I haven't been posting in awhile but I couldn't help to notice the topics that we have to choose from now.
I remember the good days, about a year ago when every topic was related directly to the game of rbi.
I checked out the forums today and I wasn't sure which topic to make my reply on. It was a tough choice between;
Who'd Win in a fight, Which RBI'er is a homosexual, or Dave Hendersons Boner? What the hell is going on. I think we
have talked all we can talk about for RBI Baseball the game. I hope that is not the case though. Long Live RBI
Good points Piner... Not too much raw RBI discussion going on snice Nightwulf and I were playing with the ROM data. Most of the topics though are at least related to RBI, so we're not too bad yet....
But yeah, lets start talking about RBI again...
Hey GPines, not to break your balls, but when was the last time you started or responded to RBI debate? I try to start talks about different aspects of RBI and they get little attention.
"You are both the manager and the team as you define your strategy and refine
your skills in the most realistic baseball game available. Play against the
computer opponent in a nine-game season or challenge a friend for nine innings
and a best-of-seven series. You pick your team, line-up, pitchers, and control
all the pitches, throws, swings, steals, substitutions and fielding. Teams are
actual line-ups used in big-league ball. Each player has individual skills and
statistics that make him unique from every other player on the field. And
R.B.I. Baseball is authorized by the Major League Baseball Players Association.
Remember to play your best because the outcome of the game is printed on the
front of the daily sports page."
I am a staunch supporter of what GPines is saying here. I have been thinking about posting regarding the recockulous discussions as of late. However, I didn't want to disrupt the forum talk.
But now that someone else out there obviously shares my point of view, I must say that this board has been greatly tarnished over the past three months (especially after looking back at the good old topics). There has been so much trash posted on this forum that I rarely even visit anymore.
Pete Rose, HOF inductions, 2003 Cubs Season, Sammy Sosa, Hall of Shame, homosexuality, who'd win in a fight, and all-time face posts are complete bullshit. How 'bout keeping this forum dedicated to what it was intended to be... RBI. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Gantry has other forums for miscellaneous topics (where most of the recent crap that's been posted belongs).
Bring back the old forum,

i agree
Wow Smoked, I never knew you were such a connoisseur of proper message board talk. When was the last time you started any thread. Maybe you could stop bitching and start an intelligent thread yourself.
Hey now, no need to get testy. This community is too small to start infighting...
I think the proper thing was done, even before this thread started - move the general baseball talk to Anything Goes and keep RBI stuff here. I have no problems with threads like Dave Henderson's Boner because they pertain to the players in RBI and information for one of my pages - The Hall of Shame...
Goofy threads about RBI players are also fine by me, in small quantities. I think the problem was that it became too much at one time, with little-to-no discussion about the game itself...
Like vgp said, anyone is open to start a thread on RBI, and most of the regulars will comment on it...
Yeah.

I'm workin' on other projects; haven't had much time to devote to dissecting RBI recently. For that matter, what else is left to dissect?
Edit: OMG with this post I finally graduated from "Rafael Santana Level". /cheer! ;D
Nightwulf
Yeah, I haven't touched the ROM stuff since we were playing around last, hopefully will polish up some edges and make a "RBI Technical" page...
Bump...Looks like Dee-Nee'rs are good for about one major Rag Session a year...I guess it was just our time to bitch.
Dave Henderson has a boner?

Dave Henderson has a boner?
I guess so...I only wish I knew sooner. It's probably flacid by now. If not, he should contact a doctor.
I think the RBI banter has been fresh and quality, and definitely pertaining to the game of RBI, some examples:
- The poll on what baseball card should be officially selected for RBI
- Recent Discovery that Danny heep should be left handed in the game
- The rankings of best Latin RBI players
- Wally Backman's manager woes
- The RBI techno song which is pure brilliance
Hey Sucka Free, that post was LOL funny, are those the words from the original commercial??
F-R-E-S-H
The WB refers to new episodes of their show as "fresh" instead of "new". I never watch that station, but they advertise on the radio and on another local station, so I hear it all the time, and it bugs me.
