Armageddon

[ultimate7]

Armageddon as determined by RBI Watch:

Bad news for some, good news for others.  It looked bad for the good guys early on, God was simply outpitched by Satan and Hell played better team ball than Heaven, putting the ball in play, getting high pitch counts, as opposed to Heaven swing for the fences every pitch, but Heaven was scoring just enough to keep the game alive (20-11 after 2).  Heaven then cut it to 28-26 after 3 and now both starters were tired, but you knew God and Satan weren't going to take themselves out of the game yet so this meant 4th inning fireworks.  Hell put up 12 more
in the 4th so Heaven needed atleast 5 to keep the game going.  Home field came up big for Heaven as they were able to PH for the weak hitting God in the 4th, without the easy 9 hole out and with Satan struggling, it was trouble for Hell, Heaven got 20 including 2 PH HRs but
Noah struck out as the winning run (Not getting the job done again, just like the situation with the unicorns), so we went to the 5th, Heaven now in charge 48-40.  Abraham didn't fair much better than God, as Hell no able to use their PH in the top of the 5th got 15 to grab a 55-48 lead.  In the bottom of the 5th Lucifer struggled even worse throwing way too many "Normal" pitches, who knows what he was saving his good stuff for giving up 11 with only one out, but then getting 2 of the next 3 with a double in between to keep the game going.  In the top of the 6th a 2 out infield hit by weak hitting pitcher Lucifer allowed a 13 run inning to turn into a 20 run inning giving Hell a 68-55 lead.  In the bottom half Heaven got 21 and again Noah was the winning run at the plate with 2 out, but lined out to keep Hell alive, 76-78.  The 7th was due to be another inning of fatigued pitchers which meant we would see no 1-2-3 innings, even so Hell was only able to get 10 in the 7th and this looked like it was going to be their downfall, being that Heaven would use PHs in the bottom of the 7th.  It turned out to be true as Heaven got 12 including 2 HRs from Jobe off the bench.  Ending on a Walk off Home Run by Jesus Christ on, guess what, a curve ball for a 88-78 win.  So it has
been confirmed, Jesus Christ can hit a curve ball.

I might turn this into a 7 game series to give the 2-3-2 Home/Away format.

Note the time of the game, 63 minutes, I did not pause it ever.

Game 2 didn't go near as well for the guys in white, as Hell put up 40 runs in the 2nd, Pitcher Satan got 2 triples and a double himself before finally making the 2nd out in the inning

Series tied up 1-1

[BeefMaster]

This is awesome.  I may have to send the results to my mother-in-law, who takes the "Left Behind" series way too seriously.

[ultimate7]

What is the left behind series?  

EDIT:  Went to leftbehind.com it appears to be a series of books about the Apocolypse.

I think Games 3,4 and 5 in the underworld will be played on Friday

I think Games 3,4 and 5 in the underworld will be played on Friday

Did you actually edit the stadiums?  That would be cool to make a hellish RBI field.

[fknmclane]

This series may very well prove that evil will always triumph...because good is dumb.

[BeeJay]

Mclane's been on fire with the Spaceballs lines lately, and there's nothing wrong with that.

The Series moved to the Underworld for game 3 at Halliburton Stadium (previously Damned Field) with a full, raucous crowd and not one of them wearing white.  The Heavan fans no longer make this road trip after the incident during the '96 series.  Anyone who thinks Ron
Artest had it tough in Detroit can't fathom what God goes through warming up in that black hole between the right and left field bleachers.  Well the fans got what the wanted, they probably think their heckling got to God, as this game was a quick one.  Not being able to retire Satan with 2 outs kept the inning alive for Judas who ended the game on a 3 run shot, to win game 3 17-6 and take a 2-1 series lead.

[ultimate7]

Game 4 looked to be a turnaround for Heaven, starting the game with 6 HRs for the first 7 batters.  The got 16 in the top of the 1st on 11 HRs, unfortunately for Heaven, Hell's offense didn't slow down any getting 14 of their own to make it 16-14 after 1.  In the top of the 2nd 2 of Heaven's first 3 batters were retired on shots to 1B and Hell had a chance to get out of the inning giving up just 4 with 2 outs and God up, but an infield hit by God kept the inning alive for Heaven to pick up 6 more runs taking a 26-14 lead.  God turned his pitching around in the next 2 innings holding Hell to 5 and 6 runs, allowing the Holy Ones to put this one away in 3 innings 38-25 tying up the series 2-2 and assuring them that the series would return to Heaven.

Game 5 is the final game at Hell and Heaven will be happy to get out of the heat.  Speaking of heat, in a pregame interview, Jesus was asked if he could microwave a burrito so hot that even he himself could not eat it, Jesus told the reporter that he wasn't a big fan of burritos, apparently he is more of a bread and water type savior.  As for the game, Jesus started off on fire blasting a 1 out solo shot in the top of the 1st to start the scoring, but the rest of Heaven's lineup was off and they could only muster 4 in the inning which could mean a short game unless God can come through on the mound.  God was up to the task holding Hell to just 5 in the bottom half.  Could we be looking at a pitchers duel?  Not too likely.  Jesus cooled off in the 2nd as Satan struck out Him and the Holy Spirit back to back, though God did come through with a hit earlier in the inning so Satan wasn't able to take out the Trinity, but Heaven only got 5 in the 2nd to take a 9-5 lead.  God looked to be
getting out of the 2nd fairly easily having given up 5 before striking out Dr. Evil for the 2nd out in the inning, he gave up a hit to Satan to keep the inning alive for the real
hitters.  Hell was able to turn that into 9 more runs and that's all she wrote, as Hell took game 5 19-9.  They will now only need to win 1 of 2 back in Heaven to take the series.

Thank you for making my day.... I am really anxious to see the out come.....

If it goes to game seven i think we need to find a way to let a bunch of us watch it online......  any ideas??

[ultimate7]

Game 6 brings the series back to Heaven and it is a must win game for the home team and they seemed to sense the importance, getting 11 to the plate in the bottom of the 1st before the first out was recorded and getting 14 in the inning, again let down by Noah who was the winning run at the plate, but grounding out to 2B, before God lined out softly to end the inning with a 14-6 lead.  Hell got 10 in the top of the 2nd, but Satan simply didn't have the same adreneline he had in Hell.  He was clearly tired out by the start of the 2nd inning, and retired no one in the bottom of the 2nd as Lazarus drove hit a walk off HR for the 27-16 Heaven win (note both runs were able to score in time on the homerun).  God's simple pre game speech worked as, we heard, as they walked out of the clubhouse a shout of, "Get er Done".  Heaven has forced the ultimate Game 7.

Game 7 will happen, I guess I could play the game over the Dee-Nee.com, that way anyone else with the ROM could watch.

[Darky]

I am fuckin pumped for game 7. The Dark Side will be in attendance.

[ultimate7]

Does anyone besides Briz and DSide want to see the game?  I think the most that can watch is 4, so that would leave me and 3 others (Nightwulf/Gantry can you confirm the 4).  If there is a lot more response I guess maybe I can try to figure out how to record the game or if no one really cares to see it that much, I will just play it and post the result.

If I do play it live for others to watch via internet, then I'll probably play the game tomorrow at a convenient time for me and others.  Either 10:15, 12:30ish or 3:15ish CST.  Night would be difficult since I only have dial up at home.
