Today's Theme:  I will click "random article" on Wikipedia ten times.  No more, no less.  And I will assign that article to whichever team I feel the article suits best.  This could be great or, more likely, a disaster but fuck it, the idea is there and I'm running with it like a team with Ron Roenicke at the helm. 

Mitch Stetter Moonbounce (386.1) beat Noah's Traveling All-Stars (330)

:(  This game makes me a saaaaaaad panda.

Still, though.  Moonbounce is a bad team.  A bad, bad fantasy team.  If you were to make a baseball team made up of guys of Polish descent, you would also have a bad team. Sure, you would have decently solid guys like Mark Grudzielaneak and Doug Mentkievitch, and you could also have Joe and Phil Niekro.  You'd even have a couple stars like Musial and Yastrzemski.  But then you would be littered with nobodies.  You could win a few games riding those stars, but overall, you would have a not so great team.  That's my Traveling All-Stars, and that's why I get the random article of Sambród, a village in a district in a county in Poland.

Mitch Stetter, on the other hand, gets Drmanovići, a village in Serbia.  Because look up a list of Serbian baseball players.  There's only a handful and the only one worth anything is Pete Vuckovich. 

The Microbrewers (351) beat Tomato Tabata (320.3)

The Microbrewers is the 1988 Formula One season?  Because he raced off to a quick start?  Oh god this was an awful idea.

Tomato Tabata is the Children & Nature Network because he has Albert Pujols and you don't want your kids to see negative things.  Boom!  Nailed it!

Vegetarian Donut Diet (339.2) beat Bourn Identity (262.5)

Vegetarian Donut Diet is Jatupong Thongsukh, a thai soccer player who has had two international goals.  Because like Thongsukh, VDD has had moderate success but not enough to make it to the big leagues.  Wait, our premier league is technically the big leagues of BCB fantasy baseball.  Not enough success to make it to the top of the big leagues!  Yeah!

Bourn Identity is George Arney, a journalist for BBC.  Sure, you've both had small successes (Arney wrote a seminal book on Afghanistan, apparently!), but in the end, who's going to remember you?

Sledgehammering Whippersnappers (330.6) beat Trickle Down Fantasy (315.4)

Sledgehammering Whippersnappers is Mon Pays, a French song meaning "My Country" in english.  According to Wikipedia "The song, with its lyrics about winds, cold, snow, and ice, of the solitude of wide open spaces and of the ideal of brotherhood, has become a kind of anthem in Quebec, with many people seeing it as expressing the free spirit of the province".  Therefore, it's only fair that the team with the only decent current baseball player from Quebec, Russell Martin, gets this article. 

Trickle Down gets 101 Philosophy Problems, a book featuring 101 humorous short stories, all posing a different philosophical problem (but a bitch ain't one!  Amirite?).  Well, the 4-8 TDF has problems of his own.  Including being 4-8.

Misery Loves Company (322.6) beat Miggy and the bottomofthe5th (283.6)

Misery Loves Company is Vincent de Paul Nyonda because, much like Nyonda was/is likely the best playwright in all of Gabon (Africa's Eden!), Misery is likely the best team in our league.

Miggy is The O'Jays Discography because for some reason, it just seems right to put an R&B/Soul group with Dikembe, a man who, I am sure, would love to see the people all over the world start a love train.
