go on to put up four more in a row, for just your second round pick.

You don't want to trade Jack Clark. There's nothing wrong with that. If Delahanty's lack of shortstop experience scares you away, then let me offer 1968 Dick McAuliffe, again for just your second-round Super Draft pick. It's true that McAuliffe was primarily a second baseman by '68, but he had been a full-time shortstop for several years before that, and he continued to play the position on a part-time basis (as well as filling in at third, when needed) for the remaining seven years of his career. In 1968 he was in his offensive prime, as well; that was his second of three straight seasons with a 126 OPS+, and before that stretch he put up a 148.
