Undone previous review due to lack of substance. Nominally Humane! 04:22 16 Apr

Here. A review of an article that has been VFH'd. And no one bothered reviewing it for two months, so I'll be doing this instead. Besides, I got shitloads of commitments outside the Internet. |Si Plebius Dato' Joe ang Kyurem CUN|IC Kill | 10:04, May 5, 2012 (UTC)

Humour:	8.8	I am loving this article. At first, I was really skeptical about the article, fearing that while it may be funny for one person, it is unfunny for another person. I am just the another person I am talking about here, because I am not that much of a fan of sports (and I believe that it is more fun playing it than watching it). You have followed the HTBFANJS guide really closely. Now, I would like to hint at the points where I find it funny to your sports fan and also to me: Lede: The lede is really good. It especially gives a description of what the Minor League is all about, and why the Minor League is really shit: "It was given the title Minor League in 1869, in ironic contrast to the Major Leagues, as its clubs had Minor fan support and exhibited a very Minor quality of play". Well, this is really off to a good start. League Classification: I loved your rank inflation reference, in which there is A, AA, and AAA, but do you really have to use an Uncyclopedian in-joke called AAAAAAAA? But seeing as you made a reference in the classification system being a series of A's, I will give this AAAAAAAA joke a pass for this context. Characters: OK, this a really long section, so I'll be as comprehensive as possible. You did a brilliant job at managing to stay close to the truth, deconstruct the workings of the Minor League Baseball and still manage to generate humor from it. You explained something that from my view, has an obvious fact (and I am looking at the "Media" sub-subheading) yet plays out as humor. That is the beauty of humor; find something really, really obvious as part of your running gag, and try to generate a humor as subtle as possible for your target audience. Everything else: All I could say, is that you did a good job at making a one liner at the bottom on how MiLB is similar to MiLF. The whole humour is from top to bottom, from beginning to end, and I am glad that this is a perfect piece of work. Suffice to say, this is all jokes and punchlines, and some one-liners.
Concept:	9.2	This is a concept that has been once laughable, but managed to pull itself off to a great success they call "award winning". What you got, is a concept that the Minor League Baseball is underrated, but really has a minor following, and hence, really neglected. I guess that's a joke and a punchline combined. You even included some info about the classifications and the main players in the most minute detail. I believe that you had given this article the Major League treatment for a league of baseball that has been neglected (I think) on Wikipedia. I also noticed that you borrowed some in-jokes from Uncyclopedia, yet used it in context (see previous note on Humor). Every concept was a deconstruction of the Minor League Baseball inner workings and bureaucracy, and created into something that looks like a parody of Major League Baseball. Did you borrow anything from Baseketball or some other sports movie? Because if you did, I guess that you have pretty much have your bases covered.
Prose and formatting:	9.3	The formatting, to say, is pretty impressive. You used the reference tags to make a couple of one liners (as I believe that this is what these are useful for compared to UnNews). Your article has been well-planned out from the first glance into the consequential glances of mine. You also have a knowledge of basic formatting, as well as some advanced knowledge of it, such as putting two references and linking it to just one reference note. There are absolutely (well, almost) no red links on the article and the heading tags are used appropriately. If I can recall, there are a few spelling mistakes, but you did check over for some I guess, right? But there is one thing missing on your article: a {{wikipedia}} tag. To me, it is essential for any article that has a Wikipedia article for the fact-hungry to understand the basic humor you put in.
Images:	8.4	I really love the images. The captions have beautiful comments, and each caption is humorous, akin to Cracked.com's Craptions (before they ended them on March 2011). You suited a baseball fight image with a caption "The playing standard of Single A baseball was deemed so poor the pitching length had to be dramatically decreased", for example. This is what I believed to be an example that other people like myself should follow. A glitched advertisement hoarding for Hannaford has a classic one-liner, "Hannaford Supermarkets gets its message to fans despite a malfunctioning sign". Your images are appropriate in the sense that you mastered the art of humorous images: find a picture, take time to analyse it to find any funny meanings, and then stick it in the article.
Miscellaneous:	8.9	Averaged your score via this cheerful little machine.
Final Score:	44.6	I am not sure whether you are new to Uncyc or not, but you had done an impressive job at writing this article. I commend you for the efforts, if you are a first timer, but if you are here for so long, I commend you for the efforts as well. Keep up with what you are doing now, because I believe that writing sports-related humour is your signature. In all my four years, I suck, but you, you finally reached the top! Congratulations on your highlighted article-hood (statehood below).
