Vote. Please.

I voted for the side game thingy, but I really would expect to do what ever MikeD and rdub want to do.

Maybe a tourney, but not for big bucks, so everyone, good or bad can get in.

I like the idea of a low cost str8 pitch (batting practice) tourney.  Str8 pitch is kind of like playing "last pocket" in pool.  Everyone has a chance to win.  You could even decide teams by pulling out of a hat b4 every game.  This way, anyone could feel like they have a chance to win.

yeah, but if you pull HOU out and the other guy pulls out DET in a straigh pitch game, you know your done before it even starts. seriously, there would be no point to playing.

In a related note, I think we should just have a BOS/DET tournety. you pick out of a hat before each game, but the only two choices are det or bos for straight pitch. that would be fun, and games would be long.

Either way that is fine.
Or every person gets to pick their top 5 teams and pick one of them from a hat.
Not sure it really matters in str8 pitch.  Believe it or not, I have played w/ detroit where they have been ice cold, and have played games where I have put up 20+ runs with houston.  I just think it would be cool (casual) tourney that would come down to half luck and half skill.

Doesn't the dee-nee household have any smaller bars nearby.  I don't need to go to huge clubs downtown.  Especially since I will be married, I will be focused more on the booze than the bitches (especially with all you camera guys around  :)  ).

I voted for the tourney, but completely understand why we wouldn't do it.  It's tough to keep a schedule when you have games and loser bracket game, especially when you get to best of 5/7 territory. 

But it pains me to not do a tourney.  Maybe a ghetto tourney before the bar would be most excellent.  Best of three series (or even one) with some funky ass rules.  Like you pick out of a hat curve/straight/slurve then teams are random and a coin flip for "sub your opponents players" or something like that.  Makes everything random and you don't know what the hell is going on people will be playing teams/styles/subs that they have never seen before...

Another downside though is that a tourney means we'll get no fun Dee-Nee'ers who are more focused on RBI and not big drinkers.  These guys keep the site alive at times and it's good to have a group who aren't sloppy drunks and still want to meet and hang out...

If we do my house, there is a bar called the Old Munich in the same town.   It's a complete dive, comprised of the same ten regulars, very little lighting, cubs game always on and cheap drinks.  It's a slice of heaven in the middle of surburban hell.  I'm typically the youngest guy by 20 years though, so if people are looking to socialize with others, it's probably not the place...

this pretty much describes me and edavis fan, as well as a few others, i'm sure.  no drinky, no booby for me.  but i love baseball and RBI, and i love my dee-nee'rs in a platonic way.  it would be great to meet everybody if i coud afford it.

Yeah, I definitely don't want to make this a drunk-only fest.  Many of the RBI fans who don't drink would be more inclined to the tourney.  The casual and non-drinkers like vit, Teddy, wumpst, edfan, Riley, Dirt, (though judging from the booze collection at his house, Dirt may be a closet drunk) Gerlost etc would make a nice core group for a tourney or a group of events that doesn't involve talking to drunks all day...

...and you would have built-in designated drivers.

An excellent point.  I think it would be most enjoyable for all involved if we got a complete cross-section of dee-nee coming to the gathering...

I definitely fall into this category as well

OK Maybe

Quoteno booby

This, I just don't understand.

i'm married, what else is there to say?

I'm honestly not a big strip club/hooker guy myself.  Been twice and didn't really enjoy myself that much either time, especially with the drink prices.  I prefer to ogle girls when they aren't watching.  So no matter what the drunk/sober ratio is, there will be a non-booby contingent at any chicago gathering...

I drive and do not drink. My car holds 6. Whos driving with me?

I drink and I drive, not necessarily at the same time. My car can hold 6-7. the trunk can hold another 2, or one miked.

How many dead hookers can it hold?

It can hold more dead hookers if you chop them up.

And even more if you eat some of the chopped up parts.

I say the tourney style is fine, it didn't take anything away from this weekend plus I would actually like the hard core tourney guys to show up as well.

The key is as many TV's and Nintendos going as possible, this way we can knock off the rounds quickly and then get to the madness. More people need to be playing at the same time.

The dee-nee house currently has three NESes and 3 TVs.  We'd do 3-4 games at once if it were here, that would makes things go quicker...

Yet another pro for Chicago.  It seems that enough people live close enought to Chicago (driving distance) that 2-3 more TVs/NES's could be brought in as well.
Maybe, we could start a poll to see who 1. would or 2. would not be able to do the chicago rout. 

if theres 4 tv's then thats probably ok.......with a  16 man tourney/double elimination, you could eliminate 4 within about 3 hours tops, then a few more the following hour.  things would go pretty quick, and maybe even eliminate any of that best of 5 stuff, just best of 3.

Dirt, (though judging from the booze collection at his house, Dirt may be a closet drunk)

You ever see just how cheap booze is in the Carribean?  That explains it all, my friend, that explains it all...

You ever see just how cheap a 10 year-old boy is in the Carribean? That explains it all, my friend, that explains it all...

I did notice the SoCo bottle on the rack...

It was a most eerie sight - I'm at THE JoeDirt's house, watching RBI, having a blast and I'm not going home until tomorrow.  He offered me beer, I declined...

What? Never stop drinking until you've puked or pass out.

He will fucking kill you...

That picture is great in so many ways.

Also, I'm down for whatever, just like Ice Cube.  I just want to meet some of you fkrs.  Also, I'll probably be drinking at whatever event happens because I have an alcohol problem.

I'm open for anything really.  Of course I plan on binge drinking beginning around 10am everyday but don't want the non/light drinkers to feel alienated.  I enjoyed hanging out with all those guys too and I definitely like the idea of DD's better than $20 cab rides each way.

Baines, right on, I prefer DD breasts too!!

I forgot. A friend of mine makes this great lithuanian liquor called Krupnykas. If you like cinnamon, you'll love this. its 120 proof approximately. Next year. You will all drink it and all love it and all puke.

We should have something in the winter too. 

I would DEFINITELY be willing to do this twice a year, but I'm not in charge of both.  If someone wants to start a winter gathering, I'm all for it.  Someone start listing ideas on the other thread or start a new one...

I don't think I can wait another year to see my Internet friends again...especially since I had to retire early this go-round.

Would somewhere in Southern Calfornia be a possibility for a Winter meeting/tourney? Teddyballgame and I have been kicking the idea around, and if there's interest in it we can pursue it further.

Lots of things to do (obivously) around here, and it's sunny 365 days a year (lie, but pretty close).

This quote from rdub fucking had me rolling at the tourney...I wasn't at the golf course when it was first spoken, but it was still funny hearing it second hand.

It was especially hilarious because even RDub had no idea what the hell he meant.  I asked him what that means, and he says "I have no idea, but it's why I like him."  Makes sense.

I also liked the "Curt Flood...officially kills me."  MikeD and rdub were on top of their internet joke game for the entire C-Bus weekend.

c-bus = canibus?

C-BUS = Can-Bangers Universal Society

Everything spoken in Columbus was extremely funny...and the wife felt the same way.  Except for the "fucking horse guts" conversation during one of the tourney games...I got a few "why do they talk about fucking guts" and "why do they talk about fucking animals" questions.  All in all, a couple reasonable questions...except for the fact that fucking horse guts is extremely funny.

Jeanne has potential, but needs to be steered down the proper path.  I'm sure Flood will have her adequately prepped by 2006...

twice a year??!!! I don't know about you guys, but I don't have money trees growing in my backyard.

i shit you not, the people of  central america (our church did a mission to one of the countries) think that America is "heaven" and everyone has money growing on trees.

You dont have to go to both.

I don't?

Nope, its not required. Check the rulebook.

Its in the by-laws.

Then Im screwed. I can only make it once a year.

I find it funny that someone who did a mission (unless you didn't go with them) doesn't even know what country he went to.

I didn't go.  The country was Belize.  My mind went blank as I typed that message.
