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 3/20/2017

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 ...
