Official 24 Hours of RBI Thread

[moses]

do you think your roommate will find me more normal than he would have expected, or less normal?

Not sure.  Probably less.  He's pretty vanilla.

Out of curiousity what exactly does this mean? Does he talk like Carlton on Fresh prince?

[Gantry]

I'm gantry@dee-nee.com! 

[TempoGL]

ok so far i got gantry and clampett.  in all actuality that will probably be enough, but anyone else who wants to help, please PM me.

we are keeping a log of games played, complete with scores.

we are also going to take a "before" photo and an "after" photo.  hopefully other shots in between, they may get bizarre as we slip further into the thresholds of madness.

i think that whenever one of us goes to take a leak/poop, the other needs to get on dee-nee and post their thoughts.  this will be clockwork orange type stuff...

i booked a room at the motel 6, we will be heading there early in the morning to get it started.  the TV in the room had damn well better have RF input...

[Nacho]

Update:  We slept in until now (about 9 AM).  Maybe it will be better to do this on a good night's sleep...

[JoeDirt]

motel 6...ugh...what a dump.

[TempoGL]

motel 6 is a dump.  No shampoo, no internet, not even a pen.  I also managed to leave my razor in chicago so i am starting to look like grizzly adams.  Right now nacho is getting his phone, then we are starting.  The good news is that there are trucks on the bed.

[TempoGL]

i just tried to send a pic text to gnatry tbt and clampett.  I got an error so i assume that one of the email addresses are wrong.  Did any of you get my pic of our rbi setup?

[TβG]

good luck gentlemen.

[TempoGL]

ok we got dial up courtesy of AOL.  nacho and I are starting NOW, 10:39 AM on 8/22/06.  one small step for man, one giant leap backwards for mankind.

[Gantry]

I shall update the news...

[Mr. Blubbo]

most solid, but it would have been better to stop at 6am rather than 1030 am.  I can imagine those hours when the sun is coming up are going to be brutal.

I also think we need a log of # of games played per hour throughout the tourney.  This is to make sure that you guys are consistant and don't get sloppy later on (start out at 8 games an hour only to have it slip to 1  game an hour 20 hours into the fray).

[TempoGL]

ok we are playing series style.  i will always be houston, nacho will always be StL.  I just won the first series, 4 games to 0.  Mike Scott has thrown 17 2/3 innings so far without being scored upon.

we are keeping a tally of the score of every game, as well as the winning pitchers.  we are also making a note of any/all extra inning games, as well as whenever a complete game is thrown.

i had a sweet comeback in the 9th inning of game one...but i won't get into it, we have too much RBI to play.

[Gantry]

I insist that you at least once go with the Gantry Houston lineup:

1)  Nokes
2)  Cruz
3)  Garner
4)  Davis
5)  Bass
6)  Doran
7)  Reynolds
  Terry Puhl Day

I guarantee a victory...

[Nacho]

strassy here...series 2 is in the books.  i took it 4 games to 1.  mike scott's scoreless streak ended at 29 IP.  we have played 4 straight one run games.

okay, nacho here.  I really need to get my head out of my ass, as i have made several fielding errors and mental mistakes.  it's time for a turn around, and a change of luck, as i keep losing these one-run contests.

that is all for now.

[ultimate7]

I insist that you at least once go with the Gantry Houston lineup:

1)  Nokes
2)  Cruz
3)  Garner
4)  Davis
5)  Bass
6)  Doran
7)  Reynolds
  Terry Puhl Day

I guarantee a victory...

Is this Vit's fantasy team?  How did Nokes get on Houston?

[Nacho]

Series 3 is in the books.  I won it 4 game to 1.  Amazingly, in game 3 of this series, Tudor had a perfect game through nine innings, though the score was still 0-0, and we had to go to extras.  Billy Hatcher ripped a shot off the wall in inning 10, but was thrown out at second (Tudor faced the minimum through ten and went 11 total).  I won the game in 13 innings on a two run homer (I forgot who hit it... Maybe Clark).

Some notes so far... GDavis has been awesome for Strassy, and MScott has been even awesomer, giving up only two runs through 45 IP or so.  Amazing.

On my part, I have gotten ZERO production from McGee and Pendleton, having no home runs by either player through 14 total games.  Dah-Nah.

So far, almost three hours in the books and Strassy leads the total series 9 games to 5.

[fightonusc]

14 games in three hours = 112 games in 24 hours! You're on pace to reach an unthinkable mark. Can you guys reach 100?

This should be a puhl.

[TempoGL]

nacho was slightly off in his time estimate.  it was roughly 3.25 hours when he made that post, so we are not really on track for 112 games.

we just completed our 4th series and 20th game.  i took this one 4 games to 2.  here are win totals for each pitcher thus far

Ryan 7 wins, 4 complete games
Cox 5 wins
Scott 4 wins, 2 complete games
Tudor 2 wins, 1 complete game
Kerfeld 2 wins
Worrel 1 win
Smith and Dayley = bags of ass

coleman has been stealing bases like a madman, at least one per game.  doesn't really surprise me, he is a sneaky bastard.  he cannot be thrown out, ever.

terry puhl has been a beast, and nacho is scared of phil garner.

i tried gantry's lineup (assuming Nokes meant Lopes) and didn't really like it.  I prefer having Hatcher in there over Reynolds, although I did win that game.

So far I'm winning, 13-7.

[Gantry]

How can you prefer Hatcher over Reynolds?  You saying you keep Doran in but take Reynolds out? 

[JoeDirt]

Gantry we want answers as to why you think Nokes should/could lead off for Ho.
