Blyleven- Burt "Be Home" Blyleven
Holy shit!!
Hahaha.
There are no words to describe just how clever this is.
:POW:
I can only think of a couple that you forgot
Minnesota
Puckett - Fuck It (same as dee nee)
Gagne - Gag Me (same as dee nee)
Berenguer - Bring It
St. Louis
McGee - C'mon Willy
Ford - Henry
Houston
Reynolds - Harold
New York
McDowell - Black Jack
We came up with Paqueer for Pedrique because when we played as little kids we didn't know how to pronounce his name and his stats sucked ass haha
haha
ahh yes...CMON WILLY...of major league fame, nicknames tend to change with regards to how the game is going or somethin else clever comes up
Rich Gedman, Destroyer of Dreams.
Somehow I doubt that is nearly as relevant with other people.
This is so good.
Lately I've been calling Doug Corbett either John Corbett or "Northern Exposure" kinda like how the Dee Nee guys give Glenn Davis the "Geena Davis" tag.
We also call Lenny "Dykes On Bikes" Stra. Usually when he is dubbed this, that bastard gets a hit.
Potsie's name for Bruce Hurst is my favorite though...Bruce Hurst, "The Worst." Same with Tim "Timmy Two-Step" Teufel.
At the moment, I'm thinking of others. Hmm...
Rob Wilfong - The Bong
Charlie Kerfeld - Charlie Chaps
Nolan Ryan - The Gunslinger
Kevin Bass - Suck Ass
Lee Mazzilli - Hot Heep Of Chili (called it after hitting a pinch grand slam off of Bert Blyleven)
Tony Armas - Gone
Alan Trammel - Token Tiger
Spike Owen - Blowin'
Marty Barret - Maaaahhhhhty Baaaahhhretttt (basically just a really bad Vin Scully impression)
Gary Gaetti - The Rat, Rat Goes Deep, The Best
Tom Brookens - Mr. Clutch (believe it or not, he burns Boston EVERY time)
I believe it, Tom Brookens is the goods...
Tom Brookens may not have been the best 3rd baseman in the bigs, but in RBI Baseball Land, he's one of the clutchest batters I've used/opposed against. He's on when I use him and he's the biggest pain in the ass when I face him.
Brookens is the RBI version of John Olerud...completely has Boston's number EVERY time.
Also after playing Boston against St. Louis...Jack "Big Ol' Tart" Clark completely OWNED Clemens tonight.
3-4 with 2 Grand Slams...
Clark so far is one of the only players I've seen that Clemens can't crush.
This brings up another new subject...do you think certain players hit better against certain pitchers?
all i know is rob "gary" wilfong is one of the best sub players off the bench...easily better than Pettis which is why i havent let pettis bat in ages....i'd need a delorean to get back to the last time i let pettis play
dear iowabob.
Change your avatar. That one is gantry's old one, and it confuses me when you post now.
Signed
Cunt.
Yes, change your fuckin aviator iowabob...
Gantry offered to do it for him, he even posted a pic, it's not Iowabob's fault.
who cares...i use cali alot...dont know why its a big deal....i guess the cali one is off limits to everyone?
Nah, go ahead and use Cali - I don't have any rights on it. Besides, it's a littler larger than the one I use
thanx...all rbi lovers should discuss in peace
Lee "Hot Heep Of Chili" Mazzilli will go deep tonight. There's something in the air.
