Great Scottsmen
Drew Gallagher,
9/30/11 |
Gentlemen:
The 27th year of the ESL has wrapped up and with it we
are crowning our ninth different champion in Dale King
Scott. The championship was well-deserved despite the
troubling decision to start Brett Myers on the final day
of the season. But for that, the Question Marks are
eternally grateful and, in all probability, so should
our Pal. Myers’ atrocious outing (well documented for
Phillie fans) allowed both Mark and Chris to pass Dale
in ERA on the final day. That coupled with my team’s
remarkable 4 for 48 effort on the final day allowed the
Question Marks to leap into a three-way tie for third
place which, I believe, is unprecedented in the history
of the league. So without further adieu I take you to
the Scottsmen’s press conference and locker room
celebration.
Dale Scott walks to the podium wearing nothing but Ryan
Braun boxer shorts.
Reporter: “Dale, didn’t bring a change of clothes for
post celebration?”
Dale: “What? Oh, you mean the outfit? No, I usually wear
just underwear around the clubhouse. Shoot if I had been
drinking champagne instead of Dale’s Pale Ale I’d
probably be naked right now.”
(Sound of many journalists throwing up a little bit in
their mouths.)
Reporter: “So how does it feel to finally win after all
of these years?”
Dale: “Well first I’d like to thank my lord and savior,
Ryan Braun. Water into wine? Try hitting 33 bombs and
stealing 33 bases. You’re not going to find those types
of numbers in Corinthians. Parting the Red Sea? Pretty
cool but not as cool as fucking Bernie Brewer coming
down the slide!”
Reporter: ̶ 0;Speaking of Braun, he’s going back into
the draft next season. Is there any scenario you can
envision where he is not a Scottsmen?” |
Dale: “No.”
Reporter: “Seriously? I mean, unless Mal flies off to
South Africa again next year to miss the World Cup, you
don’t envision him trying to screw you on Braun by
opening the bidding at, say, 65?”
Dale: “I stand by my prior response. No. My face will
turn bright red and I’ll bid 66. Might be best if Mal
just stays home again this year.”
Reporter: “You really think any player is worth that
kind of money after the flame out failures of Pujols and
Hanley this season?”
Dale: “I didn’t say Braun was worth 66. I think he’s
worth more than that and will bid more if necessary.
Look, I’ll put this into perspective for you guys. My
only daughter is going off to college next year. She is
the light of my life and I’ll be devastated when she
leaves home. But the sadness I’ll feel at my daughter’s
departure doesn’t eve n compare to Brauny leaving. If he
leaves, a part of me dies. And I mean a good part like
my penis.”
So will 2012 bring our 10th different champion? The
morning line has Mal’s squad as the current favorites.
He has amassed a list of keepers as deep as any in
recent memory. Only problem is that he will likely trade
most of those keepers before Thanksgiving--at least
those not named Bryce Harper. (At this point I’d like to
interject that Marty said that Bryce Harper couldn’t
carry Kyle Blanks’ jockstrap.)
Payouts were $934.20 to Dale, $519.00 to your s truly
and $207.60 each to Chris, Mark and Jamie.
The offseason has now begun for those of us who are Red
Sox fans. The talent again appears to be well spread
throughout the 10 ESL teams. And for those who might be
looking for that oh so rare blend of speed, power and
batting average my sources tell me that there is a kid
by the name of Braun who will be there for the taking in
April. Just be prepared to say 67. |

ESL TRADING RULES: |
Between Draft Day and noon on August 31st,
teams may accept only TWO "asterisk" players
total and those must be from different
teams. On the flip-side, a team may
trade AWAY as many "asterisk" players as
they like (but no two "asterisk" players to
the same team.) "Asterisk" players are
any players auction drafted for $20 or over,
any players FAAB drafted for $60 or over,
players of any salary in the final year of
their contract, and players traded to the
A.L.
|
Each team is allowed one "asterisk for
asterisk" trade during the season. The
trade is only one asterisk for one asterisk
and other players cannot be involved in the
trade. This trade can be utilized at any
point in the season up until the trade
deadline. The intent of the rule is to allow
fair trades. Again, it is simply one
asterisk player for one asterisk player. It
is not two or three asterisks for two or
three asterisks and no other players (or
rookies) can be included in the trade.
This trade does not count against a team’s
limit of two asterisk trades. However, you
may not make two trades involving asterisk
players within 30 days. In other
words, if you make your
asterisk-for-asterisk trade with 1 team, you
made not make one of your two
asterisk-dump-trades with that same team
unless you first wait 30 days. |
Thursday after the All-Star Game, 12:01 p.m. thru noon August 31st:
Restricted trading, you may trade with any
team +/- 5 points in the standings (based on
the most up to date standings on the front
page of the All-Star Stats web-site.
"Live" standings will not count, as there
will be no way to verify it later.)
Also during this period, teams with less
than 40 points and not in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th
or 5th place will also be able to continue
trading with each other. The asterisk
rules will apply during this period.
Between 12:01 p.m. on August 31st thru the
end of the regular season: NO
trading what-so-ever. |
