Rundown 3/20/2017

Welcome to the League of Legends rundown. A weekly (hopefully) rundown of all the sweet action from the real League of Legends (not that nerdy computer game). Season 3 is well under way with several leagues already started.

Baseball Draft This Weekend


We are days away from the baseball draft. The Draft Order has been set.

Round 1
1. HvuSnMyBball
2. Expos
3. UnderHochevars
4. WarningTrackPower
5. PhilliesPhanInKC
6. Josh's Team
7. PattyV
8. Here s My Doonation
9. Hits for Ks
10. Stump Grinder's
11. Matt's Team
12. Tower of Power


Talk about a first pick waste. I doubt HvuSnMyball even shows up for the draft. Trout will spend the summer wasting away on a team out of it by April...actually this seems pretty true to life. Hopefully HvuSnMyBall lands Pujols as well.




Results from my first Mock draft sitting in the 4 slot.
1. Kris Bryant (ChC - 1B,3B,OF)
2. Xander Bogaerts (Bos - SS)
3. Freddie Freeman (Atl - 1B)
4. Giancarlo Stanton (Mia - OF)
5. Jonathan Villar (Mil - 2B,3B,SS)
6. Matt Kemp (Atl - OF)
7. Evan Longoria (TB - 3B)
8. Justin Turner (LAD - 3B)
9. Odubel Herrera (Phi - OF)
10. Mark Melancon (SF - RP)
11. Matt Harvey (NYM - SP)
12. Yasmani Grandal (LAD - C)
13. Andrew Miller (Cle - RP)
14. Jake Odorizzi (TB - SP)
15. Jerad Eickhoff (Phi - SP)
16. Alex Cobb (TB - SP)
17. Tyson Ross (Tex - SP)
18. Neftali Feliz (Mil - RP)
19. Carlos Beltrán (Hou - OF)
20. Melky Cabrera (CWS - OF)
21. Nick Castellanos (Det - 3B)
22. Starlin Castro (NYY - 2B)
23. Brandon Moss (KC - 1B,OF)

First Impressions

  • Wonder how many dongs Stanton will blast this year? 
  • Matt Kemp will play 40 games tops. 
  • Oh look I got Grandal too...no thanks
  • Matt Harvey is on the trading block right now. 
  • I got old man Beltran!!!
     
  • Pitching looks a little suspect, but my infield looks decent. 
  • What no Starling Marte!!! Travesty
We'll have to see how it plays out Sunday night.

March Madness

Three cheers for the first annual..."My Bracket is a Dumpster Fire before Round 2" Award. Kranhold showed all legends how not to fill out a bracket.


Not sure which is worse, Kranhold's bracket or the fact that he is only 7 picks out of second place. Dumpster fires all over the legends' brackets this year. 

Streak

Super long streak then slow play is the strategy for Streak this month, according to current streak leader Jcomp. He didn't even need to first day free win to dominate the field. You know you are doing something right when they change the rules because of you. The next couple streak months will have the following changes to scoring.
  • 30 pick minimum for streak points to count
  • 1000 points for longest streak of the month and then graduated points for remaining legends
  • 1000 points for the highest win pct for the month and then graduated points for remaining legends
  • 100 point bonus for legend with the most wins for the month
This will reward the legend that has the longest streak as well as the legend that has sustained success throughout the month.

Rundown 3/27/2017

The fires are out, the dust has settled, the League of Legends Baseball draft is complete. Chiefs617 shows us how to almost be a basketball champion in 7 weeks, Final few days of streak, and more in this edition of the Run Down. Almost Champion Chiefs617 has had an impressive 7 week stretch in NBA. Ownership changed hands Feb 1st as Sonderman evacuated his post as legend prior to Season 3 starting. From that moment on Josh's Mediocre Team buzz sawed through the competition with an impressive 6 game winning streak including wins against the top 3 teams. His luck ran out this week in the playoffs against Quebec Kids setting the stage for an epic showdown between Tower of Power and Quebec Kids for NBA league champion. The season series is split 1-1 so it should be an epic match up. March Madness Dumpster Fire We have a whole pile of dumpster fire legend brackets. Who will rise above the ashes to take first place? If UNC wins then thejoestory and PattyV will own the top 2 s...

Rundown 5/1/2017

Welcome legends to the RunDown May Day 2017 Edition. Commish goes on a boat, First Leg of the Triple Crown, and more in this week's edition of the Run Down Triple Crown We kick off the first leg of the Triple Crown showdown. Early odds are posted on the site. Go pick your horses and get ready for the most exciting 2 minutes of the first weekend in May (assuming your life is pretty boring the first weekend in May). http://www.thejoestory.com/lol/triplecrown Cruisin I am back on dry ground legends. If vacation taught us anything it taught us that I should just leave my baseball team alone. Let my team cruise (get it...yuck yuck) into first place dominance and just stop making moves. Took the family on our first cruise last week. First night of the cruise had me sicker than Noah Syndergaard owners today. Never spewed but first night had me thinking never cruise again. By day 2 it was a lot better and we had a great trip. Enough of that already how about some baseball. Hot S...

The Baseball HOT STOVE IS ON FIRE, a new legend emerges, and much more on this weeks' RunDown. New Legend We had a new legend emerge on the scene this week, giving League of Legends a test spin, checking out what it's all about. Everyone extend a warm legend welcome to Josh Dorr, AKA Dorrknob. Coach Dorr seems legit already racking up some points in MLS. Only true legends score points in MLS. Welcome board Josh. This ups our Legend Josh Count to a solid 2. HOT STOVE MOVES OF THE WEEK Legends we haven't seen a HOT STOVE like this in the long storied history of League of Legends Baseball. If it were not for, how should I say it, a Stalinisticish like Transaction Limit of 10 the STOVE would go NORTH KOREAN NUCLEAR. You can translate that how you wish cause the commish doesn't really have a good bead on foreign affairs but the Kim Dong Jong dude is blowing up missles and throwing parades. Ervin Santana SP, picked up by Lime in the Coconut, POW! 32.5 point outin...
