Okay, IF we decide to go with the forums vs. the OG's (original gangsters/original dee-nee members) then this is our player pool so far. Keep in mind that each team needs to field 8 position players, 4 pitchers and 4 subs, totaling 16 players. If we can't get 16 for each team, then we shoud at least fill in the starters and starting pitcher and fill in the missing slots with the "legends of the game". If we need legends for subs, I demand that sullivan be recruited for the DAH NAH team. Also, maybe we should just make this a two team rom and that the player attributes are based on forum contributions.

By the way Sucka, I like the Ludracris--way down in Chicag-ho.
Whenever I call, come running
2-1-2 or 2-1-3
You know that I ball, stop frontin
'For I call on something to free
I fricking love that song...
Those are cool with me, I am still training for the bench. Sitting about 3 hours a day, taking a break, then back at it for another 3 hrs or so. Im so psyched about this team!!!!!
Ready to play.
If the Dee-Nee team is short, we'll start using our official Tournament mascots. They are Frosty (a stuffed snowman), Maddie (my mom's dog) and Mollie (Jason's dog). Frosty would probably be powerful and Mollie would definitely provide some speed off the bench...
Although I have never met Mollie, I'd guess she might be a good fielder.
Actually, according to her collar tag it is Molly and not Mollie. And yes Molly is a speed burner and an unbelievable fielder. She can catch anything you throw at her. She makes a good hockey goalie as well. She is like a brick wall...nothing gets by her.
hey vitb6, did you pull that quote from the hitler miniseries on cbs or have you always had that on there?
Hey Joe, welcome back! How's married life?
Gwynn3k is definitely a member of the Dah-Nahs...
I've had it there for a couple of months now, so no I didn't get it from the miniseries. I got it from the movie, Tears of the Sun, with Bruce Willis. At the end of the movie this quote is on the screen. That movie was out during (or just before) the war in Iraq...when all of Hollywood was against it. However, Bruce Willis is (was) a big supporter of it and so was the producer/director of the movie, so it was put there as a slap in the face to the Hollywood community. I loved it! The movie itself was slow at times but the end was excellent and well worth seeing the movie again and again. I'm going to burn myself a copy of the DVD when I get back from Arizona. I leave tomorrow for a week!!!! Talk to you guys in a week.
great work so far on these teams, can't wait to see it come together... is somebody working on these roms?
I say hold off on the rom until we can complete each on the teams, with players, positions, batting order, and left/right handed. Let's try to finish them this week.
I think we need 16 players for each squad. We are getting really close. If people can write in with the positions they would like to play and if they are right/left handed that wouuld be great. If two or more people are trying fo rthe same position I'll just go by forum participation to decide. So, if you are not in the starting lineup, you can work your way up to it. Sound good?
By the way, I was looking over the rosters and I have to admit that the DAH NAH's are heavy heavy favorites over those Dee-Nee punks!
I am a righty and should probably play 2b, ss, or 3b.
DAH-NAH for life. I want this to erupt into a huge rivalry. Dee-Nee's suck.
I fear the Dah-Nah team maigh have too many righties. Is there anyone who might be able to switch-hit (get your minds out of the gutter--I only mean this in the baseball sense). I've been known to boast power from the left side, myself.
actually you can put me at left. let me explain the reasoning for this. in a recent wiffle ball game i earned the nick name of rob deer by striking out 5 times from the right and then hitting 3 home runs from the left. yes i struck out at wiffle ball. maybe best to put me lefty.
The Dah-Nah's over the Dee-Nee's? HA!!
Do you guys even know who our closer is? Frosty...and he shits fastballs!!!!
(http://dee-nee.com/rbi/pics/tourney2k/frosty.jpg)
The DAH NAH's are 3 players short of a full squad. I think we still can recruti beefmaster and a couple of other stragglers. I made up the starting lineup's for the dah-nah's with an emphasis of forum contribution. PLease let me know if I have made a mistake somewhere.
Dee-nee's still need to let me know who is starting where.
suckafree....i am honored to be placed on the team, and floored that you put me as a number two starter....two reasons...
1) i throw like a girl
2) my dad would never let me pitch in little league and its always been a dream of mine...he always made me play 2nd....
to my first point, i feel that although i dont throw a ton of heat, the key is location location location....i feel like i can place the ball in there anywhere id like and i have alot of junk...junk you cant get just anywhere...junk you can only develop through years and years of sub par training and masturbation....its unreal...
as for picking our squad....there is a nominee that i have...someone who has been with me for years now...he doesnt get online as much because he doesnt have a computer, but my pal T is more than qualified to be on this squad...i liken him to my good pal spillman....hes not there to be flashy...hes not there to score bush...what he's there for is to play the game, contribute when hes needed and to rally the team when they are down...what he lacks in talent, he more than makes up for in grit...i nominate him to come off the bench, either in a reliever role or a pinch hitter....just dont let him manage a game...cause he is ungodly....terrible...just a disgrace.....
i thank you again...and goodnight....
You might already have me down as a righty, but I have decent power from the left side as well. Can stay alive better from left than right for sure. If 3b or CF is open I wouldn't mind playing those pos. Otherwise, I am still getting in shape for the bench. Just yesterday I sat on my ass for a total of 11 hrs. I will be the best bench warmer on the Dah Nah's.
BBan7700,
Unlike the Dee-nee squad there is such a high demand to become a memeber of the DAH NAH's that I am forced to limit the squad to forum memebers only. Those who contribute the most get a starting nod. You have been a solid forum member and therefore a valid choice as a starter. By the way, can I make you a lefty?
Murph....I hate to see you on the bench, but once this rom is made you can also sub yourself into the starting lineup. Agaion nothing personal I just made the lineup according to forum participation
Thee dee-nee's need 3 more players and the dah nahs need 2 more players. We are getting close to having two full rosters for a two team rom.
Dream senerio: Having every Rom player in a room drinking beers and batting with themselves in the game. There would be 18 people playing at once!
Looks like these teams are starting to shape up. As a member of the Dah-Nah's, I'm getting a little concerned about team Dee-nee. Especially if they have a late inning lead. I'd hate to bat against Frosty in the 9th.
I definately think this should be a two team rom. Leave no option but to have a dee-nee v. dah-nah grudge match when loading that bad boy up. As for attributes i think they should be determined by participation/contribution quality/player personality. How the hell you figure that out, who knows, but it would be cool. Finally, it is clear that should the real life dee-nee/dah-nah battle ever materialize, the only beer allowed would be double bock. Hope you concur Gantry. Dee-Nee for life!
i completely understand....i agree that it should be those who were forum members, and my friend T was a regular contributor to the team while he did have a computer...to be frank, he discovered this site for us and brought it to my attention....if you look back in the forum history, you will see t starting and contributing to many topics....most famously his "case for davidson" piece which shows why he should never be a manager....
props to the man with the megaman icon....second best nintendo character ever
Hey, has there been any discussion as to uniform colors? As a member of the Dah-Nahs, it is my opinion that we should strive for the most ass-ugly uniforms possible. I'd have to look at the editor to get a good idea of the options, but I'm sure we can come up with something. Also, we should change our skin color, which I think can be done with Nightwulf's editor. I don't know that the Dee-Nees would be able to overcome the intimidation factor of a bunch of green-skinned guys in hideous uniforms.
And bban, who is the greatest Nintendo character ever? Mario? Link? Samus? Bo Jackson in "Tecmo Super Bowl"? The guy from "Kabuki Quantum Fighter" that kills people with his hair? Don't leave us hangin' like this!
there are two schools....for me, the RBI players with their no nonsense attitiude and flair for the dramatic are number one...if we are going outside of RBI, id have to say that Mega Man is number one, number two beingthe black mage from final fantasy....also placing in this is donkey kong, however he must be in a nintendo 64 setting....him playing golf or riding a kart is priceless...and i also am a big fan of the long piece in tetris...nothing says high score like a herd of those fuckers
...the greatest nintendo charater is either Don Flamanco from Tysons punch out or starman from pro wrestling.
...frosty would be a son-of-a-bitch to hit off of in the ninth. But the DAH NAH's are a bunch of rag-tag ball players, hell bent on showing those chi-town boys the door.
....It'll be very intereting to devise a method of creating personal atributes for this rom based on participation. Keep in mind that the teams should be even so if we went on participation, the DAH NAH's would have an advatage. Therefore, the DAH-NAHS are based on participation in the forums because we are essential the forum team and the DEE NEE should be based on something Gantry comes up with, like hometown legendary status. Hell potsie maybe their greatest player.
...majority rules on the uniforms
...what is T's forum name?
creative as ever, t's forum name was t
I'm sorry but the best Nintendo character is Mario. He's the main character in Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr. Donkey Kong 3, but also Mario Bros, Super Mario (how many versions?), Mario Karts, etc.
Don't forget he's the referee in Mike Tyson's Punch Out. I'm sure there are a million other places Mario appears in that I'm missing, but then again I've been drinking since 3pm.
:-)
Mike
I believe that Mario was also the ump in Tennis and Mario/Luigi were the two members of the original NES Golf. Both quality games...
Gantry, seldom would I seek to rebuff your wisdom but in this case I must be heard. Neither Mario nor Luigi stars in original golf for NES. It just happens to be a fat, mustachioed guy... don't get confused. However our favorite plumber brothers are stars in tennis for nes, mario tennis for n64, tennis for gameboy, and also don't overlook tennis for virtual boy. I can't really see those guys being into racket sports but apparently they are fiends.
Addendum - mario and luigi did however star in NES open which was a later, and much better, nes golf game. Anyone needing more useless nes knowledge i can be consulted for a marginal fee.
Though this isn't definitive, some weirdo wrote a book about Mario and says it's him in Golf:
Golf: Um, there's not much to this one. It's golf. Pretty primitive overhead graphics, but otherwise a good simulation. Mario is the golfer as far as anyone can tell. It is a mustachioed man who's kind of short and stocky, but without the trademark red hat & overalls, it's hard to say. The book Mario Mania credits it to Mario, so I'll give it to 'em.
---
There's probably some Mario messageboard debating this right now....
It may have to remain a mystery. I will continue to believe it to be just some fat duffer, but certainly I will not exclude any possibility. I think this actually goes to show the importance of us concentrating out abilities on RBI since as you said there are probably some even dorkier folks out there debating the mariosity of nes games. Let's not forget Mario Paint, you know you loved it.
I don't think we can get any dorkier than dee-nee.com. Though we drink more than your average geek...
I agree. Gantry--it looks like your California Angel guy is wearing a pocket protector.
Gantry,
Can you make out a lineup for the Dee-Nee's complete with positions and right/left handed? PLus you need to recruit 3 more players. Anymore pets?
My quick Dee-Nee:
1B - Eddie (R)
2B - Mollie (L)
SS - Jason (R)
3B - Nick (R)
OF - Slim (R)
OF - Sperling (R)
OF - Jae (R)
B1 - Lipitz (R)
B2 - Potsie (R)
B3 - Gantry (R)
B4 - Maddie (L)
P1 -
P2 -
P3 - Frosty (R)
P4 - Zorb (L)
Hmmm, gotta recruit 2 pitchers. Jason would be our best pitcher (and hitter / fielder for that matter) but we need him at the plate. Did Jae or Sperling ever pitch?
Pete Scheicke would fill a slot, I'll have to make him a profile page first. He'll get some RBI action this weekend. Last spot is a toughie, perhaps the dog Frosty or Brandy / Chelsea?
Notice all non-humans are lefties, or else we'd be dead...
Gantry,
You, lips, and postie have to be in the starting lineup. It just wouldn't be the same iof the legends of dee-nee were not starters. Hell, you created the site. The whole point of the rom is to be battle agains tthe guys we know.
But (1) Most teams typically use 2-3 subs immediately and (2) we're all terrible and need the pinch-hitter boost to be any good. Though we can put Lips in for Slim at RF, then save Pots and myself for 1st inning sub or late-inning heroics. We could inflate Lips and my stats, based on dee-nee clout. I have no problem with that, Lips?
Way to go Sucka--Reggie Jackson level!
Holy Shit, I didn't even notice that I was closing in on 500 posts. LOL, sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gantry,
I think players ability in the dee nee/dah nah rom should soley be based on forum/site participation. You created the site, so you should be a dominate player in the game. NIghtwolf has done some crazy ass programming and should be dominate in the game. Vitb6 rarely contributes anything of value so he should be a sub par player. LOL j/k Seriously, everything should be based on either number of posts and/or site contribution. As forum memebers increase posts or participation then we can boost their level of play.
I don't think we should go on # of posts alone, because I should clearly be a better player than sucka free. He may have more total posts, but I've been a forum member longer, and most of sucka's posts are stolen from me (see the all-fat team). Why not just post a thread "all-fat team, edited to be better"?
I'm totally kidding by the way.
I'm ready for the Big Time!!!! Put me in at right field, leading off for the Dee-Nee's. And then give me Pat Sheridan's stats (I'm a righty, though).
WATCH OUT DAH-NAH'S!!!!!!!!

It was funny before the edit
That's it--I'm beaning Lips every time he's up! Mollie too.
Yeah, I didn't wanna get too personal with the mama jokes. Especially since it was meant in good fun.
looks like the Dah Nahs have a new 1st baseman. -1 gdavis +1doverbi !!!!!!
LOL j/k
Gantry,
You just need to recruit 2 starting pitchers and you'll have a full squad! By the way, look over your team to make sure I have everything correct. I would suggest that some of your starters become lefthanded batters overnight. An all righty lineup isn't good.
Hey there Im a newbie but RBI fan and I was a relief pitcher in last year in my sophomore year of high school but I started centerfield. I didnt know if there were any more spots left or not but thought Id ask.
My name is Matt Payton I am a switch hitter and batted .330 with 1 inside the park homer and 25 RBI's and 4 Stolen Bases. My ERA was 2.65.
I am basically the Dah-Nah Lou Whitaker in that I bat low in the order and bring extremely clutch hits especially op-o bloops!
the DAH NAH are complete. I added ericdavisfan to the starting lineup and adjusted the order.
For the dee-nee's I added eric and eddy as starters since they weren't in the lineup. Gantry, let me know if you want those two guys as pitch hitters instead. By the way, you just need two more people for your team to have a full squad.
Here's a question? What will the team colors be for the Dee-Nee v. Dah-Nah showdown... anyone thought of this?
i think all white uniforms would be pretty sweet. We could call ourselves the dah nah pimps!
if we are the pimps, could my name be abbreviated to mr ass?
Gantry,
Any luck finding 2 more players for the Dee-Nee squad?
1. Gantry
2. Lips
3. Vitb6
4. Potsie
5. Sperling
6. Eddy
7. Erik
8. Jae
9. Nick
10. Zorba
11. Frosty (He shits fastballs!)
12. Mattie
13. Mollie
14. Slim
Sucka free...Erik is Slim, so change "14. Slim" to Pete. And then we could possibly add two bench warmers, Savoia and Jessie to round out our 16? Gantry, what do you think?
I made the changes Lips. Thanks. The DAH-NAH line-up is pretty much set. If any forum members object to anything let me know. Otherwise our lineup is a go. Once you and Gantry finalize your team we can get starteed on creating stats for the teams.
One thing sucka, there are two 3rd basemen on team Dah Nah. We need a 1B.
QuoteThat's it--I'm beaning Lips every time he's up! Mollie too.
I would bean Lips as well....but I draw the line at Molly. Don't mess with her!!!!
And Erik has to be on the bench. Not only does he not play baseball in real life, he never writes on this board. Plus that fuck owes me $75 bucks!
I think Payton must get a different Avitar, or whatever those things are called. Everytime I see that California dude I think Gantry is writing something and it is Payton. Really pissing me off. I've gotten to the point where I don't even look at the name and tell who is writing by their pic. No 2 members should have the same avitar.
thanks for looking out vgp!
Vit, I made those changes. Let me know if I have all the R/L info correct as well. The ones I didn't know I made lefties because your team desperatly needs them.
Sucka free...I just got done talking to Sperling, and here's how we have it:
Dee-Nee's batting order, with line-up
1. Lips (R), RF
2. Nick (L), 3B
3. Vitb6 (R), LF
4. Gantry (R), SS
5. Potsie (R), 1B - he has giraffe-long legs
6. Sperling (L), CF
7. Pete (L), 2B
8. Jae (R), Catcher - he's fat
SP. Mattie (R)

B1. Savoia (R)
B2. Eddy (L)
B3. Erik (L)
B4. Jessie (R)
Great job lips! It looks like we have both teams assenbled. Now all that we have to do is come up with a method to create player stats ands abilites and then convice someone to create the rom. Damn this could be a freaking awesome drinking rival. the dee-nee's vs the dah-nah's. Once this is made, we have to have some sort of tourny for braggin rights. Maybe in addition to your RBI tournament you can include an extra day for a dee-nee/Dah nah rivalry game.
I would concur with Lipitz that is a very good lineup and the right people. I was laughing my ass off at the long legs of Potsie and the heftyness of Jae.
Attention Dah-Nah's,
I need everyone to calculate their stats so I can post them. As for the dee-nee's some you will not be able to use the stat model so hopefully gantry and lips can create another method to come up with stats for you
I don't normally play/start rookies, but DoveRBI has been coming on strong lately. Hence he is now the lead off batter for the Dah Nah's even though he is a newcomer. Good job dove, just make sure you can get on base!!!!
No worries my dah-nah mates... i have a lot of practice getting to first base, and john lockhart promised he would show me later what you've got to do to get to 2nd, and even 3rd if i'm a good boy. i'm going to pick up a sixer and calculate my stats in a bit. eat my a-hole pettis, i'm the new leadoff man in town!

I was somewhere around 50-60, that's a ballpark figure. I just want the same stats as GDavis from the original game.
Also I think GPines should get extra points for being a real minor league baseball player, and the fact that he could probably kick all our asses in real life.
Hey sucka, wanna revive this topic for a few more posts...and map all the forum members and their positions (from what you have listed) to their RBI player? That way, the ROM-maker will know exactly where to put the new player, in the game.
Remember...in the ROM, player names could only be 6 (it's only 6, right?) characters long.
Jason, do you want Vitb6 or Jason as your name?
Anyways, here are the Dee-Nee's!!!! Beware!!!!!!!!
Batting Order:
1. Lips, RF, Pat Sheridan
2. Nick, 3B, Darrell Evans
3. Vitb6, LF, Reggie Jackson
4. Gantry, SS, Ruppert Jones
5. Potsie, 1B, Rick Burelson
6. Mark, CF, Lou Whitaker
7. Pete, 2B, Will Clark
8. Jae, C, Tim Laudner
Pitchers:
Maddie, Don Sutton
Molly, Roger Clemons
Frosty, Don Robinson
Zorba, Willie Hernandez
Bench Players:
Savoia, Harry Spilman
Eddy, Gary Carter
Erik, Kevin Bass
Jessie, Steve Lake
After viewing the lineup of the dee-nee's I am more convinced than ever that they are on the way to a firey end at the hands of the DAH-NAH'S!
I'm subbing out Potsie for Savoia every game...

Lips you need ot add the righty/lefty part to your team
I thought we were taking ALL of the RBI players' attributes...
Quote from: Vitb6 on 07/05/03, 07:22:38 PM
Anyhoo, I think that we should keep the same "handedness" as the player that you pick. We should get all the same attributes as that player as far as speed and defense etc... Also, the line-ups where set awhile ago so whatever player you pick will bat in the order, or on the bench. No mixing around the lineup after you know who your "guy" is. So if someone is batting 1st, you maybe want to pick a contact or speed guy. It's up to you.
Lips is right, there is NO righty v.s. lefty make-up. Whichever handedness your RBI player is, is the way you will be in the ROM. Some players may be better or worse from the opposite side of the plate. So Pat Sheridan is a lefty and therefore Lips is a lefty. If your are a lefty and your picked Ellis Burks, well guess what you are now a righty.
I don't know if I like that. For starters, almost every Dee-Nee is lefty. Second, I wouldn't feel right pretending to be lefty.
I don't think it'll matter much for our sqaud. In fact I think the only player that will be effected is craig who took puckett
..oh wait, that'll maek our entire pitching staff left handed.....i'm not sure if I am cool with a team with no left handed relieve. Is there no way to adjust the right/left handed matchup? If not, then maybe the left handed players should redraft a player.
Ahhh...so quickly the "We're gonna kill the Dee-Nee's" goto "Can we have a re-draft?"
Rest in peace, Dah-Nah's!!!!!!!!
AMEN Lips! SUCKA, you were playing hardball by not letting us have the big stick Sullivan and now you are quietly burying your tail asking for retribution on a draft that everyone knew the rules to beforehand. Someone make the ROM, the DAH-NAH's have self destructed.
QuoteI am open for suggestions as to any alterations that you see fit. I am mulling over putting EDFAN higher up in the order becasue of his power and that he is left handed. I am open to anything, except that DOVE will remain in the leadoff spot.
What is so difficult? We had a LINEUP set beforehand. You CANNOT go CHANGING around the lineup now that people have picked players. As I said before, and Lipitz quoted me about 2 posts above...if you are batting leadoff you may want to pick a speed guy etc... Whatever position DOVERBI was originally slated for (6th or bench...whatever) that is where Vince Coleman will be. Vince Coleman is a LEFTY, so even if DOVE is really a right, he is now a lefty because he picked Coleman. This isn't supposed to be accuarate down to reality, we just picked players to be us in the game. Everything is set. Use the lineups from BEFORE the draft and get someone to start up the ROM.
LIPS, since you have a lot of time at work :-) can you list the "OFFICIAL" lineup with player name and their RBI counterpart on a new thread called OFFICIAL ROSTER. Then if Marquis can be so kind as to implement this ROM. Shouldn't be hard because we carry over the SAME STATS just change the name of the batter to our names. Pretty easy if you know how to do it. BTW LIPS, put my name as VITB6.

On the issue on the marc sullivan deal, I wasn't playing hard ball, I was just flat our correct. Has anyone besides bban ever seen a post by t? In order to move the draft along that by the way took weeks, I needed to start drafting for players for people.
As for the drafting rules, I guess I missed a couple of posts in the mix of the 50 different threads that we had going on. I really wasn't aware that left/right was included in the players stats. I guess when someone writes a couple sentences in a post it becomes a concrete rule. But so be it. If we have a staff of all right handers then we have a staff of all right handers.
As for the lineup, I thought I was the manager? Since when can't a manager adjust his lineup? What sense does it make to create a lineup before you have any players? But since I'm not making the ROM it is totally out of my hands, however if I was making hte ROM I would try to make it as competative as possible.
Either way, our team is still much better than your crappy team. DOVE, go kick there ass!

QuoteOn the issue on the marc sullivan deal, I wasn't playing hard ball, I was just flat our correct.
no offense but no, you aren't/weren't right. You guys made your lineup and accepted 'T' on your team. Therefore he has just as much right as anybody else to be the player he wants. If his friend comes on and says he wants Brookens, then that should be it. Should have 'T" posted if he cared so much...absolutely, point well taken, however we made the draft so that everyone is equal and being the player that you desired wasn't based on your activeness on the forums. There are people on the Dee-Nees that have never posted before (ie. jessie, savoia, eddy, pete) and we talked to them and posted who we were taking for them. Never did we say, well because they didn't come on here to post we are going to pick for them. That is where I lose you.
QuoteIn order to move the draft along that by the way took weeks, I needed to start drafting for players for people.
I know, it was your team that had the problem drafting. But 'T's friend said that he wanted Brookens and you shot him down, because he didn't post. See above why I don't think that should be a criteria. If it was a criteria that you were going to use then I guess you shouldn't have accepted a player on your roster with zero posts to begin with.
QuoteAs for the drafting rules, I guess I missed a couple of posts in the mix of the 50 different threads that we had going on. I really wasn't aware that left/right was included in the players stats.
Ok fair enough.
QuoteI guess when someone writes a couple sentences in a post it becomes a concrete rule.
True. Plus we have mentioned it more than once or even twice.
QuoteAs for the lineup, I thought I was the manager? Since when can't a manager adjust his lineup? What sense does it make to create a lineup before you have any players? But since I'm not making the ROM it is totally out of my hands, however if I was making hte ROM I would try to make it as competative as possible.
This was because we drafted names randomly out of a hat. Because of that just in case one team had the 1st 5 picks, you couldn't put those players in the order 1-5. Wouldn't make things very fair. But if the dude that got the #1 pick was on the bench, then you would have to make a decision to sub him in, etc... It makes things much more balanced, in a draft (and a ROM) when things are up in the air and are supposed to be fun.
QuoteEither way, our team is still much better than your crappy team.
No worries here...no worries here.
Marquis, thanks for your willingness to make the ROM's. Look at the thread entitled OFFICIAL ROSTERS to use. I'll post that now, since I have 2.5 hrs before I have to do anything constructive this afternoon.
BTW SUCKA, I'm not mad or anything, just posting my views.
Oh just saw Lipitz already posted them. And it is entitled: "
Official Drafted ROM Lineups". And yes since you made GDavis your #3 hitter and he chose Glenda Davis...Davis is now your #3 hitter. And EDFAN had the #1 pick and chose Strawberry, and cince he was hitting 7th (I believe), then Straw is batting 7th. Again makes things more balanced. Best lineup...no, but same holds true to us. As Gantry said Savoia will be subbed for Potsie every single game (unless Potsie is playing) but that is the fun of it. You think we want Darrell Evans batting 2nd? That is the hand we were dealt and that is the hand we will play with.
I'm confident our team with still ring supreme....ARE YOU?

Vitb6,
Its all good on my side as well. I always get fired up when anything closely resembles a fantasy league. We definitly disagree on the sully issue. In all actuality, considering that T only has one post he really shouldn't be on the team. But BBAN is an active member so i threw him a bone to include him. However, considering that the membership of this team is soley based on forum participation, it was important to make it mandatory for OUR picks to be done on the forum. The DEE NEE squad is ttoally different. Your team comprises of your friends, neighborhood gang, ect. I would love to be aleto throw my buds on the team as well, but I can't because we are a forum team. Hence my insistance that our picks must be done via the web and word of mouth. We are a web-based team not a "played on the same little league" team. I think its fair that our draft prerequsites differ slightly because our makeup is different.
As for picking hte names out of the hats, in hindsight we shoud have had two hats one for each team and alternated picking players out of each hat so that you wouldn't run into the problem of having a team getting the first 5 picks.
Finally, I feel justified in asking that we have an option to select a new lefty pitcher based on the fact that the DEE NEE's out right stole the first pick of the draft. If memeory serves me correctly, Ericdavisfan ahd the first pick and since he hasn't been here for a while, "lost" it somehow, where in actuality, we should have picked it for him.
YEAH!
VGP...you are so good at this.
man...this is some hot shit...
i apologize for throwing a bit of a kink into the ring here...i meant to, near the beginning of the draft, to say that i would be selecting on T's behalf...and i take blame for not doing so....i didnt mean to make any waves, was just wondering if a change in the picks could be allowed...when talking to t, i convinced him based on his lack of postings and overall talent, that he should be happy to even sniff sully's jockstrap....after 2 seconds of deliberation, he aggreed....and is happy to even be included, and as a red sox player, he is honored....but im glad to see the juices running wild....this competition will be like few others........
and as for the comment "do you think we want darrel evans batting second"......of course you do...you want him batting period....the guys a fucking tank....1-9 the dah nahs have it in balance...you dee nees are a bunch of john daly's on the diamond...you may rule in a softball league...but RBI is more than just a home run derby my friends....the dah's play smart baseball....great defense and have a cunning style that can only be stated as "chic"....deal

Man, these threads are getting stranger and stranger... I personally missed the post saying you have start a strict order, that's a bit odd to me. But then again, we have 2 teams on a 10 team ROM.
How about we make an "original" lineup and an "altered" lineup? That way you can choose which style off Dee-Nee-vs-Dah-Nah you want to play...
That's a good solution. And we could still put all the teams on the same ROM too...
Gantry, Jason...any ideas on the "revised" Dee-Nee lineup? Post at:
http://forums.dee-nee.com/index.php?board=3;action=display;threadid=784
I will try to comment a bit later.
QuoteI personally missed the post saying you have start a strict order, that's a bit odd to me. But then again, we have 2 teams on a 10 team ROM.
Well here you go Gantry since you missed it. Nor surprisingly though since you didn't even know we were doing a draft until I showed up at your place...

« Reply #2 on: 07/05/03, 07:22 PM »
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can thank Gantry for picking me #2. Dee-Nee. I mainly wrote the stuff on the internet while Gantry, Lips and my girlfriend picked out the hat. I picked a couple but mainly trying to keep on the forum.
Anyhoo, I think that we should keep the same "handedness" as the player that you pick. We should get all the same attributes as that player as far as speed and defense etc... Also, the line-ups where set awhile ago so whatever player you pick will bat in the order, or on the bench. No mixing around the lineup after you know who your "guy" is. So if someone is batting 1st, you maybe want to pick a contact or speed guy. It's up to you. "
As it says this was one 7/5 and a reitteration of another thread even before this one...which were right after the draft before anyone was picked.
I arrest my case. Jason wins again. Lips was my assisstant...Jason Alexander in "A Few Good Men". lol
Whatever...go fuck around with your lineups if you won't give it a rest. Jesus Christ, this was supposed to be easy and non-complicated. I'm done posting on this matter until Marquis gets the ROM up and running. Thanks again Marquis.
BTW- LIPS, I say we stick with the lineup AS IS. We will still kick the crap out of the other eternal pussy team, even AFTER they:
1) broke the rules
2) didn't let people draft the players they wanted
3) tinkered with their lineup
4) have a fucking ALL-STAR on their team
5) And now they want to re-draft a lefty pitcher.
Do what you all want 1-4 but no changes to #5. Everyone picked their players and if they were righties too damn bad. Live with it and try to conquer your shortcomings.
And to BBAN: no we wouldn't put Evans batting 2nd. I never said we didn't want him on our team. Evans is so fucking slow that he gets thrown out from RF about once per game. His attributes would be much better batting 4th. I would rather have
sweet Lou or even Jones or Spilman batting 2nd.

Who is this directed at?
Err, make that #100 in this thread, still very impressive!!
I don't think Jason's comment was towards anyone per se, just a little frustration with getting this thing going. We shouldn't put too much stock in Dee-Nee-vs-Dah-Nah anyway, at least until we get some consistent Internet play going. I know nobody here is going to want to play the Dah Nahs...
i dig you on evans my man....hes a machine, and as such, lacks the mobility that many table setters have.....my point was that id rather have my two hitter driving in 5 runs a game on two homers rather than my speedy guy who cant hit it out of the jinfield.....
i think we should make glenn davis our leadoff guy and put vince coleman in the pen.....he doesnt have much heat on the fastball, but hes crafty....like charlie hough...or the kid from "rookie of the year" after he lost his powers...."gardenhoser"....
funky butt lovin....
Vitb6,
I have always been one to throw gasoline on a fire so here I go again :).....
1. What rules did we break? Since when do your posts become rules, espically since a small minority were even aware that you wrote them
2. What players didn't get to draft the players they wanted? Can you prove to the DAH NAH's that the other memebers on your team actually picked those guys? As I explained before, our team is a forum based team not a neighborhood gang. Therefore you need to post your pick for our team, if not, then the DAH NAH team picks for you.
3. Not being able to adjust your lineup after you pick has got to be the most ridiculous idea ever. Honestly, the idea is just bad. Both teams should make adjustments if they want.
4.Gwynn sucks in RBI. Its not like we asked for Dale Murphy. Besides there were still 10 or more players left in the draft who are better than gywnn so we actually did you guys a favor. Complaining that we have an allstar is chickenshit. Would you complain if it was pedqruiq? Probably.
5. Again, only a small minority of people were aware of your posts. And again I wasn't aware that your posts instantly became forum rules. Hell the websites creater wasn't even aware of it. And your player attributes comment doesn't include right/left. "ECT", wouldn't hold up in any court. I could argue that I thought you were ONLY referring catergories in which the attributes in question are measured with a numerical value. I'm sure if the person drafting was aware that they were selecting a pitcher that was R and that they were L, it is reasonable to assume that they would select someone that threw witht the same arm as themselves.
You pretty much got hammered on all 5 points. Clearly I make the most compelling arguments. DAH NAH 1 DEE NEE 0
I am done with this arguement, it is a moot at this point. But I will respond to one point you made because an idiot can prove you wrong without typing much so here goes:
QuoteAnd your player attributes comment doesn't include right/left. "ECT", wouldn't hold up in any court.
Really? It doesn't huh. Hmmmm, ahem *clears throat* ahem again (to make sure everyone can hear me clearly...my first sentence reads:
QuoteAnyhoo, I think that we should keep the same "handedness" as the player that you pick.
So who are you crapping? Nice try.
I have no control over the level of intellectual reading comprehension of those trying to discern my posts. Those were the rules that I developed because the drafting method did have some holes. However, it was the easiest (and yes least complex) way to go about things. Because it had some holes I (along with Lips) thought that whatever player you picked would go right into the lineup that was already set. If you make your perfect lineup right away then there would never be a reason to sub players. That is part of the fun of RBI, because who the hell leaves in Spike Owen or Gary Pettis anyway? But since you are taking this in such a spirted, competitive nature; it has taken away some of the allure of developing this ROM in the first place.
I'm being good about not falling into your last post which is clearly there to antagonize and get me riled-up. I'm not mad and really don't give a shit. But you're trying to change things that Lips and I made very clear a long time ago, numerous times. Nobody said anything when they were posted. Now we have everything done, for better or for worse and we are still at the same point we were last week. Let's just get this done with already, so we can move on!
Oh and one more thing:
QuoteSince when do your posts become rules
That is a rule in and of itself! BTW, I wasn't aware that you appointed yourself GOD on the DAH-NAH's side. I smell an impeachment!
I'll address a couple of points in no paticular order...
1. Considering that it was my idea to start this rom and that I recruited the players, it is logical to assume that any lineup adjustments would be made by me. Besides, someone had to step up and move this draft along.
2. In a game with 4 good pitchers and 4 good pinch hitters, when wouldn't you want to sub out a pitcher. With a perfect lineup you still have to bat with the pitcher which is an automatic out. The opportunites and incentatives to use all 4 pitchers in a game are too great to pass up.
3. I flat out missed the handedness thing. My bad. I'll call it even after you guys stole reggie.
4. The idea of drafting players into a lineup is really bad and it gives your team a huge advantage because you can all huddle together and talk about it. We couldn't have that option because out communition is over an open forum. Still, just on the notion of creating a lineup without players is fundamentally flawed.
5. As far as the antagonization goes, you threw the first blow, so the "holy than thou approach" isn't flying.
***either way I am over and done with it. I have a feeling that we are both simillar in that fact that niether one of us will waiver from our positions. With that being said, I just say that gantry should make decisions regarding everything since he is the uber god of the site and then jsut make the rom.
props to marquis to in making the rom
GOD DAMN IT Sucka, you keep making me post!!
QuoteThe idea of drafting players into a lineup is really bad and it gives your team a huge advantage because you can all huddle together and talk about it.
You see one of the problems are that you are taking this way too seriously and much more so then us. If you think that we are talking strategy about who to take, then you are parnoid my friend. We havn't spoken one word of who other people should take. Can someone say something about our communication to put SUCKA'S querying mind to ease.
QuoteIn a game with 4 good pitchers and 4 good pinch hitters, when wouldn't you want to sub out a pitcher. With a perfect lineup you still have to bat with the pitcher which is an automatic out. The opportunites and incentatives to use all 4 pitchers in a game are too great to pass up.
Exactly. In RBI you sub in a guy or 2 or in Boston's case 4 guys off the bench for ACTUAL position players, not just the pitcher. That is some of the fun. When it is the 6th inning and you have 2 pitchers left but only 1 bench guy left. When to pull the pitcher and how long to leave him in...
QuoteAs far as the antagonization goes, you threw the first blow, so the "holy than thou approach" isn't flying.
This is what really got me going. Actually, if you scroll back some...VGP listed your LINEUP and your player the way they shuold be. Then YOU started talking about submitting handedness. Then LIPITZ (not even me) said "I thought we were using the handedness of the player you picked" (or something to that extent. I jumped in to concur that Lips was right. And then YOU started with this shit and then threw out changing the lineups, and wanting to redraft a player (to overthrow one of the forum members pitchers that they picked). I guess the coach disliked some of the pitchers picks. So don't say that I started this mess. For once, I stayed out of it for awhile.
QuoteConsidering that it was my idea to start this rom and that I recruited the players, it is logical to assume that any lineup adjustments would be made by me.
Again...seriously...no offense but I have to say this to that statement...shut the fuck up, you sound like CLYON!!!!! Damn that felt good. Seriously, you sound like that cat and we all know that neither you nor I or anyone else on this forum was in agreement with him on that other debate. So leave that aside.
Thank goodness we don't have to rely on CLYON to make this ROM. MARQUIS...PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME EAT MY WORDS!! :-)

vit,
considering you won't get a chance to read this, I'll just say that we are in complete disagreement over pretty much everything. Either way its over.
Get him a bodybag! YEAH!!!
Why do you guys start all this crap? We drafted teams so now lets make some roms and play. As Dave Coulier would say, "Cut-it-out."
That's where I draw the line. Any Full House comments will be rejected! For the love of god, when will the Full House comments end??
vgp,
was the bodybag comment from karate kid 1? fantastic.
You know, vgp, those kind of comments will only encourage him. Next thing you know, doveRBI will be doing Bullwinkle impressions or (God forbid) attempting to act vomitously cute, like the Olsen twins.
Speaking of Full House, by the way, what ever happened to Dave Coulier? He pretty much disappeared off the face of the earth after that show went off the air. John Stamos disappeared too, but he married Rebecca Romijn, so he has a good reason to never ever leave his house.
Gentlemen cut me some slack, though I will chastize myself for making reference to dave coulier, it is not actually uncle joey who first uttered those words. take the coulierism back to its origin on his MTV show from that early 80's. does anyone remember the name?
I actually don't think the show was on MTV, maybe it was...but I thought it was Nickelodeon. And the show was "Out of Control". I was thinking about this show, right when you said it, dove.
Remember the co-star, with the very long finger nails. Now, those were nasty.
After thinking about it...I'm pretty sure the co-star had some very annoying make-up, an obnoxious laugh, and chewed gum like a cow (whatever that means).
And IIRC, Coulier or whatever his name was the original host of America's Funniest People or whatever it was called. This was right after (or maybe during?) Full House. Not that I ever watched it, or something...
You're right, Gantry - Dave Coulier was the co-host of "America's Funniest People", along with Tawny Kitaen, the "actress" who beat up Chuck Finley, her baseball-playing husband, last spring. Best I can recall, "AFP" was an "America's Funniest Home Videos" takeoff, except it was pre-planned stuff, not random stuff that happened to be caught on tape.
OK, so I lied. But I had to chime in on Mr. Dave. He just performed at the biggest stand-up venue in the world, which is called Just For Laughs. It is Montreal, Canada and it goes on annually July 10-20th. From what I hear it is a blast to go to and the biggest up and coming comedians perform as well as has beens (See Dave Coulier). Check out this webpage for more on Dave: http://www.hahaha.com/festival/artist.aspx?id=72
Laura and I are thinking about going to the festival next year for vaca. Montreal is supposed to be a nice city as well. Lips, you're from Montreal...wanna go?
First of all, I was born in Rochester, NY (home of Kodak). My mom was the one born in Montreal.
Second, next July is so far into the future. We'll have to see...I'd rather go somewhere warm.
Montreal kicks ass. I went there to see Mike Watt and he rocked the muthafuckin house. If you're gonna visit, go in the summer. While you're there, make sure to get drunk off your ass, Canadian-style.
Dee-Nees vs Dah-Nahs was a gay idea. I can't believe we wasted so much time setting this crap up.
Why do I get the position of Catcher. Just because I'm fat, that doesn't allow you to put me in Catcher. I'm offended. That's weight discrimination. Better watch out or I'll sumo your ass and sit on you and fart in your face.
Who would win this epic battle?

Okay, IF we decide to go with the forums vs. the OG's (original gangsters/original dee-nee members) then this is our player pool so far. Keep in mind that each team needs to field 8 position players, 4 pitchers and 4 subs, totaling 16 players. If we can't get 16 for each team, then we shoud at least fill in the starters and starting pitcher and fill in the missing slots with the "legends of the game". If we need legends for subs, I demand that sullivan be recruited for the DAH NAH team. Also, maybe we should just make this a two team rom and that the player attributes are based on forum contributions.
