Good thing I was aiming for the "worst team in the league" thing, huh :suicide:

And since I forgot I was in the DH league until you posted that, here we go for another lineup change!

Lineups: 1. 1955 Eddie Yost, 3B
2. 1939 Ted Williams, LF
3. 1999 Mike Sweeney, 1B
4. 1918 Babe Ruth, RF
5. 2006 Magglio Ordonez, DH
6. 2006 Placido Polonco, 2B
7. 1999 Carlos Beltran, CF
8. 2006 Ivan Rodriguez, C
9. 1991 Cal Ripken Jr, SS

this team can't lose more than 120 games right

It's time... for Kevin "Apples" Appier to make his debut! Slide Appier into the 5th slot. Let's give Rodriguez a break and put in Bill Dickey, with the same batting order, just him at 5th for now. If Jermiane Dye could play 1B then substitute out Sweeney for him for a week or something, but I doubt he can. If only Babe loving Ruth could start hitting one of these days.

Also, B.

Damon can play left field, right? Put in Damon for Williams this week. That includes batting order. Kevin Appier is up to standards right now, in that he sucks. I'll be very happy when I am rid of him during the next draft. Also, come on Babe Ruth. Step it up.

oh no Jamie Walker is hurt what will I do without him :geno:

Seattle Suicides

Well, I guess it's time to re-arrange the deck chairs on the Titanic.

New batting order:

1. Cal Ripken Jr., SS
2. Ted Williams, LF
3. Magglio Ordonez, DH
4. Babe Ruth, RF - I know I can't lose faith in you, but it feels like using you as a pitcher would be a better idea right now
5. Bill Dickey, C
6. Mike Sweeney, 1B - unless someone else on my team can play 1B, I'll have to keep him in for another week or so.
7. Curtis Granderson, CF - Giving Beltran a week off
8. Joe Randa, 3B - Yost is tired and hasn't been too good
9. Carlos Guillen, 2B - He used to be able to play 2B back on the Mariners! Also Palanco is in pain

Please stop drafting pitchers you dicks! Some of us actually need them.

C.

e: The only person I want to be an All Star is Designated Hitter Magglio Ordonez.

Get the gently caress out Kevin Appier.



With the 14th pick in the draft, the Seattle Suicides select... ah gently caress, I have to take a Roy Halladay? I guess I'd rather have 2010 Roy Halladay. Just watch, the 2003 Halladay is going to own and mine will be awful.

New Rotation: 1. Carl Mays
2. Dutch Leonard
3. 2010 Roy Halladay
4. Joe Bush
5. Justin Verlander

Wait, I could've sworn that the draft pool said it was '10 Halladay when I was deciding! Since the Tornadoes haven't made their pick, can I take '03 Halladay instead? Keep the same pitching order regardless.

Beltran in for Granderson, Palanco back in for Guillen since Guillen sucks on offense, and switch Verlander and Bush in the pitching rotation.

The Seattle Suicides select XX Sudden Death. Unless that's not a choice. In which case, uh, I don't know, 18 Dazzy Vance could be a member of the bullpen or a starting pitcher? But I really want Sudden Death.
