Hope everyone has been having a great offseason! Taking the opportunity to create a little shitpost blog and soft launch the new LOD website. Decided it was about time to finish the on-again-off-again idea between Chuck and I and get this to a point where it’s presentable. Not to yap on too much about it but you’ll see the entire League’s surviving blog posts archived here as well as a… lengthy history of the League penned by yours truly. Will see what else Chuck and I do with this, but for now enjoy and of course any feedback is welcome (except whining for a couple of AI-generated images, Bryan, bow down to your new robot overlords).
Anyways, back to the subject of the blog. The WBC is well underway and, in typical blog fashion, a slightly late post is here to break down who each member of the LOD is rooting for in this tournament:
Roberto – Puerto Rico
If the blog photo didn’t spoil this one- duh. Lindor himself should be out there as captain for the team, but is unfortunately nursing a wrist injury. Still, this team is definitely poised to make a splash- or at least provide some amazing entertainment like that extra-innings walkoff we saw just earlier today.
Ryan – Canada
After watching the Canadian Hockey team get bitch slapped by some ungrateful Americans not once, but twice at the Winter Olympics, Ryan is hoping that revenge comes in the form of these floppy-headed guys pulling a fast one and taking ownership of the USA’s former past time.
Bryan – Mexico
Bryan may consider flaking on the Packers after not being able to take any more of their crap (I have the receipts), but Los Doyers remain the love he can’t quit. I do say Los Doyers as in the teams of yesteryear that were backed by their working class Latino fanbase, and not the current version catering to the interests of Japanese corporate sponsors and turning a blind eye to ICE’s terrorizing of communities. The Novena Mexicana welcomes you with open arms and could very well win it all.
Nauch – Japan
Nauch, having already defected to the Dodgers and assimilating more into the Asian culture with every passing day, probably already has a pristine Ohtani Samurai Jersey in his closet and wears no shoes in his house. Shohei striking out Mike Trout last WBC is in his top 3 things he thinks about when he makes love.
Chuck – USA
As a red-blooded patriot who has claimed to be at 50 MLB games in the last 2 seasons, nothing will satisfy Cassidy more than seeing the red, white and blue continue their year of domination in sports and as the world police. AMERICA, FUCK YEAH. Also, Paul Skenes is the goat on the mound and has a ridiculously hot gf.
Ant – Great Britain
Muslims are the fastest-growing immigrant group in the UK and half of the roster are Americans who’s grandparents have a vacation home in the Bahamas. Sounds like no-brainer to me. It’s either them or Venezuela since his grandpa Maduro was running the country until… a short time ago.
Erik – Colombia

SoundCloud – Nicaragua
Their flag kinda looks like El Salvador and if they can make a deep run it makes Honduras look worse, sounds like a win-win scenario to me.
Gio – Italy
His name is Giovanni, his wardrobe has many sleeveless shirts and has probably been mistaken as an Italian more than once at Doc’s.
Wings – Cuba
With Fernando Mendoza almost certainly becoming a Raider in May, Pitbull going on tour and Marco Rubio getting ready to topple the Communist Regime in Havana, 2026 will officially be the time for Cuban Boy Summer. Time to start working on my tan.
Hurtado – Israel
