Today is the day we've all been waiting for - our yearly RBI Tournament! Me, Lips, Potsie and Sperling will square off in a quest for the belt. Hoping to start at noon, play the drinking game until the tourney is over, then go out for Mark's 27th birthday. Should be very interesting...
Can I get a DEE-NEE?!?!?!?!
DEE NEE!!!!!
Ok, the tourney schedule is set. Here you go...
Round-Robin 1:
Lips vs. Gantry
Pots vs. Mark
Round-Robin 2:
Mark vs. Lips
Pots vs. Gantry
Round-Robin 3:
Lips vs. Pots
Gantry vs. Mark
Game positions are out. Many predictions flying back and forth. My ass is on fire. The eggs benedict was a bad idea for breakfast. Gantry and Lips up first. Pots and I sit out. Big first round, big first round.
Game 1 SHOCKER!
Lips has first pick, takes Detroit and gets slaughtered! It'll be a uphill battle for the champ now.
Here are the stats:
CAL (Gant) - 13 - 11HRs
DET (Lips) - 3 - 2HRs
Lips: "Detroit just couldn't swing; they didn't have any pop."
[size=48]Dee-Nee!!!![/size]
[size=24]Rob Fucking Wilfong!!! 3 Dingers![/size]
Game 1 of the Pots/Sperling series. Pots gets first pick and goes with Detroit and they continue to struggle. Detroit goes 0-2.
DEE-NEE for me!!! I'm guaranteed not to go 0-6. That dubious honor will only go on my record for one year.
Pots (Det) - 6 - 3HRs
Sperling (Cal) - 10 - 9HRs
Game 1 complete:
Gantry - 1-0 13 Runs, 6 innings
Sperling - 1-0 10 Runs, 9 innings
Pots - 0-1 6 Runs, 9 innings
Lips - 0-1 3 Runs, 6 innings
Game 2 of the Gant/Lips series...
Lips takes Boston over Cali.
This game is much closer. It's the Top of the 5th and Detroit (Gantry) is up 10-7.
You can cut the tension in this room with a knife.
Unbelievable....Lips couldn't come through in the clutch.
Det (Gantry) - 13 - 9 HRs
Bos (Lips) - 11 - 9 HRs
A lot of pop ups and groundouts to third.
Gantry improves to 2-0, Lips falls to 0-2.
[size=24]Down goes the champ!!![/size]
Potsie posted, but it deleted, this is how it went:
DET (Sperling) - 13 runs, 10 HRs
BOS (Pots) - 23 runs, 18 HRs
Pots had a TON of stroke. I'm lucky it went 8 innings.
I beat LIPS!!!! DEE-NEE!!! The champ goes down!!!
Lips falls to 0-3.
DET (Sperling) - 18 runs, 15 HRs
BOS (Lips) - 15 runs, 10 HRs
I scored 11 in the first three innings, but Lips put in Hurst and I couldn't hit him. It was close to the biggest choke in history, but luckily I pulled it out.
I'm not sure of the runs and innings info, but it looks like this:
Gantry, 2-0
Sperling, 2-1
Pots, 1-1
Lips, 0-3
Pots and Gantry up right now
I am so Dah-Nah. Plain and simple.
Absolute Dee-Nee!!!
Gantry (Ca) - 18, 15 HRs
Potsie (Dt) - 14, 11 HRs
[size=18]Rob Fucking Wilfong!!![/size] - 5 for 5, 3 dingers. I am the world's best Rob Wilfong player...
Standings halfway through the final four:
Gantry "Wilfong" Zettler is 3-0
Mark "Birthday Boy" Stehling is 2-1
Scott "Potsie" Miller is 1-2
Jamie "Champ to Chump" Lipitz is 0-3
Real fast... a big win, though the climb to the championship has just started...
Mark 0, 0 homers
Lips 10, 8 homers
Gantry (3-0)
Mark (2-2)
Lips (1-3)
Pots (1-2)
I'm done...
Pots 22, 18 homers
Gantry 20, 11 homers
Pots 12, 9 homers
Lips 9, 7 homers
The returning champ is done.
Gantry (3-1)
Pots (3-2)
Mark (2-2)
Lips (1-4)
I lost to Gantry.
It was a good game and I'm not sure anyone is going to document it, but it all comes down to Lips beating Potsie. I honestly don't see it happening, but I'm definitely on the Lips bandwagon.
I'll take Detroit next game, but without my win and a Potsie loss, it's worthless.
Does this mean we can expect another video of the final game? Last year's "Destiny (http://dee-nee.com/rbi/video/tourney2k3/Destiny.wmv)" is still classic.
Nightwulf
Pots (Det) 13, 10
Lips (Bo) 19, 16
All I can say is even though I am out of it...I had a lot of fun in my last game.
Who know French?
SivOoooh Play DayNewMa!!!!
Sperling (DET) - 16 runs, 6 HRs
Gantry (CAL) 18 runs, 14 HRs
I'm out. So unsolid.
I still can't come through against Gantry.
If Gantry chokes, Potsie will win. Otherwise, Gantry will kill Pots.
All I can say is...
Dodongo DOESN'T like smoke!!!!!!!!
S'il vous plaît, Denoument!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
S'il vous plaît, Denoument!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have to give two shot outs, here.
1. Doverbi, the combination of drinking and RBI is fucking solid. I don't think anything beats that combo.
"COOOOOOOoooOOOooOOoOOmbo Breaker!!!!" (Killer Instinct Video Game)
But fuck the Nazis!!!! I mean seriously, are you gonna tell us why you are in fucking Germany.
2. Sucka, thanks for thinking I was gonna win the tourney, but today was just a horrible day. Oh well!!!! Cubs famous last line, "maybe next year"!!!!
And lastly...
S'il vous plaît, Denoument!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
COOOOOOOoooOOOooOOoOCooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCooOoOOoOOOoOOOOCooOoOOOoOOOOmbo Breaker!!!!
For Doverbi...
Suck a FUCKING dong, Tyrone O'Chong!!!!!!
"To all my friends..."
Ok, honestly, who has seen the movie "Barfly"?!?! By the way, it's fucking solid!!
And why am I still posting?
Ok, Sullivan just hit a 5-spot for Potsie...
But honestly, who has seen the soft-porn featuring Dildo Baggins?
I HAVE!!!!!!
Don't fuck with...
The Lord of the G-Strings
G just won the first game of the finals...
G (Det) - 21, 17 homers
Pots (Bo) - 14, 14 homers
That destiny clip was pretty comical...but damn, that tv sucks. what's with the horizontal, thick-ass stripe?
JD, that typically happens when recording with a video camera. The TV, itself, is cool...
[size=24]Champion!!![/size]
Congrats to Gantry. Sounds like it was a great tournament.
Lips, I'm sorry Dodongo doesn't like smoke. Stupid Dodongo.
I know I gave you a post-championship interview, but if I didn't congratulate then, I will now...
Congratulations.
Definitely a great tourney, only sporting one loss.
Congrats to the Champion.
The post tournament activities were strange to say the least.
I got clocked or something because my nose is all bruised up. Next, Pots was underwear-less because Lips ripped them off. I hate being chased by Pots and his underpants. Lastly, the Israeli matzos are everywhere.
What the hell?
The Dee-Nee house is pure chaos, matzah everywhere. My cat (Roman) just fell through the ventilation system this am, taking quite awhile to figure out where he went. Found him covered in soot inside the furnace...
I feel like ground-up ass, gonna take a little while to soak up the victory. I do not remember the last four games and only sorta remembered that I won it all when I woke up. And I didn't even go to the bar like the rest of them did. Craziness...
But I am the champion! Dee-Nee motherfuckers!!!!
QuoteNext, Pots was underwear-less because Lips ripped them off.
What the hell? What the hell?!?!
Anyway, congrats, Gantry, on reclaiming the Dee-Nee title. To the rest, better luck next year.

Pots was underwear-less
So that's where his avatar comes from.
Thank god I passed out before the whole underpants stuff started...
The hangover has subsided and I'm loving life again. Wonder how long it'll last for Lips & Sperling, who drank for a couple more hours, including shots...
Gantry, just a friendly reminder: change your signature to read this year's champ.
Hope Lips' and Sperling's livers didn't jump out and attack them.
Good call, done...
Like others were saying on another thread. Hangovers work in mysterious ways. I woke up just fine, believe it or not. It's all about eating a corned beef sandwich, about 4 mozzarella sticks, and a bunch of chips at the bar.
As for Sperling's roughed up nose, that was all me. Mark started something, and then I got him in a Joe Heskett cradle. It was a very solid cradle, by the way. So after I did that, Mark wanted to start from our feet. Anyways, at one point, I planted Mark's face onto the wooden floor. We were pretty drunk, and wrestling pretty hard. I woke up today with a wrenched neck, too. So congrats Sperling...at least you got me with something too. All this wrestling took place while Gantry and Potsie were going at it, during the finals.
As for Potsie. First, he brought out a shirt during the tourney, that everyone believed to be dead. After the tourney, I went ahead and did a Hulkamania on it. So what did we do afterwards? We put it in the front yard, and burned to a fucking crisp. On the grass, nonetheless. Yeah, we were idiots. But Mark and I watched it closely, and the shirt alone burned down to nothing...before I stompted it out.
And then there was the underwear. Mark was chasing Potsie around. Potsie was shirtless at this point. He turned to Mark, celebrating for some reason. His back was to me... So for no reason, other than pure comedy, I gave Potsie a very nasty Wedgie...tearing the shit out of his underwear. So Potsie fucking stripped right in the fucking kitchen, took off his underwear, and then put his shorts back on...and started running around hitting people with his underwear. Mark started chasing Potsie around, leading them to outside. After a bunch of chasing, I jumped out from the bush, to briefly tackle Potsie. He quickly got up, as I didn't want to have anything to do, with the underwear.
Mark, Potsie, Brian, Skutter, and I then met up with Steph and Sarah at the bar, where we all started off with a very bad imitation of an Alabama Slamma'. They were quite nasty - the bartender was ass. We hit up quite a few pitchers of Lite and most of us ate some food too. Mark, Potsie, Brian, Steph, and Sarah then hit up a shot of something - I can't quite remember what they did. Well, the night was winding down and we were getting up to leave. The table that we were sitting at had a huge tablecloth. I jokingly asked the group, "Do you guys think I can pull it, without anything falling over?". Everyone was like "DON'T!!!!". So I stayed away from it, and most of us walked out of the bar. Then, all I hear as I was walking to the car was "CLANK CLANK CLANK!!!!!!" I looked back, and I saw Potsie walking away from the table...with no one else in site. Well, as you could have guessed...Potsie attempted to be a magician and tried to clear the tablecloth without any movement of the glasses/plates. He wasn't too successful. The next thing I know, Potsie is surrounded by like four of the bar's employees in the parking lot, asking him questions. After the employees eased up a bit, Potsie got into our car...and we were off. After talking to Potsie in the car, he thought the guys were gonna call the cops on him. Oh yeah...as we were leaving, Steph's car's fucking panic-honk kept going off...and it wouldn't stop. After about three full minutes, and turning the car on and off...the honking ended.
Skutter and I dropped Mark, Potsie, and Brian off at Gantry's place. From there, I have no idea what happened...
All-in-all, a pretty eventful night.
Holy shit I'm jealous...sounds like a great weekend (minus the underwear gnomes). Potsie is a fuckin' magician...that kills me...funny shit. Congrats to the GodFather...Gantry is king once again.
Lips, sounds like a fun-filled night with plenty of drunken hijinks (is that really a word?) Potsie is a fucking animal. Gantry, what did your neighbors think about drunken RBIers wrestling in the bushes and whatnot? Had to be a classic scene.
Great story Lips. I wish I was there. I was going to come over after work to watch the tourney, like I told you the day before. However I learned that Laura's cousin and her boyfriend were in town and we had to pick them up at the airport. DAH-NAH! I lost out on the festivities. 'Bama Slamma's huh?
One neighbor was popping in and out drinking Old Style along with us. She was the interviewer for parts of the night. Her mom knows our craziness by now so it doesn't phase her too much. As for the other neighbors, I have no idea. We don't really talk to them and I wasn't party for any of these outside festivities. If I get a fine in my mailbox from the townhouse association, then I'll know it pissed someone off. Hopefully nobody saw the flames...
This was a perfect monday morning read. Great tourny guys. Awesome particiapation in letting us on the net read about the tourny. Congrats Gantry, well done!
We'll definitely be adding more content this year as well in terms of pics and videos. Probably will be done later in the week, but here's a shot of the champ:

Nice.
Holy SHIT! A Mohawk!?!?!
A tell Lips to get fucking on it. Tell him to get the interviews from the qualifier and the finals up already!
The Alabama Slammers tasted like NyQuil. They were atrocious. However, if they were good, I probably would've been puking that night.
Lips and I did watch the shirt burn. Lips made it seem that we were the responsible ones there. I was so drunk I was just fixated on the fire.
I don't know if it was the wrestling or having to drink 5 beers in a 18HR game by Pots, but during the Finals, I sat on the couch (more hunched over) and was thankful that I wasn't playing. I tried the one eye focus technique and that wasn't really working.
I don't know how I didn't fall over or get hit by a car when I was being chased around by Pots. God, I'm an idiot.
No hangover for me the next morning. I was a little lightheaded, but the TB cured that.
Oh, before the entry of the "shirt thought dead", Pots was wearing a shirt representing a Nintendo controller. Another drunken injury, for him this time. I guess I did A-B-B-A too often and he has poke marks on his chest.
Congrats to Gantry. I now know Lips' pain. Losing on your b-day sucks, but at least I made it out to the bar.

Nice fuckin' mohawk, my dee nee brother! If I tried that, I would get fired as soon as I walked in the door at my work. Cocksuckers.
I think you need an RBI player tattoed on the side of your head if you're gonna sport the mohawk on a regular basis.
DEE NEE!!!!
A head tattoo looks like it would hurt. Have to pass on that one...
I have one. It hurt. Don't do it.

Bump because I am the Dee-Nee Champion! Why am I reading these posts at 6am instead of going to sleep?
