A winner is Baines (NOLAN RYAN HR BITCH!!!)

[Baines]

Today we moved the arcade game from Portsmouth to my house.  Please bear with me as an ungodly amount of alcohol was consumed today and as I type I'm taking down beeer # somewhere between 20 and 24. 

Anyway, the alcohol was flowing early and ofthen in the Baines household beginning around noon until we hit the putt putt course where I brought home the green jacket (pics will follow).   Just for some background we play drunken puttputt quite often and I recently found a quality Massters-like green jacket at goodwill.  We have a few events which we call majors and the winner gets to keep the jacket.  Yeah it sounds stupid but it also seems like the kind of event that would go over well in the deenee community.  The next approxinmately 10 hours were a drunken blur of booze./football/waterpark/BBQ. 

A grezat day all around but the reason why this becomes worthy of its own thrread is when Sal_Bando and I decided to get in some games in o n the new arcade game.  I had some phenomenal games but that's neither here nor there.  My greatest RBI accomplishment EVER came in the only game i lost, an 11-5 defeat of the astros by the Sox with three of the 5 runs coming on a THREE RUN WALLZIE FROM NOLAN RYAN!!! 

Part of the reason i lost the game is that i left him in to pitch the entire game even when he was bringing the 40mph heat but seriously how the fuck to you sub for a pitcher who just hit a homerun.??  At that point I just wanted to get the game over so I could call people.  I wanted to dial up some deenee members but it waws getting pretty late.  The best thing of all is that the controols are a little unreliable on my arcade game and I actually wanted to send a bunt down the 3B line but got a full swing.

I would jusl like to close by saying that i realize that this is a drunken incoherent post but i wouldnmt want my first and only pitcher houmerun post to be any other way.  I'm wearing my green jacket to bed bitch!!!!!

You should have hit it over the wall

[Bonny]

Nolan is a badass.

[ultimate7]

There will still be someone that doesn't believe.

Nice work, Baines, you can always say you hit is for Bainesby.

[BDawk]

If Baines said it happened, then it happened. He's one of the most honorable people I've never met.

Way to go Baines!  I knew it was possible.  Hope that green jacket is comfy.

[malnuboy]

The Green Jacket thing is the best part of the post, I can just imagine some family going to play some putt putt and then seeing some make shift jacket presentation going on in the parking lot.

It's been a great month on dee-nee, but on the last day of July Baines gets the official Post of the Month award...

[BeefMaster]

Awesome, Baines.  You are an inspiration to all of us.  I look forward to the green jacket pics.

Is the first arcade pitcher HR we've heard about?  I seem to recall all the previous claims being on the NES version.

[Gantry]

I don't ever remember an arcade pitcher homer discussed.  Baines might have done something no other dee-nee member has done before....

Dear Baines,

We democratically decided that pitcher HR's are impossible.  Please do not attempt to deconstruct our reality.  You are obviously a liar, or a cheater.  Or both.  Perhaps your homerun was a hallucination, or you were using a different batter and simply weren't able to read the name of the batter.  Further, this being the arcade version, so perhaps this can further explain this impossibility.

Consider this a warning, Baines.  We do not tolerate lies.  The same goes for ultimate.  From now on, anyone spreading false rumors about these alleged "pitcher homeruns" shall be subject to inspection.  It is for your own good, and the good of Dee-Nee.

This is creepy.  Like "Ministry of Truth" creepy.

[BeeJay]

Baines has no alliances.  He can't be trusted.




He's also a lush posting at 3 am about pitcher homers.  Did it really happen?  Only Baines will ever know.

[BDawk]

You might have a point. He was so drunk, he probably meant to say Ryan Sandberg hit a HR, not Nolan Ryan.

Baines+Beer+Pitcher Walzie = Unprecedented

I believe a precedent has been set for Baines+Beer

Glad you picked up on that.

This is because he has no alliances.

Bump...

Did you ever get around to posting the Green Jacket pics?

[Baines]

I failed to mention that said pictures were taken on a shitty disposable camera since we didn't have a digital with us.  Therefore I'll have to finish off the roll and get them developed.  If nothing else I'll just snap a bunch of pics? the next time I'm drunk so I can get them up on here.
