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

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) ...

TWILOLB

It's time for our first installment (possibly only) of TWILOLB (This week in LOL Baseball). We find ourselves already 7 weeks into the season, quarter of the way through. Where has the time gone? Epic Showdown of the Week Warning Track Power vs. Stump Grinder's A showdown of epic proportions. 2004 Red Sox vs Yankees. 1997 Florida Marlins vs Cleveland Indians. You get the gist. Stump Grinder's, after a slow week 1, the hottest team in the league with the highest total points. WarningTrackPower searching for his 4th league title in a row off to an undefeated start. Heading into Sunday WTP was down by 71 and needed a miracle. That miracle's name was Gerrit " The Cubs are Not that Good " Cole with a game hotter than this week's Cubs take. WTP had 4 starters combine for 70.33 points and a Kimbrel 2K save to power past SG on the final day of the matchup. WTP totaled 110.08 points on Sunday to grasp the victory from SGs curiously strong clutches. ...

COUSIN VINNY’S LEAGUE OF LEGENDS WEEK 1 PICKS

COUSIN VINNY’S LEAGUE OF LEGENDS WEEK 1 PICKS Stump Grinder’s @ Warning Track Power The Grinder’s are led by an All Star cast of outfielders and should live up to their name with a bunch of gritty ball players. Warning Track Power is banking on MLB juicing the ball even more so it flies all the way out of the park. They will lean on their mashers. On the bump the Grinder’s roll out a strong collection of power arms. WTP is led by Thor acquired from the Grinder’s in the offseason and are hoping their strong bullpen will help once Greinke's arm finally falls off. Cousin Vinny says: Stump Grinder’s (-3) Prediction: Grinder’s 8 WTP 4 Expos @ UnderHochevars Will this be the year Trevor Story finally breaks out because if he does he will pair nicely with Bregman on that side of the infield. Hosmer and LeMahieu on the other side will balance out all of the K’s those two may rack up. UH trots out a collection of proven consistent bats hoping guys like Santana, Bruce, and ...
