Just The Way We Roll At Fox Sports Television
I’ve got a new gig as a director of Fox Sports Television. In fact, I directed last night’s playoff game between the Yankees and Angels. Here’s an excerpt from the transcript of my ninth inning direction:
“...On-Field Camera One, get ready with an extreme close-up of reliever Brian Fuetes’ face so that all you can see is his nose. I can’t really see if that’s a mole inside his nostril or if it’s just a shadow. Ready to take On-Field Camera One. Take On-Field Camera One.
“On-Field Camera Two, we’ll come to you in ten-seconds for a batter-catcher-umpire shot of the pitch, just after we finish exploring Fuentes’ nostril and after we go to 13 random fan shots in under five-seconds. Fan Cameras One through Thirteen, give me some medium shots of random fans. Seven, I need a fan holding a rally monkey. Eleven, I’ll need a Yankees fan. Ready to take Fan Cameras One through Thirteen in machine gun fashion. Take Fan Camera One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven on rally monkey. Eight. Nine. Ten. Eleven on Yankees fan. Twelve. Thirteen.
“Ready On-Field Camera Two with a batter-catcher-umpire shot of the pitch. Take On-Field Camera Two. Insert, get ready for an extreme close up of the catcher’s crotch. Take Insert.
“Ready Pitch Track and Replay of last pitch. Take Pitch Track. Take Replay. Show replay eight times.
“Dugout Camera Two, get ready to show Mike Scioscia’s reaction to the pitch. Start with a medium shot of the side of his head. When we go to you, give me a dramatic zoom and stop at edge of Scioscia’s ear and the tip of his nose. Ready to take Dugout Camera Two. Take Dugout Camera Two. Dugout Camera Two, keep zooming, keep zooming. Still too much breathing room. Keep zooming. Dugout Camera Two, stop zooming only when you can’t zoom any more.
“Dugout Camera Two, nice. I like the dramatic zoom. We’ll do it for every pitch for the rest of the inning. Be ready.
“Fan Cameras One through Thirteen, give me some medium shots of different random fans. I need more nervousness this time, people! Seven, I need another rally monkey. Eleven, I need another Yankees fan. Make it a hopeful-but-nervous girl this time. And make sure she looks Bronxy. Ready to take Fan Cameras One through Thirteen. In machine gun fashion, take Fan Camera One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven on rally monkey. Eight. Nine. Ten. Eleven on Bronx chick. Twelve. Thirteen.
“On-Field Camera One, get ready to give me another extreme close-up on Brian Fuetes’ nose. Even more extreme than the last shot. Ready to take On-Field Camera One. Take On-Field Camera One ...”
After the game I got chewed out for not giving enough extreme close-ups throughout the game. But I did get compliments for cramming so many random fan shots into five-seconds and for uncovering Fuentes’ nostril mole.
That’s just the way we roll at Fox Sports Television.

Damon Strikes Again; Cameltowing Positioned To Become First Two-Time Champ
David “Eddie” Edison’s Cameltowing Inc. took a big step toward becoming the first two-time SLPL Overall Champion last night off the bat of Johnny Damon. Eddie, who originally won the crown in 2006, has leap-frogged over two teams since the Playoffs began and now holds a 79-point lead over Dan Klinkhamer, owner of Tacky Cardias, and a 140-point lead over Regular Season Champ Suzie “Fricken’” Rochellle, owner of Who’s On First? For Dan to win it all Johnny Damon can’t hit another home run and will have to strike out eight times during the World Series. For Suzie to win, she needs her wildcard players to offset her current deficit of points and any additional points A-Rod or Damon might earn. With points worth so much during the World Series, neither scenario is out of the question, but Damon’s HR last night gave Eddie a little cushion to work with.

Damon Propels Cameltowing, Inc. To Top; Tacky Cardias Owner Now Favorite To Play Marty Feldman In Bio-Pic
Sucks to be Dan Klinkhamer. The Tacky Cardias owner today is wondering what the heck happened to his two-day, one-point Overall lead when all he needs to know is that Johnny Damon happened. See, as was described here on 10/18, Dan made some nifty trades going into the playoffs, nearly entirely neutralizing David “Eddie” Edison’s Cameltowing Inc. by nearly entirely having the exact same roster as Eddie. Nearly entirely. Trouble is, Dan didn’t make that last trade for Damon, who Eddie has. And while Damon has been a bag full of strikeouts during the first several games of the playoffs, he hit a dong yesterday, which propelled Cameltowing from third place into first place Overall. Which means that it’s now Dan who is the favorite to play the lead in the Marty Feldman bio-pic.

Dan Klinkhamer, aka Marty Feldman
Dan’s only hope at this
point is that Damon doesn’t hit another dong during
the playoffs but continues to strike out at a goodly
rate so that his Tacky Cardias can make up the
29-point deficit. Meanwhile, he and Eddie have got to
both hope that none of Suzie “Fricken’”
Rochellle’s three wildcard players (Ibanez,
Ethier, Morales) hit a couple home runs for her Who’s
On First? and overtake them both.

Dan Klinkhamer Takes Over Top Spot
Dan Klinkhamer, owner of Tacky Cardias, is in first place. This is a fairly remarkable feat considering that Dan, who bumped Suzie Rochellle’s Who’s On First?, wasn’t in first place even once during the entire season. Heck, it wasn’t until the last week of the season he was even in second place, when he overtook David Edison’s Cameltowing Inc. After moving into second place, Dan made a brilliant move -- a move that earned his ears more than a dozen unique swear words from Edison’s mouth -- when he made two trades on the final day of the Regular Season to make his playoff roster nearly identical to Eddie’s, thereby almost entirely neutralizing Eddie’s chances of overtaking him. The only wildcard in play right now is Johnny Damon; if Damon hits a dong before the playoffs are over, Eddie will likely hear some of those unique cuss words repeated back to him from Dan. But holy schmoly, people, we have a new leader!

The Bobblehead Is Bobblin' For Kyaathy
The Bobblehead-of-Lettuce is bobblin’ today for G.O.P.d Their Pants owner Kyaathy Livernois, who is today celebrating a birthday. Kyaathy (she says it like I’ve spelled it) was having a pretty good year early in the season but fell out of contention after a few of her studs just stopped being productive. She made a few trades to try to fix the problem, but those didn’t pan out like she hoped either. Oh, well. She’ll be in the mix next season, no doubt.
Anyway, a big Happy Birthday to Kathy! The Bobblehead-of-Lettuce bobbles for you:

I Guess We Really *Do* Have To Spell Everything Out
It has recently been brought to our attention -- and I’m not naming names because that might embarrass our current league leader, which seems an unseemly thing to do -- that some owners are tracking their playoff stats the old-fashioned way, using crinkled-up ruled notebook paper . This is unnecessary. We here at the SLPL have created handy-dandy stats that are built right in to this here website. See that line of links just below this paragraph, the one labeled “Playoffs:”? Yeah, that. Those links, which are updated pretty quickly after the playoff games for the night are done (or the next morning, at the latest), give you all the details you need to track the SLPL playoffs. Click one now and then note that the same links are available under the Playoffs tab toward the top of this page, too.

Wheat, You Get In This Line. Chaff, You Line Up Over There.
This is the time of the playoffs that we really begin to separate the wheat from the chaff. Check out how points are awarded during the League Championship Series, which begins tonight:
. Hitters earn 50 points for every home run hit
. Hitters lose 5 points for every K
. Pitchers earn 5 points for every K
. Pitchers lose 20 points for every homer surrendered
I mean, c’mon! Those are some serious pointages, people.
Hey, speaking of chaff, Commissioner Rube Furrow has got a really bad chaffing problem and has been experimenting with several ointments to try to clear it up. If anyone has any suggestions -- outside of changing his underwear more than once a week, which he absolutely refuses to do -- please post them up in the Got Something to Say? area.

That's Our Girl/Woman!
Lindsay Hicks, daughter Summer Sausages owner Jim Hicks and big sister of Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong owner Ian Hicks, is doing the whole famn damily proud by being bathed in Hoosier red on the Official Athletics Site of Indiana University. Lindsay, a freshman, is a manager for the storied Hoosier Women’s Swimming & Diving Team. Her mom Renea notes that Lindsay would be swimming for their JV team were it not for those pesky conflicting academics requirements (aka, classes). Renea further notes that her and Jim rather intentionally spelled her name with an “a” and not an “e,” which should make Lindsay proud that she’s not in any way associated with the sullied Hoosier Spelling and Grammar Team.

Michael Pieper, who yesterday got
married to the most lovely and beautiful
Melanie Broholm. The Rats weren’t
much of a force in the Santa Lechuga Power League
this year, but we knew The Pipe would have other
things to be worried about as he got ready for his
wedding. So, as we say here in the Chicagoland, wait
‘til next year, Michael. In the meantime, enjoy your
honeymoon. And from all of us here at the SLPL,
CONGRATULATIONS to you and Melanie!

Auditors Furrowing Brows
Commissioner Rube Furrow's auditors are furrowing their brows and are growling at him a Michael Vick champion after reviewing the ledger sheet on the SLPL web page entitled "Who Owes What." It seems as if the entire league is in arrears. Inasmuch as Rube must soon cut checks to the winners, he and the auditors have a major concern that there is a huge discrepancy between the league's revenues and the league's responsibilities for winner distributions.
If you're a winner, Rube is happy to deduct your debt from the winnings. If you're a loser, please remit checks soonest to:

The Santa Lechuga Power League has posted playoff standings and stats! Check out the Playoffs tab above, where we have posted Overall standings, Playoff standings, playoff hitter stats, playoff pitcher stats, and team-by-team playoff stats. We will update these daily until the end of the World Series.
Rochellle Accepts Regular Season Crown
Suzie Fricken’ Rochellle made the following statement yesterday while standing on the field in front of a packed house at Lou Gehrig Stadium:
“As owner of Who’s on First?, I would like to thank all the special people who made this year’s 2009 Santa Lechuga Power League Regular Season Championship mine. Thank you to Commissioner Rube Furrow, Police Chief Espy Espinosa, John Steinbeck and all the other cronies at the head office; to Abbott and Costello, for their comedy routine that inspired my team’s theme; to the glorious first basemen of the National and American Baseball Leagues; to the fans of Lou Gehrig Stadium who attended the 2,130 consecutive games for the last 17 years just to hear me say, finally: “I (I, I, I) consider (onsider, onsider, onsider) myself (yself, yself, yself) the luckiest (uckiest, uckiest, uckiest) woman (oman, oman, oman) on the face of this earth (earth, earth, earth)”; to the Bobblehead-of-Lettuce, for bob-, bob-, bobbling along; to David Edison of Cameltowing, Inc. and Dan Klinkhamer of Tacky Cardias, for giving me a hell of a run and keeping things (too!) interesting until the end, to the losers in the SLPL, without whom I would not have become the Regular Season Champ; and last but not least, to Pedregoso Rios, who has given our illustrious league hours and hours of his time so that we, the team owners, can be entertained and amused while sitting on our asses waiting for the money to pour in!!!”

Suzie Rochellle Crowned 2009 SLPL Regular Season Champ!
It’s official. Suzie Fricken’ Rochellle, owner of Who’s On First?, has finally been officially crowned the 2009 Regular Season Champ of the Santa Lechuga Power League! In the 107-year history of the SLPL, there’s simply nothing to match the pure surprise, the pure wonder, the pure weirdness of having Suzie -- the master of the Theme Team -- win anything in this league, much less a major championship. From a “holy schmoly!” perspective, Suzie winning the Regular Season rates, on a ten-point scale, an easy 11. From a “WTF” perspective, it rates a 15. Serious, serious props are due to Suzie. For sticking with her Theme Team approach at the start of the season to making key anti-theme trades when she became competitive. For losing the lead late in the season without losing her head and still finding a way to prevail. For being crowned the 2009 Regular Season Champ! Congratulations to Suzie and her owner and manager, Abbott & Costello!

2009 Regular Season Champ, Suzie Rochellle

Remember yesterday how we said that yesterday might not be the last day of the Regular Season? Yeah, that. Suzie Fricken’ Rochellle’s Who’s On First? won’t officially be crowned Regular Season Champ -- and neither will our Division Champs, the Hitting Champ, the Pitching Champ, nor the Power-Hitting Pitching Champ -- until after tomorrow night’s one-game playoff to determine the Division Champ of the AL Central. Damnit.
But hey, you can still make a trade to beef up your playoff roster.

This Could End Very Badly, Take 2

David Edison, aka Marty Feldman
David “Eddie”
Edison’s eyes are seriously bugging now, do
doubt. After last night’s action, his Detroit Tigers
fell into a tie with the Minnesota Twins. Worse than
that, Eddie’s Cameltowing, Inc., fell out of second
place in the SLPL, losing the spot to Dan
Klinkhamer’s Tacky Cardias. Only one point
separates Eddie and Dan, and a Tigers win and a Twins
loss today puts the Tigers in the playoffs, so
nothing’s over yet. Having said that, it must be
frustrating as hell for Eddie, who just a week ago
stopped Suzie Fricken’ Rochellle’s
Who’s On First? 107-day reign as league leader.
(Maybe) Last Day of Regular Season; Trading
Ends
Today is (maybe) the last day of the
Regular Season, which means that we will (maybe)
crown our Regular Season Champ tonight, when the
final pitch of the final game is thrown. But with one
more game possible to determine if the Tigers or
Twins will be division champ, our Regular Season
may go on for another day. In
addition to crowning the Regular Season Champ
tonight (maybe), we’ll also crown the Division
Champs, the Hitting and Pitching Champs, and the
Power-Hitting Pitching Champ at the end of the
Regular Season.
Teams looking to beef up their rosters with
additional playoff players will need to make their
final trades before the last pitch of the last game
of the Regular Season, whenever the damn thing ends.
Which is to say, you can’t make any more trades
during the playoffs.

The Bobblehead Is Bobblin' for Ian







The Bobblehead-of-Lettuce
is bobblin’ today for Ian Hicks (aka
Old Mackey) owner of Democratic Alliance for the
Betterment of Hong Kong, who’s celebrating his 16th
birthday today. Though a past champ, Ian’s Democratic
Alliance has had a rough season in the SLPL. Word is
that his ownership group was furious with him when
the roster he submitted at the beginning of the
season included the likes of Mike Wilson (who?) and
former pitcher Rick Ankiel. After Ian tried to drop
Ankiel, his ownership group became even more
infuriated and cut him off from the funds he needed
to make additional trades. We expect Ian will be more
competitive next season.
On a side note, later in the season Ian got his
revenge on majority owner Fat Bastard (aka
Jim Hicks) when he shared with this
blog this photo of Bastard:
Fat Bastard, The Dragon?
Happy Birthday, Ian. Kick
butt on your driver’s test Monday!

Rube's Towards-the-End-of-the-Season Report
The brain trust at the Santa Lechuga Power League headquarters (located on beautiful Accidente Mal Road) has completed its exhaustive investigation into alleged allegations that have arisen during the alleged surge of Suzie Rochellle's alleged team, Who's On First?, which has led to a lot of allegers in the rest of the league alleging all sorts of scandalous allegations. Who can blame anyone? Until this season, Ms. Rochellle's performance with SLPL has been nothing short of contemptible. She had been an embarrassment to the league and to everyone who had been affiliated with her. People who once claimed to know Suzie Rochellle wore shopping bags over their heads. But now, out of the blue, she is on the threshold to destiny. She is about to claim the 2009 Santa Lechuga Power League Regular Season title.
As a result, charges of corruption and juicing have rocked SLPL headquarters. A scandal of this proportion had not arisen since proven brain-dead loser Sam Livernois somehow emerged from the ooze to win the title in 2002. This thing is more suspicious than Brady Anderson hitting 50 HRs in 1996 -- or Rich Aurelia hitting 37 home runs in 2001.
As a result of this latest scandal, Commissioner Rube Furrow finally got off his duff several months ago to launch a full-scale investigation of the alleged misdeeds perpetrated by Ms. Rochellle. Unfortunately, the billy goats on Flaco Espindola's ranch got loose the other day and ate up the report, so Rube can only summarize the investigation's conclusion of from memory.
In a nutshell, investigators determined that, yeah, the fix was probably in somehow this season. However, Suzie Rochellle will be listed as the Regular Season champ if she manages to stave off contenders through the weekend, but an asterisk shall be affixed to her name in all future references, i.e. "Suzie Rochel*le."
Trading Report
2009 trading ends with the last pitch of the last game of the Regular Season (including any one-game playoffs to determine regular season champs). Getchyer rosters primed for a playoff run by picking up some more playoff players. Trades are currently $20/per.
Accounting Report
Rube recently checked with his auditors and accountants and was shocked to learn that this year's league participants have been derelict in their financial responsibilities. If the season ended today, Rube would be on the hook for nearly $1,500 to pay the winners. Check Who Owes What at to see how derelict you might be. Then send your check to:

This Could End Very Badly
Word is that David “Eddie” Edison, owner of Cameltowing Inc., is developing an eye problem that would place him on the shortlist of people to play in a Marty Feldman bio-pic. You see, for the past month Eddie has had one eye constantly trained on the Live Stats Tracker to see which Cameltowing players had hit home runs while keeping the other eye constantly on the MLB Scoreboard to see if his Tigers were fending off the Twins.

David Edison, aka Marty Feldman
Unfortunately for David,
his eyes likely bugged out yesterday when he saw his
Tigers drop the first game of a doubleheader to the
Twins and he saw his Cameltowing lose more ground to
Suzie Fricken’ Rochellle, owner of
Who’s On First?, who now leads Cameltowing by 41
points. Fortunately, the Tigers won the second game
of the doubleheader, dropping heir Magic Number to 2.
Eddie will win something in the SLPL before this is
over. He may not win the Regular Season or the
Overall, but at a minimum he’ll win the Bleed-T-Birds
Division. We just hope he doesn’t have to spend any
of his winnings at the opthamologist.
