Expansion Cup: July       Analysis:  :Look at that rotation! And that lineup! : I guess that's why they call it medium!: Why's that?: Because it's not rare, and it's certainly not well done!: Dohohoho!       Analysis: I don't think Vince Dimaggio has what it takes to be a #3 hitter.        Analysis: Time to start planning for the dispersal draft!        Analysis: Ah: runs. Runs.        Analysis: Well, the Phantoms are dead and the goddamn Imperialists won the Memento Mori. The Imperialists! Are you happy now?!?        Analysis: You haven't got enough talented position players to be competitive.        Analysis: The unnatural alliance of teams working together continues to pervert the spirit of the Super-League, where teams must stand alone, apart. Hopefully the Superstars will go the way of Frankenstein's monster and soon be borne away by the waves and be lost in darkness and distance, but until then, you're only half a game out and the Cultists just lost Mathewson for a month, so expect good things.        Analysis: From the journal of Christy Mathewson, Age 21 More and more, I regret coming to this place. I was happy in Juneau, even with the snow, and the many, many losing seasons. The cold and the darkness there only served to bring people closer together; you could forget your ambitions and be content to spend time with your family and friends in the ballpark, or next to the fireplace. Here, though, the snow and the people are equally cold. Everyone shares the same unsettling facial similarities, and I can't shake the feeling that something lurks just outside my vision as I take the mound. Once, against the Superstars, I could have sworn that the applause of the audience had suddenly become synchronized, like a terrifying metronome, a single clap, inhumanly precise. I can't forget the sound. It beats in my head, unceasingly, an uncomfortable companion as I look outside at the snow. It never gets warmer, here, they say. Soon the sun will disappear and I will be left with my uneasiness and the blackness. Now, I only see the snow, and remember something Melville wrote: quote:This elusive quality it is, which causes the thought of whiteness, when divorced from more kindly associations, and coupled with any object terrible in itself, to heighten that terror to the furthest bounds. Witness the white bear of the poles, and the white shark of the tropics; what but their smooth, flaky whiteness makes them the transcendent horrors they are? That ghastly whiteness it is which imparts such an abhorrent mildness, even more loathsome than terrific, to the dumb gloating of their aspect. I cannot remember the last time I have seen Walter smile since we arrived. I fear for us all.        Analysis: : Yeah we smokin' diesel, yeah we smokin' kushI just smoked some poo poo I think they called George Bush - : It got me feelin' dumb, it got me feelin' numbI'm high, how much lower can the ceilings come? : Above the clouds, flying next to planesI got sour, you got lemon haze? Let's exchange - : My money like my weed, yeah, I make it growI got everything you need, just call me Trader Joe - : I'm making dough so I smoke the finer treesIt got me seeing double so I call it Siamese - : My lighter broke I need some fire pleaseI got the munchies, let me get a chicken gyro and some fries with cheese - : Green and Purple, Green and Purple, Green and Purple, Green and Purple       Analysis: More hitters, now! More!        Analysis: Juan Marichal is out for 100 days, which means he's out for the rest of the season. Good thing he should fetch a high price for teams looking to upgrade their pitching. Say, Steve Carlton?        Analysis: Good team. Upgrade your centerfielder, and after that anything will be a luxury, not a necessity.        Analysis: Faithful Moose, your efforts have paid off, and you keep an above .500 record. Alvin Dark is not a suitable anything, so please replace him, and seize the division title while you can!        Analysis: The bad news is that you're crashing back down to earth. The good news is that you, like the Orioles, are still somehow outperforming the pythag and remaining in the fight for the division title.        Analysis: You've got a lot of good, but not great players, and you need to find a star to anchor your lineup if you want to survive in the new and deadlier Super-League. Also, your second Cliff Lee seems to be imploding.        Analysis: Ignoring all the injuries, a lineup centered around Larry Walker and Moises Alou is not going to take you very far.        Analysis: No.        Analysis: Mogul ratings are weird. I don't know how Mays's jumped four points over the course of the month, but his output certainly matches it. Old Mike Schmidt is cooked.     Analysis: Cheaters never prosper, except after this season, when you get a bunch of imported players, I guess!     Analysis: Your lineup isn't generating the offense it needs to be in the McQueen League, so either consider switching to the non-DH league when it comes time, or get some better hitters. Jim Bunning continues his excellent work, but the back end is coming undone. Standings

On the rope was nothing but the anchor. The aeronauts, too busy at the time trying to keep a lookout, had noticed nothing. It was presumed that the dying old man had disappeared while the balloon was flying over the bay.        So vanished Cosimo, without giving us even the satisfaction of seeing him return to earth a corpse. On the family tomb there is a plaque in commemoration of him, with the inscription: "Cosimo Piovasco di Rondo - Lived in trees - Always loved earth - Went into sky."     Every now and again as I write I interrupt myself and go to the window. The sky is empty, and for us old folk of Ombrosa, used to living under those green domes, it hurts the eyes to look out now. Trees seem almost to have no right here since my brother left them or since men have been swept by this frenzy for the ax. And the species have changed too; no longer are there ilexes, elms, oaks; nowadays Africa, Australia, the Americas, the Indies, reach out roots and branches as far as here. What old trees exist are tucked away on the heights; olives on the hills, pines and chestnuts in the mountain woods; the coast down below is a red Australia of Eucalyptus, of swollen India rubber trees, huge and isolated garden growths, and the whole of the rest is palms, with their scraggy tufts, inhospitable trees from the desert.     Ombrosa no longer exists. Looking at the empty sky, I ask myself if it ever really did exist. That mesh of leaves and twigs of fork and froth, minute and endless, with the sky glimpsed only in sudden specks and splinters, perhaps it was only there so that my brother could pass through it with his tomtit's tread, was embroidered on nothing, like this thread of ink which I have let run on for page after page, swarming with cancellations, corrections, doodles, blots and gaps, bursting at times into clear big berries, coagulating at others into piles of starry seeds, then twisting away, forking off, surrounding buds of phrases with frameworks of leaves and clouds, then interweaving again, and so running on and on and on until it splutters and bursts into a last senseless cluster of words, ideas, dreams, and so ends.

McQueen League Divisional Series The Cultists are owned by a swaggering Australian, who has come to the SuperLeague unburdened by sentimentality or any attachment to a particular team. No, CthulhuDreams has unreservedly embraced the cold, unyielding domain of baseball statistics, and in just a few short weeks he has proven himself to be both willing and able to convince otherwise sane owners into agreeing to terrible trades. Tom Henke, Walter Johnson, and Christy Mathewson were all added for pittances, and the Cultist's rotation, when healthy, is one of the most formidable in the Expansion Cup. It's his lineup that has the other owners worried, though, because CthulhuDreams has ascribed to a simple, but unnerving, strategy: simply get the best player ever at that position, and put him on the field. With Foxx, Banks, Musial, Hornsby, Sandberg, and Speaker, he's come pretty drat close. But pride comes before the fall, and countless owners before him have seen their grand designs collapse in a run of terrible luck. Will the Cultists pay the price for their hubris? Or will their terrifying power translate into an unstoppable juggernaut in the Super-League?  Sunken R'lyeh Grounds R'lyeh, Outside of Time and Space The Sunken R'lyeh Grounds will host games 1, 2, 6, and 7 of this series.  The Goose Eggs have never been a favorite in anything they've tried. First, back when they were based out of Petaluma, they were summarily relegated after a season of futility. Then, their owner Armitage nearly went bankrupt last season and had to suspend team operations. This year, Armitage swears, is the Goose Egg's year. The numbers in the win column, however, suggest otherwise, as the Goose Eggs are the only team to reach the playoffs without having won at least 100 games. A weak Johnny Hopp division, and some incredible swings of luck granted the Goose Eggs a playoff berth, but no-one would suggest they look likely to beat the Cultists, or the winner of the Taggart League. Still, they have an underrated rotation, and an excellent team defense. They'll need it, because their lineup is nothing notable, and they're going up against the spinning sawblade that is the Cultists...  Tommy Vercetti Memorial Stadium Vice City, Floria The Goose Eggs will host games 3,4, and 5 of this series. Game One Turd Ferguson posted:

Taggart League Championship Series As the second hat that owner Notthatsambeckett has entered into the fantasy fantasy baseball ring, the Polyarny version of his Postmodernists appear to be substantially superior to his earlier effort. The key to his team's success can be traced to his careful, if not exactly original, assembling of players who are almost without exception incredibly speedy baserunners or excellent contact hitters, or both, and his rotation of mostly deadballers, all of whom play and pitch within a cavernous expanse of a ballpark. Visiting teams see their offenses smothered, and teams hosting the Postmodernists are unable to stem the constant hemorrhaging of base hits and stolen bases. Only two question marks can honestly trouble Notthatsambeckett at this point: First, the Postmodernists played in the least competitive division in the Expansion Cup, and beating up on the likes of the Bearers, the Saints, the Unspecifieds, and the Longshots does not exactly translate into a playoffs steamroller; Second, the Super-League is a far harsher environment than the EC, where a Doppel-Bangers Jr. might run into its conceptual parent, and be destroyed.  The Sub Pen Polyarny, Murmansk Oblast The Sub Pen will host games 3, 4, and 5 of this series.  First time owner gingemidget's Daydreamers did not emerge as playoff favorites until later in the year, when everyone realized they had an excellent pitching staff and the most powerful lineup in their division. While most non-DH teams are stereotypically associated with baserunning and defense, gingemidget took Earl Weaver's words to heart: Earl Weaver posted:Team speed, for chrissake! You get fuckin' goddamn little fleas on the fuckin' bases getting picked off, trying to steal, getting thrown out, taking runs away from you. You get them big cocksuckers that can hit the fuckin' ball out of the ballpark and you can't make any goddamn mistakes. Hit the loving ball out of the ballpark indeed. The Daydreamers led the pack with 181 home runs, most in the Taggart League. Now, power will meet speed, and regardless of the winner, the Goose Eggs are almost certainly doomed.  Trethowan Park Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria Trethowan Park will host games 1, 2, 6, and 7 of this series. Turd Ferguson posted:
