Rundown 5/9/2017

Baseball, the horses, "Playoffs Playoffs" and much more. Like LOL's favorite rapper says "Better late than never, but never late is better", here is this week's edition of the RunDown. 

Tower literally tried to kill me yesterday suggesting a 16 mile bike ride, in a seemingly obvious move to take me out before winning back to back to back LOL championships. Didn't work legends, like we say here in LOL you can't coach grit. I am gritting out this blog post with tender loins and tired legs.

Horses

Would have had about the same luck picking Papanick in the Derby this weekend. His father was a mudder, his mudder was a mudder. Sloppy course and a wide open field hampered the legends picks this weekend. The only successful legend on the Derby pickem was Gras who went with American Dream to win it all netting him 500 points.
Right pocket holds some clues to Gras' success


Playoffs, Playoffs

Not sure why we are delaying the inevitable Cavs/Warriors finals rematch. Latest Legend add Dorrknob picked the Raptors to win. I think we'll chalk it up to him learning how to use the hot takes website still getting used to clicking and such. That or knowing my code it could have been a bug in the code. 

NHL playoffs will feature 2 Game 7s Wednesday night. Hard to beat playoff Game 7 hockey. 

Baseball

The HOT STOVE Tool is still in development. Yahoo does some crazy stuff with their JSON transaction feed so I'm weeding through that as quickly as I can. If any legends want to learn Python let me know and I will help you get ramped up so you an help me.

I'd say the early contender for bone head drop of the year would be yours truly dropping Aaron Judge. Just hoping pitchers stop piping fastballs and through him some junk soon. 

On the Bus to Triple A

  • Ryan Braun - PhilliesPhanInKC, Having a week -0.25 points and a drip to the Day-to-Day status. More like Day-to-Not Going to Play today
  • Carlos Gonzales - Lime in the Coconut. Scoring .75 points 1/16 with 5Ks
  • Fancisco Rodriguez - RP StumpGrinders - FRod has owners shouting f-bombs this week. -4.00 points on 2.0 IP, 2L, 5ER, and 2BSVs...ouch
  • Brandon Kintzler RP - WarningTrackPower - "At least he is not in the negative points" Brandon sporting a 0.00 points with 2IP, 3ER, and 1BSV under his belt.
America's Hero

Time for our weekly check in with America Hero Outfielder. Yasiel Puig is scorching hot with 22 points on 8/22, 7 Singles, 1 Dong, and 6 steak dinners. One thing not on the score sheet is Puig's gunning down of Joe Panik trying to stretch a single into a double. 
Of course Aramis Ramierz couldn't put the tag on quick enough so Panik is safe. Puig saunters slowly back to his position with just a flip of the glove.

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...

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...
