The person with the 8th pick will also get the 9th pick and the person with the 16th pick will also get the 17th pick, and so on.
Pitchers are not really important in Straight pitch, but we will draft them in the separately in rounds 13-16.
There are no rules for drafting players (ie, you do not have to have a player from each position) No rules for pitchers either.
At the end of the draft, one day will be given for any trades (unless everyone notifies me they are perfectly happy with their selections.) Any player has the right to strike a trade (in the event that it is truly unfair... I will have the final say).
Once everyone is happy with their selections, they can send me their lineups (1-12).
Once the draft starts, I do not want to be too harsh on the time limit b/w drafts. I have meetings this week so will be in and out. Let's just try to move this along as soon as possible.
I think the draft order should be determined randomly, nobody should get an unfair advantage to start out with...
Also, even though it is a straight pitch league, I think pitchers are up for grabs. If someone wants a Nolan Ryan or Senor Smoke early, that should be their choice....
I agree, random order has my vote.
I like the random draft order. I have a few questions, though.
Do pitchers have to pitch from the center of the mound, only pushing A (no speed/slow pitches)?
Are we allowed to draft All-Stars, at all...or is there a limit to All-Star players per team? All-Star pitchers included?

Random order it is. I used a random number generator in Excel to determine the order... you all will have to take my word for it. Here is the order:
1. Nails, 2. Lips, 3. Ryno23, 4. Stockw19, 5. JoeDirt, 6. Gantry, 7. Baines, 8. Noah
My intent was to play straight pitch (by only pressing "A"). I will start a poll though.
All-Stars are up for grabs. There is no limit as everone has equal oportunity to select them. And sure. If you really want to pick a pitcher over a batter, then so be it. We will have 16 rounds (you can pick any player-4 pitchers, 12 batters).
Lets start the draft as soon as we figure out how the pitching will work. I may close early if there appears to be a clear cut preference.
I suggest you run the draft as:
12345678
87654321
rotating rounds

Exactly. The person w/ the #8 will also get the #9. The person w/ #16 will also get #17 and so on. This is the fairest way to do it w/o a seeding system.
I will also need from each of you:
1. The 2 Letter Abreviation for your team (which will appear on the "select team" page)
2. Team colors (Unifor/Bat). If it is easier, you can tell me you want your team to be the same colors as an already exhisting team.
These will be taken on a first come basis.
My colors are green/gold (packer colors).
My 2 letter team name is BS (for Bill Stock; not Bullshit)
1. Na
2. Mets colors (gray/blue)

Side note: does anybody have an excel, msaccess, or csv file that contains RBI player ratings (power, contact, speed, pitching) ?
I have this from the Fantasy RBI Draft...
You're the man. Thanks.
Hg for "The Hoggs"
White or grey uni, maroon or red sleeves.
PS for Parish State.
Was going to go with Mets colors but American will work.
I'll get you my team name and colors tonight...
I had a thought, but one of my "would be" colors is missing from nightwulf's color matrix. So I'll have to go another direction.
I'll take JD as in JoeDirt.
Colors to be Black Stirrups and bat and Yankee blue unis...
So Noah, you want your team to have an enormous wang? Because, that's what I hear about black people..
Well, that and that they love to dance. And Reggie White said that, so he has to know what he's talking about.

Don't forget to give them that extra muscle in the leg. . . . . . a gold tooth. . . . . .and a cool starter jacket.
I'm gonna go with:
Tc (for Thundercats)
Uniform color: 22 (3rd one from left, 3rd one from top)
Helmet/Bat color: 10 (1st one from left, 2nd one from top)
I closed the poll on the other thread. Knucklers have it. 4 were for knuckles and a couple of others said they didn't care. I guess this will even the playing fiield, since nobody would have chance against me with no "fasts" or "knuckles" ;D .
I see no more reason to delay the draft since we all know the rules. I am only waiting for a couple more team names/colors.
So Nails; you are up whenever you are ready.
I do not want to set up a mandatory time limit at this time. However, if it takes too long, we can come up with one together.
Here is the first round order:
1. Nails
2. Lips
3. Ryno23
4. Stockw19
5. JoeDirt
6. Gantry
7. Baines
8. Noah
Andre Dawson
Nice Pick! Definitely has the most power, and is somewhat fast too! I was going to bat him leadoff if by some miracle he was still around for #4 :'(
Lips, your up.
ah fuck. my draft is over now that dawson is gone.
So we're drafting by position, correct? Are we just requiring 3 OFs? And can bench players be in the starting line up?
With the 2nd pick overall...The Thundercats will select Potatoes, Reggie Jackson.

There are no rules at all on drafting except you must have 12 batters and 4 Pitchers. (ie you can draft 12 outfielders if you want).
When the draft is done, each team can send me their starting lineup and pitching rotation.

I think we should do positions. It makes for some strategy.
My goal was for everyone to get the best possible hitting team. For example, when I play normal RBI and sub Santiago with Murph for the rest of the game, he is not playing the right position anyway. There is no defensive advantage of playing someone in their proper position.
Ultimately, I think the real strategy will be when to pass up a good hitter in the draft for a good pitcher.
this should be a poll
I think this is my time to take a stance as commissioner. I have already compromised on the Knuckle/fastball thing and the idea of picking pitchers during the normal draft.
Plus, I already spent an hour putting together a list of my top 96 batters in the order I would like them. I would like to think my time of no productivity at work counted for something :)
Yeah, screw positions for this draft. Shitty players will just get subbed anyways, and it will be cool to have a full lineup and bench.
You're up Stock...
I'll take Da. Evens.

There are no positions in RBI. If this were the case, then I would also have to make a rule that you cannot sub (for example) an outfielder for a catcher, if you plan on leaving them in. This just gets too confusing. Let's just make our lineup full of the best hitters we can get and swing away.
JoeDirt, feel free to change your pick before Gantry picks (if this was your stipulational pick)... Is "stipulational" a word? :-\
No, I'm good with the McGwire pick.

I thought so. I almost picked him over Evans (it was a lefty thing). Mac has the 2nd most power on the game, when he doesn't put the sweet spot of the bat on the ball.

Jose "Bitchtits" Canseco
(http://mirrorimageorigin.collegepublisher.com/media/paper320/stills/g0cln8j4.gif) (http://www.actualidadsimpson.com/famosos/8F13JoseCanseco.jpg)
Not to be confused with hjose canseco, who is his less-talented, drunker twin brother. Canseco (called Cansco by his teammates) packs a mean bat and is always swinging for the fences. His outstanding 951 power tied for second in RBI, surpassed only behind franchise pick Andre Dawson. Though GM Gantry Zettler has a penchant for lefties, the sheer size of Canseco's package was to much to pass on...
When asked for a comment on falling to the 6th pick, Canseco had this to say:
(http://www.canseconet.com/finger.jpg)
"I'm going to hunt down all those motherfucking motherfuckers and make them eat my shit. Fucking pencil-necked geeks on the Internet spitting on my good name, how dare they let me slip to the 6th pick. 40/40 bitches, Booyah!"
Fucking classic. Well done, Gantry.
I thought I'd throw a little fightonusc into the mix and make it interesting. I'm not nearly as witty as him though, but I'll get better...

I saw him floating around on this thread late last night. Think he posted on page 1 of this thread too.
Maybe someone can get a hold of him on IM or email?? It is possible he just works during the day?
Well, I dropped him an email.... He typically only comes on at night, which will slow things down a bit...
I'm going with Eric Davis.
I've got class/work all day today but I'll keep checking in to keep things going as quickly as possible.

Select...
Darryl "Drugs" Strawberry
(http://www.cracksmoker.com/dstrawberry3.jpg)
The decision for Strawberry was simple - a powerful left-handed hitter with a good set of wheels. Strawberry is the most complete player in the game and should be the perfect #3 hitter for the Poopybutts.
Inside sources say GM Gantry "Dingleberry" Zettler was adamant on getting a left-handed hitter. He's an outspoken advocate for lefties and was furious about not being able to draft Evans or Jackson.
Most importantly, Strawberry adds a most impressive rap sheet (http://dee-nee.com/rbi/hallofshame.shtml#DARRYL), giving the Poopybutts two maladjusted drug users in their lineup. Team chemistry has never been my strong suit.
Even if we lose, we can now enjoy this daily regimen:
- Roid up before the game
- Get into fights with my teammates
- Let fly balls bounce of my head
- Do a little blow come the 8th inning
- Find a hooker outside the parking lot
- Beat up said hooker
- Do even MORE blow
- Go out to the club
- Beat up everyone in sight
With Strawberry and Canseco, you cover all facets of off-the-field mischief. Get your cameras rolling folks, the Poopybutts will be fun to watch!
I'll go with my boy Donnie Baseball.

The Thundercats select RBI, Jim Rice.
Nails is up with two picks. I'll be around later tonight to get my next pick in, after Nails (if he picks tonight).

The hold up is that the Thundercats are offering just plain chocolate pudding. The Hoggs, being the pudding experts they are, are demanding that sweet ass parfait style pudding with three different flavors.
ummmmm, ass pudding.
Sorry for the delay. I had to stop by the bar after work. Since I can't have Kirk Gibson (bastards), i'll take a pair of Giants:

wasn't it lips who said he'd be on tonight for the draft?
I'm back now fellas. Sorry about the delay this afternoon, Thursdays are kinda shitty for me as work/class/driving have me gone from 9am until 10pm. Thankfully though I now have no responsibilities until Monday. Other than drinking and and being the best RBI general manager I can be.
one of these years we will complete the draft.
Yeah, a thought-to-be one hour dinner with the parents went way longer than expected. My aunt and uncle were in town. Sorry...
Anyways...the Lips Bitch Slapping continues, as I thought for sure Will Clark would still be around for this pick. But of course, no. Thank you, Nails. Good drafting.
So The Thundercats will reach this round, partly because they want to see this bench player have a permanent spot on a starting roster and also because team captain, Potatoes, wants a Cali teammate aboard. And we really don't want to upset Reggie at this point.
The Thundercats select Rupperto!
An excellent choice.
Ryno is up
Tim Raines
Stock is up.
Dammit Ryno.
Can't believe you did that to me. This was going to be my opportunity to bring some speed to my team.
I'll take Bruno. He still looks like grease lightning compared to my first 2 picks.

JoeDirt just shot me an email from work,
"Crud. Tell a-hole Ryno that I was holding out for Raines. Put me down for some Fatty Herbek"
Gantry, your pick.
Hahahahah! Raines wasn't even on my draft radar screen.
I was debating between Bruno and Hrbek. I actually typed "Bruno" then said, what the fuck, give me more speed.
Ok, I just talked to Gantry. He's onsite at a client today, but he's going to page me a pick hopefully soon. He was all ready to make a pick, but everyone is getting pick-fucked.
Gantry was looking to land either Hrbek or Raines...

I'm at work. so let's keep this draft suitable for work.
I really want to wait on my this pick until Nails pick his two, but Nails was a little San Francisco friendly on his last two picks. So, The Thundercats are going to select a guy that they really like; a guy that has been really good to their team owner in occasional play. Plus, he has a great middle name.
The Thundercats select Jeffrey Fucking Leonard!
Thundercats, HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
thunder-thunder-thundercats!
nah, i wanted to get a practice game in. call your boss and tell him you have the pink eye aids virus again...
Nails is up with two picks...and then me.
Nails selects:
1. Dave Henderson
2. Dwight Gooden
I like the Gooden pick. He was my tossup with Leonard, and I figured I would just grab another pitcher if you by chance took him. In the back of my mind, I was hoping you would to...so I could make a "comfort" pick.
The Rocket is mine.
The Thundercats select Roger Clemens.

While not the most consistent player in RBI, he is a big lefthanded bat and is super clutch in grand slam situations. Good enough for me...

(http://dee-nee.com/rbi/pics/pb.png)
Harry Spilman, RBI Legend
(http://dee-nee.com/rbi/pics/spilman.jpg)
Harry Spilman wasn't known as the best hitter or the best fielder or the best baserunner. That wasn't Harry's style... He preferred to add a supporting role, and support he did. The figures never lie:
The Facts
* Born July 18th 1954
* His real first name is William, Harry is his middle name
* Is ambidextrous - bats lefty, throws righty
* Played in the Big Leagues from 1978-1989
* Hit a Home Run in game 3 of the 1987 NLCS vs the Cardinals
* Currently hitting coach of the Houston Astros
To Learn More * Harry's profile on Astros Daily (http://www.astrosdaily.com/players/Spilman_Harry.html)
* Spilman's Stats on Baseball Reference (http://www.baseball-reference.com/s/spilmha01.shtml)
* Houston Astros Homepage (http://www.astros.com/)
ConclusionI'll admit that Harry Spilman isn't one of the first names that pop in your head when you consider the all-time greats. But for anyone who has used Harry in RBI, his name will always comes to mind. He is the best pinch-hitter in RBI Baseball (though some may disagree with me on this), and that is one impressive mark to leave. Who cares if you only hit 18 homers in 12 years, you're in the RBI Elite!!
That's back when baseball players didn't have massive pipes for arms...
I'm not surprised you picked him--just that you picked him when you did.
Dale-do Murphy and Rock Raines for the spillman-ater :D
You're right Joe, I probably should have taken him after Strawbery but I thought he might slip under the radar...

Probably will not be usefull for you in this game. I would never give up a stud hitter for him (only a pitcher that is slightly better). Seeing you picked him as your first pitcher though, there probablly aren't any pitchers you would want for him.
Sorry, I got caught in a meeting at work. I'll be selecting a guy in a few more minutes.
No, I was pointing out that you are a retard bc you never list who's next...it's just a lot easier that way.

I'm guessing that the difference between his fastball and slowball is key for straight pitch. That, and his endurance.

hahaha - i'm sure we can talk about a trade.
If I had to guess, Lips went with Lou because he figured you weren't going to take Sheridan. Though he definitely likes Sheridan over Lou. To me he overthunk...
I smell a trade in the works
I'll swap Sheridan for Lou. No question about it.
Let's do the trade, thanks...
Still...I need another couple minutes for my next pick.
Done deal. No problem, man. Take as much time as you want for the next pick.
Blank Morris is still on the board...it's what the Thundercat fans want...
The Thundercats team captain, Potatoes, is pushing his weight around again. Something about having familiar teammates. Even though the GM doesn't play the meanest Cali in any sense, we are once again going to listen to Reggie's request.
The Thundercats select The X-Factor, Dick Schofield.
i'll go with the groping glaucomaniac
Kirby Puckett
Stock is up, I think.
"Laudnr" is my next pick. I will definitely have the slowest team in this league!
I have just started my drinking, so if this draft continues tonite, NO LAUGHING AT THE REST OF MY PICKS!
Joe Dirt is next.
TRADE ALERT:
Who wants in on a threesome?
I'm sending Gibson or Raines to JoeDirt
He's sending a player along the lines of, say, Guerro to TEAM 3
I'm looking for a power hitting rightie. . . pref with some speed.
I'm not a fan of the cocaine man, other wise this trade would be between joe and I.
Who's in??
Cancesco was the first 40/40 player ever. I'd be willing to part with him for Raines and Gibby...
Edit - This is Gantry, at the good brother's house...
i'm getting rid of Raines or Gibby. Can't part with both of them.
I'd be willing to let go of Hendu for Gibson...
Quote from: Nails on 02/04/05, 07:52:28 PM

I'm sure you would.
Well, Hendu's got more power than Pedro. 879 (H) vs 849 (P).
Sorry about the delay...trying to swing a deal with "stingy" Ryno.
Gimme some Kevin Mitchell and the headless cat.
Sir Gantry is up.
Nails/Lips,
Is the Sheridan for Lou deal done? If so, (out of fairness) I should give any of the other players in our league a chance to strike this trade. If two or more players (25%) wish to block this trade, it should be their right.
We have always done this for our fantasy league, just to prevent any team for getting lopsided (or anyone "working" a great team w/ someone else :().
I KNOW nobody is doing this here, but just want to be a fair commish. ;D
If 2 people do not strike this by tomorrow morning, we will consider it done.
Gantry, is up for the next pick.
I choose not to stand in the way of this trade. There was no attempt at collusion, in my opinion. I think teams have the right to make poor trades (not that this is one)--that doesn't mean there's attempt to cheat. Some people just make poor trades.

Yeah, it's a done deal. So if anyone wants to veto it, fire away.
I wholeheartedly approve the Sheridan for Whitaker trade. Lips went tactical and it backfired, he is one of the finest (if not THE finest) straight-pitch Pat Sheridan players in the country. Most would probably prefer Whitaker, but not the dee-nee clan...
I don't have a problem with it.
Shit, I'm back...and everyone is online. Nice!!

Jim Lindeman, RBI Legend
(http://dee-nee.com/rbi/pics/jimlindeman.jpg)
Quick question - what's the greatest thing to come out of Des Plaines, Illinois? If you said that original McDonalds franchise or that new White Castle on River Road, you are way off. It's the one and only Jim Lindeman, RBI Legend:
The Facts
* Born January 10th, 1962
* Played his college ball at Bradley University in Illinois
* Played in the Big Leagues from 1986-1994
* Hit a Home Run in the 1987 NLCS
* Faced off against former college teammate Kirby Puckett in the 1987 World Series
* From the great town of Des Plaines, Illinois
* Was a "Roving Hitting Instructor" for the White Sox Training Centers
* Currently varsity coach of the Rolling Meadows High School Baseball Team
To Learn More * Lindeman's Stats on Baseball Reference (http://www.baseball-reference.com/l/lindeji01.shtml)
* Lindeman's Stats on CNN/SI (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/baseball/mlb/all_time_stats/players/l/3920/)
* Some weird website with Jim Lindeman's home address on it (http://www.signaturesofsuccess.com/addresses/players/jimlindeman.html)
* Lindeman's profile on The Bull Sox Academy website (http://www.bullssoxacademy.com/baseball/instructors.htm#linderman)
* Detailed Directions to Jim Lindeman's House (http://mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?country=US&address=2278+Scott+Street&city=Des+Plaines+&state=IL&zipcode=&homesubmit.x=19&homesubmit.y=10)
ConclusionJim Lindeman is the man, pure and simple. His play on the field of RBI is nothing short of legendary. Most rookies to the game scoff when big Jim takes the field, but us veterans know better. After Jack Clark, he is the most powerful hitter on the Cardinals roster. Put him in at the seven spot and watch the homers fly...
Baines is up, followed by Noah....
Don't you guys have anything better to do on a Friday night?
The Thundercats are trade-happy. We are willing to trade Jim Rice straight up for Gibson.
By the way, the current RBI Legends count:
Gantry and the Poopybutts 2
Lipitz and the Thundercats 2
Noah and the Ark 1
A lot of curve players put Lindeman at 7th, too...but I'm here to tell you people that it is a big mistake bc in curve, it's too easy to walk around Clark if Lindeman isn't hitting directly before/after him.
Fuckin Lindeman! Might need a minute now.
Quote from: Baines on 02/04/05, 09:35:22 PM
I don't have a problem with it.
Yes, I definitely agree. Hope I'm not coming across as a dick, just want to be fair with the trading thing from the beginning. (This is the first trade). All we are trying to prevent is a ridiculous trade (ie.. I wish to trade Armas and Evens for Burlsn).
Quote from: stockw19 on 02/04/05, 09:46:10 PM

Not at all. It's a wise move.
Lets go with Mr. Pine Tar.
(http://www.mlb.com/images/2003/07/24/7HWDq2FS.jpg)
Damn the talent is getting thin pretty quickly.
I agree...we know what you meant.
as much as I hate lefties, Gibby is too good to give up. Even for Mr RBI.
You don't get to use him as a lefty...

Gantry and the Poopybutts 2
Lipitz and the Thundercats 2
We at dee-nee.com love our RBI Legends. That or we overvalue them because of the PH bonus. Only time will tell...
Nice... You have one more yet.
You slimy bastard.....
And with that pick, the current RBI Legends count is tied 3-ways:
Gantry and the Poopybutts 2
Lipitz and the Thundercats 2
Noah and the Ark 2
Ok, Ryno...you are gonna make me work a little more for Gibson. How does this sound?
How about I give you Jim Rice and my 8th round pick (my next pick, when its come back our way)...for Gibson and your 9th round pick. Meaning, you would have back to back picks in the 8th round, while I would have back to back picks in the 9th.
Interesting enough?

if you could somehow throw in that afro from your aviator, you'd have yourself a deal.
I know Noah didn't just pick one of his two guys, forcing us to wait 45 minutes. Not that I have anywhere to go, but I've cracked open the beers. Don't drink and draft kids...

Sorry for making you wait, dudes. I keep forgetting I get two picks...
I select Hendrick.
Wait, wasnt this Pena a minute ago?

Now, I just originally selected Pena, then went back after a minute or so of thought, and selected Hendrick...is this Ok?

Not really sure exactly what happened here. But, Gantry sounds right. It is up to Baines. If Baines wants Hendrick, he should be allowed to have him, then Noah should have to stick w/ Pena. If Baines does not want Hendrick, then Noah has him.
We will wait for your call/pick Baines.
I was downstairs for a minute and didn't even see the Pena pick. I actually had Hendrick and Madlock in mind for my pick so that's cool if you want Hendrick. I'll take Madlock. They're pretty much the same player anyway.

me and my childhood RBI buddy refer to him as George Wading in the Water Boggs.
It's a long story.
Stock is up, then Ryno, then me.
Since I can't have nolan, I am going with his #2. Mike Scott will be my starting pitcher.
My squad now represents 7 different teams.
Ryno, your up.
Hmmm, so Tony Pena is still available.
I'll go with Bert Blyleven
I'm gonna follow Ryno's lead with Minnesota pitching...and select the first reliever of the draft.
The Thundercats select Senor Smoke, Juan Berenguer.
Nails with 2 picks and then me, and back to Ryno.

Cut and paste, of course...

Not counting Evans, Trammell and Barrett (http://forums.dee-nee.com/index.php?topic=5336.0) of course...

It will definitely be solid, if we can get through the draft tonight...
It would...but we're getting a lil slow...and remember some of us are an hour ahead of time! But don't worry...the last hour has been fairly uneventful--you haven't missed much.
Down to 15 beers, should be enough...
Nails proudly selects:
Tim Teuful

The ladies love the Teufel Shuffle.
and Davey Lopes
I'm up for a full 16 tonight if everybody else is. Nothing else going on, just sitting here with some High Life and playing a ROM I made in between picks.
I'm in. Just finished off my last Miller Lite. I just cracked open my Guinness 8-pack.
Getter done Nails
Yeah but can the Trammell Police hold out?
Iced tea and doritos for me.
yay, diet
Solid... If we pick up the pace a bit, we can all get out of here with relatively little flack from the significant others...
I went class with the Miller Lite bottles tonight, hence the pace. Though it pained me to blow $13.49 on 18 bottles when 30 Old Styles were $11.99 - but you gott spoil yourself every once in awhile...
I'll put some coffee on. I didn't get much sleep last night so i'm wrecked, but i'll do my best.
A quick pick here...
The Thundercats will finally go slow and select Rich Go-Go Gedman.
There is going to be a really good NHB fight on Spike TV in about 10 minutes (maybe 1145 pm central time). It only goes 2 rounds... a replay from monday night.
Check it out to pass the time.

quick question. If you play in "full screen mode", how do you get it back to normal?
my full screen mode is in a full window. i can minimize / maximize no problem.
my full screen mode looks just like it does when I play on my TV. There is nothing to push to minimize it.

Shit ball...
Steve Lombardozzi
OUCH....
"Come on man, you're better than that!"
Dickie Thon
We're fucking done!
1 at-bat power up...that's all I am thinking.
Very impressive finishing off this draft tonight.
Dickie Thon = Mr. Irrelevant
It's terrible... There is a certainly website named after a certain bench player on that team that would have been a much better pick...
Awesome,
I will look over everyone's rosters and write something up when I get up tomorrow. I will start working on the ROM tomorrow too. Don't think there are any errors but will check that too.
What was that trade (whitaker and someone?). Someone may have replied before, but I lost it in the mess of messages.
Complete rosters can be found here (http://forums.dee-nee.com/index.php?topic=5324.0).
Everybody should review it and make sure their team is right, and that you have 12 batters, 4 pitches (2 sp, 2 rp). JoeDirt is in charge of spelling.
Whitaker for Sheridan (nails and Lips)
Yeah...I just couldn't do it though. I already have 2 lefties on my bench, I wasn't going to go with a 3rd. I went with Puhl over Larkin.

Consider the trade official.
Why exactly do you need 2 righties on your bench again?
Ryno started a starting lineup thread (http://forums.dee-nee.com/index.php?topic=5361.0).
Equality is key...
So you have two lefty pitchers then?
Let me rephrase:
Hitting equality is key...
You have no logical answer son... You are fool, just admit it!
I am fool.
At least you are man enough to admit it.... Lombardozzi is guaranteed to get that bottom of the 8th dinger to tie the game against me. I know the routine when you insult someone...

So is dee nee somehow named after Larkin in some sort of sick, twisted way?
If you would spend less time pouring over spelling mistakes and more time absorbing the site, you would know the answer:

What exactly is Dee-Nee?
The term Dee-Nee started out as a sound effect by Potsie. He made a silly sound when bringing in pinch hitter Gene Larkin one day, and we all couldn't stop laughing. So it eventually grew into an everyday term, usually uttered when something good happens to you. Click here (http://dee-nee.com/rbi/sounds/deenee.wav) to hear Dee-Nee in it's proper pronounciation. It's a "dih nih" sound, not "d knee"
Sorry you asked, aren't ya?

This is an injustice of major proportions. Shouldn't we all love dih-nih.com? Why the dee nee spelling? ???

Probably for the sex appeal.
Dee as in "Dees nuts"
Nee as in "get on your nees and suck on dees nuts"
