Great Games

[Gwynn3k]

baserunning cost me a game last night....   i had viola on first after a leadoff single.  one out later, the rat hit a ball down the line...  i tried to get viola to third instead of being happy with first and second and kirby up...   long story short, pitcher thrown out in a run down, so i was stuck with the rat at first with two outs.  kirby gets a hit but hrbek lines out to right to end the inning and any chance of a win for gwynn.

A couple of my buddies had a great game today thought I would share it:

Guzman(Ca) 454 270 630     31
Smith    (Dt)  412 441 808     32

Here's some stats:
16 homers for Cali, 21 for Detroit,  Gibby 5 Hr's and Walk-off Grand Slam, Rup 4 hr's, Meat and Potatoes each had 4 homers.  Obviously a straight pitch game.

sounds like one for the ages... you guys should keep track of those stats and make some sort of season... you dont have much else to do down there...

the winner gets a grilled steak burrito or something.

Exaclty my friend, you have our whole day allready planned.

[Gwynn3k]

glad to see you guys are staying productive.    out here, i won a rare close game against my little brother.  he was detroit and i had the AL stars...  the die is giving me great teams lately...  now that school is over, i have more time and i am anxious to defend my belt.

My greatest game ever.....

My roommate and I were playing drinking rules.  Now, we do drinking rules different from you guys.  It's basically the same premise, except for the fact that back to back homers result in your opponent drinking twice as much as he should.  For example, a homerun in our drinking rules is worth 4 drinks, but if you hit a homerun right after another, that homerun would be 8 drinks.  Understand?  

SO we were playing slow pitch, boston vs. detriot, and his reliever was ab-so-lutely shot.  it was like the bottom of the eighth and I had something like armas,  rice, evans, gedman, henderson up--just a murderers row.  So i go yard with 5 straight players, and he has to finish off the beer he just opened, plus had to shotgun four beers in a row.  He's not exactly a huge drinker, so he was royally fucked up after that.  Needless to say I won the next two games also, and he suffered mightly that night.  

[Gwynn3k]

i am no math major but if you hit 5 bombs in a row, that would be 64 drinks... i must say your friend was probably paid homage to the porcelain god that night.

[pedriqrules]

yes, he was gone.  He has paid me back many a times since then, though.

One classic game I can remember was me against my cousin, he was houston and I was st louis.  We took a 0-0 score into the botton of the 15th inning when my cousin misplays an Ozzie Smith pop-up to center resulting in a walk off inside the park home run.

[Gwynn3k]

thats a shitty way to end a great game...  your centerfielder must have lost the ball in the sun.  oh, thats right, they only play night games...  

[Dill]

I think that was a great way to end a game.  That would really piss off the loser, and isn't that the point in playing RBI, to piss off the losing player as much as possible?  We've had a walk off Ozzie homer before, but an inside the parker would be cool.

I was St. Louis, against either American or National, I don't quite remember, but I DO remember I was down almost 10 runs. I think they had 10 & I had 1 or 2. There were 2 outs in the top of the 9th, so I thought, oh shit, I'm done. Willie McGee gets me a hit, so it's like, ok I still have a chance. Well, the next 8 guys after McGee all get hits, and I tie the game up at 10 (or whatever they had). McGee comes up again, and gets me the game winning hit, and I held them off in the bottom of the 9th & win by one run. It was pretty amazing at the time, would have been more amazing had I done it with Houston.

Playing my arch nemesis here in dodge, he had AL, and I had NY. 

He took a 4 run lead....either 4-0 OR 5-1 in the top of the 7th.  I claw back into getting the bases loaded and have to sub in Mazzilli.  He had a reliever that was starting to show some wear and tear.  Mazzilli goes yard to center for the grandslam to tie things up.  A few inning later I get the win.  That was in our massive day long 4 or 5 man tourney days.  Huge win.

Using Boston and facing that same guy he had Detroit.  Hendu gives me a early grandslam that just barely goes out  to stake me out to a 4-0 lead in the 2nd or 3rd inning.  from there its a struggle and strain to try and hold on.  A solo shot here, and there...and in the 9th Evans goes yard with a couple on to take an insurmountable 6-4 lead.  Game over.

St. Louis vs. Houston, 21 innings, back when we were first playing

Nolan was perfect through 9, lasted 12 innings. Walkoff inside the park homer from coleman on the overthrow.

Those stl/hou extra inning games are always a shit ton of fun.

the st/ho matchup rivals the wash/minn matchup in tecmo. still one of my favorites.

Its been a while since we've had a WSH/MIN game.
The WSH defense is so tough that they pretty much match-up with anyone.  6 straight shutouts with those fools is a big feather in my cap.
