PBR --- the official Beer of Lemon Parties the world over!

[Darky]

FYI--- when I do recaps for the games, I usually mention the stadium/park and location of the home team. Feel free to name your stadium and location otherwise I'll find one for you. Every team has 11 home games.

Here is the list from last year.

Galactic Empire - Imperial Center Stadium
Sally Cunts - Bill Belichick Stadium
Fighting Ulrachers - Soldier Field
Pabst Blue Ribbons - Razorback Stadium
Badasses - Dock Ellis Magical Mushroom Park in Oklahoma City
Fighting Artichokes - Fort Dodge Park
OC/Beef -  Santa Maria Park...and Beef---Sioux Falls Stadium with a couple of games at Hal Schroeder Field
Rebel Alliance - Madison Park
Turd - ?
Poopydicks - Sun Devil Stadium? (sorry Gantry, Soldier Field is taken)

[Nacho]

The Sally Cunts will no longer play at Bill Belichick Stadium.  I am putting my foot down.

Give us Pink Triangle Field.

[Turd]

I'll take "Quinlan Park."

Named after the ultimate wearer of Banana Hammocks, Todd "The Todd" Quinlan from "Scrubs."

[fknmclane]

Please change the Poopydicks home venue to The Turd Bowl.

i don't think there's any "santa maria stadium"  can we do sinsheimer field instead?  or cal poly San Luis Obispo plays on campus at baggett stadium, if you rather.

hahaha...I know. I just made up the Santa Maria Park name. It was beautiful with how it was overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Sinsheimer Field it is for half of your home games. The other half will be in Sioux Falls.


And everybody else's stadium names is noted and will be used....though I would really like to see Bill Belichick remain. Maybe MikeD will have a say in this hahaha. Pink Triangle Field it will be Nacho---in Minneapolis---unless MikeD throws his weight around---no pun intended.

I ran a best of 5 vs the Sally Cunts. Cunts won at home in a rout, Badasses won at home, Cunts won at home in a rout, Badasses won at home, then we came down to the final game (see below).

It was a crazy one. My bullpen sucked. I challenged Ripken and Knight in the 7th inning to determine whethere I'd switch them in the lineup. Over the next 3 innings, they produced almost exactly the same (Ripken homered, Knight homered, Ripken popped out, Knight popped out, Ripken RBI double, Knight RBI double). For now, Ripken maintains his batting order position, but he is officially on notice should he fail to produce compared to Knight.

I like Gedman at the top of the lineup. Some power at the top of the lineup, gets on base a solid amount, and his slow speed is minimized because he's probably not having many people on base ahead of him, and Jones behind him can hopefully beat out some double plays

Interesting and thanks for sharing a recap. Ripken jinxes any team he is on for some reason---ask Ryno. He made the last out for the Sally Cunts in the epic FRBI V WS game 7 in extra innings when we won by one run.

Also, are you using the same stadium and location this year?

And it is a smart move to have a power hitter in the leadoff spot----he'll hit in the pitcher if the pitcher gets on and keeps the inning going----that way the pitcher's lack of speed on the bases is minimized in that way instead of having a contact hitter with no power get a hit and expose the pitcher's lack of speed on the base paths---though if the number 8 hitter is on the bases and has good speed than it's cool, but it is good to have somebody strong enough to drive em in from the bottom of the order with one swing.

Personally, I don't adhere to that. I like having speed at the top of the lineup (but with HR pop) and bunching my speedsters together to cause havoc---maximizes their strengths imo. Putting together a lineup that synchronizes together and gets maximum production is critical.

And a week 1 matchup----El Torro cruised until he just got to tired---but we held on to win with a Buckner pinch hit walkoff.

[Re-Peat]

I think we're going to play at Porkins Memorial Stadium.

Miss ya big fella...

[Mike D.]

Give us Pink Triangle Field.

I think we should play at Swayze Memorial Park at the Double Deuce.  Kind of like The Ballpark at Arlington.

[Mike D.]

Just simmed a rematch against the Fighting Urlachers.  Cunts win in a rout, 19-9 6 innings.  Murphy with a grand slam, K Mitch with a 3 run jack, Dewey with a 3 run homer, and Rock Raines with a 2 run homer.  Lots of production from Pendleton and Kruk.

[Darky]

Stadium noted RePeat.

MikeD and Nacho, I think we gotta go with Swayze Memorial Park due to Swayze's mystique with Dee Nee.


One day until Opening Day!

[Nacho]

I object to the Swayze Memorial Park naming.  Counter-proposal pending.

[Nacho]

Given that the games will be played in Minnapolis, Prince's hometown, I would like to name our stadium:

Field

[Mike D.]

Fail.

How about we play at the Vladimir Reagan Freedom Gulag?

[BDawk]

Peace Mongering Hippie Field?

[Nacho]

Fail.

How about we play at the Vladimir Reagan Freedom Gulag?

Make it the Fidel Reagan Freedom Gulag and you've got a deal.

[Mike D.]

Sounds good to me.
