Straight Pitch League Week 4 Results

[RedBarron]

The first series of week 4 is in and this series was one fucked up set of games.

Game one saw Noah G take advantage of a lag filled inning that saw the Hoggs play more like the Bad News bears on LSD than a Tengen league team.

When the dust had settled, the Hoggs had committed what seemed like eleventy billion BOPS and 14 dozen throwing erros and  Noah was out to a 6 run lead (or so) and the Hoggs morale was shattered.

Hendrick his a bomb for the NoahG's and Sandberg --- yes, Ryne mother fucking Sandberg hit a homer for the Hoggs.  Johnny one nut went yard as well.

Final Score:    Noah Gs  9    Hoggs 4

Homers:  Hendrick, Sandberg, Kruk


Game 2:


The Hoggs come out swinging with a 1st inning Bomb by Raines and Dawson.  NoahG followed suit  with a mammoth blast from Wally "Absorbine" Joyner.

The Hogg bats came to life in this game, ending up with a grand total of 7 dingers --- highlighted by a potatoes-esque 3 homers from Rock Raines.

Sutcliffe did his job for 3 innings, giving way to the rest of the staff.  'Nando shut down the Noah Gs in the late innings to preserve a 9-4 victory for the Hoggs.


Final Score 9-4 Hoggs
Homers:  Joyner, Raines (3), Dawson, Carter, Murphy, Dw Evans


Game 3:  Rubber Match (Trojans?)


This was a tight one to the end.  Noah G starts off the game with a gargantuan blast off the bat of Gary "the rat" gaetti.  The 1 run lead held for a few innings when a strategic move by the Hogg Manager, The RedBaron, paid off.  In the top of the 3rd inning, with a man on and 2 outs, Baron took out ass sucking knuckle dragging Harold Baines for little used Chris Spier.  Spier unloaded on a Mike Witt pitch and gave the Hoggs the lead.

The following inning George Bell hit one that hasn't fucking landed yet.  2-2 tie.

Things progress a few innings as Franco is brought into the game for the Hoggs.  With 1 out and a runner on 2b, Franco loses is fucking mind and throws a curve to Rob Wilfong.  Wilfong K's and a brawl to end all brawls ensues.  NoahG runs out of the dugout and begins screaming to RedBaron "I'll fuckin' kill you!   I will fucking kill you you bastard."   Franco and Wilfong are found at the mound beating the dog shit out of each other.  When the dust settled, cooler heads prevailed and NoahG decided that the Hoggs 7 hitter, Gary Carter would have to K when his next turn came up.

After some timely hitting by Coleman and company, the NoahGs built a 7-3 lead going into the top of the 9th.

All hope was lost as gary carter stepped to the plate.  This time he didn't have to K --- he blasted one over the wall for a homer.  Next up is clutch-o-matic Chris Spier.  What does he do?  No shit --- he homers again.  7-5 and the Hoggs are back in business.

'Nando gets out and that brings up raines.  Raines was a bag of ass this game and continued his assiness with a weak grounder to 2b.  Ray Knight was subbed for Johnny one nut and after smashing a foul bal 1,394 feet, knight hit a liner to 3b and that was the ball game.


Final score NoahGs 7  Hoggs 5

Homers:  Gaetti, Bell, Hendrick, Spier 2, Dw Evans, Carter


This puts the NoahGs in the driver's seat for one of the 4 play off spots.

The Hoggs will need a couple of league members to catch a nasty case of VD for their play off hopes to amount to anything.

Too bad MikeD and rdub aren't playing.

I still have to play JoeDirt, Noah, AND Gantry.  I wouldn't put money on me ending the season strong!

Better get Brenley back on the cream / clear.  Keep in mind, testing is on thursdays.  If he juices from Thursday night thru tuesday afternoon, the stuff will be out of his system.

Screw it.  He is just going to sniff 10 lines of coke before the game instead.  They don't test for that shit.

It worked for Rock Raines.  He snorted 2 lines prior to game 2 against NoahG.  He proceeded to smash 3 homers.

He came down off his high in game 3 and played like a bucket of gorilla spit.

JoeDirt and I completed our week 4 games.  Let me first say the Nolan Ryan, and all of JoeDirts pitching staff is filthy. The brooms were out tonight.  Nails is now 0-12, baby! while JoeDirt improves to 11-1, further increasing his 1st place lead.   Here's the game results:

Game 1 - JoeDirt 4, Nails 3 - 9 innings
JoeDirt HRs:  Hrbek, Puckett (walkoff)
Nails HRs: Gibson, Henderson(2)

Game 2 - JoeDirt 5, Nails 2 - 9 innings
JoeDirt HRs:  Boggs, Guerrero, McGwire
Nails HRs: Gibson

Game 3 - JoeDirt 5, Nails 2 - 9 innings
JoeDirt HRs:  Guerrero, Mattingly
Nails HRs: Whitaker, Herr

Great games all around.

[Nails]

Hopefully all that info is correct.  Shout if I booted it, Joe.

[JoeDirt]

yeah, that's right.  i have no idea how nails is 0-12...he's definitely better than ryno.

The Thundercats finally returned to Tengen Field, after more than a 3-week layoff.  Their GM was starting to question if they would even be able to hit the damn ball.  So before Game 1 of the series, The Thundercats decided to have batting practice for all the eager fans.  Problem was...they didn't hit a single homer against the computer in a couple 1-inning simulations.

Onto their real challenge...

Standing in their way, were the Poopybutts.  Coming off of The Poopybutts' 2-0 beating of Parish State, they looked to continue their winning ways.

The Thundercats opened up very strong.  They came out with 3 multi-RBI dingers in the first with Leonard (3 RBIs), Jones (2 RBIs), and Bergman (3 RBIs) all connecting...to take an 8-0 lead after 1.

The Poopybutts chopped away at the lead, little by little.  But alas, The Poopybutts didn't have enough; Clemens and Berenguer held down the fort while the hitters went back to their batting practice ways...

The Thundercats won 8-5, to take a (1-0) lead in the series.

The Homers...

The Poopybutts:
Spilman 2
Strawberry 1
Nokes 1

The Thundercats:
Leonard 1
Jones 1
Bergman 1

Game 2 to follow shortly...

[Lips]

After the Game 1 victory, The Thundercats' weren't really looking forward to Game 2.  Their offense just wasn't cutting it.  They hoped to improve.

The Poppybutts came out strong though, scoring 3 runs (I believe) in the first inning.  This game was pretty much a role-reversal of Game 1.  The Thundercats were constantly playing catch-up.

The 3-4-5 hitters for the Poopybutts were a force, totaling 7 homers and 8 RBIs.

The Thundercats had their chances late, but in the 7th inning, a mistake of keeping Berenguer in a couple batters too many...cost The Thundercats two runs.

Although The Thundercats got to within 1, in the 9th...they couldn't get over the hump.

The Poopybutts won 10-9, and tied the series (1-1).

The Homers...

The Poopybutts:
Spilman 1
Strawberry 3
Canseco 2
Nokes 2

The Thundercats:
Leonard 1
Jones 1
Jackson 2
Schofield 1
Pendleton 1
Gedman 1
Bergman 1

Game 3 to follow shortly...

El Matcho del Ruber

Game 3 had the making to be another Game 2.  The Poopybutts came out and held their ground again...opening up with an early lead.  And again, The Thundercats were forced to play the role of Catch-Up Bitches.

All the stats pointed in favor of The Poopybutts.  The Poopybutts connected on 7 homers for 7 RBIs, while The Thundercats only connected on a total of 3 solo homers..one being an opposite-field line-drive shot by Potatoes.

And then there was the bottom of the 8th inning.  Small ball central.  One of the ugliest, if not the ugliest half-inning that I have ever been part of.  The Thundercats found themselves down 7-4, but not out.  What took place during that inning was just unbelievably good for The Thundercats and of course unbelievably bad for The Poopybutts.  The Thundercats mustered 5 runs off of Bunyans, opposite field singles, bops, and flat-out good luck.

I could only imagine what Gantry was saying to the game/monitor, while all that was taking place.  I, for one, was smiling devilishly...

Ok, back to the game.  With The Thundercats up 9-7, going into the 9th...The Poopybutts didn't have much left in the tank to field a comeback, plus they were forced to bat with their pitcher.  The score held up...

The Thundercats won 9-7, and won the series (2-1).

The Homers...

The Poopybutts:
Spilman 1
Clark 1
Strawberry 1
Canseco 2
Nokes 1
Morris 1

The Thundercats:
Jones 1
Rice 1
Jackson 1

Alright Baines,

You and I are up.  I can go any night this week.  Send me a PM

[Nails]

yeah, that's right. i have no idea how nails is 0-12...he's definitely better than ryno.

That's only because Ryno is dead.  Anybody can beat a dead guy. 

[Gantry]

A truly demoralizing loss in the last game, it was tough to swallow.  I didn't think the walkoff opposite-field pitcher hit Noah got off me could be topped, but that game did it.  Every good pitch resulted in something bad, be it BOP of weak opposite field grounders through the hole...

I'm gonna have to make very few mistakes from here on out if I have any chance for the playoffs...

[Baines]

Baines in on the fucking board.  No more 0- the season.

I'll try to give the details as well as possible.  The writeups will be hindered by the fact that I didn;'t write down Stock's numbers and I am fucked of Old Style.

Game 1:

Stock 14
Baines 8

Baines HR's Eric Davis, Donnie (elgin) Baylor, GDavis 2, Chet Lemonparty

I don't remember much of this game.


Game 2:

Baines 9
Stock  5

Baines HR's: GDavis (GS), Donnie fuckin baylor, Chet Lemonparty

Baines takes an early lead with a GDavis grand slam in the first and takes an 8-0 lead after 4 more includoing a Baylor 3 run dinger in the 2nd.  The rest looked like a game of MVP.


Game 3:

Fuckit I didn't write this one down.  I know I lost though. 

Homers came from Glenn fuckin Davis (2), Chet Lemonparty (2), Madlock, Brett and Eric Davis

[Baines]

this Baines victory has been brought to yo by:

[Baines]

And geena davis, the greatest player in the history of RBI.  Long live Houston.

[Stock]

Game 2 sucked man.  The first inning I had 2 fielding f-ups to load the bases for a Gena Granny Slam.  Again more fielding mistakes in the second inning setting up a Baylor 3-run shot.
No Bops, just fuck-ups.  I am going to blame it on a day of drinking.  I was fine after the first two innings but it was too late.
Also, Baines threw out DaEvns 3 times from right field in the 3-game series.

....I hate Gena!!
