International Baseball Slam VIII Everything Thread (IC)

by **Gregoryisgodistan** » Sat Feb 21, 2015 11:31 am

Hello, and welcome to the International Baseball Slam VIII, hosted by Gregoryisgodistan. This is the IC thread, so please post your rosters and RPs here. Do not make OOC posts in this thread, use the discussion thread which is linked below.

Pots are below. The group draw will be held live on Monday, February 23 at 4:30 PM EST (UTC-5) in the EsperNet IRC Channel #IBSVIII. To access this channel, visit an IRC client like esper.net and join channel #IBSVIII. Remember to include the hashtag.

Cutoffs will be between 8:00 PM and 10:00 PM EST (UTC-5) from February 27-March 7. On March 8, Daylight Savings Time begins in the United States, so the cutoff will be between 8:00 and 10:00 PM EDT (UTC-4). This means that for those users outside the United States and Canada, who will not be on DST yet, and those users in Saskatchewan, Arizona and Hawaii, which do not observe DST at all, cutoff will be one hour earlier. Users in the rest of the US and Canada, who will have "sprung forward" already, will continue to have cutoff at the same local time. I will post a reminder of this after cutoff on March 7. Cutoff will remain at that time until the conclusion of the tournament.

Nominal home team is listed first by convention, though all games are in Gregoryisgodistan.

Random Notes

This is the second time Gregoryisgodistan is hosting the International Baseball Slam, having previously hosted IBS IV.... None of these venues hosted in IBS IV - they are all hosting for the first time.... Before every game, the national anthems of Gregoryisgodistan (as host) and the participating nations will be played. The Gregoryisgodistan National Symphony and Chorus recorded them before the start of the tournament, and these recordings will be used. Gregoryisgodistan's anthem will be played first, followed by the national anthem of the "visiting" team and the national anthem of the "home" team. When Gregoryisgodistan is the home team, its anthem will be played first, but only once.... International Baseball Slam IV was Gregoryisgodistan's first hosting job....

Venues:

Pervert Chaser NAUSJW Ballpark
Hosting: Group Stage, One Quarterfinal, One Semifinal, Final

Pervert Chaser NAUSJW Ballpark, located in District 27, seats 4,000 fans. It is the home of the Gregoryisgodistan National Baseball Team. Beyond the fence is a small patch of woods. Beyond that are some luxury houses, and beyond that is Covello Bay and the District 27 Marina, where the wealthy dock their personal yachts. The marina also has space for foreign ships to dock. It can hold fairly large ships. Ships with capacities up to 50 people should be able to dock there, possibly more if they are small enough. The marina area is off limits to Gregoryisgodistani commoners, who will be executed if they trespass, but foreigners do not need to worry about that provided they have their papers. Teams can either fly into Lord Almighty Gregory National Airport in the Capital District and travel approximately 600 miles by bus or travel by boat, dock at the marina, and rent a bus to drive about a mile to the stadium. (Walking from the marina is also possible.) Teams traveling by boat should inform the Gregoryisgodistani government as soon as possible so that customs can meet them there and space can be made for their boat. Please include the number of people traveling with you.

Slaves R Us Field
Hosting: Group Stage, One Round of 16 Series

Slaves R Us Field is located in District 5, one of the Slave Districts. Sometimes, slaves will play baseball there for the enjoyment of their masters. Slaves are also the groundskeepers and everything else. It seats 3,500 fans. Slaves are all the employees, from groundskeepers to bathroom attendants to concession stand workers.

Strait of Santaguerra Ballpark
Hosting: Group Stage, One Quarterfinal

Located in District 27 on the Strait of Santaguerra, about 35 miles from Pervert Chaser NAUSJW Ballpark, It seats 5,500. Strait of Santaguerra Ballpark offers beautiful views of the most hotly contested strait in the multiverse. Across the strait is the nation of Iesusisgodistan, one of Gregoryisgodistan’s arch enemies. Just about 1500 feet away from the ballpark is a heavily guarded military installment. Within the military installment are about 50 nuclear missiles and thousands of non-nuclear weapons, ready to be shot across the strait at a moment’s notice in the event of a first strike by the Holy Republican Empire on Gregoryisgodistan. Anyone attempting to enter that area, deliberately or not, will be shot on sight, but fortunately it is well marked so fans will know to keep away. Iesusisgodistan is only about a mile away, and fans have views of the Iesusisgodistani coast and many buildings built alongside it. Fans at this ballpark are encouraged to be as noisy and raucous as possible in the hopes of disturbing Iesusisgodistanis. There will be prizes for the loudest delegation - and good prizes, too. Not crappy ones like gruel or 50 greggygodbucks.

Church of Gregoryisgodistan Stadium
Hosting: Group Stage, One Quarterfinal, Third Place Series

Church of Gregoryisgodistan Stadium, located in District 12, seats 4,250 fans. It is sponsored by the Church of Gregoryisgodistan. Praises to Lord Almighty Gregory are constantly played over the loudspeaker, including the glorious songs chanted on Creation Day, the day Lord Almighty Gregory created the multiverse, November 5, Year 0000.

Gruel Park
Hosting: Group Stage

Gruel Park, located in District 2, honors the glorious food of Gregoryisgodistan, gruel. It seats 2,100 fans. All of them receive free gruel upon entry. They cannot throw it at the players or flush it down the toilet, but rather must eat it and enjoy it.

Prune Juice Park
Hosting: Group Stage, One Quarterfinal

Located right next to Gruel Park, and sharing a parking lot, Prune Juice Park honors the other traditional Gregoryisgodistani food - prune juice. All fans in attendance receive 10 bottles of prune juice to drink at their leisure.

Death To Saintland Stadium
Hosting: Group Stage, One Semifinal

Death To Saintland Stadium, located in District 22 on the shore of the Godly River, seats 4,100 fans. It is named after Gregoryisgodistan’s hatred of Saintland, that wicked heathen land where they worship Eye-ee-zus. Fans will be encouraged to chant anti-Saintland chants.

Death To Estenia Stadium
Hosting: Group Stage, One Round of 16 Series

Death To Estenia Stadium, a sister stadium to Death To Saintland Stadium, is located in District 36. It seats 2,900. Fans are encouraged to chant anti-Estenia chants because Estenia is on the Enemy List and has double-crossed us repeatedly.

Military SuperGeneral Lawrence Robertson Memorial Field
Hosting: Group Stage, One Round of 16 Series

Located on the campus of Gregoryisgodistan Military Academy in District 1, Military SuperGeneral Lawrence Robertson Memorial Field will be hosting several games of the group stage. It seats 3,700 and is the home to the Military Academy’s baseball team. It is named to honor a veteran of the Second Hicanan War who was killed in action.

Hicanan War Memorial Stadium
Hosting: Group Stage, One Round of 16 Series

Located on the campus of the Gregoryisgodistan Air Force Academy in District 18, Hicanan War Memorial Stadium seats 2,700 and is home to the Air Force Academy’s baseball team. It is named to honor the deceased soldiers across all branches who lost their lives battling Hicanans. There is a classroom building overlooking the left field fence, but the windows are bulletproof so there is no chance of them breaking. Incidentally, the bulletproof windows were put in for security long before the baseball stadium was built - they were more concerned about bullets and bombs than baseballs.

Professor UZ91APZLA Field
Hosting: Group Stage, One Round of 16 Series

Located on the campus of Gregoryisgodistan Technical Institute in District 16, Professor UZ91APZLA Field is the smallest of the host stadiums, sitting a mere 975 fans. It is named after a former professor at the school who was also the baseball coach, who died tragically of a heart attack while teaching his undergraduate engineering class. Unlike the other host stadiums, Professor UZ91APZLA Field has no lights, so all games will be forced to start at 11 AM local time to ensure they are played when the light is brightest.

Doybert Field
Hosting: Group Stage, One Round of 16 Series

Doybert Field, located in District 30 in the area known as “Greggywood”, is named after the most popular TV character in Gregoryisgodistan, Doybert of Costa Lunians Say The Dardnest Things. It was name that as part of a marketing ploy, as Greggywood is where most movies and TV shows are shot. It seats 2,500 fans.

Navy Baseball Stadium
Hosting: Group Stage, One Round of 16 Series

Located on the campus of the Gregoryisgodistan Naval Academy in District 11, Navy Baseball Stadium seats 1,350 fans. Fans should be prepared to hear and deal with the usual sounds of a naval academy as well as security procedures. The coast is a mere 500 feet away behind home plate, and the stadium is accessible by boat, though you will need to be cleared in advance.

Death To Llamaland Stadium
Hosting: Group Stage, One Round of 16 Series

Death To Llamaland Stadium, located in District 3, was renamed from District 3 Baseball Field during the war with Super-Llamaland in order to intimidate them and build patriotic fervor. It seats 3,800 fans and is used by various local schools and youth leagues. Fans will be encouraged to be as insulting to Super-Llamaland as possible and start angry chants against them, especially if their national team winds up playing there.

Stadium:

Due to the destruction of Lord Almighty Gregory Baseball Stadium by Wolfopian terrorists (OOC: actually a Gregoryisgodistani false flag), all home games will be played at Pervert Chaser NAUSJW Ballpark, formerly known as Covello Field, located in District 27, about half a mile from Covello Bay. It was renamed prior to the IBS to honor former pitching coach and pitcher Pervert Chaser NAUSJW who was arrested in New Wolfopolis during the World Baseball Classic for performing his job, castrating and dickapitating Mount Tamobet players competing in the nude. He is currently in Wolfopian prison. The arrest of Pervert Chaser NAUSJW led to Gregoryisgodistan adding New Wolfopolis to the Enemy List, which according to the Gregoryisgodistani government was the impetus for the terrorist attack.

Pervert Chaser NAUSJW Ballpark seats 4,000 fans. Beyond the fence is a small patch of woods. Beyond that are some luxury houses, and beyond that is Covello Bay and the District 27 Marina, where the wealthy dock their personal yachts. The marina also has space for foreign ships to dock. It can hold fairly large ships. Ships with capacities up to 50 people should be able to dock there, possibly more if they are small enough. The marina area is off limits to Gregoryisgodistani commoners, who will be executed if they trespass, but foreigners do not need to worry about that provided they have their papers. Teams can either fly into Lord Almighty Gregory National Airport in the Capital District and travel approximately 600 miles by bus or travel by boat, dock at the marina, and rent a bus to drive about a mile to the stadium. (Walking from the marina is also possible.) Teams traveling by boat should inform the Gregoryisgodistani government as soon as possible so that customs can meet them there and space can be made for their boat. Please include the number of people traveling with you.

RP:

Choose my Lineup No - follow what was posted.
Choose my Runscorers Yes
RP Injuries Yes, one per game.
Godmod Injuries Yes, but note the above restriction.
Follow my Rotation: Yes
Eject my players: Yes, one per game unless you eject a commensurate number of yours. For instance, you can eject three of my players if you eject two of yours. This includes coaches, who can be ejected but count towards the limit. An exception is that you can eject both my manager and my pitcher for throwing at a batter after a warning (as the rules say should happen) and this counts as one ejection.
Godmod other events: Yes, do anything except kill Lord Almighty Gregory, our head of state and official deity. Failed assassinations and fake assassinations using prop heads are fine. However, expect reciprocation. If you kill one of my players, that's fine, but I'm going to kill one of yours. If you don't TG me first to ask which one I'd be ok with killing, I won't TG you first, I'll just kill one, though if you kill a bench player I would kill one of your bench players, not a starter. I will do this WITHOUT CHECKING YOUR RP PERMISSIONS because it is far too complicated to figure out whether we'd both be in violation of each other's RP permissions or whether you made an exception, meaning we're both fine.
Other: If you do an RP involving my country, but do not mention it by name ("Gregoryisgodistan" without any formatting in the middle of the word such as striking "isgod" to make Gregory~~isgod~~istan) TG me to give me a heads up. You do not need to wait for permission, and there is a chance I won't bother to reply. I frequently search for mentions of my nation so I can reply to RP's, but if you don't mention it by name, I can't do that. If for whatever IC reason you refer to my country by some other name (Gregory~~isgod~~istan, Gregoryistan, Gregoryisnotgodistan, "that country with a name so blasphemous I cannot speak it" etc.) that is fine but either mention my country by name in an OOC note or TG me.
Use DH at home: Yes. But we're using official MLB rules, not international rules, so if you have a starting pitcher who is a good hitter, you may bat him instead of a DH, but then you lose your right to a DH for the remainder of the game even if you go to the bullpen. It also means if you move your DH to the field, you have you bat the pitcher for the remainder of the game. Normally, he would bat in the spot of the player who was replaced, but you could always do a double switch. He has to bat somewhere though.

ABANHFLEFT REVOLUTION
Abanhfleft men's national baseball team

After the conclusion of the absolutely shameful shambles that was the 32nd World Baseball Classic, the Abanhfleft Baseball Federation has decided that the team is not to blame for the atrocious performance that they delivered in just the group stages of the tournament. But that hasn't stopped baseball fans from calling the Revolutionaries "chokers," ignoring the fact that this was the same team (almost) that almost defeated Gregoryisgodistan in the 6th International Baseball Slam. Now it's time for the 8th edition of the IBS, and the Revolutionaries are now really itching to finally steal one from under the noses of the Bat Slaves. The team remains mostly the same from the one that first stepped into the international baseball scene, but the management has been totally shaken up. Former subsitute shortstop Rehoboam Zimmermann had announced his retirement from international baseball after the defeat of Abanhfleft against Gregoryisgodistan in IBS VII, and he is now the new national team manager, replacing longtime national manager Quentin Keppler.

Blue Foxes Head for Debut IBS Appearance

Boško Bogdanov, Head Sports Reporter for the Maljara Times
MALJARA - A sizeable crowd of wellwishers and fans was present at Maljara International Airport today as the Kiana Mura Blue Foxes headed off for their maiden Internation Baseball Slam. 2015 is the first year that Sport Kiana Mura has been able to fund the team to travel to the tournament.

Captain Andon Gáspár, although excited for the tournament, was under no illusions that it would be tough. 'We have to remember that we're going up against some great teams in this tournament - just in our group we have Abanhfleft, Neyosil and Albagaria, who are going to be very tough challenges. It's of course my hope that we can qualify, but we're going with moderate expectations for sure,' Said the 31-year-old, currently playing for Baseballklúb Ralnayja, the Kiana Muran champions. 'At the same time, I think we have a great bunch of lads who are going to give it their all, and if we can do that then I don't see why we can't pull off a few shock results and punch above our weight here. We can't wait to get to the training camp and get started.'

Manager Teodor Matoušek very much agreed with Gáspár. 'My goal is to push the other teams in our group close, and hopefully get a win on the board - that would enormously encourage us and definitely boost the sport within Kiana Mura. It has taken a lot of campaigning to get the funding to get us to the tournament, and I'm sure the team will do their country proud.'

The Blue Foxes open their campaign against Abanhfleft on the 27th. You can watch it live on KM Sports 1, and the Maljara Times will be following the team throughout the tournament.

ER... YEA!
In the surprise of the draw, The Sword Bloke Thunder have been drawn in the same group as the Swordean colony of Screamerstan in the IBS VIII. The Swordeans are hoping for success in the tournament, having done poorly in recent sporting events.

Da Swordeans to win!

Garifunya IBS VIII Preview

The Dutch introduced baseball to Garifunya in the interwar period, with the first official baseball game being played between a team of Dutch soldiers and Dutch landholders in 1932, which the soldiers won 7-1. Baseball was (and still is somewhat) seen as the province of the Dutch and the upper classes, and it was not until 1947 that native Black Garifunyans organized a recognized baseball team. They had played unofficially, but in 1947 they held their first sanctioned match against the top amateur baseball team in Garifunya, composed of whites of Dutch ancestry. They lost 16-2, but by the time Garifunya won its independence from the Netherlands in early 1948, they had already achieved their first victory and their record against the white teams stood at 3-15.

Baseball continued to be a mostly white sport, and nearly went extinct during the period of junta rule (1974-1984). Fortunately, "Baas" Gillaat was a former player and a big fan, and so the Honkbal Lig van Garifunya was organized as the first professional baseball association in Garifunya in the year 1988.

In the last IBS, the Dolfijnen finished 2-4,last place in their group. They hope to improve this year, and they had better improve, because "Baas" Gillaat might put a permanent end to their careers if they don't.

Hello and welcome to the IBS roundup. I'm Bob Halford, standing in for Jim Mandar, who can't be with us today for... Personal reasons.

Well, it looks like it could be quite a competition this year, with the Sidrats drawn into group C, alongside Abanhfleft Revolution, the Albagaria Luck Swingers and the Kiana Mura Blue Foxes. The first match will be against the Swingers, a team whose details are sketchy at best. We here at Neyosil One currently have absolutely no information regarding that team, and so we cannot possibly hope to give you any details as to whether or not we can expect an early victory for the Sidrats. Here's hoping, though! Match 2, coming up this Saturday, sees the Sidrats up against the Revolutionaries, a formidable team. Given their history against the Gregoryisgodistan Bat Slaves, they'll be wanting to do everything they possibly can to get through to the knock-out stages. That could be a very tough match for the Sidrats, but with a bit of luck and some good coaching advice I'm sure they'll make it through with no major problems. The final match of the group stage will be against the Blue Foxes, whose history is currently unknown to our researchers. With Gáspár as the captain, though, they look set to shake up the group and possibly go through to the knock-outs. All in all, this could be a tough group for the Sidrats to get out of.

In the other groups, there could be some tight competition, and it's not going to be an easy one to call. Everyone expects the hosts, the Gregoryisgodistan Bat Slaves, to get through to the finals, where it is highly likely they will meet the Super-Llamaland Tigers. The Sword Bloke Thunder and the SDS Southern Bears look set to go through to the knock-out stage, but beyond that it's pretty much anybody's game.

We'll be back on Saturday for a full round-up of Friday's match against the Albagaria Luck Swingers. See you then, sports fans!

EDIT: Kit design

Nova Anglicana IBS VIII Preview

IBS VII saw the Nova Anglicana Lions finish a disappointing 3-3 in the group stage. They did advance to the semifinals, defeating Gregory Llama Land and Bandwagon before losing to Super-Llamaland. They also fell 2 games to 1 in the 3rd place series to the Darvale Flames, finishing in 4th place. It was a disappointing IBS for them, and the media showed it, paying very little attention to the competition. With a largely unknown field this time around, the crown could be the Lions' for the taking.

In fact, the Lions' group is composed entirely of new teams: Royalsoldiers C.B., the Hambeich Toasters, and the Abidawe Eagles will be the Lions' opponents here in Gregoryisgodistan. None of these teams have appeared in a major international baseball competition before, so the Lions will be heavily favored (and absolutely expected to win) in all six of their games. They will be playing in relatively small stadiums, but baseball is not a big sport in the NAAZE, where most of the fans are expected to come from. Perhaps this tournament in Esportiva could be the launching pad for baseball interest in the region.

Schedule (all games played in Gregoryisgodistan, Navy Baseball Stadium and Professor UZ91APZLA Field)

Game 1: Royalsoldiers C.B. vs. Nova Anglicana
Game 2: Hambeich Toasters vs. Nova Anglicana
Game 3: Nova Anglicana vs. Abidawe Eagles

Style Mod (if applicable): +1

Home Stadium: Archbishop Stadium in the Capital of Londinium (30,000)

Starting Rotation (order as given)
RHP #17 Felix Murphy, 34 - team's ace getting on in age, nearly unhittable slurve
RHP #27 Justin Garcia, 35 - 4 and 2-seam fastball has lost a little but excellent slider still there, command better
LHP #36 Chris Keyes, 28 - features a 70 MPH, big, sweeping curve, has better control now than before, but has great stuff, looks have "Keyes to my heart" signs common at games
RHP #28 Nate Freeman, 29 - former top prospect had an inconsistent couple of years at big-league level, but has picked it up of late, devastating fastball/curve/change moves him into starting rotation
LHP #40 Brad Bryan, 27 - tall, slim frame with long arms, hides ball very well, nasty slider, velocity average, but great pitching instincts

Bullpen
LHP #45 Perry Collins, 30 - takes over the long relief role, great circle-change
LHP #14 Kyle Pauley, 34 - setup man, can get lefties and righties with fastball/curve/changeup
RHP #32 André Leclerc, 36 - Quebecois throws a tough frisbee slider from a sidearm slot, death to righties
LHP #50 Ellis Rhodes, 39 - LOOGY (Left-handed One Out Guy) has tricky 2-seam, circle change, bad platoon splits
RHP #56 Sebastian Lafferty, 32, - great natural stuff, has developed into solid major league reliever, not easily rattled
RHP #39 Donté Smiley, 31, - splitter one of the best in the game, just vanishes, average fastball, practical jokester
RHP #37 Danny Hauser, 26, - 98 MPH fastball helped him K 156 in 136 big league innings, also walked 59, plenty of potential, lot of room for improvement, possible spot starter, another late-inning flamethrower
RHP #23 Trent Burkhardt, 33 - wild card of the staff, has been known to hit triple digits, but the next one could be at your head (by accident)
RHP #25 Jamey Conroy, 32 - stranglehold on national-team closer role, led league in saves a year ago, hard, nasty 2-seamer from a low 3/4 slot

C #2 Josh Heckman (R/R), 34 - Heckman has great instincts behind the plate and is a tough man to strike out, is now familiar with the team, can handle any staff in the league impeccably
C #53 Lamar Ford, 26, (L/R), - Ford is no longer a rookie for the Londinium Capitols, lefty bat is his best tool, but his defense has greatly improved, good speed for catcher, loves spaghetti
C #18 Tommie Griffin, 29, (R/R), - Griffin gets Hightower's old number, big bat and big arm, poor lateral mobility, developing pitch-calling, extra pinch-hitter more than catcher

1B/DH #22 Kareem Al-Aniz (L/R), 37 - this Sunni Muslim takes Fridays off to attend prayers, big black man with a big black beard and big black bat, mashes HRs, including a league-record 501-ft bomb, club relies on him for power
3B #26 Khris Caldwell, 29, (S/R), - Caldwell is a big boy who is surprisingly agile at the hot corner, better from the right side, but respectable from the left, club had to put a clause in his contract forbidding eating contests to control his weight
2B #5 Chris Fletcher (S/R), 35 - Fletcher is a 15/15 guy with more limited range at 2B, much more patient
SS #6 Jarrod Novak (R/R), 34 - still a 20/10 guy with good arm and great range, now-veteran badly wants a championship
MI #4 Josh Jennings, 28, (R/R), - Jennings is a phenom who takes Fletcher's starting spot, blazing speed and great defense, loves to trash talk, sometimes goes too far
CI #50 Barry Glover, 30, R/R, - Glover can play either corner infield position, hits well enough to be an emergency DH, gap-to-gap power, very jolly

OF #20 Kelvin Freeman, 27, (L/R), - Freeman won MVP last year, .326/.379/.544 with 29 homers and 24 steals this year, cannon arm, improving defensive routes, ladies' man
OF #7 Lance Manning, 26, (S/L), - 5'10 speedster continues to rack up the thefts, with 54 SB this year, beats out plenty of infield hits, indiscriminate swinger, needs to take more walks, especially now that he's leadoff guy
OF #24 Tony "Flick" Barnes (R/R), 30 - Barnes has made right field his own, has good power and a sweet swing, not bad on basepaths or in the field
OF #29 Dana Jordan, 30, S/R, - shows good speed and average, ideal to form either half of a platoon or act as defensive replacement
RF #10 Leon French, 28, R/R, - poor batting average holding him back, but great power

Graig Lowman #60 (Manager)

Dante Woodward #1 (Hitting Coach)

Charley Battaglia #47 (Pitching Coach)

OOC: Due to possible conflicts tomorrow, I am posting the opening ceremony today. IC-ly, it was moved up a day due to rain forecast for tomorrow.

Lord Almighty Gregory National Stadium in Gregoryisgodistan was filled to the brim with fans from all over the mutliverse, both from Gregoryisgodistan and abroad, waiting for the start of the Opening Ceremony for International Baseball Slam VIII. A countdown began, starting from 60, counting down to 1. For each number, the back of the jersey of a famous Gregoryisgodistani athlete who wore that number was shown. Most of them were baseball players, but for some numbers not commonly worn by baseball players, particularly the higher ones, other athletes were shown. Finally, it got to 1, and then a second later, fireworks went off as the show was about to begin.

"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening and welcome to the opening ceremony for International Baseball Slam VIII, hosted by Gregoryisgodistan. The Glorious and Holy Nation of Gregoryisgodistan welcomes you to our country. Now, ladies and gentlemen, please rise for the raising of the Gregoryisgodistnai flag and the performance of the Gregoryisgodistani national anthem by the Gregoryisgodistan National Symphony and Chorus."

The National Symphony and Chorus is introduced, and as the flag is raised, they perform the national anthem. All Gregoryisgodistanis in attendance sing along, as they are required to do by law.

Gregory Gregory Lord Almighty
We Praise You We Worship You
Gregory Gregory Lord Almighty
Master of Gruel and Prune Juice
He Gives Us Gruel And Prune Juice Yes
We Worship Him as a Deity and Bow Down To Him Whenever We See Him
On TV or In Person or In Statue
Gregory Gregory Lord Almighty
We Love You We Worship You
Gregory Gregory Lord Almighty
A million praises unto you
Gregory Gregory Is Immortal
He Considers Us His Little Playthings
A term He Only Uses In Jest Because He Has Infinite Mercy for Us All
Gregory Gregory We Adore Thee
We Bow Down To Thee In Praise
Thou Art More Smart Than Sir Einstein So We Say "Einstein Who?"
Gregory Gregory Master of Slave Labor
We Are All Your Slaves in Heart
Some Of Us Are Slaves to this Nation
Some of Us Just Wish We Were
Gregory Gregory Inventor of the Solar Bomb
Which We Use to Vanqiush Our Enemies
Gregory Gregory Master of Everything
Thou Art Lord and Thou Art God
Gregory Gregory You Wrote This Song
Our Favorite Song In The Entire World
We Sing it Every Hour on The Hour
Like Clockwork We Praise your Lordship
Gregory Gregory We Bow Down Again
We Fly This Flag Outside Our Home
Gregory Gregory We Have Shrines in Our Homes
In Our Shops and Everywhere
Gregory Gregory We Worship You Day and Night
In Our Dreams We even Worship You
Gregory Gregory This is the Only Song We Sing!

"Thank you. You may be seated. Now, please welcome the flags of the 28 participating nations in the International Baseball Slam."

Flagbearers carry flags of the 28 nations, emerging in alphabetical order starting with Adoxinia. After Garifunya, Gregoryisgodistan is skipped over and it goes directly to Gregory Llama Land. Each country is introduced one by one by the announcer as they enter. This flagbearers are not actually from those countries, but rather are Gregoryisgodistani volunteers helping with the games. Finally, after the Yayness flag was announced...

"And finally, your glorious hosts, Gregoryisgodistan!" Youth KU10ZLAA9, a 13-year old girl and singer, enters the stadium carrying the flag. She plants it in the middle of the field as a microphone dropped in from a wire above, and she begins to sing "Under Southern Skies", the theme song for this tournament. In contrast to the last IBS Opening Ceremony Gregoryisgodistan hosted, this one seems a lot more pleasant and less nationalistic.

There's a peace in our hearts and a hope in our hands,
We're the family of children; we come from many different lands.
Our time is just beginning; our race is yet to run,
But if you will take us with you, then we have already won.

Under the southern skies,
Together in this land,
Every voice in celebration,
A family hand in hand!
Under the southern skies,
As one we rise,
And turn our eyes to see
All the wonder of the future
In a world of harmony.

There's a great spirit rising from the desert to the sea.
As it sweeps across this southern land it calls to you and me:
We're the dreamers and the dreaming; we're the face of things yet to come.
Every child can be a hero if our world can live as one.

Under the southern skies,
Together in this land,
Every voice in celebration,
A family hand in hand!
Under the southern skies,
As one we rise,
And turn our eyes to see
All the wonder of the future
In a world of harmony.

Under the southern skies,
Together in this land,
Every voice in celebration,
A family hand in hand!
Under the southern skies,
As one we rise,
And turn our eyes to see
All the wonder of the future
In a world of harmony.

There is thunderous applause, both from Gregoryisgodistanis and foreigners, as the song concludes. Then, the PA announcer speaks again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the supreme leader of Gregoryisgodistan, Lord Almighty Gregory."

All of the Gregoryisgodistanis in attendance stand and bow to Lord Almighty Gregory as they are required to do by law. Most foreigners in attendance stand as well, out of respect. Then Lord Almighty Gregory steps up to the microphone.

"Thank you. You may sit now. To all those from 27 other nations, welcome to Gregoryisgodistan. To our glorious Bat Slaves, it's good to have you at home for this tournament. We've missed seeing you for a while. I'm sure you'll love the opportunity to play before cheering fans and your home crowd. Let me start by saying that Gregoryisgodistan is a great place to live once you get to know us. Sure, the media says bad things, but as you can see tonight, we are a beautiful place full of smiling children and loving citizens who love their leader and their life.

"The International Baseball Slam gets underway in earnest on Friday, but right now, I am officially declaring this, the International Baseball Slam VIII, officially open."

There is a loud round of applause from the fans in attendance, and the people once again rise and bow to Lord Almighty Gregory as he walks off. The PA announcer speaks again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Singer POA9192SJA, former WorldVision performer, to perform "Lord Almighty Gregory." Sing along if you want, and sing it strong, let's show our national spirit."

So much for the lack of nationalism.

(OOC: Click here for the tune.)

We love you Greg
You are our God forever
Our love for you is always strong

All through the year
Spring, winter, fall and summer
You’re always right, you’re never wrong

Lord, you’re our Lord
Ruling us, we love you, we love you….

Lord Almighty Gregory
(Wu-oh-oh)
Loving you is all we do
(We do We do We do)
Bowing to you
(WU-oh-oh)
Is our favorite thing to do….

God, you are God
We praise you, we bow down, we love you….

Lord Almighty Gregory
(Wu-oh-oh)
Loving you is all we do
(We do We do We do)
Bowing to you
(Wu-oh-oh)
Is our favorite thing to do….

Lord Almighty Gregory
(Wu-oh-oh)
Loving you is all we do
(We do We do We do)
Bowing to you
(Wu-oh-oh)
Is our favorite thing to do….

Indeed, the crowd really was enjoying it and singing along, and even the foreigners got into it for the "Wu-oh-oh"s and the "We Do We Do We Do"s. It was truly a memorable performance. Then the PA announcer came back.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome The Greggywubbies!"

The Greggywubbies, wearing baseball caps on top of their Greggywubby heads, but otherwise just wearing their Greggywubby suits, come out onto the field. As always, Greggy-Weggy is wearing the purple Greggywubby suit, Gregly is the green one, Greg-Greg is yellow, and Go is red. They begin to sing in their cute little, bizarre Greggywubbies voices in a portion that is obviously designed to appeal to children.

OOC: The tune to this song is "Yankee Doodle", aka the Barney theme song. In spite of this, the Greggywubbies look like the Tellitubbies.

Gregory is God of all
Even talking ponies
And he rules the multiverse
And kills all of the phonies

Gregory, we worship you
Gregory, we love you
Gregory, we adore you
And may we always praise you

Welcome to this tournament
Because our Lord Greg said so
If he did not want you here
Then you would be dead, so

Gregory, we worship you
Gregory, we love you
Gregory, we adore you
And may we always praise you

We're the Greggywubbies and
We welcome you to our nation
We hope that you enjoy our land
And don't get constipation

Gregory, we worship you
Gregory, we love you
Gregory, we adore you
And may we always praise you

That is why we give you gruel
And lots and lots of prune juice
That way you won't need some help
To try to take a deuce

Gregory, we worship you
Gregory, we love you
Gregory, we adore you
And may we always praise you

But Lord Greg, he never poops
Because he is our God
Have you heard of God who poops?
We bet that you have not.

Gregory, we worship you
Gregory, we love you
Gregory, we adore you
And may we always praise you

This is the last verse of the song
We hope that you enjoyed it
But enjoy IBS some more
It's just getting started

Gregory, we worship you
Gregory, we love you
Gregory, we adore you
And may we always praise you

The Greggywubbies take a bow and walk off stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have just one performance left. Please welcome the Gregoryisgodistan National Symphony and Chorus once more to perform the "2014 Overture."

And indeed, the spotlight shines on the symphony and chorus. Ordinarily, it would just be the orchestra playing this piece, but today, they are unveiling special choral version, so the chorus is singing at the beginning. The 2014 Overture is the organization's signature piece, a 12 minute epic classical-esque piece celebrating the military victory over Hicana in 2014 and the total destruction of that country. This is also Triangle Player IZK010ALZAL's moment of glory, as this is the only song they perform which involves a triangle. He only plays it for about 30 seconds seconds around the 7 minute mark, but he gets up on the jumbotron when it happens. This is his full time job, just playing the triangle for 30 seconds or so whenever they perform the 2014 Overture. His brother, Tambourine Player IIU99KDNAB, plays his tambourine for a few seconds around the 8 minute mark, another instrument seldom used in other works. Around the 4 minute mark comes the most-well known segment of the 2014 Overture, the one that crowds always cheer when it is played, pretty much the one time it is acceptable to cheer a classical music performance in the middle of the song. It makes them feel almost like rock stars, for better or for worse.

Towards the end, real cannons are fired off by the Gregoryisgodistani military, and as the piece reaches its climax, its brand new choral climax, just before the 11 minute mark, with cannons firing, bells ringing, and everything else, fireworks begin to go off above the stadium. After the choir sings their bit, the famous bit from the 4 minute mark is repeated louder and more boldly as the crowd goes wild again, before the final triumphant notes are played and cannons are shot off again amid fireworks. Even after the piece concludes, the fireworks continue to go off for another 15 minutes or so, at which point the ceremony ends.

"Thank you for attending tonight's ceremony. Please arrive at your home or hotel safely and enjoy the tournament. Thank you to all of tonight's performers and volunteers, and welcome to Gregoryisgodistan."

The Southern Bears in group A

The Southern Democratic States Southern Bears have been placed in group A against 29th ranked Estenia, 31st ranked Garifunya and unranked Frenline Delpha.

Estenia

Estenia are what I could call a mid-ranked team. They're a pretty solid team but they will face a very hostile crowd, it is not sure how it will affect the Estenian players. They could use it as a motivation or it could affect them.

Garifunya

Another mid-ranked team, Garifunya's strength is at pitching and defensively. Abraam de Bruin is the best pitcher in the Garifunyan league. Their batters are average, one to watch is the 3rd baseman Maarten Diepman who hitted 18 homeruns in 66 games in the Garifunyan league.

Frenline Delpha

The Anacondas are unranked like us and not much is known about them. They posted their batting line up but their pitchers are still unknown. Right fielder Minecart should be a player to watch.

Schedule

MD1: SDS Southern Bears vs Garifunya Dolfijen @ Slaves R Us Field - DH used

MD6: SDS Southern Bears vs Estenia Blue Stars @ Slaves R Us Field - DH used

Stadiums

Slaves R Us Field - Slaves R Us Field is located in District 5, one of the slave districts. It seats 3,500 fans.

Death To Estenia Stadium - Death To Estenia Stadium is a sister stadium to Death To Saintland Stadium. it is located in District 36 and it seats 2,900.

Editor's Note

It's pretty shocking that our country has to play in a "slaves r us field" located in a slave district, but I believe this information wasn't available for our baseball federation when we signed up cuz I'm sure they would have opted out knowing that. The team is already in Gregoryisgodistan and the group draw was made so it's too late to opt out.

MUSINGS OF AN ARMORED DINNER JACKET
Official blog of Ibrahim Ahmadinejad, Right Fielder of the Verbergerkinnh Cubs and the Abanhfleft Revolution

INTERNATIONAL BASEBALL SLAM VIII, HERE WE COME!

The Abanhfleft national baseball team poses for a picture in Gruel Park, District 2, Gregoryisgodistan, where they will play their first group game in the International Baseball Slam VIII. (Courtesy of Crescent News Network Sports Channel/Umkhonto Thabowane)

Hey there, guys! Did you miss me? I sure did! Sorry for the long inactive spell, but there's been a lot of things going on in the national team, and it didn't seem right to be going off to write about it in my blog, so that's why I've been unnaturally quiet for all these months. But since all that drama is now news all over the country, maybe it's time I put an insider's perspective into all that malarkey.

So, a few months after we came very, very close to defeating Gregoryisgodistan in IBS VI, the national team was invited to play in the 31st World Baseball Classic. We didn't start off well in that tournament, truth be told, and while we did try our best to win as many games as possible before the last matchday, we still ended up woefully behind (not really, we were just fourth place, but that might as well be last for all we cared), and we were subsequently eliminated from the tourney. IBS VII was no better. We managed to survive the group stage despite winning only two games out of six (although that may be because all the other teams in the group except obviously the group winner also had similarly abysmal records, but we got the positive run differential), and then we crashed and burned against Gregoryisgodistan--those guys!--in a repeat of IBS VI's final series.

And don't get me started on World Baseball Classic 32! It looked like the three countries that had agreed to host the thing didn't really coordinate that well, and as a result games were being constantly rescheduled, and games that already happened sometimes had to be replayed because of all sorts of unbelievable shit that I can't believe went down in such a big and respected tournament! If I remember correctly, that was the first tournament that we actually managed to finish in the bottom of the table! I mean, talk about a shameful display! And this was after the reorganization made by the ABF after the failure to advance against GGS in IBS VII.

Now let's talk about that reorganization. A year or so ago, you might have heard that the Abanhfleft Baseball Federation has sacked the entire coaching staff of the national team after we failed to defeat GGS in IBS VII. Rehoboam Zimmermann, the substitute shortstop with the big flowing Jewish beard, announced his retirement from international baseball following our exit from IBS VII, and immediately after he was tapped by the ABF to become the new head coach. He was also given carte blanche to recruit any and every staff member that he believes will give the team every possible advantage over our opponents. Zimmermann looked like the national team's best hope in reclaiming the glory that it had suddenly lost after all the other Fleftic teams for different sports met much more success. His coaching debut was World Baseball Classic 32. And we all know how that went down.

All right, that's enough about history. We've got a new tournament coming, which means another chance at redemption. Hopefully we won't drop the ball this time.

IBS VIII is being held in Gregoryisgodistan. We already have a bit of a baseball rivalry going on with them, so the entire team expects a bit of a hostile reaction from the home crowd. Luckily we don't have to worry about raining gruel because in Gruel Park (where we're going to play our first game) everyone gets free gruel, but they're supposed to eat it, not chuck it to anyone they hate on the diamond. The first team we're gonna face is Kiana Mura's Blue Foxes. They're first-timers to this tourney, so they probably have no idea of what to expect. But they're got a fire in their belly, so we really shouldn't be underestimating them. That said, this first match will be something to watch. Provided the Revolutionaries don't mess up.

This should be enough now. This is the Armored Dinner Jacket saying, ciao, peace. Catch you in my next post, which I assure you will be coming as soon as humanly possible now. That's an Armored Dinner Jacket promise, guys! It means I will do it, come hell or high water!

"Hello, and welcome to Strait of Santaguerra Ballpark for today's International Baseball Slam group stage game between Gregoryisgodistan and Yayness. Yayness has proven themselves too incompetent to submit a roster, so as is our policy, we will be using highly insulting names for their players. On the hill for Yayness is Donkey Tootface. He will be opposed by the ace righthander Soldier USUALSO, going for the Bat Slaves. Even though this game is in Gregoryisgodistan, as are all International Baseball Slam games this tournament, Yayness is the nominal home team, so the Bat Slaves will bat first. As a reminder, this game is the exclusive presentation of Sports TV and may not be reproduced, re-transmitted, or disseminated without the express written permission of the Gregoryisgodistan Broadcating Corporation. That legal disclaimer was brought to you by the Gregoryisgodistan Police Department - if you commit a crime, we'll know about it, and you will be punished.

...

"Top of the fourth inning, Tootface has only allowed one hit so far, and Chauffeur JJIASDES is stepping into the batter's box. The pitch, lined line a bullet, that is a base hit to right field. Chauffeur JJIASDES thinks about going for a double, but Koala Sillyfart fires it in and makes him think better of it. It will be a single for Chauffeur JJIASDES, and he's aboard with nobody out. That will bring up Soldier JSIAISKS, one of Gregoryisgodistan's best players. The pitch, hit on the ground, a slow roller to short. Shorty Porty fields, he has just one play, that's to first for the out. Runner moves to second for Enemy Crusher Bobby Furgles. Here's the pitch, hit in the air deep to center, and DROP THAT BALL ON COSTA LUNA BECAUSE - no wait, the umpire is signaling spectator interference for a ground rule double. They're saying a fan reached over the wall and grabbed the ball. That's the second base ump, Robert Sandovarez of Super-Llamaland, who made the call. And as Enemy Crusher Bobby Furgles walks to second, he doesn't like the call and neither do the fans. They're chanting "DEATH TO THE UMPS" loud and clear, and Enemy Crusher Bobby Furgles is going to oblige by crushing Sandovarez to death. Sandovarez is now dead and they are summoning an alternate umpire but the call will stand. And now they've thrown Enemy Crusher Bobby Furgles out of the game! He's not happy and he's letting them know it. He's storming off the field and he throws a water cooler back onto the field as he enters the clubhouse, earning a standing ovation from the crowd. Meanwhile, police are storming onto the field to arrest the other three original umpires for interfering with an Enemy Crusher, a capital crime, and three more alternate umpires will be summoned - we have the full alternate crew now. Those three umps will be executed, but the first replacement will not. And it looks like they're going to do it right now. Three umpires being executed right here on the field, as the crowd goes wild. Finally, they're dead and we're ready to resume but the field looks a little bloody.

"After all that, Grammar Enforcement Officer OOA0010 will pinch run on second and Barber LIEUIUSH will come to the plate. Lined up the middle, diving catch by Porty, tags the base for the out. Inning over just like that, after all that commotion. How bizarre.

...

"Bottom of the fourth now, two out, and here comes Clowny Wownydumbo, and he hits a blooper to center that will dunk in for a base hit. Executioner 9D8AH fires in and holds the runner to first. Here comes Lozer Kantspell. He's the first baseman. He swings and drills it deep to right, and gone, a home run. It's a two run blast and Yayness leads 2-1.

"Bottom seventh, here comes Kantspell again, facing Soldier USUALSO with a runner on first, and oh no, he goes yard again for a three run blast. It's 4-1 and surely that will do it for the pitcher. Indeed, in comes Carpenter DHHAUS. And that's unfortunate.

...

"Top of the ninth. One out and nobody on for Navy SuperAdmiral Kurt DeathToSanJoseGuayabal, who will pinch hit for Executioner 9D8AH. And Navy SuperAdmiral Kurt DeathToSanJoseGuayabal lines it down the right field line, fair and that will go into the corner. Navy SuperAdmiral Kurt DeathToSanJoseGuayabal rounds second and will stop there for a one-out double. That will bring up Shirtmaker 9DHUAS, the leadoff man and second baseman. He loops it into right for a base hit, and that will score the run easily. It's now 4-2 for Chauffeur JJIASDES. Here's the pitch, hit on the ground to first, only one play, he tags the bag for out number two and the runner moves to second. That will bring up Soldier JSIAISKS for the tying run, again. And they're going to intentionally walk him with the backup catcher on deck. And they can't pinch hit for him since they have no catchers remaining. Here comes Grammar Enforcement Officer OOA0010. The pitch, hit in the gap to deep right center, does it have enough? It's off the wall and bouncing back towards the infield. One run scores, two runs score, Grammar Enforcement Officer OOA0010 into third, he may round the bases, no they'll hold him there with a two run double to tie the game. And the fans are going absolutely nuts! Here comes Barber LIEUIUSH, he pops up to second, and that will do it. But we head to the bottom of the ninth, tied at 4.

...

"Two outs in the bottom of the ninth, Gruelmaker 128SUAUAUDY8181 pitching to Farty Warty. He swings and misses, strike three, and we have free baseball!

...

"Lumberjack JSUUSI99387 leading off the tenth. He lines it, off the glove of the first baseman and into right for a base hit. He'll stop there and the go-ahead run is aboard. Here comes Grammar Enforcement Officer CUPSI19291, swung on and hit deep to left, DROP THAT BALL ON COSTA LUNA BECAUSE IT IS A BOMB! HOME RUN BAT SLAVES, THEY LEAD 6-4! AND THE FANS ARE GOING NUTS!

...

"Bottom tenth, two outs, two strikes, Chef SHSUUAISSADF pitching to Stupid Tupid Pancake, he swings and misses for strike three and the ballgame is over. Bat Slaves win a thriller in comeback fashion! What a game!"
