Dee-Nee!!

Round 1:
Gantry vs. Potsie
Jamie vs. Jason
Round 2:
Potsie vs. Jason
Gantry vs. Jamie
Round 3:
Potsie vs. Jamie
Jason vs. Gantry
This is Jason. I'm just eating Subway waiting for Gantree and Potsie to finish up. Potsie is dominating however Gantry isn't going away. Potsie was up by 9 runs twice just to have Gantry to comeback with 6 or 7 runs the next inning. Good game. Current score 23-17 top of the 8th. Just wanted to say hi. Gantry just yelled so I think he hit a homer. Later.
Game one goes to me, DEE-NEE!!!!!
27-25, with 15 dingers apiece... Potsie was one swing away from a slaughter in two different innings, but Goonies never say die!!!
I suck.
Jason (BO), 16, beats me (DET), 14. We both had 12 homers.
Shit shit shit shit...
Potsies (Det) slaughters me (Ca) in 6 innings, 26-16... I played pretty darn well (14 dingers in 6 innings), but Potsie was simply unstoppable. He broke the records for most dingers through 5 innings (18) and overall had 21 homers in 43 at-bats. So many center field shots too. Gotta shake this off and get prepared for Lips....
I still suck. But I got the W. And right now, that's all that matters. I (CA) beat Jason (Det), 17-16. I had 14 homers, while Jason had 13.
The standings:
Potsie (1-1), 1 slaughter, 51 total runs
Gantry (1-1), 0 slaughters, 43 total runs
Jason (1-1), 0 slaughters, 32 total runs
Lipitz (1-1), 0 slaughters, 31 total runs
Potsie is looking good... He (Det) takes down 21-15, while getting outhomered 13-12. A big lead, Lips and I play a critical game next...
This is Jason again. I just want to chime in on my lasy game with Lips. I was down 17-13 entering the bottom of the 9th and hit 3 striaght HR's. Score 17-16...pop-out 3 times to end the game. Terrible ending.
I just played Potsie and lost 21-15 I think. Potsie scored 4 runs after a 2 out pitcher bop...nice! ANd then he had bases loaded and I sub in Hurst to face Gibson. Well, granny. BLOWS! He didn't get another hit with a lefty against Hurst the rest of the game. Meanwhile, Jim Rice fouled out to the catcher with the bases loaded for me and Another player (I think Baylor) fouled out to the catcher with 2 guys on. ASS! In addition, Ellis Burks set a record grounding into 4 DP's in this game. Add it all up and I should have won, IMO. Oh yeah, in addition, I out hit Potsie AND out homered him!!!! I think that's also a first. Again, ASS! I should be 3-0 but I'm 1-2. Oh well. I get team choice my next game against Potsie and I'll have to bring the Detroit train home. I'll post later.
HUGE!!!!!!!!!
Six inning slaughter, 28-13.... I (Det) hit 19 dingers though six innings while Lipitz (Bo) had 9. I'm hitting very well today, but I gotta face Lips with his Detroit team next. Another huge game...
I have 71 runs through 21 innings....
Standings:
Potsie 2-1, 1 slaughter, 72 runs
Gantry 2-1, 1 slaughter, 71 runs
Jason 1-2, 0 slaughters, 47 runs
Lips 1-2, 0 slaughters, 44 runs
If potsie gets a win here, he's pretty much in the finals. Too many runs and victories....
******************************************************
Lips modify - my run count at this point (by 1), as pathetic as it was.
******************************************************
Potsie and Jason played a very long one, it seemed like the game wouldn't end... 19-19 going into the bottom of the 9th, and Jason gets a dinger with AT. It lasted 40 RBI minutes, but Jason (Det) wins (Ca) 20-19...
Potsie outhomered 15-13 but loses...
This is Jason again. I'm too lazy to sign in on my own screen name. Well I just beat Potsie 20-19. Potsie wasn't too ahppy as he punched the wall as AT's homer was flying out of the field. Well, we all got to lose soemtime...right Pots? Anyways, my timing is WAY off. I fouled out to the catcher at least 6 times...I think 7 but whatever...way too many times. My lack of experience is showing through. Because I havn't scored many runs thus far I think I need to sweep Gantry 2-0 to make the finals, although I'm 2-2 and I believe I should be 4-0 or at the very least 3-1. I'm not drunk yet but getting there. Things are starting to move on me!!! Lips and Gantry are playing now with the score 15-13 top of the 5th, Gantry up.
This is Jason again. The result of the latest game palyed 26-16 Lips slaughtered Gantry. We are all 2-2 going into the final series'. Lips is up against Potsie now and I play Gantry next. This is most likely going down to a tie breaker to see who gets in the finals. We each hold our own destiny!! DEE-NEE!
I seem to keep playing people when they have their best games. Lips popped up a shallow fly ball and he didn't know how many outs there were. Result? A BOP and the 10th run instead of the DP. Dah Nah... Only 13 dingers through 6 innings this time...
Standings:
Potsie 2-2, 1 slaughter, 91 runs
Gantry 2-2, 1 slaughter, 87 runs
Lips 2-2, 1 slaughter, 70 runs
Jason 2-2, 0 slaughters, 67 runs
Closest tourney ever...

Jasdon again. I just played Gantry and found his weakness!!!! I picked DET and he picked BOS. Well he took an 8 run league into the 9th and he had Schraldi left. Gantrry said, "Schraldi can protect an 8 run lead". Well I was SOOOOOOO happy when he pulled Hurst for Sullivan the inning before. Well I scored 8 in the bottom of the 9th and won 25-24 in the bottom of the 10th from a Gibson 2 run homer. Great comeback off of Gantry's lack of experience using using the BoSox.
Gantry official quote, "Yes, Calvin Schraldi is THAT bad!"
I cannot believe I lost the last game, I was pretty much in control the whole time... Calvin will never pitch for me again, EVER!!! I mean, I had a fucking 8 run lead. 9 batters later and the game is tied. I'm not very happy, yet I should be breaking shit. If I lost the next one, perhaps it will happen...
Standings:
Potsie 3-2, 1 slaughter, 111 runs
Jason 3-2, 0 slaughers, 92 runs
Gantry 2-3, 1 slaughter, 111 runs
Lips 2-3, 1 slaughter, 88 runs
Fucking unbelievable... Everyone has had their best game against me. But now I gotta finish the job...
Schraldi is the worst human being in the history of mankind. The list:
1 - Calvin Schraldi
2 - Adolf Hitler
3 - Saddam Hussein
Dah Nah
Well, folks...we haven't updated this page for at least 1 hour. I have good news, at least for me. I didn't have a good tournament at all, but that's ok...WHY? Because everyone tied at 3-3. And because of our rule:
#8. If all four teams tie at 3-3, the entire tourney is replayed at a later date (does not apply to qualifiers).
We will all replay the tourney at a later date. It was the first time that rule was used. Yeah, that sucks...but I'm happy because I needed Gantry to win in the final game to make the 3-3s happen across the board.
We just talked about it, and we think the next attempt at the tourney will be next Sunday, May 11th.
DEE-NEE!!!!
******************************************************
Lips modify - minutes after this point in the night, we found out May
11th was Mother's Day. So we'll probably have the tourney on some
other day.
******************************************************
Not sure of the final standings, because the Pots/Lips game 2 is up in the air, but I scored 19 against Jason (which technically was my worst game in terms of runs/inning), giving me 130 runs in 45 innings...
But it's all moot at this poing, these are the final standings:
Gantry 3-3
Lips 3-3
Potsie 3-3
Jason 3-3
I just wrote like a page of shit and someone logged off and I have to write this crap all over again. DAMN. Anyways, I can't remember what I typed before because I'm psuedo-drunk but I'll try anyways. I finally lost a game which I shouldn't have won to Gantry (I forget the score). I didn't score more than 2 runs in any inning and it was pretty pathetic. So Gantry forced a 3-3 tie between us all. Lips is by far the most happy about that since he played terrible all tourney. He doesn't even deserve to qualify for the second run of the finals. Since next week is Mother's day I'm out. The week after is my girlfriends graduation from Optometry school that week is out. I work the following week, so the week after will have to be it...which is 4 weeks from today. Sucks ass! I would have played Potsie in the finals if I would have beat Gantry the second time around. Potsie is playing the next worse (just ahead of Lips) and I would have kicked the crap out of Potsie in the finals. We (potsie and I) just played a game to see what would have happened and I won 19-8. Potsie is playing Gantry now for fun and Potsie is getting crushed liked 20-3. Boy he blows. Well I'll write later. I have to play Gantry now because Gantry thinks I got lucky with my 8 runs in the 9th against him. But hey....9 runs (or 8 I forget) is hard no matter who you face, so my offensive talent shined through when it counted. VITB6 OUT!
Gantry and Potsie are really drunk now. They are played eachother with their feet. There are dome UGLY feet in this room now. They are on tape now. If there is enough out cries to see them maybe Gantry will put them on the website. Although it isn't a very nice site to see. I'm about to go home now. It was a very good performance by me. I believe I shoudl be 5-1 but I was 3-3. That's the way the cards fall. Since they play A LOT more than me I had a very good day considering...but it is all for not now. Well, 4 weeks from now check back for the championship winner. Hopefully it WON'T be tied 3-3 between us all then. Peace out.

This is a great one. I can smell the booze on this post.
That was an impressive post...
And I kicked Potsie's ass with my feet, it wasn't even close. We'll definitely have another game like that, it was pretty fun...
I keep reading that post. Its hilarious!
