If I were a scum captain, how would that change my pitch to be part of not part of a scum team? Hmm.

I'm not sure if I should be scum this game. It's probably worse on average for a scum team to pick me.

Teaparty,
You came in here and were greeted very politely, and were frustrated that you could not get happy hour prices with your groupon. Not only is this very clearly written on the bottom of the groupon "Not valid with any other offer" but it also on the bottom of EVERY groupon, for every restaurant. You seem to be seasoned coupon clippers so you are familiar with this. You were so upset that you could not combine deals that you rudely decided to tip my waiter 18 cents. You and Alexa Kliebenstein cowardly raced out of the restaurant, and my waiter raced after you. He gave you $6 out of his own pocket because he thought you were poor, and you shamefully accepted it. I cant believe you took his money! Shame on you! This is bad restaurant karma and horrible personal karma!

Fellow restaurants and waiters, beware of Alexa Kliebenstein and Teaparty C! Please don't come back into my restaurant.

Oh yeah, and you owe my waiter his $6 back plus a $5 tip

Helllllllllo everybody and welcome to the most exciting baseball game of the season! Here to bring you the fastest balls and the biggest scoops is your favorite journalist, Cloacamazing! That's right, folks, my intern finally managed to get that pesky ressurrection ritual correct and I have been properly reinstated at the newspaper!

...Well, except for the part where I'm now covering the sports section, which, hey, I don't really know anything about but opportunity to learn and grow, right?

Anyway, our teams have assembled and on the homepitch we have theeeeeee Sporkin' Forkers! An up and coming new team, they have made a name for themselves in the past, although some people might call them a bit lurky. But they've persevered and are now here, up for the championship! I still remember my first interview with the team captain. He didn't really talk to me much, because he thought I was scummy. Weird how this keeps happening. To be fair, I was two-timing him with a veteran player, but it was all up and above townie business.

And the guests on the other side of the field, theeeeeeeeee Maerry Lynners! A veteran team, quite supportive in general but hoo boy you do not want to cross them when they get riled up. Pro tip: Do not mention the name "Burk" around them, ever, or the guns will come out and I mean that literally.

But what's this? A tiny baby seal is right out there on the field, and it has not been scouted yet! How could this be? It is a well-known seal fact that the roundness of baby seals makes them excellent baseball players! They are incredibly bouncy and will just bop from base to base! Somebody needs to pick this seal up, pronto!

With that said, let's take a look at our scoreboard, which will be updated live as this exciting game begins!



Okay, Amazing Intern? I know you're still recovering from the ritual, but I really need your help here! I know literally nothing about baseball! I'm not even sure if I wrote the right teams on the scoreboard! Intern! Help!

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

I think it might be a fun exercise for everyone to presubmit who they would attempt to draft, if they were a scum captain.

I'll start:
1) NeverHelm
1b) Keats
2) The player currently known as Death Cob for Cutie
3) Clo probably
4) ANarc
5) Hambeet

I'll stop there I guess.

Surprise! Nineteenth player takes the field!

With a loud "Sorry am I late?", Cactus Ghost stormed on the field, toast in mouth and still in the process of putting on his uniform. "Sorry about ghosting you, fellas." he said, smiling awkwardly. "Er... You haven't replaced me or anything, right?"

Replacement player Zoya was observed in a heated discussion with two black-clad, heavily armed orderlies. Observers think they heard something along the lines of "already a ghost! How were we supposed to". This is probably unrelated to the story though. The actual question on every player's mind is now: room for one more?

It's like a Lumpenlist, only weirder! An interview with Cloacamazing! By Cloacamazing!

So, Clo, if you were the captain of your very own baseball team, who would you pick?

Well, Clo, first of all the most important thing, our team would be named The Hamburg Boppers. As for the composition, naturally enough I would pick myself.

Yes, but other than that?

Just myself. People will go nuts trying to find connections between players.

Can you please take this serious?

I'm interviewing myself here!

...

Okaaaaay. Well I would pick Keats of course, because he's clearly scum. ANarc, so we can talk about musicals in scumchat. Sharkmafia for ocean supremacy and finally both Zoya and Cactus Ghost, so they can fight for the final player spot.

Cloacamazing! left the diamond and went back to the parking lot. As she reached the corner where her car was parked, she briskly looked back towards the diamond and, probably less smoothly than she thought, scanned the rest of the lot for any sign of movement.

"Alright. The nightly news is primed, the trough of the public ready for mindless consumption," she whispered

A silhouette emerged slowly from behind the car and spoke with a voice modulated to sound like an autotuned Ed Murrow phonograph.

"A fake contest between the Maerry Lynns and the Sporkin Forks? That sounds made up, but I suppose I picked you for your made up journalism degree. I just got a hot tip that can't wait: the real scum captains are Neverhelm and Zoya. Encode that in whatever nonsense passes for sports journalism today. Also I got a tip from higher up: the team is going to be called the Scum Sluggers"
