We are about 8 months late on our RBI tourney for 2009, so we are doing it today. Gonna be a five man tourney as we have no time for a qualifier. The entrants:
1) Gantry
2) Lips
3) Potsie
4) Sperling
5) Rack
Should be very interesting, but can't figure out a good format. May have to do a one-game round robing or something - any ideas?
Pool play (each player plays everyone else, either once or twice). Top two records in pool play for the championship
Alright, the festivities have begun. The abbreviated 3-man qualifier is between Mark, Potsie, and Jason. They will play each other two times. The two best records move onto the real tourney. If everyone is tied at (2-2), then the player with the biggest run differential will move on, while the other two play off in a 1 player tourney with team choice going to the winner of the one-on-one series. Second tie-breaker is HRs/inning.
Mark (Det) and Pots (Bos) are up...
Holy shit, the qualifier is going to be at a huge inebriation disadvantage.
That second tie-breaker is for the automatic qualifier, if three teams tie at (2-2) and tie at run differential.
To determine the choice of team (if needed), run differential is determined by the one-on-one series run differential and then HRs.
Yeah, we are being nice...because we have been so bad in getting the 2009 tourney going.
So the qualifier tourney doesn't have drinking rules, but all three currently have a beer near.
2 SP tourney? This tourney sounds exciting, I'll be following it.
Early lines to win this Dee-Nee tourney...
Gantry -170
Potsie - 150
Lips - 110
Rack +125
Sperling +135
Potsie is already 2/3 beers and 2/3 shots in...
2 or 3 (not 2/3rds)

the house is sure taking a lot of juice
I'm winning this shit, Pots showed up half drunk and has the qualifier - he'll be 10-12 drinks in before the drinking rules start. If he qualifiers, he's in for a world of hurt.
Lips sucks, Rack sucks and Sperling is my boy but he can't beat me. Therefore, I win

The lines will change as the drinking progresses...
Mark (dt) 13, 7 hr
Pots (bo) 8, 8 hr

I refuse to believe this.
Alright, late reply here as we had to move cars because of the snow and fear of getting towed.
Mark comes from behind to score 9 in the 7th and 8th to win 19-18.
Mark (dt) 19, 12 hr
Jason (bo) 18, 13 hr
Mark (2-0), +6 rd, 19 hr
Jason (0-1), -1 rd, 13 hr
Pots (0-1), -5 rd, 8 hr
Potsie climbed to an early lead off Rack thanks to 2 hits and 2 runs with LARRY HERNDON in his first two ABs. May be the first time in tourney history Herndon got a hit in an official game. 3rd AB with Herndon up, runner on first and Pots puts in Sheridan. Lips starts yelling at him that it was a mistake. Sheridan fouls out (double play) and Lips hasn't let him heard the end of it. Since that sub Potsie lost all momentum and Rack has the lead...
Pots mounted a comeback in the 9th but it was too late:
Jason (Bo) - 15, 11 HRs
Pots (Dt) - 13, 9 HRs
Standings
Mark (2-0), +6 rd, 19 hr
Jason (1-1), +1 rd, 24 hr
Pots (0-2), -7 rd, 17 hr
Official Tourney song...

Dt (Pots) 18, 16 hr
Ca (Mark) 13, 8 hr
Mark (2-1), +1 rd, 27 hr
Jason (1-1), +1 rd, 24 hr
Pots (1-2), -2 rd, 33 hr
No matter what happens in this game between Mark & Jason, Potsie (with Bo/Ca) will need to beat Jason in the final game of the round-robin.
I am gay
This qualifier is taking FOREVER, I really want to play and drink a beer. Bad planning imo
Seriously, I'm so gay
We get it dude...
No you don't understand, I'm the gayest person ever. So gay, I watch nothing but Bravo TV
WOW!
Millionaire Matchmaker is my favorite! That and dicks - veiny, throbbing dicks...
Great run of posts there

Relax guy...
Mark (Ca) 12, 7 hr
Jason (Dt) 11, 10 hr
Mark (3-1), +2 rd, 34 hr
Jason (1-2), 0 rd, 34 hr
Pots (1-2), -2 rd, 33 hr
Mark is in!! Pots/Jason winner decides who takes the 4th spot in the 2009 Dee-Nee RBI Championship.
Breaking update - still gay
WE DONT FUCKING CARE GUY!
This Potsie/Rack game is off da chain yo - Rack gave up his 3rd BOP of the game to Burly Sac and he destroyed a box sitting next to him. Resulted in 4+ runs, now 21-16 Pots after 6
I'm thinking of getting a sex change
You know what? Take that shit to another thread...
Rack with 4 runs in the top of the 7th off a Potsie fielding mistake, now 21-20 Pots. Game of the night...
This thread is good, Lips' incredible gayness in particular.
Pots with 2 outs and two on with no subs left - calls a timeout and brings in Cancel for the pitcher. Base hit, then fouls out... Still 21-20, nuts game
Lips seems to be even gayer than normal
I'm pleased to find how proud Lips is of his gayness. He's like a gay parade all by himself.
I've always liked you but was too embarassed to say so BDawk. Could we maybe chat sometime?

you got it buddy
Rack with a huge 8th and is up 28-25 going into the 9th
Finally the RBI Tourney - 2009 Style...
Series 1:
Lips vs Gantry aka Rust vs Rust
Sperling vs Rack
Series 2:
Rack vs Lips
Sperling vs Gantry
Series 3:
Gantry vs Rack
Sperling vs Lips
Game 1 up right now...
Lips (Detroit) vs Gantry (California)
3 to 3 in the 4th. Fkn slugfest of epic proportions.
I don't think we updated the Rack vs. Potsie results.
Rack defeats Potsie 31-27. Lots of records broken and tied.
UPDATE: Gantry (12) vs. Lips (4) top of 7th.
Lips sucks at RBI...
...and is gay.
Dah-Nah... A very rusty first game back.
Gantry (ca) 12, 10 hr
Lips (dt) 6, 5 hr
Gantry (1-0), 12 total runs, 10 hr
Mark (0-0)
Jason (0-0)
Lips (0-1), 6 total runs, 5 hr
Sperling, Detroit, 10 runs, 5HRs
Rack, Boston, 11 runs, 11HRs
Damn... That was a crazy game. Gantry picked Boston to switch it up, since I was very assy in the first game with my lefties. I went with Detroit again. Gantry was up 5 for most of the first few innings, and then it was pretty much a 1-2 run game. I think I was up 1 in the bottom of the 8th when Hurst came in and the Detroit lefties were able to hit him. Fuck recaps.
Lips (dt) 24, 18 hr
Gantry (bo) 21, 14 hr
Jason (1-0), 11 runs, 11 homers
Gantry (1-1), 33 runs, 24 homers
Lips (1-1), 30 runs, 23 homers
Mark (0-1), 10 runs, 5 homers
fine, but...are you gay?
plenty gay

Mark (0-1), 10 runs, 5 homers
You mean righties, you Kansas City Faggot...
Might have been the first time I ever played with Boston in the tourney, and likely the first time someone got to be Detroit twice. Started strong, but petered out in the end. Dwight Evans was 0-6, that piece of garbage.
Rack, Detroit, 17 runs, 15HRs
Sperling, California, 18 runs, 10HRs
I'm glad that I'm done playing Rack. All four games played today were decided by one run.
Gantry, (1-1), 33 runs, 24 homers
Lips, (1-1), 30 runs, 23 homers
Rack, (1-1), 28 runs, 26 homers
Sperling, (1-1), 28 runs, 15 homers
I personally think that Gantry is going to win this. He's the best player and the best athlete. And the smartest. And has the best style. And gets laid the most. And I've always looked up to him. Quite frankly, he's my hero.
Appreciate it buddy!
Lips comes up big late:
Lips (Bo) 21, 18 HRs
Jason (Dt) 20, 13 HRs
Updated:
Lips, (2-1), 51 runs, 41 homers
Gantry, (1-1), 33 runs, 24 homers
Sperling, (1-1), 28 runs, 15 homers
Rack, (1-2), 48 runs, 39 homers
Actually I love Sperling. He's the best.
Sperling, Detroit, 18 Runs, 14 HRs
Gantry, California, 19 Runs, 12 HRs
Gantry, (2-1), 52 runs, 36 homers
Lips, (2-1), 51 runs, 41 homers
Rack, (1-2), 48 runs, 39 homers
Sperling, (1-2), 46 runs, 29 homers
I found some groove there. But this ain't over. A long way from it...
Lips (dt) 19, 13 hr
Rack (bo) 9, 5 hr
Lips, (3-1), 70 runs, 54 homers
Gantry, (2-1), 52 runs, 36 homers
Sperling, (1-2), 46 runs, 29 homers
Rack, (1-3), 57 runs, 44 homers
That last game ended in the 7th...
Gantry, Detroit, 14 Runs, 11 HRs
Sperling, California, 17 Runs, 9 HRs
Lips, (3-1), 70 runs, 54 homers
Gantry, (2-2), 66 runs, 47 homers
Sperling, (2-2), 63 runs, 38 homers
Rack, (1-3), 57 runs, 44 homers
Gantry and Rack up. Rack has been sleeping and it's not looking very good for him. I hope he isn't throwing in the towel. It is nearly 2am.
Just slaughtered Rack, who napped and clearly doesn't give a shit anymore:
Gantry (Dt) - 11, 7 HRs
Rack (Ca) - 1, 1 HR
Three innings I think...
Lips, (3-1), 70 runs, 54 homers
Gantry, (3-2), 77 runs, 54 homers
Sperling, (2-2), 63 runs, 38 homers
Rack, (1-4), 58 runs, 45 homers
Lips, (4-1), 88 runs, 68 homers
Gantry, (3-2), 77 runs, 54 homers
Sperling, (2-3), 71 runs, 45 homers
Rack, (1-4), 58 runs, 45 homers
Just slaughter Mark
dicks are key...
dah-nah...
the first two games were pretty solid (tied). The last game was pretty assy. I gave up too many run in the 7th (7)
Gantry won it this year, after facing off against me for teh 3rd straight year. Potsie, Mark, and Jason could suck a dick...
yeah, I said it....
i'm never drinking again...
