12-16 Tourney results thread.

[TbT]

AL wins game 1  3-1.  Tough defeat to take there, as i was unable to come back late.

[TbT]

a couple hernandez bombs ties the series at a game a piece as Ny wins 6-4. 

[TbT]

lost game 3, 2-1.  tough loss to take.  if there is a hell, it is most defiantely endless hours of AL vs NY in RBI.

[TbT]

game 4...i toss a no hitter and prevail 2-0.  1 final game between chad and i to decide this thing. 

[TbT]

fuck i get killed in game 5 and lose 5-1. i surrender 5 solo shots.  3 homers in a row to bell, canseco, andripken.  just demoralizing.  we played 9 straight NY/AL games.  i now hate those teams.

a runner up is me.

[TbT]

im exhausted at the moment.  i did my best with NY, but trying to win 6 games out of a possible 10 vs the AL with a decent opponent proved to be just a little too much for me.

Theres talk we do this again late february, or early march.  overall things went fairly smoothly.  However having jeff lose out as fast as possible created a few problems with geting the right match-ups with4 guys and 2 TV's to play non stop and have all participants playing.  some had to wait for a game or series to be resolved before it was thier turn again which slowed things down.

Looks like TBT has gotten some good comp near his neck of the woods lately, eh?

[Darky]

Tough break TBT, but there is only room for one at the top. Do better next time and make us proud dammit.
AL has a tough lineup, but nothing of the superfreak nature.

[TbT]

this is still biting my ass that i didnt win this tourney.  oh well.  having HOU in the top half that AL came out of hurt my chances. 

I didnt get a shot at them early on in which i mighta been able to knock em out to the losers bracket.  nate could not do shit vs them(AL) in 3 series with SF and CAL.  After i took NY from the losers bracket into the championship round and won the 1st series 3-1 i thought i might have the AL figured out.  but NY is so damn tought to score runs with.  Its a game long process of manufacturing runs.  Chad had a good strategy though as he went after a lot of the Ny hitters since they have low power numbers. made the whole taking pitches game a moot point, cuase i was continually taking strikes, and not realy helping my cause of trying to wear out his pitchers.

considering what i did with NY if i had a 2nd team other than HOU i believe that i could have taken this tourney.  i need to get me that same teams cart that i forgot about and then we can do away with HOU/STL in these tourneys.

if there is a hell, it is most defiantely endless hours of AL vs NY in RBI.

this tourney was one hell of day.  completely rigorous and grueling.  9 straight NY vs AL games to decide the tourney made me want to claw out my eyes and stab my testicles with an ice pick.
