2021 Playoff Deathmatch: TOR vs. ANA

[Providence A's]

Here it is...the playoff series everyone was hoping for.

In this corner...that Syracuse U guy who loves him some under-aged girls (especially of the online variety). He's been said to need a good slap across his arrogant face. He hates pro wrestling, has been known to complain an awful lot, and does not like the San Francisco Giants...NYGiantsfan5689!!!

In this corner...the coal miner from West Virginia who has a comment about every ****ing thing under the sun. He's been said to hate just about everyone in the sim leagues not named Mission, Nick, Hammer, and Saber. He loves movies, the Steelers, and making fun of his opponent...Kingdom_of_Zito!!!

This is history in the making folks. Two of the more dominating characters on S3F. Something has to give. They both can't lose...or can they? No, they can't.

I say we make this a retirement/career ending/banishment/casket match. The loser goes home forever. The winner can stay if he likes and gets bragging rights. The league will vote on this proposal.

The opponents are encouraged to make statements here. And feel free to show CJ what smack talk is all about and when it is appropriate (i.e. when you make the playoffs and when your team hasn't finished in last place every year since 2007).

It's not even a fair fight after I lose the surefire Cy Young winner. Like.....this is all i can do right now: because I don't even know what to say

Honestly, if it weren't OOTP playoffs, Anaheim would kick the everloving shit out of me without Elizondo, and with Schauer completely on ice. But I realize that this is OOTP playoffs, and anything can happen. In other news...I'm starting Sebastain Bludd

here goes nothin

and for the record, this is the Blue Jays franchise's first time in the playoffs in TSSL since its' first year in 2006

SP Myers, while having a down year, is out for Anaheim. Myers won 18 last year and has won 22 in the past. Injuries are part of the game. My #3 pitcher is out. You just have to deal with it. No excuses.

[NYgiantsfan5689]

David Elizondo > Zabaleta
David Elizondo > Myers (who comes back in a week)

[Providence A's]

wah wah

Zabaleta won 14 games for me. I have no replacement close to that. Quit your *****ing. Funny how you hated Elizondo last year, he has a great season, and then all of the sudden you want to marry him. You're the Bipolar GM.

[NYgiantsfan5689]

and to be fair, i've been incredibly lucky with injuries this year. this is my first MLB injury this season. but still.....he's 26-4, 2.81....

i think you'd feel the same way if your ace was 13-17 with a 4.95 ERA, and then goes 26-4 with a 2.81. It's not the bipolar GM, it's the bipolar pitcher

[Providence A's]

it's the whiniest GM on S3F. that much is for certain.

I'm going to enjoy this.

[HollywoodLeo]

Why do you take these complaints so personally, Prov?

I'm sure Kevin Towers griped when Jake Peavy injured his ribs going into the 2005 playoffs.

I don't think Bud Selig came to San Diego and told Towers to quit his *****ing because it's part of the game afterwards.

Yeah, they're part of the game, but it's only natural for someone to gripe a bit when their 26-4 pitcher is lost for the playoffs.

I doubt NYGF is blaming you for the injury.

[NYgiantsfan5689]

Thank you Hollywood. I'm not blaming Prov at all. I'm just complaining a little.

And maybe my complaining is an outlet to release the inner turmoil that swirls around my teenage mind, churning and burning until it has to escape in some form of evil monster....

.....or maybe i just lost my 26-4 pitcher for the playoffs.

where did I say he blamed me? he whines about everything. That is what I said.

Hwood, why do you take comments I make so personally when they have nothing to do with you and aren't directed at you?

Elizondo had a career year. Obviously, the truth lies somewhere between last season and this season.

[HollywoodLeo]

Just for the record, I didn't take anything in this thread personally.

I was just reading through it and was curious about your reaction to the complaints.

Any rate, carry on.

for the record you jump into a lot of situations like this with that kind of reply: "why so personal?!" He didn't blame me for the injury. I never said he did. I said injuries are part of the game. KoZ has an injury to a starting pitcher. I have an injury to a starting pitcher. You have an injury to your starting center fielder. It's part of the game. You deal with it instead of whining about it in 3 separate threads. But that's what he did and that is what I pointed out. None of this really matters anyway.

[NYgiantsfan5689]

Back to the matchup on hand......Game 1, Ibanez vs. Colton, is going to be an excellent game.

[Providence A's]

talk some smack dammit! KoZ is always putting you down and questioning your GM skills. How does that make you feel?

This is deathmatch, not a tea party.
