On Deck

Everyone is off except dp4m and heels, as the "Martha Derby" takes center stage on June-Lie 4th. We then play 12 games on June-Lie 5th as everyone has a twi-night doubleheader. dp/heels have the following day off, and then everyone plays the next three days.

We have the aforementioned "Martha Derby" with @heels1785 and Every Citybandwagoners attempting to avenge Acuña Matata and remain in above the red line, as they take on @dp4m and everyone's least favorite team, the ASSES.
Everyone's least favorite player - Jocko Milligan - and the rest of the stone temple seattle pilots will engage in a West Coast Rap Battle, as @tom takes on @DarthTunick and the Reseda Free Fallers.
The aforementioned Acuña Matata and @anakinfansince1983 can bounce back and get to within one game of climbing out of the cellar, as they take on the suddenly surging Amazings and @AmazingB, who look to put the cellar distantly behind them, while Mr. Met lobbies Congress to make this a 400-game season.
@cubman987 will look to rebound from the nine losses he took in a six-game series as Let's Play Two take on the recently rebranded Incheon Hash Slingers and @a star war
@Wang Chi and the Sudden Valley COrnballers will look to cement their status as contenders, while taking on @RX_Sith and Game of Throws, who are running out of time to enter the conversation
And, in the Lyft Derby, @Point Given and Performance Enhancers will take on @LloydChristmas and A Shaq of Their Own, with the supremacy of KOTOR Video Games hanging in the balance.

ANNOUNCEMENT

The Trade/Free Agent window is open. I will announce the three trades I know about. Once you post your lineup and/or rotation of the next series, your rosters are locked until the next window.

Rosters spreadsheet should be up to date with these transactions, but let me know if anything is wrong, and if there are changes to active/inactive.

 

Yeesh.

Anyways, I'll probably stand pat unless someone has an offer they want to shoot my way. I'll wait 24 before posting the lineup and rotation.

Since 10 Intybucks have been freed up, I am gonna make one change. Switching Rogers Hornsby's year to 1924. Since I need less of slugger Hornsby now that we have The Wazir of Wham on board, maybe this'll wake him up. Wake the hell up! You're Rogers goddamn Hornsby, damnit! Stop letting these lesser mortals show you up!

 

@DarthIntegral -

ROSTER TRANSACTIONS:

SEND DOWN: Jose Bautista, Rico Petrocelli
BRING UP: Mark Loretta, Jesse Tannehill

LEt me know if that works!

this video about the cleveland spiders popped up in my recommendations. it's actually pretty interesting.

 

19th Century baseball is so crazy. Insolvent teams playing on the road for months on end. Stadiums burning down all over the place. Pud Galvin.

Amazing.
