Good luck to all participants.  I will be grilling, drinking and following along from Kentucky.

The draw:

1st Series:

Gantry vs Racktacular
Sperling vs Potsie

2nd Series:

Sperling vs Ractacular
Gantry vs Potsie

3rd Series:

Sperling vs Gantry
Racktacular vs Potsie

Potsie has an uphill battle with no first picks.  On the other hand I have 3 first picks.  A lot of pressure.  I'm wearing the same outfit as the Qualifier - I hope it works.  Gantry is wearing clean socks...hmmmm.

Dee-Nee!!!  Tourney is about to begin.

[Sperling]

Game 1:

Gantry (DET) vs Racktacular (BOS)

First pitch...the 2006 RBI Tourney is underway.

[Mr. Blubbo]

Game 1 is over.

Racktacular (BOS) upsets Gantry (DET)  15-14, with a walk off HR by Hendu. 

HR's:

Det: 12
Bos: 10

KEYS TO THE GAME:

Boston: THE PITCHING STAFF:

Stuttering Stanley started and was able to keep Boston in the game through 3 2/3 innings by giving up 6 runs and only 1 after the first.  Clemens came in and limited Detroit to only a few runs and when Clemens was pulled Boston had a 2 runs lead.  After a shaky 7th inning for Hurst (4 runs) he had a 1,2,3 8th.  Calvin Schraldi then came in for the 9th and left a donut on the board for Detroit.

With Boston down 1 run going into the bottom of the 9th, Dwight Evans hit a solo shot and then with 2 out Hendu hits a walk off shot to win the game.

Detroit:  LEFTY ROW:

Detroit was never able to get going with their lefties and put enough points on the board.  Chalk it up to first game jitters because I don't think we'll see such a poor display of Detroit lefties from Gantry for the rest of the tourney.


Overall it was a HUGE opening win for the defending champ, Racktacular.  I'm on my way to acomplishing my goal to be the first back-to-back Dee-Nee Champion!

[Sperling]

It's shitty that we don't have Lips to post the updates.

Game 1, Series 1

Sperling (DET) vs Potsie (CA)

Det - 19, 11 HRs
Ca - 7, 6 HRs

5 inning slaughter. 

Potsie "I wish my first baseman had 10ft arms".  I had 25 hits, mostly lefty hits.

Dee-Nee!!!

Game 2, Series 1 up now...

Racktacular (DET) vs Gantry (CA)

[Lips]

Shut up bitch!

Here's your update, Gantry just slaughtered Rack.

Sperling (1-0)
Gantry (1-1)
Rack (1-1)
Pots (0-1)

[Lips]

The lack of posts continues...

Pots won the final game of the first round, to knot everyone at (1-1).  Gantry has the tie-breaker over Jason if they tie in the final standings, while Sperling has the tie-breaker over Pots.

[Mr. Blubbo]

Sperling (DET) v.s. Racktacular (BOS) game 1 is over.

Racktacular slaughters Sperling in 4 innings 15-5.  DEE-NEE!

Stuttering Stanley wasn't as impressive as he gave up 3 ER's in 1 1/3 inning.  Clemens came in and showed why he is the all-time best pitcher and only allowed Detroit 2 runs the rest of the way.  The entire Boston lineup was on fire as they scored 5 in the first, 2 in the second, 4 in the 3rd and 4 in the 4th to end the game.

Now I have to take advantage and get a victory with Detroit.  Big game 2.  3-1 is much much better than 2-2.

Why isn't Lips playing?  Rack, it's up to you to represent the Jews in this one.

[Mr. Blubbo]

Up now:

Gantry (DET) v.s. Potsie (BOS)

Through 5 full innings

Gantry: 4
Potsie: 2

A terrible display of championship RBI on center stage right now.

[Mr. Blubbo]

Why isn't Lips playing?  Rack, it's up to you to represent the Jews in this one.

Lips didn't qualify for the championship tourney in the qualifier.  It was Lips, Sperling and Gantry.  Lips had the worst record of the 3 and with only 2 spots available, Lips is here as a spectator.  Both Potsie and myself were in the finals last year so we automatically qualify for the championship tourney.

JEWS!

[GDavis]

Rack is a Jew
He better get mad hits like he was Rod Carew

[Mr. Blubbo]

BILL BUCKNER HR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GDavis]

POOYAN!

[WeatherMatt]

No live webcast of the tournament? Damn, Dee-Nee needs to upgrade.

[Mr. Blubbo]

Potsie - Bos 15, 12 HRs
Gantry - Det 10, 8 HRs

[GDavis]

Gantry sure does suck tonight

[Lips]

(This is Rack)

Game 2 between Sperling and Racktacular


Racktacular (DET) - 23.   17 HR's.   
Sperling (CALI) - 16        12 HR's.

Sperling put up one hell of a fight.  Rack was up 11 in the 5th with Decenses (sp?) up.  Subbed Alexander for King.  HR.  Dah-Nah.  Then subbed in Hernandez to face Joyner and Jackson.  Joyner po.  Jackson HR.  Double Dah-Nah.  Forced to sub in Morris (my las pitcher) to finish the game.  Was up by 11 in the next inning, just to have Sperling cut it to 7.  Then later to 4!  But in the top of the 9th, Detrot came through strong with a 5 spot to put the game out of reach.

With the sweep of Sperling, I am now 3-1.  Need...to...keep...winning...




Gantry (CALI), Potsie (DET) playing now.  Gantry up 6-0 in the top of the 1st.

[JoeDirt]

So Alexander pitched to one batter and Hernandez pitched to two batters?  Poor management!
