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 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...

Rundown 4/17/2017

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...

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) ...
