It's Time - New TCF Strat-O League (90's themed)

[swerb]

Somebody needs to post screen shots of the nightly results or something. There's no way I can make proper fun of people at this pace.

At least not for their Strato results.

Right now FUDU is 5-1

Al, who doesn't even understand the simplest concept of how the game is played, is leading my division at 4-2.

I'm 2-4.

So, obviously, there has been some kind of virus or bad code or something affecting the game results.

The only thing that makes sense right now is Swerb leading his division, which only makes a little bit of sense when you consider that he had no choice but to spend 87% of his cap on Barry Bonds and surround him with a bunch of Kevin Bass/Rich Aurelia type players. Terry Fucking Mullholland is anchoring his staff for Christ sake.

This game is stupid

This is by far the worst starting rotation I've ever had on a Strat team.

My five hole hitter is Kevin Bass. I already know I have one of Matt Williams "meh" cards.

Bonds and the bullpen. We'll see what happens. This team is growing on me a little. Of course, one sweep and I'll hate them.

Oh and Peeker...

Yourself, go fuck.

I'm actually 5-1. I swept the greek god of strat, all 1-run games.

Thats what she said

[e0y2e3]

There is no way Al and Mother aren't related, it's just not possible. Al has to be the semi-competant big brother of the moron dentist or something.

[peeker643]

Al has to be the semi-competant big brother......

That's easily the nicest thing you've ever said about Al.

Or anyone actually.

Made me misty.

[FUDU]

[e0y2e3]

I mean, AL is every bit the nob mother is, but he *atleast* has that "brings something to the table and follows the minor leagues for us* thing going for him. Mother is just, well, useless.

[peeker643]

That's why I'm sad that mother doesn't write anything any more.

That column gave his idiocy a purpose.

Now he's just a garden-variety idiot.

(No offense moscratcher)

[e0y2e3]

I dunno, I read that column once and I felt my brain cells dying.

[peeker643]

I dunno, I read that column once and I felt my brain cells dying.

You read it more than once.

And I loved that column. It was like two old alzheimer patients arguing with each other yet it was just one writer!!

[e0y2e3]

Do you think mother's parents just locked him in the basement out of shame for the duration of his childhood?

[pup]

Do you think mother's parents just locked him in the basement out of shame for the duration of his childhood?

He probably did it for them. Stoopid door locks.

[peeker643]

Depends on when they recognized what they had on their hands.

If they were sharp they never brought him home from the hospital.

[motherscratcher]

What the fuck?

What happened here?

If I didn't know how cool you guys really think I am you would have hurt my feelings here.

[peeker643]

Please don't ask me to split the mother-bashing from this thread into another one because there'd be two posts here and you'd hate the name of the thread I started to house these posts.

I don't have a name in mind but you should probably know it'd be somewhat derogatory.

[peeker643]

What the fuck?

What happened here?

If I didn't know how cool you guys really think I am you would have hurt my feelings here.

And by the way, just so there's no question, you're one of my top 3 all-time favorite TCF board members.

Macphisto and dnosco are still just ahead of ya, but you're in the mix.

We'll drink a beer at the draft party. I'll buy. Then we're even.

[e0y2e3]

If you took The Phist and choked off his air supply for a solid fifteen minutes then brought him back to life you'd get mother.

[peeker643]

If you took The Phist and choked off his air supply for a solid fifteen minutes then brought him back to life you'd get mother.

The Phist was unintentionally funny. In fact, he probably cried himself to sleep at night if someone laughed at him.

They both share the same mastery of technology though.




ETA- If I choked the life out of MacPhisto there' be no way, reason or inclination for trying to bring him back to life.

[motherscratcher]

I've heard you talk about Macphisto before, but he was before my time here. He must have been pretty cool dude if you are comparing him to me.

You guys must have really liked him.

[peeker643]

Where are the goddamn nightly results for this league?!?!?!?!

Assholes.

[Cerebral_DownTime]

We loved him so much he couldn't take it and he bailed.

Once he played touch football with Mitt Romney. Dude was a jack off all trades, he could tell you how wrong all your opinions are while teaching you something valuable in the process.

And he was the world champion with nunchuks.

[gotribe31]

I have the worst bullpen in the history of organized baseball. Also, I somehow got the Lee Stevens that played for the Indians after the Bartolo Colon deal. He was hitting below .100 going into this mornings games against Swerb.

[FUDU]

Big game tonight peeker between the Tribe and Orioles.

Tonight is the ring presentation from last year's WS and mo's first shot at revenge.

Do you want me to sign you up for FREE text, email and phone call updates through my strat app?

Up to the minute updates of any game you want, you can feel like your are a part of the live action.

Or do you just want me to call you around 4am so you know just what foot to start your day on?

None of you technological giants can give the updates in here daily? Is there that much shame? I can't see anything other than the league I was in from that link above.

If you call me I will blow a whistle in your ear. So feel free to call at least twice.

[motherscratcher]

Swerb Giants are still in front of his division at a legit 15-9.

Als Rangers are leading my division with a 14-10 record, despite all manner is nincompoopery. I'm still not convinced Al knows the season started.

I'm in Als division in last place with a 9-15 record. This despite the fact that I've score 2 more runs than I've given up...the same as Al.

Jumbos Yankees lead all teams with a 16-8 record. FUDUs Orioles are an even 12-12, but I have to grudgingly admit that his team is performing better than that.

The most wonderful surprise of the season, thus far, is Madre, who is managing the Braves. You know, the Braves with the best record of the 90s? And Madre, the asshat who couldn't be bothered to get his team in on time, delaying us for an entire week? Yeah him.

He's 4-20. That's almost impossible. In 24 games he has scored 57 runs and given up 147. It's astounding. The only disappointing thing is that it will come to an end soon. It has to. This cannot persist, no matter how much we all want it to.

[FUDU]

Om def. So blow away you blower you.

I took 2 of 3 from the Red Sox last night, managed by one of the Tarzan's of the strat world.

Overall the 3 strat Gods are not having much such success, yet.

Jumbo is doing well with the Yankees, Madre not so much at 4-20 with the Braves. Watch Rich no hit him tonight.

[swerb]

Gonna rest some guys tonight with Madre's 4-20 Braves in town. Going with the Marvin Bernard, Darren Lewis, and Deion Sanders outfield. Prime Time in the leadoff spot.

Nope, it's the Dodgers in first at 15-9. Why? We've allowed the second-fewest earned runs. It ain't our league-average offense!

That makes it my division, not Al's. For the moment.

And the difference between you and the Rangers is their 7-1 record in one-run games and your 2-7 mark in such contests.

[motherscratcher]

Mea culpa - GHCS is correct. He is leading the division ahead of both me and Al, which does in fact make it his division.

I made that post off the top of my head. I just remembered Als record because it pisses me off.

What?

[FUDU]

LOL.

[gotribe31]

Lee Stevens has an OPS of .294. Read that again...OPS. Not batting average, OPS. How is that even possible? I'm relatively sure that I could drag my ass into the batters box in the majors right now, bad back and all, and post a .350 OPS.

[FUDU]

Fernando Valenzuela, at age 51, is posting and ERA of 1.82, and has a WHIP of .64. Not to mention is making $1,590,000.

[Madre Hill, Superstar]

[swerb]

Classic. Swept by the 4-20 Braves, and no hit by Smoltz.

Yeah...can't say I saw that one coming. Wasn't Smoltz's ERA over 10 going into that game?

[motherscratcher]

Fun fact: since Swerb's embarrassing performance last night, Madre is now 7-20...and outperforming his expected W/L by 2 games.

Meanwhile, just in case anyone didn't notice, I beat FUDU 2 out of 3 last night. And he was lucky to win 1.

[GodHatesClevelandSport]

Bravos injured four Giants in one game, too. Guess they were pissed.

[peeker643]

Now it's real!!!

That's awesome. Not for you, of course. But for everyone not named you.

Be so much better were it FUDU on the other end of Madre's sweep.

[Jumbo]

Bravos injured four Giants in one game, too. Guess they were pissed.

And I have the Giants next.

Looking forward to taking on the double play combo of Deion Sanders and Mark Lewis.

[FUDU]

Classic night of strat.

Rich gets FUDU'd on top of the embarrassing sweep and injuries.

Meanwhile mo always has an excuse for why he couldn't get a sweep.

The good part about my rampant injuries, I pretty much know which cards I am using for 5 of my 9 offensive regulars now. Got a good card for Kent, pretty good card for Matt Williams, Aurilia's best card, Manwarings best card (not saying much), and likely one of Kevin Bass's better cards.

And Terry Effing Mulholland and Jason Schmidt are pitching like '01 Big Unit and Curt Schilling.

No one eating fried chicken and drinking beer in my clubhouse. My guys are focused. And pissed after the no-no by Smoltzie and the ensuing embarrassing sweep by Madre.

[Madre Hill, Superstar]

I was this close to ditching Smoltz / Smith and going with Maddux and a five-man and this happens.

Now I guess Smoltz will go back to 10+ ERA for the next six games just to spite me.

[FUDU]

FYI peeker, last two nights I've swept the White Sox (run by strat god) and took 2 of 3 from some high powered banker running a team in San Fran.

I knew when you posted you had to have had a decent night or two.

Otherwise you're as rare as a $3 bill around here.

[FUDU]

I knew when you replied it was something completely negative or in envy.

Typical pe0e2k3er.

[tbone]

Here you go, Peeker.

I've had starts comparable to this but never keep it going.

My pitching's gotta get it together. Both Clemens (9.13mil, 3-3 6.59 ERA/1.67WHIP) and Dave Stewart (3.17m 3-4, 6.52/1.75) have each recently survived their "if you blow this, you're gone" start, all the while being out-pitched by my .99m, 4th (of a 4-man rotation) starter Stottlemyre.

Delgado for MVP!
