Arena The Sixth Baseball Draft - The FODEUSS Awakens (HEELS HAS WON)

If i get banned, we'll all know it's because heels watched IntyCenter this week

 

I'm mad at you. You forgot the "he converted" after "Hall of Famer Rod Carew..." for once...

 

Just another collection of misfit toys

Spoiler

But I managed to get a guy from my current team in there, so there's that

Power Rankings



If The Playoffs Started Today

stone temple seattle pilots would be your #1 seed and would await the winner of Amazings vs. Every City Bandwagoners
A Shaq of Their Own would be your #2 seed, and would await the winner of Performance Enhancers vs. San Francisco Six Demonbags of Chinatown

Sithi of Osten Ard would be agonizingly eliminated, just one game out of the playoffs
Game of Throws and THE Family Madrigal would be not quite as crushed, sitting three games out. Crushed, yes. But not to the same magnitude of literally one result keeping them out.

 

Is this like a James Bond thing?

 

I almost just listed the pitching matchup as "Dizzy Dean Chance" on the mound

 

4/9 meta and kind of baffled how I did that poorly.

Spoiler

I mean, Cano over Diaz? No Ichiro in top center?

Amazing.

I went with an All Cleveland grid; either played here or was born here

Spoiler: 12 rarity

 

No real theme, just a bunch of players I like.

Spoiler

Amazing.

 

I like these teamless grids because they feel so wide open. But that also hurts me in any kind of theming. So today's theme was just "Goat in the middle"

Spoiler

 

i went for the meta even though it seemed impossible, got 4/8.

Spoiler

5/9 meta and one meta in a wrong square, currently impossible due to one of the more surprising double entries.

Spoiler

Amazing.

 

I've been waiting and waiting for Cleveland/.300 hitter square to come around and I'm proud of my .09% rarity answer that was waiting for me

Spoiler

 

7/8 on the meta

Spoiler

 

Spoiler

It looks like @DarthIntegral and I had the same idea getting a pitcher in that .300 avg slot. And also, I might have to retire now since I managed to get Jeff freaking Manto onto a square. I don't think I'll ever top that feat!

 

6/9 on the Meta. Completely whiffed on the Meta for the Cardinals

Spoiler

The public will always surprise me. Jhonny Peralta as the meta answer for Tigers/Cardinals?

 

also 6/9 but i did get one of the cardinals ones

Spoiler
