Walling was late to practice today. He will not start. Is this okay Mr Manfreddy?
I would like to replace Kirby in the 8 hole with someone who sucks less. I'll go with Puhl.
OK, new versions of the ROM are attached. The Empire's line-up is the same as last week's. Shooty replaced Puckett and Puhl. No more changes.
Press Release
(http://acct.tamu.edu/smith/starwars/darth_vader_esb2.jpg)
The Empire will not be starting Denny Walling due to the fact that he was late to practice today by one minute. Ryne Sandberg has demonstrated a relentless work ethic by arriving to practice 3 hours early to work with hitting coach Ryno in the hitting cages. Coach nomaa and Executive Consultant Ryno have expressed enthusiasm towards starting Denny Walling, but I shall not tolerate undisciplined players who lollygag to practice late.
We are highly anticipating our next game with the 2 time defending champions, The OC. It would be an honor as well as symbolic to defeat them and end their playoff hopes and their quest for a 3-peat.
We are fully aware that The OC has a lot of pride as they are the two time defending Fantasy Champions. They are desperate for a win, and I can sense the hunger and eagerness from The OC for a victory.
However, I also sense that the fear in The OC is very strong. If we can jump out to an early lead, I strongly feel that The OC will fold up their tents and go home. They have an enormous amount of pressure on them to win. The Empire shall exploit this as we intend to play heads up Empire style baseball in front of our loyal fans.
The Empire-OC clash will be a very emotional battle. Reggie Jackson has a very personal vendetta to wage against TBG and BDawk as he is more than determined to show The OC that it should indeed be treason to trade him. Potatoes has guaranteed two homeruns. We are aware that Pedro Guerrero and Wally Joyner also have personal vendettas to wage against The Empire, but coach nomaa has developed a pitching strategy to minimize their sticks.
This upcoming battle shall be very passionately contested. If The OC chooses not fight with the heart of a Jedi Knight, then they shall meet their destiny for this season as they are on the brink of their program going to shambles.
May the Force bless our Empire.
Do you ever not ruin stuff?
I mean for christ's sakes, does your swedish league team issue inane assinine press releases before every low level high school game that you play?
That being said, i didnt read four words from you previous blithering post.

Attitudes such as this deserve a force induced choke-hold. . .. . .. I've not mastered the power of the force just yet, so you're safe for now.
hey guys, i need to turn over full-time control of the oc to bdawk. it seems that i can't be online much lately and i feel he could run the team better than i can at this point. we look forward to turning a corner under new, if not hairier, control and winning some doggone ballgames.
you realize bdawk has been around for 4 days don't you?
that equals about 3 years for most of us
well i'll just try to check in more. i'm not sure if my dee-nee time will be more or less now since i'm an invalid.
So you guys know, I'm doing all five games, and then having a big Baseball Tonight style blowout after the videos are released. Three down, two to go...
Crap. I'm going to post the first three game videos now since I'm getting killed at work and don't know when I'll get to the next two (probably this weekend)
thanks for doing our game. let's see if we can win a game for the gipper.
winner winner...chicken dinner!
Shalom Beeyotch!
wow. darkside, you better watch this game.
the oc has been pleased to go on a low carb diet that includes more meat and less potatoes.
It was a well played game. We were hitting seeds right at people. We should have put it away early. Fuckin Donny Baseball picked a great day to take a shit. The Empire's post game conference is scheduled in one hour.
OC still has some heart left. Fuckin Saberhagen sure did pick great day to deal.
sabes is a socal guy. he's back at home now. all he needed was some tasty waves, blah blah blah...
I just watched the GDavis-Cop game. GDavis got shut down...does George Bell ever make an out? The Cops had a good outing with the sticks. Evans went oppo and Henderson hit a blast. GDavis lack of speed hurts him. Oh well, The Empire and GDavis are still in first, but there is a whole lot of ball left.
Fuckin Wally Joyner killed us. Reggie hit a nice oppo bomb. Ryne Sandberg is in a bad slump.
Post Game Conference
Today in front of our loyal fans, we came up short to the OC. This loss is a tough one to take considering our early lead of 7-1 in the second inning.
As usual, we have failed in putting away a team while the momentum was on our side. Mike Krukow did not spot the ball well and as a result, the OC capitalized on his mistake pitches.
We played tough and The Empire does realize that winning every week in the RBI Fantasy League is not easy. The OC are two time defending champions and they outplayed us today. This is a very tough league where anyone has the ability to win on any given day.
Today is over and done with, and we are now assessing our scouting report for next weeks crucial division game against the Coprophiliacs.
Q: Lord Darkside, The Empire has yet to win at home. Can you address this problem?
A: I am considering taking away the curfew and allowing our players to party all night and wake and bake in the morning to take the edge off.
Q: Wade Boggs and Ryne Sandberg were a combined 2-11 at the plate. What is your response to their bad day at the plate.
A: Wade Boggs will no longer hit in the two hole. Will Clark shall be promoted there. Ryne Sandberg needs a live chicken to take the curse off him that has followed him from Chicago..
Q: Are you pleased with Reggie Jackson's 3-5, 1 HR, 4 RBI performance? And are there any regrets about trading Pedro Guerrero and Wally Joyner considering that they torched The Empire today?
A: We know Reggie will put up big numbers and we are very happy that he demonstrated great leadership today. We do not regret the trade, and we are not surprised by the great performances of Guerrero and Joyner.
Q: There are whispers going around that The Empire will not be able to recover from this devastating loss which will lead to a losing steak and possibly missing the playoffs. What do you say to that?
A: Nonsense. You do not know the power of the Darkside. The Force will shift our way and The Empire will grow strong with the force. We still fully expect to win it all and we will. I guarantee it.
No further questions and may the Force bless our Galactic Empire.

The Attarack @ Hip Young Popes game video is attached. Watch if only for one of the worst defense performances ever (and frankly, some of the most bizarre computer-controlled plays ever).
8 errors by one team....what a circus, and a complete game by a pitcher. The DoveRBI division does not seem that strong.

The baserunning in the top of the first I've never seen before and I've seen literally thousands of watch games. Apparently the overthrow caused Raines to forget he had to tag up.
Overall very weird game but I believe that was the only thing I'd never seen before.
Nimrods @ Poopydicks game video attached? Yes! Game recaps? Tomorrow! Your face? Warded!
I was going to do a big recap of the week, but fuck it - I'm exhausted from travel and not feeling very creative. So, I'm just going to post the recaps...

BREAKING NEWS:
HOLLYWOOD, CA - The Fantasy RBI Baseball Commissioner's Office today announced two trades, effective for Week 9 and both involving The Empire. In the blockbuster deal, The Empire has sent Reggie Jackson and Denny Walling to The Poopydicks for Brian Downing and Chris Speier. Shockingly, it is the second time this season that Reggie Jackson has been trading, having come to The Empire from The OC earlier in the season.
Additionally, The Empire has sent Jim Lindeman to The Frank Tanana All-Stars in exchange for Kirby Puckett.
I'm always going to pronounce Coprohiliacs as "Crap-o-holics"
I've got 2 games left to score this week, hopefully I'll have stat sheet up tomorrow afternoon
the empire = warded
Poopydicks have shit all over their face.
The empire has no weaknesses in the lineup. Catcher is the weakest link, but our signal caller is no slouch with the stick.
You fuckers should go ahead and hand over that trophy now.
Ha! The Empire has had a long term plan all along. Reggie is awesome, but we parlayed him and now we get Speir and Downing....more balance to our lineup as opposed to Reggie Jackson and Denny Wallling. The Poopydicks and the OC have been had....see ya..wouldn't want to be ya.
We should maybe lose one game more at the most for the rest of the season...including the playoffs.
Oh, The Empire has begun it's dynasty.
I have to admit that I got a little scared of the Empire when they acquired Reggie. Now that they've traded him for spare parts I can breathe easier.
Week 8 spreadsheet attached
Fighton...here's my new lineup for week 9 (not like it matters):
Smith
Maldanao
C Davis
McGwire
Carter
Schmidt
Lindeman
Johnson
New lineup for the Poopydicks:
Wilfong
Ruppert
Reggie
Dawson
Brookens
Brenly

Puckett
Boggs
Mattingly
Murphy
W.Clark
Downing
Speir
Pena
Sandberg
Dykstra

bout fucking time you benched ryne.

Coach nomaa, we had no choice. It was either him or Walling. Walling has no pop and no speed. Our bench was all outfielders and I needed another week to maneuver....And now we have the most balanced and productive lineup in the league. Just wait and see how The Empire will put teams away now. My plan will manifest to perfection and a championship. Just lead them on the diamond and let the system run on autopilot.
I ran a few practice games on my "scrimmage rom" with the fantasy teams.....and the Poopydicks are going to find out just how shitty Walling is and how selfish potatoes is. Oh, we stole away alright :D
The Force is now violently strong with The Empire.
what's the deal with the giant vibrator in the back ground?
It's a poopydick that we captured when we demolished the Poopydicks back at their crib.

I assume Puhl should be #1 on the bench?
That's what I assume. Just got back from Vegas last night, so I'll get to games sometime this weekend.
