RunDown 9/5/2017: Almost 3 whole months

Legends its been almost 3 whole months since the last League Of Legends post. Teams are settling in, thejoestory has taken his spot right near the top of the overall standings, Tower has been going on and on about how he wins the leagues, and EvulMonkey has made his annual week 1 NFL lineup change followed by 14 weeks of nothingness.

That's right legends fall is around the corner, CFB has kicked off and NFL starts this week. Football season is back. Let's dive into the rundown.

Baseball

Baseball Playoffs have started leaving some legends to ask...we are playing baseball. Yes legends indeed we are quickly winding down another season of Baseball. Eight teams of champions have made it thus far and are battling for the coveted Baseball league bonus modifiers. If you ask Tower the bonus points are in the bag.



TJS Prediction: Hits for K's vs Lime in the Coconut championship showdown for all the points. Hits for K's has defeated the Coconuts twice this season and should make it 3-0 to win the league.

Might I remind you Hits for K's is essentially my team due to the Baseball Draft Bamboozle of 2017 where Kranhold curiously selected each one of my players right before my pick. A practice we now call kranholding. Call it what you want says Kranhold, I call it winning.

Royals Watch

Wow what happened to the Royals in August? Yowzers. They look about as bad as PattyV's MLS team.The Hot Take was OU 76.5 games, with 26 games remaining and only 9 wins needed to hit the over the Royals should get er done. Not a whole lot at stake for legends since every legend voted the Royals would hit the over.

TJS Prediction: 9 wins in 26 games remaining. The Royals should make it to 77 wins easily.

Baylor Football

That loss to Liberty in week 1 for the Baylor Bears was bad. So bad in fact it prompted Legend Tower to suggest a hot take for Total Losses. After looking at the schedule it seemed at least 8 losses remained for the Bears so the OU was set for 7.5. That will be on our legends watch list for the next few weeks.

Baylor is in a must win game against the Road Runners...let that sink in a bit. If they end of up losing to San Antonio this weekend they could almost run the table in losses this year. Fortunately they play the KU Jayhawks so there is at least one chance at a victory.

Of course KU is coming off a marquee win against Southeast Missouri State. If Cape Girardeau can't draw in the power house recruits, I don't know who can. This game was a 1 possession game in the First Quarter somehow...

Anywho we got off course. Baylor looking to somehow eek out a couple wins. If they lose to the Road Runners I think you have to start firing people.

TJS Prediction: Take the over here for sure. If they lose to Road Runners its an Iron Clad Over LOCK.

NFL Draft

Another LOL draft, another draft where thejoestory is projected to win the league, and thus after a few weeks another season of disappointment for thejoestory, champ of the offseason. Again Tower all but claiming he'll win the NFL championship again this year. "The Leagues, make the Leagues worth more points".

The draft was a little different this year with the Keeper system. This 2QB has got to go. League of Legends NFL Draft quote of the night was from jonsorens "It shows Tom Brad is already selected" ...yeah this is a keepers league..."Did I set any keepers" no doesn't look like you did..."Was I supposed to?"...and thus we kicked off season 4 NFL draft.

No big surprises. The Projections look to make both divisions a Dog Fight for first place. 5 Teams projected within a couple losses. However the projections are usually wrong, a lot can happen during a football season: concussions, bone breaks, felony battery charges, DUIs, etc.

TJS Prediction: Too early to predict champion. These 4 teams will make the playoffs: PattyV, Tower, Kranhold, thejoestory.

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...

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...
