After the game, FairGame mocked his opponent, "As the Ombudsman of this league, I have something that I need to bring to Smasher Dynamo's attention. It is simply too unrealistic to think that a man, given two Babe Ruths, could make a team as bad as the Colliders. No, theacox's total incompetence is simply incredible, both in the sense of the staggering nature of his failures, but also because it simply cannot be believed. It is clear that, just like so many other things in the Super-League, that theacox is exaggerating his cretinous nature for comedic purposes, and that sort of comedy has no place in the Super-League. The most important part of the Super-League is its verssimilitude, and everytime something like this happens, it hurts the league. Smasher Dynamo, I call on you to reprimand theacox for his actions. No one could possibly as stupid as him, and the Super-League must forever reside in the land of the 'possible'."

The Colliders will take 2006 Chipper Jones and immediately start him at 3B, batting in the lineup in front of Ryne Sandberg.

I went with Giambi over Ortiz only because of slightly less horrifying defense. We will roll with the Trammell/Jeter platoon and see what happens. I slightly modified a couple of the pitching sliders, but it will likely make very little difference. Other than that, everything is the same.

So, uh, the Colliding Crows should probably do something about that bullpen situation.


Let's swap the Nens. Also, is that Ryan Weber a real player? Because that roll for Tim Burke is horrifying. Assuming Weber is not usable, swap Burke and Reardon so he at least gets used less.

Other ideas Hulkamatt?

I was hoping for something like the CERN Collider's vintage. I have a 1990 Yount, but I'd just like to shave a couple of years off him so I can play the poo poo out of him at two demanding positions whenever I want to.

I'm not sure what you have in return, but any deal would have to start with a SS in return to replace Yount. My replacement options are Not Good™. Probably unlikely I would make a deal for anything less than an adequate SS+.

If theacox wants to pick, I don't think there is anything stopping him from doing so, from this point forward.

Well I sure would like to pick, so I'm going to.
