we are attempting and RBI marathon this weekend...

[Briznock]

BOOYAH    UPDATE   

33 games down.....And my pitching is on point.

We have hit a serious snag....  longer games and not enough slaughters of the weak opponents and a few things taking our minds off the game have cost us.  The Nintendo is working great and looks to last the rest of the way.  Overall records right now....

Briznock (24-4)
GoReds (8-11)
Andy (0-12)
Stein (1-6)

There have been the following
- 8 CG's
- 2 HR game out of The Grinch
- 1-0 16 inning affair between Ca (GoReds) and Sf (Andy)
- 2 9th inning comebacks (both by me)
- 15 K performance by Ryan
- Vince Coleman walzie
- Tudor and Cox combined for a one hitter and 18 K's
- DaEvan got thrown out by the right fielder
- 6 Solo Homers by 6 different players on SF in one game

My predictions for tommorow...

1.  I will win the mojority of games I play....I would be willing to say 66%.

this hasn't worked out, yet, but the night is still young!

[Reds]

My pitching so far has been less than good...PLus Brock has finally started to slow down and is the first to take a nap....stein and andy are playing and Stein has gotten himself in a bit of a better mood, and he is picking up his first game in like six or seven hours...if he picks up his pace....we'll conquer this thing easily.

Last six games are as follows...

8 - 4 SF (b) over Bo (g)  (SF had 6 solo HRs)
4 - 2 Mn (b) Over SF (g)
2 -1 Mn (G) over Ca
5 - 0 Mn (g) over Ho (a)
5 - 3 Bo (a) over SF (g)
3 - 1 Ho (g) over DT (a)

I finally started felling like I was hitting my corners with minnesota...I expect somewhere around 80 games...Brock was complaining about some eye ache, and I'm getting a bit of a sharp headache, but I'll tough it out...I'm not stopping after ten hours.

37 down in about 10 hours...pace slowed but the last few games went quickly.

more pics...

1.  Stein enjoying his first game in a few hours.
2.  Brock in a well needed nap.  (hes been a powerhouse for the first half..I expect things to slow down from here.
3.  Drawing teams.
4.  Me after a partucularly costly error.  (I look evil)

[Mr. Blubbo]

This is most solid.  Having 4 people and not 2, while still a great feat, is not the same.  If Nacho and Strassy can pull off a 24 hour marathon by themselves, that will be the ultimate accomplishment.

Good luck to those involved during the wee hours of the night, but it is 1230 here, just got home and going to sleep.

And make sure to get some pics of pranking someone while they sleep.  ..

[Reds]

Its been near 13 hours, and we're definitely hitting the wall right now....no doz is wearing off and cofee isnt working...we still have games going on...and I can guarantee no two man team could possibly do this...

6 - 4 SF (S) over Bo (a)
7 - 6 Mn (a) over Dt (d)
4 - 3 Ca (a) over Ho (d)
10 - 0 Mn (b) over Ho (a)
8 - 2 Dt (b) over Bo (b)
4 - 0 Mn (j) over Ho (B)
11 - 1 Ca (j) over Bo (b)
10 - 0 Ca (b) over Sl (j)
4 - 3 SF (j) over Ca (b)  (10th inning walkoff for Chili davis off donnie moore, who then killed himself, in front of his family)
10 - 0 Dt (b) over Bo (j) (we tried making your opponents lineup, but I didnt know we could change pitchers)


the odds are looking long as Brock and I are pretty much the only ones wanting to play now.

[TempoGL]

great work guys...i can't wait to demolish you all in about 3 weeks.  this had added fuel to the fire

[TβG]

i'm pretty sure everyone has ignored all my posts in this thread.  but if that has somehow increased your focus on the gaming marathon, all the better.  keep going guys.  play til the break of  day!







and then for like 6 or seven more hours.

[TβG]

hey guys, answer honestly:


you're playing with yourselves, aren't you?

[Briznock]

Wow... huge back up...

An 11 inning game in which I hit a walk off with Heep then 16 inning affair between Stein and I.  34 hits and only 3 runs.  Candy man walk off single in the bottom of the 16th wins it for me.
