The "Bench" includes the four players that played the most games, but did not have the most starts at a specific posistion. Pitching is obvious. Chicago White Sox.

AIn late July, Gottfried was DFAed after the acquisition of Chill.I.Am (.311/4 with IND) from Atlantic Ocean

B He. Hug suffered a major injury in late July while celebrating after a home run. He was replaced by a the platoon of Russ Canzlertwo and Alejandro of Aza

C Shelly Dunktank (.215/4) and Johnny Nightmon (.160/1) also played part of the year at the utility position, but CanzlerTwo was on the bench for the longer amount of time, primarially due to the other two sucking. For example, Dunktank would always hit fly balls to shallow left, giving that part of the fied the nickname "Dunktankville."

DHaagen Dazs was placed on the restricted list after punching the side of the stadium and injuring his hand. He was replaced by Jordan Milkman (4.77), Mickey Mouse House (4.71), and Chris Christie (2.76).

CPlastic was traded to New York in August. Young gun Luigi Trivisonno became the closer for the rest of the year.

-A lot changed between 2009 and 2010, as the republicans rebuilt.

ATern was DFAed after 41 games. Young gun Alejandro of Aza (.326/1) played sporadically during the final 39 games

BIndiana suffered a career-ending injury in mid-August, was replaced by a conglomeration of the players listed in D below.

CNow known by his legal name, Roberto Hisnandez

DVanmona was optioned to the Hamburg Ers of the European rookie league after starting the year horribly. A large amount of pitchers including Nidoran♂ Perez (6.69), Joel Billy (8.89), Santa Sleigh (12.25) and Kimmy Jimmel (4.70) pitched during his and Indiana's stint away from the team, but they all sucked (except Jimmel, but he was traded to the Water Baseball Players after the season).

2008
Starting Lineup

Starting Brotation

Bullpen

AGrady Sizeless suffered an injury in August. After recovering from the injury, he suffered another one in the offseason, then another one in Literally Spring Training the next year. Then more and more injuries until his contract expired after the 2011 season. Unlike the Indians with the similarly named Grady Sizemore, the Republicans acted fiscally responsible.

BRomney missed Literally Spring Training and the first two weeks of the season, as he was running for president.

2007

AMichael Jasons was the fourth outfielder for much of the season, however, David Compaqucci was also on the team for a short run.

2006

AOceaner was used as a pitcher occasionally

BAvian has a goofy delivery style, similar to that of Cy Old

CAfter Wickguy was traded in late July, Vanmona became the closer but did absolutely dreadful. The team then had a closer by committee that included Dave Jasonis, Rafael Beentocourt, and Thomas Mastny.

AOrdinanceton missed three weeks in late July and early August. Grady Sizeless filled in nicely for him. Once Ordinanceton came back, Sizeless took Chaney's place on the bench.

BOceaner was used as a pitcher occasionally

CChaney was placed on the Republicans' roster to reduce the likelyhood that he could do damage to the Bush/Chaney '04 campaign. Kinda like Joseph Biden and the 2012 Detroit Democrats. After the beginning part of August, he was kicked off the roster because better players needed his spot. He was brought back for AUgust call-ups.

DAlthough Balogna is listed as the utility player, he could only play first base and DH.

EScottart and Josemenez were replaced in mid-June and late June, respectively, because they sucked. They was replaced by a Who's Who of below-average relief pitchers, including Marty Shea (who was too much of a ball hog [which is difficult in baseball, but he pulled it off]), Rick O'Shea (who often threw wild pitches off the backstop), Cliff Homerosh (who was not ready to pitch at the major league level), Michael Stevens, Jeremy Gufour (unlike most Jeremys, his name is based on a player actually named Jeremy), journeyman Lou Pickles, and very young gun Avery N. Chloe.

2003
