Wow.

Costly error there.

[fightonusc]

I think the runs would have scored on the final hit anyway (that's at least a double), but you can't have BOPs like that come up in a situation like that.

[BeefMaster]

That was a damn good game.

[RedBarron]

damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Nice comeback by both teams.


The bop killed me.   Fuck whoever plays RF for me.  I bet it's Jacques Jones.

[ultimate7]

I was afraid the baserunner would have gotten doubled up at home attempting to score on the SF had the ball been caught, but I'm not sure who was on 3rd at the time, the Nimrods almost blew another one.

Karl Ravech: Welcome to another addition of RBI Baseball Tonight. Joining me as always are Harold Reynolds and Peter Gammons. Well, it seemed like the only question going into the South Arkansas Penis vs. Nimrods game on Wednesday was how long it would last. The Penis were without a loss; the Nimrods were without a win. Little did we know just how exciting this game would be.

Both teams would trade runs in the first inning, and the Penis would pull ahead with two more runs in the top of the second. But in the home half, The Nimrods would respond. Singles by Speier and Ripken would bring Vince Coleman up to the plate.


Harold Reynolds: He's been slumping all season, so of course the best you're going to get out of him is a productive out.


KR: Or how about a three-run homer just over the right field wall! It barely made it, but it counts! In the luxury box, Penis GM Ryno is shocked. Even Vince Coleman is shocked! In fact, The Nimrods would add two more runs in the inning to go in front 6-3 and make a statement that they came toplay.


Peter Gammons: I talked to Nimrods GM Ultimate7 before the game, and he had a secret clubhouse meeting where he told the players that they would be held accountable for their play if they didn't perform. At the same time, he also offered them a trip to Baskin-Robbins for ice cream if they played well. Ice cream seems to work for this team.


HR: I prefer gelato, myself.


PG: That's what I hear about you...


HR: What's that mean?


PG: Nothing, nothing at all. Just that you...like...gelato.


KR: Settle down, boys, we've got a long way to go. The Nimrods would tack on a run here and there, until suddenly it's 9-3, and things are going all wrong for the Penis...


HR: Ha, Peter's heard that before!


KR: Watch it! Anyway, to paraphrase an old saying, you can't keep a good Penis down. They would score twice in the sixth to get to within 9-5 and then in the eighth inning, it was time for, with apologies to Lou Barlow, a patented Deluxe Penis Explosion!


PG: There's no other way to explain this other than Roger McDowell having a complete meltdown!


HR: He's kind of goofy in the head, anyway...


KR: Whatever the reason, he couldn't stop the Penis from scoring again and again and again. Bob Brenly hits a three-run homer. Then later in the inning Alan Trammell hits a three-run homer. By the time the bleeding had stopped, what was a 9-5 deficit for the Penis suddenly became a 15-9 lead!


HR: And as we're watching this game, I turned to you guys and said "Game Over". I thought for sure that The Nimrods had no way of rallying after that.


PG: And for once, I agreed with you at the time. I guess that goes to show that I shouldn't do that again.


KR: And here's why: The Nimrods showed so much heart in the game. In the bottom half of the eighth, Chris Speier would jack a three-run homer to help bring The Nimrods to 15-13. But then the Penis would show their killer instinct by putting up a three-spot of their own in the top of the ninth to extend it to 18-13.


HR: Again, it has to be over! The Nimrods made their little run and the Penis responded strongly, like they always do.

[fightonusc]

KR: To quote Lee Corso, "not so fast, my friend..."


PG: Don't ever quote him to me again! Never even say his name around me again!


KR: Huh? Who?


PG: Corso! That A-hole stole the love of my life from me at the Lindy Hop back in 1923. Some day, I will have my revenge, this I assure you...


KR: Well, while Peter goes insane, let's get back to this amazing finish. The Nimrods start the inning at the top of their order. Gaetti and Sheridan single, and then Evans and Ruperto double, and now it's 18-16 with no outs. Then Willie Hernandez is able to get Tim Launder swinging for a huge first out. The Nimrods would need help from the bottom of their order if they were going to win, right Peter?


PG: Oh yes, Corso, beware when you put on that Trojan helmet at the Rose Bowl...it would be a shame if a cobra were to be inside, one that would bite you before you could say "Pow!"


HR: Let me jump in for Crazy McCrazyass here. In their opening skid, the bottom of the order has been awful. But for at least today, they absolutely carried this team.


KR: As you said, they would get the production when they needed it. Ripken singles in a run and then Speier continues his HUGE day with a double, but Ripken gets a bad jump on the ball and has to stop at third. Would this be costly?


PG: You had to think it would be, since The Nimrods had pinch-hitter Terry Puhl up in the eight hole and then were forced to go with Bob Stanley after him.


HR: Are you back with us now?


PG: Yeah, sorry about that. It's just that Corso makes me so...angry!


KR: Remember the heart, Peter...take your medicine! So it was Puhl against the Penis, and Hernandez enduced a fly to shallow left center. It's to be a close play if Ripken tagged up trying to test Eric Davis' arm to score the tying run but then...


HR: MMM-BOP! BA-DOOY-OP, BA-DOO-OP, DOOY-OP BOP!


KR: Right off of Davis' dome! He later said that he was distracted by seeing the glare coming from League Commissioner Richard Man Freddy, who had his shirt off in the bleachers. Whatever the case...there's never a good time for a BOP, but this is a horrible time. Ripken scores the tying run, and Speier's just 90 feet away.


HR: Well, if you're Willie Hernandez, you have to just compose yourself and make sure you get Bob Stanley to strike out to keep it in the infield. I mean, he's the pitcher, what could happen?


KR: Well, this could happen: Stanley slices a ball just over first base! It's fair, and Speier comes home to complete an improbable 19-18 victory in what might be the biggest upset in Fantasy RBI History.


HR: And it's so fitting that Speier scored the winning run, because he has a huge day. 6-for-6, 4 RBI, 3 runs...you can't expect anything more than that!


PG: It will be interesting to see how the Penis responds to such a crushing defeat. It's going to take some intestinal fortitude to get back on form. They have all week to stew over this, including the Holdays, and they have to come back next week with a visit from the defending champs The OC.


KR: It will be interesting to see how this all shakes down. From the entire RBI Baseball Tonight crew, Merry Christmas, and to our non-Christian viewers, enjoy whatever Pagan act of worship you do, like Chanukah. Stayed tune to ESPN2 – the Best Foods Mayonnaise Sandwich Bowl is coming to you next, live from Durant, Mississippi.

Nice write up, USC.  Another fine performance from Tim Launder 0-6 with clutch strikeouts in the 8th and 9th, WTF.
