Simulating the World Series 2005 on RBI

[DamnTheCowboys]

I think for Game One, in order to be accurate, we'd have to do Boston vs. NL (Raines), with Clemens on the mound.   The thinking here is... as important as it is that an RBI team (Houston) is in the WS, I think that having one of the two actives participating in it precedes that importance.  Thus, go with Boston, which has to face a National League team to make it WS agreeable.   
In the games Clemens does not pitch, you obviously flip it to Houston vs. AL (Baines) and obviously plug Garner in the #3 hole in place of Walling.   This would allow Cruz and Garner to hit back to back for extra pop.

Why not just re-create the actual teams?

That would curropt the sanctity of the whole thing.  You have to go with the original RBI and work with what you have.

This makes no sense as much as anything thats made no sense has before.

Always love to see a post from Nails.  I need to see those more often.

Call me crazy, but this sentence makes a lot of sense. Seriously!

Im gonna simulate the 2005 World Series using Matt Jones and the  2003 Razorbacks  vs the New York Knickerbockers of '78.

Its the only way to be accurate.

Just a little update for you naysayers:

Last night before game 2, my bro and I simulated by playing Houston Vs. AL.

It was a close game throughout.   In the bottom of the ninth, with one out, Harold Baines hits a bloop single, and then Brett grounds into what should have been a DP, but the RBI gods would not let it happen.   The glich occured when they don't count the out at 2nd base, and Baines was safe.  Two outs, Baines on second, Molitor bloops one and Baines scores the game-winner to give the AL the win 4-3.

So we watch Game 2, knowing damn well what the outcome would be since the RBI gods already determined it.    Sure enough, in the 7th that phantom hit by pitch on Dye happens, eerily reminiscent of the Baines phantom safe call that kept the AL (Sox) in the game.    Konerko hits the homer to give Chicago the lead.

The White Sox could NOT have closed that game out 6-4 last night either, because it wouldn't have been a one run win.   So the RBI gods made sure that Jose fucking Vizciano gets a two out blooper to tie it.    It was also meant to be that this game was won on a walkoff hit of some kind, for it had happened earlier in RBI.

Thus, the game is extended to the bottom of the ninth.   

Podsednik promptly hits the game-winning homer to make it 7-6, a one run win won on the last at-bat of the game, JUST LIKE in the RBI game. 

My bro and I were watching Baines in the dugout the whole time and noticed how stern and serious he looked....he KNEW what was up the whole time.

Anyone else want to call the RBI simulation stupid?


That's what I thought, jackasses.   

[BeeJay]

I call RBI simulation stupid, just as I call Zorba and Mclane's lucky high lifes stupid, as well as any curse, hex, jinx or spell.

How does the AL give up 3 runs to Houston?

Also, way to post your results before the actual game...A regular Nostradamus I say.
