"Mathman's not here." "Oh? Where is he?" "He's in the Mathroom."
I did propose bringing back the Vice City Goose Eggs with the teams I had picked in the last Expansion Cup, so I could leave off where I started. Felt like I should deal with the players I had picked, which means I've gotta deal with Troy Tulowitzki/Buddy Bell/Rance Mulliniks/Marty McManus :suicide:

"Mathman's not here." "Oh? Where is he?" "He's in the Mathroom."
BTW, I did mention earlier that when I had left the last Expansion Cup due to some RL bullcrap that was finally taken care of, I'd see if it was okay to return with the same team once my real life stuff was taken care of, as I thought it would be dirty pool to pick a whole new team. Since I'm back working and feel better about lots of stuff, these were the teams I had for the Vice City Goose Eggs:

Teams Selected:

1985 Toronto Blue Jays (3)
1921(will be replaced with 1922 pending league approval) St. Louis Browns (2)
1958 Detroit Tigers (2)
2008 Colorado Rockies (2)
1983 Texas Rangers (1)

Fortunately it seems none of them are on the list of teams, and none of my players were taken in the dispersal draft. If this is not okay, I will wait until I'm the final team and grab whatever is left.

However, since the 1922 St. Louis Browns are available, I will take them in place of the 1921 Browns since the rosters are the same. Again, only if that is fine with everyone.

"Mathman's not here." "Oh? Where is he?" "He's in the Mathroom."
: Motherfuckin' Colombians.

: Chill out, Milo. Look, we got the drat money back.

: Eventually.

: Well, yeah, but we got it back, and we taught the Colombians a very valuable lesson. Don't gently caress with a bunch of children with heavy weaponry.

: drat straight, bro. Made me realize I got a long way to go before I can manage a team just like the main man himself, ol' Charlie B.

: We got the money, and not only that, we got the team back. Just got off the horn with the league offices, and that Smasher Dynamo fella, he's just glad to have warm bodies in the league, so everything smells hunky dory now. At least I hope so. Anyway, if we're keepin' things the way they were before, this is what the team should look like:

"Mathman's not here." "Oh? Where is he?" "He's in the Mathroom."
The Vice City Goose Eggs are still in the market for upgrades at 2B(mainly) SS, and 3B. Mainly because Tulo and Bell's performances in the last Expansion Cup didn't exactly instill much confidence in them. I still could turn to RANCE in a pinch, though. McManus started getting serviceable starting in 1922, but serviceable would only take him so far.

"Mathman's not here." "Oh? Where is he?" "He's in the Mathroom."
Oh yeah, this thing!

Question 1

I want my team... C. To not completely suck.

Question 2

The core of a successful Super-League team is... B. Its pitching

Question 3

Your team is middling. But, if you take a certain risk, it may become a contender, or may be relegated after the season. If you do nothing, your team will probably survive, but certainly won't win a championship. Do you...

B. Hold off on the risk! They'll be time enough to perfect the team in the offseason!

Question 4

Is Marauder evil?

A. 'Good' and 'evil' are moral constructs that have little meaning inside the world of the Super-League, where cooperation is effectively impossible and one team's survival requires the death of another. To be 'good' in such a world is to be suicidal, to be 'evil' to merely desire to continue to live, and so the words lose all meaning. Yes, Marauder is 'evil', and we should all aspire to be so.

Question 5

The thesis of Moneyball is that it is incumbent on ballclubs to forever seek out market inefficiencies in order to give their team the best return on investment. What is the greatest market inefficiency in the Super-League today?

D. If I know what it is, wouldn't it be important for me not to publicize that information?


Question 6

My team sucks. What the gently caress went wrong? A. I hosed up.

Question 7

The best player of all time was... E. Barry Bonds

Question 8

My ideal castle is... D. Inside a mountain, mostly hidden from view and wholly impregnable for any would wish to take it from me.

Question 9

The biggest Hall of Fame Snub is... C. Jeff Bagwell

Question 10

The best sci-fi franchise is... A. Star Trek

Question 11

Should Chicago forgive Steve Bartman? C. You're totally going to kill all of teams that picked 'yes', aren't you?

Question 12

If the Sun is one, and the Moon is two, then what is the Earth? D. Thursday

Question 13

Will the new season of Community suck? C. Hey, Community already had something like 70 episodes! Where I come from, that's an insanely long run for a show!

Question 14

Out of all of the idiotic characters Smasher has created, the one I'd want most on my team is... D. Is death an option? It is? Then I'll choose death.

Question 15

What was the point of this? C. Smasher's trying to get inside our heads! Don't you understand, this is all part of his evil plan! We must stop him!

Bonus Essay Question

You are John Constitution. The year is 2687 and the world is once again in crisis. The raiders of New Dakota have stolen the Master Infosphere of Third Milwaukee. With the city only five days away from crashing into Lake Huron-Michigan, it is up to you to retrieve the Infosphere.

Making matters worse, one raider captured in the attack has revealed that he and his associates were working for Cardinal Severn, the sovereign lord of NeoCanada. Clearly, by destroying Milwaukee he hopes that the passes of Sault Ste. Marie will be left unguarded and his robo-legions will easily be able invade and occupy the entire region.

To the best of your knowledge, the raiders are currently making their way across the rad plains of Iowa, inhabited solely by commutants, a vicious breed of degenerates who have adopted Marxism in order to cope with the harsh realities of living in such a blasted land.

What do you do? What do you do?

For the purposes of this question, assume that your Hover-Mazda has been fully repaired after the Rockford incident.

: He'll be back. You can't get rid of a Terminator that easily.

: Considering who else we have in our bullpen right now, we might not have a choice but to bring a different Tom Henke in. Now we need to pull off a big deal to replace McManus and we're good to go. Probably.

: *sigh* just use the same lineup and pitching staff as in my last lineup/rotation post. As long as that generated guy isn't up we're fine. This has become a disaster. Just use Tony Fernandez in Tulowitzki's spot until Tulo is healthy.

Vice City Goose Eggs

We made it! Holy poop! Effort post later! In the meantime, in case the first round goes out while I'm at work:

Rotation should be:

#1 Jim Bunning
#2 Urban Shocker
#3 Doug Fister
#4 Frank Tanana
Mopup: Dave Stieb

Switch Ubaldo Jimenez with Rick Honeycutt in the bullpen.

Draft preferences:
2nd round - 2nd baseman
3rd round - best pitcher available

If either the Goose Eggs or Postmodernists want to post an adjusted lineup, now's the time.

: Sup. Anyway, I have no idea how the Goose Eggs made the finals, but who am I to question fate?

: We pretty much rule. That's how.

: Maybe we do. Still, a bit of luck never hurt. Sure as hell feels good to come from the brink of a possible death all the way to a championship. Anyway, since we have the pick of the Sonics, we've come to a decision:

If we win(Note: I think this is how the selection is going to work), the Vice City Goose Eggs take CF '62 Willie Mays, which will mean we'll trade Indian Bob Johnson for a starting pitcher and '85 Dave Stieb for a hopeful upgrade at second base.

If we lose, we will take SP '62 Juan Marichal, and flip '85 Dave Stieb for a second baseman. We need a man to talk some sense into the cartels, and Ubaldo Jimenez simply cannot cut it.

Rosters will come after the Expansion Cup finals!

If Smasher's assumption is correct then Juan Marichal is hardly a bad booby prize. Let's just hope his assumption is not correct!

Anyway for those needing pitching and having excess second baseman, '85 Dave Stieb can be yours!

Maybe the defense isn't exactly helping, but Jim Bunning's killing me in the rotation right now. It does look like it's time to panic when he looks more like Mike Pelfrey than a Hall of Fame pitcher.

And by panic, I mean possibly using a ratings challenge. Might be a bad roll.

: Okay, folks, it looks like we're gonna need a little bit of help, and we're not the only ones. Smasher's got writer's block when it comes to the CYOA, and we really don't want Smasher to finish that CYOA so he can write funny jokes and injury reports and all that good stuff. In fact, if it gets really bad, we might have to resort to desperate measures.

It's time to get the ball rolling on trades, and first of all, we have the following dudes on the block: '22 LF Ken Williams, '08 1B Todd Helton, '08 LF Matt Holliday, '35 CF Bob Johnson. What we're looking for in return are: Left fielder, catcher, shortstop, third baseman, maybe even a center fielder. Good defense is a plus! Are we looking to move draft picks? Not exactly. If the Mudholes have started to come around then there's always that risk that we might end up with a killer draft pick, so it's going to have to take a killer offer to get our picks away from us. If we make the proper moves, then more trading is to come!

Not enough time for effort post, but probably time to decide what I want to do with the first round pick. I don't know!

Urban Shocker's still struggling. I do need offense, but on the other hand Baby Pedro Martinez is available at #13 so grab him if he's there. If not, same strategy applies. I'll change my mind a few times before the draft, I think.

Oh yeah, make Hank Severeid the full time catcher with Ernie Whitt as Doug Fister's personal catcher. Sim will likely be run before I get home so just slip Hank in where Whitt bats in the batting order.
