Rundown 4/3/2017

The first official LOL Hot Take Parlay, put us out of our bracket misery, and baseball finally kicks off, this week on the RunDown.


Hot Take Parlay

In a seemingly unrelated chain of events thejoestory takes the LOL league by scoring on the new Hot Takes Parlay, a new feature he wrote no fewer than 4 days prior to striking it big. Thejoestory quickly points out that 2 other legends hit the parlay as well but we are not buying this whole just a coincidence idea.

Unofficially this is the greatest 2 month ascension of the League of Legends standings from worst to first in 2 months. The designation is unofficial due to lack of historical LOL standings data, thus fueling the conspiracy theory fires.

The First official Hot Take Parlay was exciting. We selected three BLAZING HOT NBA Takes to kick it off. Spurs vs Thunder, Wizards vs. Jazz, and Rockets vs. Warriors. Some of legend banter back and forth from the epic Spurs vs. Thunder game.






March Madness

Tonight we end the misery known as League of Legends March Madness brackets. In a shocking outcome lexluthor may actually score some LOL points if the Zags can pull off an upset. A Double Down worth a max 200 points was created to let the other legends with dumpster fire brackets to at least participate in the Championship game.

Baseball Opening Night/Day

Ahhh yes, finally baseball season. Let's check the scoreboard to see how Legends fared on the kickoff Sunday games...Tower's team struggled out of the gate with a blistering -.83 points. However plenty of time for thejoestory's team to tank this week. PattyV was robbed on Sunday's Giants vs. Diamondbacks game. Madbum retired the first 16 batters went 7 strong and scored him 19.5 points. He also hit two monster Dongs that PattyV does not get credit for since pitchers batting stats do not count. Tough break kid.

Not even a week into the league and the STOVE IS BURNING LEGENDS. 

  • WarningTrackPower drops old man Granderson and picks up the beast child outfielder Aaron Judge. Dude is 6'7" 275 pounds. I remember one time Judge took his family to Sea World. They were watching Shamu the whale when Judge got splashed. So Judge yells, ‘I’m Aaron Judge and no one gets me wet!’ So he climbs into the tank, grabs Shamu, and throws the whale into the audience, splashes him and yells, ‘How do you like it?’ And then damn if Judge didn’t step in there and finish the show....wait that might have been Bill Bradsky
  • UnderHochevars picks up Michael Wacha in his quest to fill his entire rosters with Cardinals.
  • Expos - swoops in and snags Granderson. Expos current average UTIL player age is 37.5 years old (Beltran - 39 years, Granderson -36 years)


Get back on the Bus Triple A Players of The Week:
Opening Day edition





  • Gorkys Hernandez - with a name like Gorkys you gotta be good. 0/2 2 Ks to kick of the season. Eye on the ball Gorkys.
  • Kris Bryant - Apparently he had trouble seeing the ball in those beautiful icy steel blue eyes of his. 0/4, 3Ks including a K with the bases loaded in the 8th. Brutal.
  • Yasmany Tomas - WarningTrackPower's batters had 7 Strikeouts Sunday...Tomas had 3 of them. 

Basketball League Officially Over

The NBA season, at least for LOL, is officially over. Completing his end to end domination of the league Tower captures 1st place overall securing 500 bonus points in the process.  The front court duo  of John Wall and James Harden proved to be too much for the league to handle. Throw in Willy "dont call me billy" Hernangomez and you got a winning formula.

Willy appears to be enjoying himself here

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...

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...
