SWF Company Softball team

[Angel_Grace_Blue]

I was thinking back to when John Duran ran that Out of the Park baseball sim with SWFers supplying fake players and such.

 

Then, I got to thinking about other stuff, and somehow, I thought "Hey, if the SWF were real and stuff, or something, we'd be a great company softball team,". So, I was thinking that, along the lines of the Fuvolution, we should assign positions and whatnot (I will not try to write something up wherein we play like the Oat Toast, or something, because I suck and never end up finishing it, like when I was writing that SlamBall thing with faces against heels, unless it's highly demanded, and someone, or several someones offer to help and stuff). The only problem I'd forsee with the SWF Company Softball Team is that since large amounts of beer are required to be drunk at the games, Toxxic and Todd wouldn't play (Also, Buck might get dizzy and fall down. Damn, thought I had that sliver of angry bitterness in check).

 

So, yeah, like where would your character play and everything.

 

(Toxxic) Base balls? I don't know anything about that, but I was top batsman at school. Bowl pretty good, too. Wickets and such. Pish tosh.

 

I figure since he's a lefty, Buck would make a good first baseman, and obviously bat in the middle of the order.

[A Happy Medium]

Arch Griffon would have to be catcher, because he's too big to play anywhere else.

[TheBostonStrangler]

Strangler would be a good 1B, in my opinion.

[JHawk]

Jay Hawke could be a player/manager and run things from left field.

 

Scott Pretzler could be the guy that sits on press row and says which guys should be sent to the minors.

[Angel_Grace_Blue]

See, I was thinking Danny would be catcher, just to drill someone with an elbow in plays at the plate, but maybe his Popeye arms could translate well to pitching.

 

WC would of course lead off, and I'm thinking maybe he'd play short stop (I mean, he is from an island country and everything), or the outfield.

 

But the middle lineup of Buck, Archie, and Manson (Among others) would be scary, even if every hit of Buck and Archie's would either be a home run or a single, since they're too slow to leg out anything else.

[A Happy Medium]

Ok, then Arch should be the lovable left fielder who can only hit homeruns.

[Chuck Woolery]

See, and I was thinking I could be pitcher and Tom could be catcher.

 

Yeah, I said it.

[Ced]

I call pinch runner on the grounds that I get to deliver the Chan-Ho Park Liu Kang Kick of Stereotypical Asian Affair the first chance I get.

[muzz]

Sacred and Axis would be playing cricket in the parking lot.

[chirs3]

Dibs on Team Mascot.

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Definitely center field. And Toxxic should bat second if WC leads off; he strikes me as a contact hitter.

[Golgo 13]

Toxxic would probably be playing cricket with Axis and Muzz.

[muzz]

If he's english he'd be terrible.

[crusen86]

Oh, but England are going to beat Australia this year! Just ask the English press!

 

...Bahahahahaha.

[Kaertos]

If nobody calls me to be on the softball team, I'd be quite put out.

 

Grand Slam's natural position is first base, but we seem to have a glut of those, so either 3B or CF.

 

Also, all due respect to J Hawk, I think GSMS would make a great player / manager. Afer all, he did play minor league ball for years.

 

[Ace309]

Tom Flesher, having followed only one season of baseball in his life (and that having been to get into someone's pants) and having never played, will be happy to sit on the bench with a can of tobacco and several beers.

[Kaertos]

Tom can be the ball boy. ::snicker::

 

ahhh sophomore humor. It's been too long...

[Maztinho]

Rodgers would play Shortstop, just so he can yell, GARCIAPARRA before making a play.

[Toxxic]

Toxxic would probably be playing cricket with Axis and Muzz.

Fuck that. Toxxic would nick their stumps to use as goalposts for the game of soccer he'd be playing with...

 

...hmm, Americans, Canadians and Australians...

 

...well, himself I guess.

[Angel_Grace_Blue]

Toxxic always did seem like the kind of guy that played with himself.

 

So, we've got Axis, Sacred, Janus, and Crowe playing cricket, Va'aiga playing rugby, and Toxxic playing soccer. I guess it's the SWF Company Calvinball Team.

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Well, I'm going to put Cortez on the team, anyway, based on the thinking that if refusing to drink would put him off the team, it'd have to put WC out, too.

 

Anyway, here's my proposed lineup; it's entirely possible that I'm thinking too hard about this:

 

1. Wildchild - CF

2. Landon Maddix - RF

3. Manson - 2B

4. Li'l Buck - DH

5. The Boston Strangler - 1B

6. 'Grand Slam' Mark Stevens - 3B

7. Archie Griffon - LF

8. Bryan Rodgers - SS

9. Danny Williams - C

 

Pitchers:

Starting pitcher - Jay Hawke

Starting pitcher - Johnny Dangerous

Relief pitcher - Spike Jenkins

Relief pitcher - Insane Luchador

Closer - Mike Van Siclen

 

 

Bench:

Sean Davis - 1B

Mak Francis - OF

Todd Cortez - OF

Ced Ordonez - OF/SS

Ejiro Fasaki - 2B

Judge Mental - C

John Duran - 3B

Alan Clark - OF/SS

[Angel_Grace_Blue]

I was kind of thinking Archie for 3rd. He could basically swallow up any balls hit to the 'hot corner', or they'd just deflect off of him and he'd still be able to make a play. Also, he should crowd the plate as much as possible. Anyone pitching inside would most likely hit him.

 

I hadn't thought about pitchers. Maybe Fasaki could do something interesting with a 'screaming' windup.

[Toxxic]

Y'know what? Me, Sacred, Axis, Crowe, Janus, Va'aiga, Dace and Aecas are going to do a pitch invasion. Va'aiga hits a home run and goes around LARIATOOOO~ing the fielder on each base, while Aecas just uses his flick scythe to bat.

 

Come on, it'd be unique.

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

You mean like USA vs. the world? But that would mean that WC would have to play for the international team...

[muzz]

Wildchild is #1!

[Angel_Grace_Blue]

This thread has evoked some nostalgia so powerful in me that I was forced to hook up my Dreamcast again, and start playing the NHL2K2 season I started a while back with the Edmonton Oilers using pretty much a roster of created folk.

 

We've got at left wing, starter and captain, Chris Belcourt, Peter Griffin, and Mak Francis. Left wing, starter and assistaint captain William Hearford, Chris Griffin, and Drew Kelk. Centers are starter Patrick Hannon, Brian Griffin, and assistaint captain Ace Lezaire. Defensemen are starters Tom Flesher and Nathaniel Kibagami, Glenn Quagmire, Stewie Griffin, and Markus Cirrillo and Jamie Drazon. Starting goalie is Charlie Matthews, and other goalie is Joe Swanson.

 

In about 17 games, Belcourt has emerged as the star, totaling 92 points (About 80 something goals), and 120+ penalty minutes, with Kibagami just behind him at about 100+. Flesher has a +/- of 80, and Charlie Matthews has only allowed 7 goals. The Oilers score about 20 or so goals a game. And stuff.

[Justice]

Hearford would SO be a starting Goalie. Master of the Butterfly style, biatch!

[Toxxic]

What bizarre language is this you speak?

[Justice]

What bizarre language is this you speak?

Hockey.

 

+/- is how many goals you've been out on the ice for. You get +1 for a goal on your side, a -1 when they score and you are out. Guys who put up more while giving up less are more efficient defenders, or so the saying goes.

 

Points is a combination of both your goals scored and your assists.

 

And butterfly style is the most prevelent style of goalie in the NHL. I don't really feel like going in depth because I'm still pretty rusty on it (I'm more of a positional scrambler (A guy who cuts angles off from the goal and does wild scrambles) myself).

[Angel_Grace_Blue]

Okay, once I finish game #20, I'll post some updates, but I wanted to say that Edmonton totally destroyed Carolina, 43 - 1. It was awesome. Z/Belcourt got a hat trick, then a top hat trick (6), and then a fedora trick (9) all in the first period. He finished with 18 goals. Sombrero trick, maybe? Carmen Miranda fruit hat trick? I wanted him to get 20, but, alas.

 

Also, I've been playing Sega Marine Fishing, and I caught the aquatic version of Tom Flesher: A 231lb. hammerhead shark. Yes, I play the video game version of something that's not a sport, and kind of an activity, barely, sort of.
