First of all, you'll address me as Lord Vader. Secondly, I don't know why I like tallying up the total records, but I do. So I'll continue to do so until the Galactic Senate speaks on this matter.
Should be a good series between the OC and Ulrachers. Tough to say, but I think the OC will pull it out in 7. Gooden does not fare that well against pure power hitters (high power-low contact) that well. I maybe see one close game in the whole series---meaning the team who wins will win big imo. Kind of what happened in the divisional playoffs---they were no nailbiters---thought both of the series' went 7 games. The winner of all the games did so in a comfortable manner. I see the same thing happening in this series. If the OC decide to go quiet with their big sticks, then they'll have no chance with their pitching and lack of contact/speed players.
The Hammocks might win one game---two if they have lady luck on their side. The Empire is just a better team.

Did that outfielder let a ball drop behind him for no reason? Wow.
HAMMOCKS.
Biggest underdog story in all of sports.
I can't believe we didn't score any runs in the top of the 9th off Stanly. We came out flat. Donnie Baseball was carrying us all day with his 3 jacks. And Righetti is still running poles after that despicable outing. That's not what we expect out of a San Jose product.
Hammocks caught us on a very bad day---and they played their best---and still barely won. No worries, the Empire aint sweating....lots of baseball left. We'll take the next game, then wrap up things at home since we don't lose there---10-1 at home this year.
And the OC! Wow!

Relax Gantry, we'll take the series. I just had a team meeting with the players, and I think they got the message I delivered. Those guys thought they were all that and forgot what got us here---Empire style ball. I reminded them that we won a lot of games in the last inning, so we were by no means dominant. Those guys thought they could just come out and win without working for it and we responded horribly to some adverse situations.
Nevertheless, there is no way the Hammocks will beat us. The Empire always finds a way---we are the Empire.
Less talk, more wins over the Stinky Sullivans

I'm rooting for the Hammocks, Gantry. Tip your cap to them, they took the mighty Poopydicks down in exciting fashion. World Series victory is their density imo.
Fuck Stinky Sullivan, and fuck you

Still a little sore about blowing that 3-1 lead, my heart will mend soon enough
Banana Hammocks stun Galactic Empire
Milwaukee (AP) - K.Herndz blasted a grand slam in the bottom of the 8th inning to give the heavy underdog Banana Hammocks a 14-13 lead. Stanly then pitched a scoreless 9th as the Hammocks pulled of a game 1 upset victory over the defending champion Galactic Empire in front of a wild crowd at Quinlan Park.
K.Herndz led the Hammock offense by belting 2 HR's and driving in 5 runners. His grand slam homer that gave the Hammocks the lead shocked the Empire as the juggernaut couldn't recover to stage any kind of rally in the ninth. Jerry Seinfeld was in attendance to cheer his hero on, and W. Herndz did not disappoint him with his huge night.
The Banana Hammocks, who led the league in double plays hit into, managed to not hit into any, while the Empire hit into two. The Empire hit into the least double plays all year.
"They played great and we did not play Empire style ball. Our bullpen did not locate the ball, and you just can't do that in this league. This game is behind us and our focus is on game 2. This is a seven game series, and we'll respond in Empire fashion. We have full confidence that the Force is with us and we'll find a way to make it to our third straight WS" said Darkside.
Galactic Empire 16-7
Banana Hammocks 14-16
Hammocks lead the series 1-0
OC Legions of Doom quickly dismantle Fighting Ulrachers in three innings
San Luis Obispo (AP) - On a beautiful Californian sunny day at Sinsheimer Field, many fans wasted their sunblock since they were not at the park very long. The OC Legions of Doom erupted for 11 runs in three innings and went on to mercy rule the Fighting Ulrachers 11-1 in three quick innings.
B.Sntago blasted a pair of shots and drove in 4 runners to lead the offense, while the OC out hit the Ulrachers 13-4 in a laugher. Arguably the league's best pitcher, D.Gooden, struggled in his outing as he was pounded for 11 runs in three innings. Witt appeared sharp in his outing as he only allowed 1 run off 4 hits in his quick three innings of work.
Fighting Ulrachers 16-14

Fixed. Have no idea what I was thinking there. Still very disappointed in my team for that kind of effort. Where is Turd? The Empire needs some wall material to work with. Turd, get in here and run your mouth---enjoy your day in the sun---before you meet your fatal destiny.
League officials are worried now, that we might not advance. The league wants to see an Empire-OC matchup imo....kinda like how the NFL wanted to see a Raiders-Cowboys matchup in the late 70's/early 80's.
I'm disappointed in your team's effort too, Lord Gay-durrrrrrrrrr....
I don't have a powerhouse of a team, but they are scrappy. While your team is out partying, mine is out on the diamond takin' practice swings. They have heart. Even if I don't win another game, to have humbled you even slightly is a victory in itself.
It's bad when the video of your game is less than 3 minutes and you can't make it all the way through
Man, Turd being far too humble and showing dignity there. Nevertheless, good game Turd. Your team plays well together.
Game two will begin 7:00 AM dee nee time, 1:59 PM Swedish time on my computer clock. Best of luck to everybody.

That was the first time I've watched YouTube, been missing out. Superspeed and the commentary makes it awesome - nice work Darky...
I like that Darky sounds a little bit like Napoleon Dynamite.
Nothing what I expected Darky to sound like, figured more of a soothing Darth Vader
But they are awesome and I should have been watching them instead of replaying the movies. Especially cause those take so long and I tend to stop watching in 5-10 minute bursts. One of the downside to having 3 monitors I guess...
You know you can superspeed the virtuanes movies, right? You just don't get the darknuggets commentary.

That was a good comeback Turd. Garner is just killing us---C.Davis as well. Looks like the series will be a good one. Now the series heads back to the Imperial Center. We were 10-1 there during the season. Basically, we fully expect to win all three games back at home. You may crown us now....

Yeah. Darky, how fast are you speeding them up? I do 2x when I download the games, but I've watched the last two on YouTube, and they seem faster.
I almost commented that you can't give up nine homers and expect to win, but I noticed in the final box score that we had ten homers - we just couldn't string together the other hits as well, and it seemed like we had a lot of solo shots. It also seemed like the Ulrachers were doing a great job of two-out hitting - every time I thought we might get out of an inning mostly unscathed, they'd manage to keep the inning going.
Quote from: BeefMaster on 06/22/10, 02:47:53 PM

I have the throttle on 210---perfect speed imo. Games are between 6-10 minutes at that speed. Rarely over 10 minutes. The average would be about 7 minutes...
i wish witt could have also started game two, since he threw so few pitches in game one. bad management, imo.
let's go, OC LEGIONS! find a way to get it done!!!
Fighting Ulrachers offense too much for the OC to keep up with
San Luis Obispo (AP) - The Fighting Ulrachers exploded on SP Alxndr for 15 runs in the first four innings and never looked back from there as they rebounded to take game 2 of the Gantry LCS.
Despite being out-homered 10-9 in the game, the Ulrachers homeruns all came with runners on base. The OC Legions of Doom hit 6 solo homeruns which was a significant difference in the game.
Leading the offense for the Ularchers was Laudnr. The catcher belted three shots and drove in 7 runners. Also having big day was D.Evans. The former hitting coach for Darky blasted a pair of shots and drove in 8 runners while Whitkr chipped in with a 5-6 performance with 2 HR's and 4 RBI.
B.Hurst went the distance and did enough to earn the win against a very explosive OC offense.
J.Rice and Dwning each hit 3 HR's to lead the OC.
The series will move to Chicago for games 3, 4, and 5.
Fighting Ulrachers 17-14
OC Legions of Doom 14-10
Series tied at 1
Empire hold on to take game 2
Milwaukee (AP) - After jumping out to a 9-1 lead in the top of the 4th inning, the Galactic Empire looked like they were on their way to an easy victory. However, the Banana Hammocks would not give up that easy.
The Hammocks responded for 6 runs in the bottom of the 4th inning to tighten up the game 9-7. Both long relief pitchers kept the offenses off-balance and did not allow too many runs. Sutclf only gave up one run while Tudor only allowed 3 runs. After 7 innings, the score stood 11-8 in favor of the Empire.
In the top of the 9th, J.Leonard (Leo) hit a two run shot to give the Empire a 14-9 lead. In last half of the 9th, the Banana Hammocks responded and mounted a threat. After knocking out RP Righti out of the game, closer D.Robnsn came in to try and earn the save.
The Hammocks scored off Rbnsn on a C.Davis double which left runners at second and third with two outs and the score 14-12 for the Empire. With the crowd on their feet and roaring, M.Schmidt stepped up to the plate with the tying run on second base. Rbnsn got Schmdt to chase a splitter on the first pitch and he popped out to end the game.
D.Strwby went 5-5 with 3 doubles and a HR to lead the Empire while M.Heath hit two doubles and a homerun with 4 hits total to help from the 7-hole.
C.Davis continues to torch the Empire (had a huge series with the Artichokes in the FRBI V LCS) as he went 5-6 with 2 doubles and a triple.
Darky offered his thoughts to the media after the game, "They are tough at home and we played a little better today overall---but we still haven't peaked yet. We got some good clutch hitting and our bullpen pitched much better. We look forward to going back home to continue this series and have every intention of ending the series back at the Imperial Center in front of our loyal fans. The Force will be with us".

The memory stick on my camera shit on me. So I had to load the OC-FU game on to my hard drive to free up some space. Between this happening and me trying to switch windows, I think two batters went by before I had things under control---stressful situation. No funny shit going on. The game just paused (since I took a TO to upload the OC-FU game) and continued when I was able to record again. The properties on the VMV file shows that the game was not manipulated. Plus, if you look at the hits and runs prior to that, it shows that the game was not manipulated in any way---if that is indeed your point.
I have no idea why my memory stick shit on me since I cleared everything else before the game was played----only had the OC-FU game on the memory stick.

Unbelievable how we pulled out yet another win in dramatic fashion at home. I put in a lot of work into scouting the players and assembling the best team I can. So you're damn straight we want to win. Who wants to fuckin lose? Not the Empire. It's going to be a tough series imo---you guys match up well.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy winning...moreso in head to head, but I do enjoy winning my FRBI games. That being said, I try to not take it too serious...it's all good though, it's a fun league because you guys have such passion for it. I just prefer to take a casual approach to it.
OC LEGIONS
Empire edges Hammocks in extra innings, home magic continues
Imperial Center (AP) - In what has surprisingly turned out to be a slugfest, the Empire overcame a 5th inning 10-2 deficit to win game 3 of the Dove RBI LCS when J.Leonard (Leo) hit a walkoff homerun in the bottom of the 10th inning with two outs.
Down 18-16 in the bottom of the 9th, D.Stwbry and G.Gaetti hit solo shots to tie up the contest and send it into extra innings. Rbnsn pitched a scoreless 10th, and with two outs, J.Leonard belted an inside fastball over everything to end the game as the record crowd at the Imperial Center erupted into a frenzy. The Empire's ability to win at home and in dramatic fashion once again has observers talking about the Empire as a team of destiny.
J.Leonard, D.Stwbry, and G.Gaetti each hit a pair of shots and B.Doran went 4-6 to lead the Empire offensively. D.Rbnsn only allowed 2 runs in his two innings of relief work and picked up the win.
The Empire is now 11-1 overall this year at home and won their 7th game in their final at-bat for the year.
The Banana Hammocks have come this far on scrappiness and heart, but the Empire showed a lot of heart tonight and their will to win has been a benchmark for their success. "People forget that the Empire is all about heart and fighting tooth and nail for the win. We are just not some machine that rolls over people. We preach sound baseball and to play to the last out", said Darkside to the swarming media.
Banana Hammocks 14-18
Galactic Empire 18-7

The boxscore for the other game will come later, as well as game 4.
OC Legions of Doom finish strong, take game 3
Chicago (AP) - The OC used superb pitching and their benchmark power to pull away from the Ulrachers down the stretch to win 15-8 and take a 2-1 series lead.
The story of the day was the pitching of the Legions of Doom. Witt only allowed 4 runs, while Alxndr and Mcdowl pitched brilliantly in relief. They combined to give up only 2 runs off 6 hits in 5 innings. They limited the Ulrachers to only 2 runs after the 4th inning.
Down 6-5 in the top of the 6th inning, the OC scored 3 runs to take a 8-6 lead and added 7 more runs in the next two innings to go up 15-8 and that's how the score stayed in the 9th.
GDavis smacked a pair of shots and had 4 RBI to lead the OC charge. The OC out-homered the Ulrachers 7-3 and once again showed how fast they can put up runs on the scoreboard with their unmatched power across the board.

Close game there that had me worried. But the Straw and Donnie Baseball showed the leadership that is expected out of them. Sutclf pitched well in long relief, and D.Rbnsn rarely blows a lead---best arm from the bullpen in the FRBI league imo. Also having two putouts at home was HUGE!
Crazy, we are 12-1 at home this year. MYSTIQUE'D!!!!! One game to go to make our 3rd straight trip to the WS and the Force will be with us for game 5 so we can clinch at home---then it looks like we'll be dismantling the OC since they now have a 3-1 series lead now over the Ulrachers. I don't see the Ulrachers winning 3 straight to overcome---as well as the Hammocks. Galactic Empire-OC Legions of Doom clash coming. SUPERPOWERS ENGAGE!!!
Also, the pregame Temple of the Dog "Hunger Strike" song is magic for the Empire. We used that when we were down three games to two in last season's WS---and we used it after our opening loss to the Hammocks---so 5-0 lifetime with that pregame tune. So when you hear that before a game---it's trouble. No need to use more of its magic---will save it for the WS. I'm sure we can win one more game against the Hammocks without the Temple of the Dog...

Sutclf, Mtngly, and Strwby lead the way for the Empire
Imperial Center (AP) - The Galactic Empire is one game away from their 3rd straight trip to the FRBI WS with their 12-10 victory over the Banana Hammocks.
The Banana Hammocks led 6-5 after 4 innings, but from there it was all Empire ball. R.Sutclf only allowed 1 run in long relief and the Empire took a 12-7 lead into the 9th inning and held on as D.Rbnsn ended a Hammock 9th inning rally.
D.Mtngly and D.Strwby each hit a pair of shots and drove in 8 of the 12 runs to lead the way on offense. Defensively, Shrdn threw out two runners at home plate to kill the momentum that the Hammocks generated. The Empire bullpen allowed 3 runs in two innings as they did their job and in not blowing a lead by giving up a fury of runs to a dangerous Hammock lineup.
The Empire is now 12-1 overall at home this year at the Imperial Center. The mystique continues to grow and visiting teams have more than just the Empire to deal with---the Force in the Imperial Center felt by the opposition has been something nobody has been able to figure out this year. The Empire will look to clinch the Dove RBI LCS for a third straight season at home in game 5. "The Force is with us, and we feel nobody can beat us at home, and we play like it", said owner Darkside.

GDavis blasts two grand slams and his 11 RBI's leads the way for the OC Legions of Doom
Chicago (AP) - In a historical night at Soldier Field, GDavis set a new LCS record by hitting two grand slams in one game as well as registering 11 RBI. The OC Legions of Doom mercy ruled the Ulrachers 22-12 in 6 innings to capture game 4 and take a commanding 3-1 series lead.
The OC jumped out to a 10-3 lead after 3 and half innings, but the Ulrachers narrowed the gap 10-8 when they rallied for 5 runs in the bottom of the 3rd. However, the OC put their foot on the throttle and went on to oustscore the Ulrachers 12-4 in the next three innings as they finally put them away in the sixth inning.
GDavis went 4-6 with two grand slams, a double and 11 RBI in a career night while McGwir also blasted a pair of shots and had 4 RBI. The OC offense was simply too much for the Ulrachers too keep up with. The struggling Ulrachers appear to be outmatched this series and will need better pitching if they wish to pull of the improbable comeback.
America's team is one game away from their combined 5th WS appearance. The Legions of Doom have made two appearances and the OC won back-to-back titles in seasons II-III. A dream match up for the media would be an Empire-OC clash in the WS.

Ulrachers 6-run rally in the ninth wins it
Chicago (AP) - Down 17-12 in the bottom of the 9th and facing elimination, Rynlds hit a lead off pinch hit home run to fuel a ninth inning comeback rally victory for the Fighting Ulrachers.
After the pinch hit home run, Grelts singled and Guerro homered to make it 17-15. W.Clark then grounded out to record the first out, Whittkr then singled which was followed up by a Laudnr double putting runners on second and third with Hendrk coming up. With the capacity crowd at Soldier Field on their feet and roaring at the top of their lungs, Hendrk delivered the game winning hit when he lined a single into the gap. The Ulrachers stormed home plate to celebrate while there was mayhem going on in the stands.
The series will now move over to Sioux Falls Stadium for game 6.
OC Legions of Doom 16-11

Tudor and Hammocks dominate Empire
Imperial Center (AP) - J.Tudor went the distance and only allowed 8 runs while the Hammocks got plenty of offense as they dominated the Empire with a 16-8 victory.
A.Dawson had a huge night to lead the Hammocks. The superstar blasted three mammoth shots and drove in 7 runners. D.Hndrsn also had a big night with a 5-5 performance and 2 HR's while inspirational leader Stinky Sullivan went 4-5 from the 8-hole. The Banana Hammocks outhit the Empire 26-15 and the Empire could simply not figure out Tudor.
The Hammocks came back from a 3-1 series deficit to beat the Poopydicks in the divisional playoffs and they are now looking to pull off some more magic to dethrone the defending champions.
The loss was the Empire's second of the year at home, and now the series will move back to Quinlan Park in Milwaukee for game 6.

Huge comeback for the Urlachers
I made it a point not to look at the length of the movie while I was watching, and I honestly thought we were going to win by slaughter after seeing the first two innings. Hell of a comeback there, and nice job by your bullpen again shutting down our offense.

There is just no way for me to ignore it, it's the first thing I notice when it starts. Only bad part about watching on youtube imo.
Put a piece of tape/paper over where the time/bottom bar is going to be.
we had the right guys up in the bottom of the ninth and we just didn't get it done.
Yeah - I felt pretty good going into the ninth down two with the pitcher leading off, but the big bats just couldn't deliver in the clutch.
That was crazy you guys didn't score anything in the 9th. You guys have been getting off to good starts, then you simmer down the stretch. Should be an interesting game 7.
Tudor has just been killing us with his arm and stick. I don't get how he's just dominated my lineup. We haven't had any big innings all series, and the Hammocks just kill us with their big innings. We need to have the lead when Clemens comes in and make sure Tudor does not go the distance again. Tomorrow the Empire will find a way. It's going to be a battle---I see it coming down to the wire. I was pondering about benching some guys, but I backed off. Our pitchers need to get hits as well. That has been a huge difference in the last two games---the Hammock pitchers have outhit our pitchers---and those kinds of things keep rallies going. And Leonard needs to stop hitting into double plays. The Hammocks lack of speed has not been a factor this series. Not too many guys thrown out on the bases and we've actually hit into more double plays than them.
In any case, there will be a small lineup change. Doran and Sheridan will flip-flop as well as Gaetti and Donnie Baseball---and Buckner and Gladden will flip-flop for the sub hitting order. So here it is:
Leo
Shrdn
Straw
Gaetti
Donnie Baseball
Madlck
Heath
Doran
Bucknr
Gladdn
Rndlph
Lake
Sheridan and Nice Gaetti will come up huge, changes approved
Banana Hammocks stun Empire, underdogs force game 7
Milwaukee (AP) - The suddenly confident Banana Hammocks used a 9-run 5th inning to propel them to a 17-10 victory and forcing a perhaps epic game 7.
C.Davis, M.Schmidt, and A.Dawson were very productive as the trio combined to go 13-18 from the 2-3-4 hole while Garner went 3-6 and D.Hndrsn went 3-6 to help with the punch on offense.
F.Vlnzla was cruising until he was forced out, then Sutclf relieved him in the 5th inning only to be torched for 11 runs in 3 innings. Tudor on the other hand continues his post season mastery over the Empire as he only allowed 5 earned runs in 5 innings pitched and picked up the win for the second consecutive game. The pitcher also went 2-3 with a double and 3 RBI.
The heavy underdog and first year Banana Hammocks, who nobody gave a chance to come this far, have battled back once again from a 3-1 series deficit and have played like they are the 2-time Dove RBI champions. They have shown no fear against the mighty Empire. "We don't fear them and we feel like we have a great chance to win game 7" said an arrogant but confident M.Schmidt while A.Dawson said "they can't pitch to me". Manager Turd refused to address the media.
Owner Darkside reflected, "They match up well against us and they have raised their game to another level. However, we feel really confident about game 7 and are excited to play in such a game. We feel we are at our best when everything is on the line. We are the Empire, and the Empire finds ways to get it done. The Force will be with us".
Game 7 will follow the Ulrachers-OC game which will begin at 3:30 pm Dee Nee time.
Galactic Empire 19-9
Banana Hammocks 16-19
Series tied at 3
Ulrachers comeback from 10-3 deficit, bullpen pitches lights out
Sioux Falls (AP) - The Fighting Ulrachers overcame a 3rd inning 10-3 deficit and took control of the game after a 7-run sixth inning as Gooden and the bullpen silenced the explosive bats of the OC down the stretch to win it 17-15 and setting up a huge game 7 to determine the Gantry League champions.
The exciting ball game came down to the bottom of the 9th inning. Grelts came in the 9th to preserve the victory. Grelts got Worrel to pop up and the dangerous top of the lineup of the OC Legions of Doom was coming up. The crowd at Sioux Falls Stadium, sensing some 9th inning magic, were on their feet clapping and cheering their team on. Brookn then came up and smacked a double. Grelts then got J.Rice to chase a splitter for an out and M.McGwir stepped up to the plate with two outs and the game on the line. McGwir lined out to end the game and Grelts picked up the save in a nailbiting situation.
The Ulrachers have now battled back from a 3-1 series deficit and will have perhaps the game's best pitcher take the bump when Doc Gooden starts tonight. However, he'll need to bring his good stuff to keep the explosive OC Legions of Doom quiet.
The game will begin at 3:30 PM Dee Nee time.
Fighting Ulrachers 19-16
OC Legions of Doom 16-12
Series tied at 3
Stinky Sullivan went 3-5 in the last game. HATE!
We had a good pitchers meeting with our advanced scouts...the sheet has been refined and we feel good about how we are going to attack the Hammock hitters.
Also had a players meeting with the hitters. No physical changes were made, just some pointers were made about the mental game and playing heads up Empire ball. We feel real good about this game and we are very excited to crush this year's version of the Cinderella story.
An important note here, if the world cup goes into OT---the gametime will be announced after the WC game. As if now, the new starting time is 3:45 dee nee time.
Game 7 in the books...youtube'd games to come asap...
Wow. Just, wow.

Dammit. YouTube on my phone isn't working rig now.
Congrats Turd. Scoring 10 runs the last three games won't cut it in this league. The Empire is still in shock. I can't believe this... >:(
I won? Pretty shocked. All those after hours batting practices paid off! It's been an emotional post season for the Hammocks. Sorry nuggets, I know how much this meant to you.
great game vs. ulrachers. lead exchanges, bullpens battling. i say ultimate7 is the most feared owner/manager in the league.
Damn that was a good game, GDavis killed Hurst all series. Bruce simply refused to pitch him away.
Stinky Sullivan delivered a deathly blow.
Get em next year darkie.
Sullivan is the Miles Simon of this tournament, someone is taking him in round 3

The "Oh no!" from Darky when Sullivan hit his homer was awesome.
For whatever reason, Dickie Thon scared the hell out of me for the Urlachers, constantly coming up with clutch hits, and I have a feeling that I will feel the same way about Stinky Sullivan in the World Series.
Hammocks are America's Team imo
Darky's commentary is the best... "hit you spots, like we talked about!"

*** UPDATE: Orange County Legions of Doom ***
FT. KEARNEY, NEBRASKA -- RBI News was given exclusive access before game 1 of the Fantasy RBI World Series, In this rare, first-ever look into the clubhouse of arguably the most successful franchise in Fantasy RBI history. As it turns out, nothing could prepare this reporter for what he would hear, see, and smell(?).
OC Legions Manager IP Freeley: Guys, we've had a great season despite all the ups and downs. We need to really try our hardest to take on this so-called "America's Team" that has captured the hearts of fans around this country. To that end, I've brought someone in to help us out.
Mike Witt: (raises hand) is it a quality closer?

Manager: No guys, this person I'm bringing in is more of a--
REX RYAN: (bursts throught the door) HOW THE FUCK ARE YA!??!

FUCKIN kill those underwears, just like you used to fingerbang Ol' Mary Jane Rotten Crotch through her purdy pink panties! (looks at Doyle Alexander real sly-like). YOU know what I'm talking about.

There are not enough :POW: s in the internets for TBG's post.
WIN.
Boxscores from game 7 will come at some point today. Game 1 of the FRBI VI WS will start tomorrow. I've had the kids the last couple of days, so I don't have the time right now.
I'm assuming the pitching order will be the same for both teams.
Team OC Legions of Doom, do you guys want home or away advantage?
The OC Legions have chosen home-field advantage for the World Series.
Pretty good stuff there, TBG. Well done.
Quote from: Turd on 06/29/10, 06:31:54 PM
Sorry nuggets, I know how much this meant to you.
We wanted to win, but it's all cool and the gang. If I really wanted to win, I would have found some way to cheat lol. We didn't deserve to win, those fucks thought they were too good and got what they deserved. Weird though, how you guys won 3 straight against the mighty Empire. That was the first time we ever lost three in a row. Those damn big innings of yours just killed us.
And that was some superb stuff there TBG!!! Great job for the entertainment and hype for the FRBI WS! Also, boxscores will come tomorrow...I need a timeout here.
Recaps will come today...for sure.
Game 1 of the FRBI VI WS has been pushed back to Monday. Too much going on today.
League is dead, IMO.

Liar like most Mexicans imo
Recaps have to come today. The WS will start tomorrow and will run everyday until Wednesday if it goes that far. I leave for Italy next Thursday, so now there is no choice since I'll be gone for 3 weeks. So I'll get on it after the world cup game. The players needed a rest for the WS. And so did I after scoring over 120 games the past 3 months.
Banana Hammocks shock the FRBI world
Milwaukee (AP) - Up 8-3 in the bottom of the sixth, the Galactic Empire looked like they were cruising to their third straight FRBI WS appearance. However, an 8-run rally by the Hammocks changed the course of history as they grabbed momentum and put the game away in the bottom of the 8th inning with a 4-run two out rally and held on to win 15-10.
Turd's first year in the circuit has resulted in a WS birth! The Hammocks got into the playoffs on the last week of the season when everything went their way, and they went through two juggernauts while being down 3-1 in the series in both the divisional and LCS playoffs. Nobody gave them a chance to the heavily favored Galactic Empire. The Galactic Empire has had the best record in the league over the last two seasons, were the two-time defending Dove RBI League Champions, and are the defending champions. But the Hammocks didn't care and never gave up when they were down to the mighty Empire.
Perhaps the turning point in the series is when they beat the Empire at home in game 5 which was the Empire's second only defeat at home, but the loss devastated the Empire.
So with the score 11-10 in the bottom of the eight inning, the Hammocks scored 4 runs with two outs. From there, Dayley pitched a perfect 9th to put away the Empire and the capacity crowd at Quinlan Park went bonkers and rushed the field.
"The Force wasn't with us and we just did not play Empire ball", said a disappointed Darkside.
J.Tudor was named the MVP for the Dove RBI LCS. Tudor shut down the Empire all series and was the difference.
Galactic Empire 19-10
Banana Hammocks 17-19
Hammocks win the series 4-3
J.Rice delivers GWH in the 9th, OC Legions of Doom to make their third WS appearance
Sioux Falls (AP) - In a tight back and forth game 7 of the Gantry LCS, J.Rice singled to RF to score Grelts for the winning run as the OC won it 15-14 in dramatic fashion.
Down 14-11 in the top of the 9th, the Fighting Ulrachers showed just why they climbed out of a 3-1 series deficit. Guerro hit a two-run shot to put the Ulrachers within one run, and the next batter, W.Clark, hit a solo shot to tie up the dramatic contest. The next batter, D.Evans, doubled which was followed up by a Mldndo single to put runners at the corners with 1 out. Then something strange happened. Whtkr hit a deep fly ball to RF, and it looked like a sure sacrifice fly. However, D.Evans inexplicably did not tag up to score. The crowd let out a huge sigh of relief then held their breath when slugger Laudnr stepped up with two outs. Worrel got him to line out to end the inning.
With the score tied up at 14 in the bottom of the 9th inning, Worrel led off with an infield single. Brookn then laced a double down the LF line and just like that with no outs, there were runners on second and third with the dangerous J.Rice coming up.
The crowd at Sioux Falls Stadium was on their feet and chanting for their hero to come through. J.Rice did just that as he hit a walk off single to RF and the players from the OC bench rushed home plate to mob Grelts.
Owners BeefMaster and TBG will be making their combined 5 WS appearance. BeefMaster reached two WS finals with the Legions of Doom, and lost both of them---one of them to the OC. TBG is making his 3rd appearance and won back-to-back titles in seasons II-III.
So it will be America's team going up against the cinderella Banana Hammocks. The OC Legions of Doom swept the two games against the Hammocks this season and will be heavy favorites. This will mark the first time ever that a team will enter the WS with a losing record. The Banana Hammocks are 17-19 overall.
J.Rice was named the Gantry LCS MVP for his incredible production during the 7 games and of course for hitting the game winning hit.
Fighting Ulrachers 19-17
OC Legions of Doom 17-12
OC Legions of Doom win the series 4-3
