TWILOLB 5/31/2016

Our latest installment of TWILOLB with special guest host Clayton "The Peyton Manning of Baseball" Kershaw.

Epic Showdown of the Week

This week's ESOTW saw a throw down between UnderHochevars vs. Here's My Donation. Unconfirmed reports from the Donation camp that the manager was at the lake all weekend and wasn't even sure the showdown was this close.

UnderHochevars left the gates strong with a 25 point lead after Monday play. However this screenshot of UnderHochevars lineup should speak for itself:


Decimated by injuries and excuses UnderHochevars was somehow able to maintain the lead all week. The official Crap Your Bed Day (Sponsored by Domino's) in the matchup was Thursday with UnderHochevars hanging a mere 23.08 total points on the board. However not to be outdone was Here's My Donation's 10.75 total Thursday points. With solid Saturday and Sunday showings Here's My Donation pulled within 13 points. UnderHochevars was able to hold off the Sunday charge with a pair of decent pitchers scoring a victory 293.84 - 280.25, moving UnderHochevars to 4-4 on the year.


Get on the Bus Triple A Players of the week.


Pitchers
  • David Robertson - HvuSnMyBall - 0.2 IP -2.33 points 6 ER, Ahh yes the Meltdown vs the Royals. It was a thing of beauty.
  • Erasmo Ramierz - Here's My Donation - 1.1 IP -1.67 points. Second Whitesox pitcher on the bus this week and another victim of the Royals, blasted for 4ER in the Bottom of the 8th ending with a 414 ft blast by Hoz.
  • Mike Fiers - 3.2 IP 7 ER, pounded for 7 runs vs the Angels on Friday.
Erasmo No Bueno



Batters

  • Michael Conforto - Expos - 1 for 12 with a single. .237 OPS during this stretch. I could get a .237 OPS just showing up to the ballpark.
  • Erick Aybar - SkippyJonJones - 3/11 this week for 1.75 points. He got hit by a pitch on Friday in the foot with Xrays negative. Begged to be put on the DL so he doesn't have to play a few games. Can't say I blame him, after all he does play for the Braves.
  • Billy Burns - Tower of Power - 3/21 for 2.25 total points. Can't say Billy hasn't been hustlin though.
    Billy Burns seen here hustling.

Hot Stove Moves of the week



  • Underhochaevars picks up Matt "Serious Face Pictures" Cain for his May 27th start vs Colorado. Cain has a serious outing netting 1.67 points in 1.2 innings of work and is now on the DL. Gotta stretch that hammy Cain.
  • PattyV picks up Hector Santiago for his 5/25 start against Texas. Hector then picks up -0.17 points in a solid 2.1 IP. Attaboy Hector.
  • Tyler White Heat Check - Owned Percentage up to 13%. The news is traveling fast about this kid from Houston. 11 points in the past 4 days, that speaks for itself. HvuSnMyBall can now call the White for Greg Holland move a good one. The sky is the limit at this point.

Matt Cain and his Spirit Animal.

Rundown 6/12/2017 - Jcomp edition

It was a big week across the athletic landscape as several sports and collegiate softball crowned champions. Nadal finished an all-time great run through the French Open, the Penguins won the Stanley Cup, and Lebron ended talk of the Warriors and an undefeated postseason. Meanwhile, Patty took the LOL season lead for all of 36 hours until TJS could finish his 100 hour work week and get back to his computer to “adjust” the scoring. We’re 12 days into the second streak month of the LOL year. I feel a bit like Bob Gibson probably felt in 69 after the whiners got their way and the rules were changed. Luckily enough we’re entering prime Cricket season which, outside of Russian Basketball, is my sweetspot. You guys better get ready for a load of Chris Gayle Hot Takes. Triple Frown We’ve seen six different horses win the six triple crown races since American Pharoah in 2015. While being a borderline sports degenerate is a necessity in the League of Legends, do any of us really care abou

Bulls and Bears

Legends I was out mowing Friday and like any normal Legend was thinking of a new contest for the league. A few months back....(just checked it was September 2014, time has flown) I created a site called ClosingBell. It was apart of the League of Legends version 2.0 (technically we are playing on LOL v 3.0). Anyway ClosingBell was a stock pickem game where you picked the price of 5 stocks daily and you pick a closing day price. If you were within +- a certain percentage of the price you set than you got points for that pick. It was a daily thing, and a little complicated. Anyway, while mowing I was thinking there should be an easier way to make a stock pickem game for the legends. Thus the idea for Bulls and Bears was born. Here is the rough idea: Before the Monday opening bell Legends will pick 2 stocks.  Bull Stock - legends will pick a stock they think will rise this week Bear Stock - legends will pick a stock they think will fall this week Friday close prices are recorded

MLS League Moving

Yahoo Fantasy MLS League is garbage. jcomp found MLSsoccer.com has a fantasy league as well. At first glance it is mile ahead of Yahoo. We are trying out the league this weekend with plans to probably move the league to MLSSoccer.com. If you want to try it out this weekend give it a go. URL: http://fantasy.mlssoccer.com/ League Code: 28046-5323 Go to Leagues, create and join enter the code. Some cool features. You can autopick the team right off the bat. Nice feature. Then you can back fill the players you want. Captain - you can assign a team captain. This player's points are doubled. I thought this was pretty cool. Anyway give it a go and get signed up. If all goes well then we will abandon the yahoo league for the new MLSSoccer.com league.
