DannoMack: Aug 1, 2003; i love it when you call me big poppa

To expand a little on trade stuff. I don't have the means for a blockbuster, so only bargain-shopper-swap-meet owners need apply!

I have these things:
The RCMP Draft Pick
33 yr old 3B Edgar Martinez
42yr old SP Cy Young (he's still very good, honest!)
29yr old RP Mace Brown
24yr old RP Clay Carroll
28yr old C Russ Martin
22yr old IF Joe Cronin
AMBI DEXTRO
Guys on this sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Up1a43SSYqVzsiSaUqu2cLTENb6eQ0Ev0mFBCB-cOQQ/edit?usp=sharing

I'd like to end up at the end of the offseason with some or all of:
An SP better than the Cy Young
A backup catcher with a good throwing arm and some positional versatility (King Kelly kind of guy)
A right handed SS who can maybe play a little 3B (I have my eye on the Cal Ripken in the draft but if the draft lottery goes poorly that won't be an option)

Many years from now...

: How you doing, kid?

: _{Oh, god, please not another Super-League story.}

: Kid, I got another Super-League story.

: Again?

: Kid, this one is different, it's a true battle between good and evil. It's got everything! Fighting, torture, revenge, giants, machines, miracles...okay, no miracles. But it's pretty great...

The Commissar's Challenge! posted:

: Ancient spirits of evil, transform this decayed form to Smasher, the ever-killing!

: So, wait, you were the evil one in this story?

: What? No. Why would I be the evil one?

: You literally started your story with a flashback to you praying to the 'ancient spirits of evil'.

: 'Good' and 'evil' are just words. And we should nice to our elders, whether they be ancient spirits of evil or grandfathers just trying to tell a loving story! Anyway, where was I?

Super-League XXIII, Commissar's Challenge: White Mountain Widowmakers vs. Macho Men

: I'm going to butcher these motherfuckers, Yoshida!
: It should be a good challenge-
: Set the battlefield for massacre!

: Introducing first, they are the two-time Cruiserweight Champions, one-time Television Champions, one-time Hardcore Champions, one-time Larkin-Downing Champions, two-time Heavyweight Champions, one-time Intercontinental Champions, three-time Triple Crown Champions, one-time Omni Champions, five-time Wildcard Winners, three-time Senor Goodtimes Division Champions, one-time Smasher League Champions, and the current, reigning, defending Super-League Champions of the world. A member of the Super-League since Super-League X, it has taken them over 2000 games to get this far, but it will take but nine games or less for their journey to be complete. From the wilds of New Hampshire, the White Mountain Widowmakers!

: And their opponents, my hate made manifest to rend those foolish enough to pit their wiles against my fury, they are the undefeated, unconquerable, and the unending. The end comes, a black wind howls, here are the Macho Men

: Hey, and, look at that, I get home-field for once, meaning that they'll have to play in a neutral stadium rather than gimmick-land.
: Is that really sporting?
: I stopped using the Polo Grounds, even though it gave all of my lefty pull-hitters a huge advantage. A team that beats the Macho Men should be able to steal a game or two in a level playing field.

Game 1: White Mountain Widowmakers @ Macho Men (Series Tied 0-0)

: Oh, what the gently caress is this?
: The Widowmakers are doing it! Taking advantage of the Macho Men's weak bullpen! They could do it!

: The Macho Men don't get killed at this time.

: Grandpa, I'm not doing this bit with you.

: Fine.

The Commissar's Challenge! posted:

: Holy gently caress, I forget to turn the Macho Men's setting to "Mega-Kill". God drat it, this season has been too long, I'm so loving tired that I'm making the dumbest mistakes.

Game 2: White Mountain Widowmakers @ Macho Men (WMW Lead 1-0)

: There we go.
: Is this going to be one of those series where there seems to be hope, and then you smash it to bits? Or Smasher it to bits. I'd love that wordplay if it weren't so sad.
: Yoshida, that's crazy.

Game 3: White Mountain Widowmakers @ Macho Men (Series Tied 1-1)

: Crazy accurate.
: Well, the series isn't over yet!

Game 4: White Mountain Widowmakers @ Macho Men (MAC Leads 2-1)

: That's right, motherfuckers, the Macho Men are winning in extra innings! Even your loving bullpen isn't going to save your sorry rear end this time! The Macho Men will loving kill you and destroy your hopes and dreams. And possibly render you sterile, I'm working on that part.
: Render them sterile?
: Anyone improvident enough to challenge the Macho Men shows a distinct lack of prudence that should not remain in the gene pool.

Game 5: White Mountain Widowmakers @ Macho Men (MAC Leads 3-1)

: Open the gates of the abyss, Yoshida, I have some refuse that I'll need to drop off into oblivion shortly.
: It's not over?

Game 6: White Mountain Widowmakers @ Macho Men (MAC Leads 4-1)

: Two outs in the top of the ninth, Macho Men leading 7-5, Goose Gossage can end the Widowmakers by getting Eddie Collins out. But what's this? Eddie Collins hits a home run! The Widowmakers are just one run away from tying the game! And if they win here, the last three games are at their home stadium, can they do it?
: Yes!
: Billy Hamilton with an 0-2 count, Goose into the stretch, and delivers, it's a slider, and Hamilton cannot lay off! Strike three! The Widowmakers are done!
: Oh.
: But hey, Eddie Collins had a pretty heroic moment right there. And so he belongs to the Macho Men now. That's right, mentholmoose, your failure only makes me that much stronger. Season over!

: Who kills the Macho Men?

: I don't understand.

: Who kills the Macho Men? At the end. Somebody's got to do it. Is it Pander, who?

: Nobody. Nobody kills them. They live forever.

: You mean they beat everyone? Jesus, Grandpa! Why do you do these challenges?

: Hey, now. I know you've been feeling sick, but I think I know how to make you feel better about all of this.

: How?

: I talked to the doctor, and he said that, real soon, you're never going to have to worry about getting sick again.

: Really?

: Never ever again.

: Oh.

: SEASON OVER!
