Los Angeles Tournament

[fightonusc]

i'll put it this way, the tattoos of taco bell and pac man are as real as the strikes you throw, joe dirt.  i mention that becuase the first pitch broiler busted out on me in our game just now was one of your specialty pitches on the outside black.

[fightonusc]

tbg: ok, so pretty much i'm the worst player in all of caclifornia.  broiler just spanked me with the cadinals.  5-3 .  i need to diversify my team selection and pick someone other than california.  i have yet to win a game. i'm 0-4.  the pizza is great though!

[JoeDirt]

broiler = I am a big fan of

[fightonusc]

fighton here: I hate losing one run games. Especially after I come back from two down in the ninth to tie it.

I argh a pissed off pirate.

[broiler]

tough loss in the finals to the non deenee ringer.  but i had a good time hanging out with tbg and fight on.  it was worth the drive

[BeefMaster]

Anyone have the complete results?

[fightonusc]

I'll try to get them up later today. The head-to-head records were:

Michael (non Dee-Nee guy): 4-0
Broiler: 2-2
Anthony (non Dee-Nee guy): 2-2
Teddyballgame: 1-3
fightonusc: 1-3

Broiler went to the championship game against Michael because he beat Anthony head-to-head. We played 1 SP and a three-game series.

My only victory was against Broiler. I as getting really screwed with the BOPs - two games where I had four and at least two others with three. All at crucial times, as well. Having to throw those extra pitches kills one with 1 SP.

After the tournament, we watched "Bloodsport" on Spike TV. Overall, a quality night, and I'm glad we were able to get five people out there.

yeah, thanks for hosting fighton.  i had a good time talking to everyone and distracting myself by getting to know people instead of concentrating on pitching. 

i was surprised at how many bops there were with detroit... most of my opponents played as detroit so i got to see a lot bops that i didn't capitalize on.

apparently i need to play with blinders on, earplugs in, and tape over my mouth to get an advantage concentration-wise in order to have a more competitive showing. 

whoever had broiler with the over in "which dee-neer would show up wearing a belt buckle" is the winner.   awesome.  pics will have to be had.

the visiting guys (mike & anthony) called a bop a "noonan"

Were they good guys? Douches?  How'd they hear about the tourney? And why aren't they on dee nee?

[TβG]

they were alright.  anthony seemed a little more personable.  mike didn't take the games too seriously, but he was relatively quiet. 

i think fighton got their email addresses from dennis kim (hammer of the gods) or through the old socal rbi yahoo group, i can't remember exactly what he told me.  i think they would be invited back.

LA sucks...the tournament would have been better if it was in Boston

[broiler]

you could do your own tournament, negative nancy

[BDawk]

If I wasn't so lazy, I might

[broiler]

allright then, lazy larry

[TbT]

Bdawk, kane, gdavis, and malnu.  now thats a tourney!

is attezz and octo in the ballpark or are they a long ways away?

[JoeDirt]

Did Dennis Kim show up?  My money says no (just like the COTUT and the OH Tourney).

[broiler]

he called and cancelled last minute because of work

[Attezz]

is attezz and octo in the ballpark or are they a long ways away?

8 hours from Boston, but I've driven it quite a few times and it isn't so bad, especially if you leave at 8PM and get there in the middle of the night.

[Gantry]

Seriously, I suck....  I totally assumed things were still in the "gathering" stage and had no idea it already happened.  Next time I'll make a front page update to promote the tourney...

Were Michael and Anthony part of Dennis Kim's tourney?
