shes prolly forgotten all the buttons and shit, so she'll need some fool to send/post a link to all the controls. im sure theres a site that has the booklet instructions on it.
im on board with saying she's a loser until wednesday night.
*edit*
pro's and con's
remember, she's between jobs for about another 4 weeks so shes got lots of free time, and she drinks a lot.
Somehow I don't think she'll have much of a problem figuring out the buttons on her own...Even though she is a woman.
I voted tonight.
And I'm confident she'll also slaughter the computer tonight.
a couple weeks ago when she was up her pitching was getting a little crafty vs the computer, but moses needs to turn them double plays.
and be more aggressive on the basepaths. the race is on.
The computer is so shitty, I also vote for tonight.
Thanks Brad for the game.
I am glad you guys have confidence in me. Although I have been drunk since noon so i sayi beat the computer by tomorrow night.
TBT is just scared I am going to kick his ass the next time i see him.

i manned the bats and she had the gloves. i scored 30 some runs and still lost by a couple.
I vote that my vote is somehow an insult to her parental skills.
edited, just for you joe. ;D
That's why you're my pal.
anytime. now go change your dang vote.
p.s., r we gonna be roomies at the cotut? and by roomies, i mean i sleep in a closet or bathtub.
I still gotta check with Riley...sorry, I meant to do that the first time you brought it up. There is/was a chance he'd have the fam with him, so I've been trying to give him time to figure that one out.
no problem, i dont need to barge in on your 3 way action with reily and his wife. ;D
whatever happens, i'll getter figgered out.
So even when you see how to spell Riley you still spell it wrong, eh?
damnitt..for the 100 hundredth time...im a bad typer not a bad speller. ;D
yah jerk.
I did not play RBI last night instead I passed out shortly after dinner. Today i shall play as soon as I am done with the house chores, yet it is Taco Tuesday so i will not be playing into the wee hours of the night.
P.S. I procrastinate which means I suck!
sucking is quite alright.
2 Questions:
1. How do you avoid hitting pop flies and foul balls?
2. How in the hell is it legal for a guy to go into the stands of people and get a ball.
1. either swing earlier or later
2. drive, to be the best?

just found out recently rbi has already become a family affair so yeppers, parental skills are in the mix. she was playin with her daughter zoey. apparently zoey can bring it in rbi.
moses, email was sent out with player attributes and notes.

You should tell moses that you can't use cheat sheets in the COTUT.
damn that joe dirt...friggin cotut rule police anyways. :(
I didn't say it, TBTer. So now you can't spell and you can't read?
and coca cola will make me impotent.
bottoms up.
damn you tbter. i think we'll be able to split our room with you--but no spelling errors (what you call "typos").
ok then, i just wont spell anything at the cotut
my cell battery was low and then it died so i was cut off, but moses was trailing 8-6 in the 8th inning (i believe) of her game. she was Bos, playing Min.
maybe she makes a comeback, but she prolly loses.
We need an update here.

If she held the CPU to 8-9, she'll win one of her next couple games against them
Shit I have had no time to play. Thursdays I have my psychology 101 class and I have been trying to get errands done.
Tonight is friday with no plans except golf at 11am. I'd say I beat the computer tonight or at least pass out drunk trying.
I think once i have mastered not hitting foul balls and pop flys I will beat the computer. I am getting really close, i just need more time to play.
play houston
:pissed: screw this cheating cocksucking game I really suck
i guess this answers my pm i just sent yah.....
i guess things still havent gone so hot just yet. ;D
Quote from: moses on 04/22/06, 05:25:39 PM
Hey there,
I decided to take a break from RBI because I was about to break the game. I was close to winning when all of a sudden they started stealing bases on me. Since this is new I started freaking out and yelling at my friend who was on the phone and he said that is legal. I said NO it is not!
She must have been playing St. Louis
i also bought tecmo baseball which i had sent with rbi. maybe she needs to try that for a while and see how it works.
btw, im looking forward to playin tecmo baseball...IIRC, ryno said that it doesnt totally suck.
I was playing St Louis.
Tried the Tecmo baseball and I had a tough time at bat because it shows from the front of the batter instead of behind. Other than it seems the little men in outfield run faster.
You have to remember that I enjoyed Tecmo Baseball because it has the Cubs.
I played a lot of tecmo baseball in my younger years.
so....is it worth a shit or not? or was it worth my 4 dollars that i paid 2 weeks ago.....how bout that?
well, then i need to factor in that it was sent to moses with rbi, meaning that i'll need to travel an hour and a half to get the game...so thats gonna jack up the price quite a bit there.
tecmo baseball sucks.
that is all.
no, it doesn't suck.
it doesn't suck. It is just a different game to play. it does not have the same feel as RBI.
RBI is classic and in order to play any other baseball game you need to know the classics. I can say it is much different because the view is different. RBI is a little more difficult to play than Tecmo baseball because it makes you react quicker and think quicker than tecmo.
Tecmo is only better because the guys in the outfield seem to move fast but that could be an illusion.
Then again i have been drinking since noon and this is even hard to type let alone think about....
so don't take my word for it.
I have never played NES Tecmo Baseball, but I can say that the SNES version is one of the worst baseball games I have ever played.
It just doesn't make sence. Tecmo made two kick ass NES football games. How did they fuck up the baseball one so much?
Quote from: BDawk on 04/24/06, 07:24:32 AM

because it wasn't RBI

They didn't have an MLBPA / MLB license.
Well, they should get that

Tecmo Super Baseball had a MLBPA license (like RBI, it didn't have MLB), and it still sucked. The gameplay was terrible.
Moses, the key is to get a couple games in a week and not overdo it early. You don't want to quit RBI out of frustration. You can be a female RBI pioneer, think of the prestige and potential for male RBI groupies!
Gantry that is awesome! I cannot wait to have groupies.
I took today off and will resume play tomorrow. I still have not beat the computer.

No it is not and I will never tell.
By the way Gantry said male groupies, so a lesbian fling would not fit.

Not lies i think it was stated that particular situation was not my most embarrassing moment. Only three people on the face of the earth know about my most embarrassing moment. No one of them was not invloved..
Back to RBI: Played for short time today doing better but have no patience. I tend to blow it when they get a few runs on me. I have to stop playing and get off the computer to make enchiladas for the ex grandparents. They are coming over so he can take a look at my a/c unit. Fun times maybe i can get him to play a few games with me.
helluva day to get the ac looked at......brrrrr. we had some sleet/snow up here...not accumulating, but still there.
Yeah but i am preparing for the summer. I went golfing with him on sunday and he said today would be a good day for him to come over and take a look at it. I was just going to call an electrician.
It is now time i try and play a little RBI. I have not played in two days maybe i will not kill the game today.
Dear Moses,
BEAT THE FUCKING COMPUTER ALREADY!

I AM TRYING! I did come close today 13-14 and the game is still intact.
don't let me down
Moses, you can do it.
Since I voted "tonight" I'm pretty sure it's impossible for me to be wrong.
(Unless of course it happens during the day)
Which of course means it will happen tommorow. Billy Bean told me so.
I am determined it will be tonight.
Has anyone been coaching you or is TBT just mocking your attempts?
No he has been helping a little. He sent me a worksheet that i have not looked at. Mostly because i am afraid it will read like stereo instructions. I looked it over once when i was at his house.
But he has also been leaving harrassing and threatening phone calls...
Here is a tip. Take the first pitch of every at bat the first time through the order. That way the other pitcher will wear down and he will be very hittable the second time through the order.
There are two things stopping me from winning.
1. Pop flies and foul balls. I am getting better but i seem to get a lot of outs this way.
2. When i hit a pop fly and it is caught; the guy who was on first has now made it to second, and I cannot get him to return to first base. causing two outs on one play. This type of thing makes me want to break the game.
One thing for sure is i am glad i do not have a potty mouth jar right now. My daughter came from the bedroom shaking her head. Mommy that is a bad word, you are not suppose to say that.
on the pop ups you are going to ahve to have the runner retreat before he reaches the next base.
You just have to master the timing in order to avoid those pop ups. It is just a matter of practice.
I played RBI until 2 am. I think i know what I am doing wrong and yet i cannot stop doing it.
When I am up to bat and go to swing i am pushing the controller/directional pad towards the ball. Instead of standing still. Could this possibly be why i keep hitting fouls and pop flies? If so I may be fucked if i cannot get control over my fingers.
The scores are getting better the computer has only beat me by one or two points every game.
I also came to the conclusion the computer is not going to let me win. EVER!
...no girls just suck at video games that don't have mario or luigi in them.
or Zelda. Yes i am sure you are correct.
girls just suck at baseball.
get your ass in the kitchen!
Will you come mow my yard? I am sure i do not belong out there.

That probably doesn't hurt too much, but I'd guess it does affect things some - since you're moving forward, the ball will be further back in comparison to your player, and you'll hit the ball to the opposite field (a guy standing on the right side of the plate hitting it to the left, for example). Hits that direction tend to be weaker. Some people here like to do the opposite - move back as you swing. It doesn't work well if the pitch is curving, but it's been said to work well for straight pitches.
What team are you using and playing against? The best teams are Na, Dt, and maybe Ca, while the easiest opponent is Ho.
I have been mainly sticking with Detroit. I have been playing MN a lot and Houston. Last night though i really thought i was gonna win playing CA the score was 5-0 until the 7th inning when on of their players hit a homerun. This caused me to lose spirit and they scored on me a few more times.
ending score 6-8. Bastards.
and pleazse tell me that your throwing some garbage balls just off the plate when the computer has 2 strikes...or those drop balls.
also how the defense going? are you mastering the quick switch over from when you realize your infielder cant get the ball to then sliding your outfielders into position.
moses...that problem really more depends on where your batter starts off in the box to say whether it is producing the fouls/pop ups. I am sorry that I am speaking poorly of your parenting skills when I say this.
also are you moving in compliance with where your pitcher is standing on the mound. if he moves towards the outside part of the plate on the rubber, then crowd the plate.
if he moves towards the inside part of the plate on the mound, then your batter needs to back off the plate a bit. your more likely to get the fat part of the bat on the ball and not get jammed that way.
Yes I am doing everything you told me. I have also gotten used to not letting the little guy get all the way to second on a pop fly. This has caused less outs as well.
I also made a double play last night! I was so proud of myself. ha ha I almost called you and woke you up.
I was hit with the ball quite a few times while playing NY and they walked me several times. I think i scored four points on them just walking me and hitting me with the ball. Funny thing the first time it happened.

Joe Dirt I still like you even if you are talking about my poor parenting skills. I am usually positioned a little behind the plate and like tbt said depending on where the pitcher is, is how close i get.

C'mon shawna, we've been over this more than once now. :(
Also, maybe this is too technical of a point, but TBT's advice blows. You can't really say that on an inside pitch you have to back the batter up--again, it depends on where the batter starts in the box.
TBT, I'm just going to come out and say it--your parenting skills suck. Is this how you'd teach your child? For shame.
my kids will be weaned on tecmo long before rbi.
Come on moses! Make it happen already!
Quote from: GDavis on 04/27/06, 03:23:06 PM

you might want to start at the top of the batters box and not move back. just move side to side adjusting to the pitch's direction.

Thanks teddy this actually worked. I just about beat the game last night when bitch ran across the game and fucked it all up. I almost killed her. 11 to 4 in the 7th innning game ruined.
who is "bitch"?
how was your game ruined?
Bitch is Lilly the cat. I call her that because everytime I am doing something she attacks me with her claws.
She bumped the game system and the game went back to the start menu.
heh, the ol' inadvertant game reset - I HATE that

You score RUNS in baseball, not points.

People calling RUNS points is like fingernails on the chalkboard to me.

Yes TBT has pointed that out....several times. Sorry.
it's OK for girls to call runs "points". i find it somewhat endearing when girls make those sort of errors.
any guy that does that is a pansy.
any time a player hits the ball it's scored as a hit too. sooooo cute.
moses...ahem....tecmo baseball?
its friday.
Fuck! I am so sorry. I totally forgot, i will try and get to the post office tomorrow morning. Maybe it would be good if you called me, i tend to space things off that are not directly revolving around me.
no biggie. if i half ass like the game, it'll just screw up my house chores duties anyways.
Okay it was sent today at approximately 1:30pm.

So even when you see how to spell Riley you still spell it wrong, eh?
joe dirts greatest post ever. a tribute to the daily stupidity that is the TBT.
Have not even played for a few months. No win yet i am a loser.
When you do finally win I really need for it to be on a Tuesday so I can claim winning of this puhl.
As long as it happens at night, I'm set.
I haven't voted yet - waiting to see when it happens so I will be correct
Next Weekend is a sucker bet.
i said next weekend, so don't do it til next sat or sunday.
How much money is riding on this bet? If someone wants to give me a thrid of the money I will make it happen whenever they want.
I'm not even going to ask what she's willing to make happen for 1/3 of a sum of money...
i assume moses still has not beat the computer?
no but i did play last week and lost multiple times in a row.
are you playing sober?
not usually
