Can you blame a guy for wanting Lonnie Smith and Charlie Liebrandt?

Alright, let's get this in so I can ignore it for a few weeks until the EC starts or whatever.

TEAM NAME: Motorville Mites
LOGO:

MASCOT:

HOME CITY: The Fairy Ground
HOME STADIUM: Mr. Drippy Field. I'll see if I want to cook a ballpark after the EC. For now, put them in Busch Stadium circa 1987.
DH PREFERENCE: No DH for meaningful games. For the EC, I'd like everyone to be DH since it allows us to learn about 1 more hitter on our rosters. But whatever works for you.

Is the integration booster really "first for each team?"

Because "first black players in MLB" is a separate list, and includes Paige and Mays, whereas "first for each team" doesn't.

Trip report: buying groceries with Cthulhu

He went straight the produce section and started carefully squeezing and inspecting all the fruits and vegetables.

There were several that looked perfectly edible and delicious, and strong candidates for a nice fruit salad.

"This strawberry bunch has one tiny one with a brown leaf," he said. Then he went over to the apples.
"This lovely apple has a small bruise on it," he said. Then he went over to the kiwis.
"This kiwi lacks the proper scrotal shape," he said. Then he went over to the watermelons.
"This watermelon has a weird seed:flesh ratio," he said. Then he went over to the frozen aisle.
"All the best fruits and vegetables are already gone, and I refuse to have a flawed product," he said. Then he bought whatever godawful frozen pizza for one they sell in Australia.

"I hate this gross pizza," he said. "Maybe next time there will be the proper fruits and vegetables that allow me to participate in the community."
Then like 4 other people came in and made nice fruit salads out of the very same rejects.

Another option would be to just use the feeders as is and not try to suggest different feeder options than what is in the list. If you can't make a sufficient team based on what is available, you're probably just looking at the wrong feeders.

Besides, didn't Cthulhu cajole into reclassifying one of the feeders for Trump Baseball into being a 2 point instead of 3 point or somesuch? Only to watch it crash and burn anyway?

If you are in the Super League to WIN, you are doing it wrong. Nobody wins. Well, one team wins. But their prize is death once they face the Macho Men. The Super League is about fun and weird baseball poo poo, creative writing, and talking poo poo to fellow owners even while not being that successful yourself*

Just make a loving team, Cthulhu.

(Also I'm working on one of my HS friends to join. Seems interested, less so in having to be on SA in TYOOL 2017.)
