Hey, look at my VC. Maybe he's getting healthy.
E Team says:
Great. Tom hasn't gotten to 150 in three straight matches, now he's gettin' 40's from guys who weren't even on anyone's roster 24 hours ago.
How nice.
E Team says:
I love this. You guys have to check this out.
Stacy comes snarling out of his coma this last weekend, talking smack and determined to retake the helm of his team for the stretch run.
Like the 19th Century American madman William Walker trying to take over Nicaragua, he fails to reinvent the supplemental draft, then tries to replace the previously injured Boozer for Match 30, but he can't manage to get a blogpost off in time and his team - with Boozer - snaps a two-match slide.
Then he acts forcefully for Match 31, pulling Boozer (56) in favor of KLove (20). He now needs a 50 from Amare Wednesday night to defeat the woeful Schittslinger.
Here's the best part. Remember, Stacy failed to submit a lineup before the Match 1 deadline, so he was assigned the first six players he drafted that would constitute a legitimate team. He won.
He rallied in Match 2, submitted a lineup, and lost.
He then refrained from making a single change in his lineup for the next 25 matches, going 15-10 (.600) and moving solidly into playoff position.
Then, in a crucial back-to-back against the fourth-place E Team, he either failed to acknowlege or failed to notice the Boozer injury - essentially mismanaging - and lost two straight.
That set the stage for his stunning executive performance of the last two matches.
What I'm saying, in other words, is that Stacy has in effect managed only four matches this season. AND HE'S LOST ALL FOUR.
That's good stuff.
But atleast I didn't coherse an illadvised roster drop or worse, one of those evil trades that would destroy the foundation of this league. Right, E?
P.S.
Thats the most righting you've done in Months. All do to me? Glad to break you out of this shell.
any score updates? the only thing blogger.com needs is spellczech
Excellent piece on the DBS'!
Invaders enjoy the DBS/E exchange particularly Walker reference and comedic spelling errors.Walker(Ed Harris was quite good in that movie) essentially tried to expand the slave holding confederacy to every place below the Mason-Dixon line including south of the United States.There would probably be more Spanish surnames in the NBA had he succeeded.Keep on righting E and don't forget the Slovaks or Moravians who used be part of the spellCzech Republic....
Invaders remind all you spellCzechers that only 2 Czech and one Slovakian have played in the NBA-can you name them?The Slovak played at Houston I think and went to UCLA the Czechs were drafted by Warriors and Sonics and played here for 2-3 seasons.
E Team says:
Mark, was the Slovak that guy that played center on UCLA's last national championship team? Who was on that team? Cameron Dollar? Ty Edney? His name was like, George, something. Looked kind of like Ostertag.
The Czech? Wally Szcerbiak? Bobby Czyz?
E Team says:
Appreciate the lively banter from the Oakland-based Invader, who remains upbeat despite the heartbreaking 203-199 loss to the P4's.
KevMart, who's now performing on alternating nights with Ty Evans, kills Mark with a 23. (Although, in fairness, Dirk's 24 wasn't all that helpful to the Germans.)
The good news for the Invaders is the Schittslinger's 193-179 upset of the DBS, who's hold on fourth place remains at four games. The bad news for Mark is that he has no remaining head-to-head matches with the Shooters; he'll depend on the kindness of strangers - or Stacy himself - for a ticket to the dance.
Speaking of which, the Nitecaps continue to meet with little resistence, downing the four-man McCarthyists 195-110. Dave's won six straight; his opponents' average during that stretch? 155.7
And the third-place E Team, which has gotten zero help in its pursuit of a higher seed, logs its fourth MHS in the last six matches with a 214-180 win over Ticket.
Standing have been mailed out. Go ahead and take a breather, people. Match 32 doesn't start until Tuesday.
But take a look at the remaining nine matches. It's going to be a slugfest, and it's gonna happen fast. Match 32, the Nitecaps and E Team square off while the Germans take on the Shooters. One match later, the Germans and Nitecaps go head to head.
And it just gets better from there.
You nattering nabobs say what you want about this creaky old mom and pop league, but why is a team with a legitimate chance at 30 wins wondering if it can even hold onto first place? And how could four teams have a bonafide shot at both the scoring title and the championship with only nine to play?
This thing is like Joe Brown's, the little candy store over at Lloyd Center. The place has not changed one bit in 40 years, but I still get the same thrill when I walk in for my No. 2 cheesecorn as I did back in the early '70s.
It's like chicks that don't have tattoos or fake tits or jewelry in their snatch. Who needs that shit? What's wrong with pussy the way it's always been?
If that make's me old-fashioned, so be it.
Enjoy the break, people.
Eric-the slovak was Richard Petruska a UCLA center-the czechs are George Zidek-also UCLA center and the immortal Jiri Welsh who the warriors wasted a mid-first round draft pick on...
Zidek played w/Dollar/Edney/and the O'bannon brothers Ed the leading scorer and Charles who were great college players but were ordinary tweeners that couldn't shoot in pros-also Toby Bailey and JR Henderson were on the bench.They beat Corliss Williamson and the Razorbacks in the final....
Don't glamorize the league C. It still has only 5 active teams.
This thing with DBS is ridiculous. Invaders has had horrible luck and should be battling Ticket for the last playoff spot if the world was right.
This league could offer some a little bang for the entertainment buck with a few subtle rule changes and some more active teams. But that would require some basic form of evolution.
I don't know if "old fashioned" is the phrase I would use.
DAMN KIDS WITH THEIR FANCY MUSIC PLAYERS! What was wrong with records? WHAT WAS WRONG WITH RECORDS!?!
I.M. me, I.M. ME?...WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN. I remember when we passed notes...WHAT WAS WRONG WITH PASSING NOTES!?!
Parent teacher video conference??? DONT PEOPLE EVEN MEET FACE TO FACE???
AUUUGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
-things that can be heard muttered from Team C's mouth after his first day of school
E Team says:
Hey, Dave. I'll have you know that I'm familiar with the artistry of Adam Lambert and Lady GaGa and others. Why, I crank up that "Sexy Bitch" song every time it comes on. That's a monster dance track, y'all. OMG!
It's also occurred to me that we could implement some kind of expanded free agent acquisition regimen to satisfy the total daily fix geeks among us.
What I don't like is the notion of drafting fewer guys at the start of the season for the sole purpose of having more potential signees out there for dorks to beat off to.
As time goes on, I have less - not more - time to spend on this stuff. Perhaps you or Mark would volunteer to take the reins of this thing next year as we experiment with such rule changes.
To me, the only real problem with this league is that it's so highly customized that it needs both a dependable official scorer and a fairly strong commissioner for those inevitable occasions when some whiner takes exception to a long-established rule. I know how other leagues operate, and I'm convinced this one is superior in many respects.
So hey, there you go. Like always, I'm Mr. Open Minded when it comes to new things.
Like Stalin was open minded to change in the Communist party where it became a distent cousin to true Communizim. Too, the "aint broke..." party, hows mother Russia now?
Trades! Trades! Trades! has been my chant since Day one, some disturbingly 15 years ago!
Just no dumping, is that fair?
E Team says:
Trades.
You want to see how fast you can turn this league into a snarling den of thieves looking to cut each other's throats? One in which genuine knowledge and stewardship are undone by nefarious alliances and shady dealings?
Unless you plan to put some very strict controls in place, you've figured out how to do it.
As always Team C is brilliant when queued up!
E Team says:
There's the problem. I say "nefarious alliances and shady dealings" and Dave says "When do we start?"
