[Darky]

The Empire would like to publicly announce that Reggie Jackson, Ryne Sandberg and Will Clark will be starting in our upcoming ComieHitlers clash. Reggie will be hitting cleanup followed by Dale Murphy, Will Clark and Ryne Sandberg. Denny Walling will be our last pinch hitter and will be platooning with Ryne Sandberg.

The Empire looks forward to meeting the CommieHitlers. We are aware of their team speed, good pitching and overall ability. Our pitchers are very familiar with their lineup. Luke nomaa has done a great job at breaking down the film/scouting reports and presenting a sound game plan to minimize the 1-2-3-4 hitters. Our pitchers have a strong grasp of what we are trying to preach. Nomaa has been brilliant in sharpening up the mechanics of our whole pitching staff and the numbers speaks for themselves as we have the second best ERA in the league.

We are aware of team owner Nacho's personal problems lately. We feel that the Force is weak in him right now. And the Empire shall exploit this.

We plan to play Empire style ball with impeccable execution.

We expect to win. Luke nomaa shall not fail me with our improved lineup. We are number one in homeruns, number two in batting average, and number two in slugging percentage. There is little to stand between the Empire and its utter dominance of the known universe.

If the CommieHitlers choose not to fight, then they will meet their destiny.

May the Force bless our Empire.

I can't wait til nomaa comes after the Empire et tu Brute style.

[Darky]

There shall not exist, any notion that Commander nomaa is heir to the Empire. The 15th of this month shall come and pass.

Ryne Sanberg will be on a short leash. I know the hate is strong in him, but I am gambling on Ryno's spirit to strengthen the dark side of the Force in Ryne Sandberg. If not, then I am fucked with Walling and a sally Ryno Sanberg. But Reggie should make up for the difference.

Reggie is set to go on a terror. The Thrill will get his.

This will mark the Empire's first road trip. We shall use the team ship......Super Star Destroyer Executor.

Our away Imperial Stormtrooper uniforms transcends a powerful message and presence on the Tengen diamond.

This thread, like the last three RBI league threads, needs more large irrelevant pictures that make it difficult for me to read any other post.

[TbT]

at least darkie is strong in his convictions...i'll give him that much.

[Attezz]

You're such an enabler.

The GDavis @ The OC game is complete. Game video is attached.

[GDavis]

box score please

[moses]

I cannot watch the game and I am hoping we kicked some OC booty.

[Darky]

Good game. Very tight.

WTF GDavis? Watch some games already.

If there is one team that I despise...it is GDavis. They are on steroids, they play station to station ball, they have no team speed, but they do hit bombs. That is it. Just bombs. The Empire will avenge our last defeat to those fucks.

Sounds like the Empire is trying to put together a final solution.

GDavis Holds on to Tip The OC, 16-13

DEE-NEE CITY - Chet Lemon added three home runs and George Bell and Harry Spilman each added a pair as GDavis held off a last-inning rally by The OC to take a 16-13 victory in a Gantry Division game played Wednesday night at Tengen Stadium.

GDavis (5-2) appeared to have the game well in hand when taking a 16-9 lead into the bottom of the ninth inning. However, the bottom of The OC's order produced four runs off of Jesse Orosco, and The OC (2-5) was able to get the tying run to the plate in the form of Tom Brunansky. However, Orosco was able to induce Brunansky to ground out to end the game.

The OC's fan base, known as one of the best in the Fantasy RBI League, have shown signs of growing frustration. New pitcher Bret Saberhagen was booed by a large portion of the crowd after leaving the game following three innings of ineffective work. Several fans were even spotted carrying signs critical of The OC's management, including one that said "Trade Reggie? How About Trading TBG and BDawk? John 4:20"

We're up half a game on you.  See if you can keep pace with us son.

[Darky]

George Bell is on a terror. He hit a bomb on the first pitch of the game. Kind of cool. GDavis hits bombs. I won't mention any names, but some people really screwed up in the draft. And GDavis was in the right place at the right time and went for the power sluggers.

I knew Pendleton would start to cool off. Pedro and Wally had decent days. Now it's my turn to keep up with GDavis and win wih my new powerful lineup. Everything is riding on Sandberg. He should put up the same numbers as Pendleton. Reggie and the Thrill should have a strong second half.

Great post game write up by fighton. I bet TBG and BDawk are the two most hated people in the OC right now. But they are back to back champs and they still have a shot?

[Gantry]

Let the Potatoes Curse begin...

[TβG]

maybe next year i'll move the team up to san luis obispo.  some of our key bats were neutralized by the lefthanded pitching of gdavis.  we'll come through.  i feel a win streak coming on. 

chet lemon was a force.  sometimes you just can't stop a guy when he's seeing the ball that well.

I finally got my spreadsheet updated with all the damn changes from week 6 to 7, now I can start scoring the games

[fightonusc]

I'm going to be out of town until Tuesday night for work. I'll try to get the games done at night in my hotel room, but don't be surprised if I decide I'd rather go to a bar in Austin than hang out and simulate a game in my hotel room.
