Randomly Post the First (RBI Related) Thing That Pops Into Your Head

[Baines]

How come every time I bean somebody, they come back to hit a blast off me in the next AB.

Should I be banned for life because this has happened to me with Spike Owen before?

Chubby white guys = incredible baseball players

When is my pitcher homer coming?

[ericdavisfan]

Larry Herndon is the Tito Jackson of RBI baseball

[sucka free]

Is the "wallsy" intentional?

[BDawk]

Dickie Thon has a cool name

[Flood]

Somebody said Tito Jackson.

Is the right field wall shorter than the left field wall?

[chubbrock]

Chubbs was up by 9 going into the top of the ninth.  I forget what the teams were, but I was overmatched.  Guess who won.

You bastard.

[Baines]

Does anybody else have a name for when the player makes a catch where they end up in the diving position?

We always call it a Web Gem.  It's also worth one drink.

A 9-inning no-no against the computer is harder than it sounds...

[Baines]

I'm going to attempt it tonight.  Unfortunately my moror skillz are fucked from $1 draft/$5 pitcher night at the bowling alley.



Cheap drinks... A gift and a curse...

[Felonious Gunk]

Looking back on the era, it's a good thing they didn't line the fields with cocaine... Strawberry (AND a few others who escape me now) woulda been kicked out a LONG time ago.

I fucking lost 2 in a row last night.  I had like a month long winning streak going and my friend beat me with Houston.  I had a major power outage with the Cards and lost something like 8-7.  Pretty sad for straight pitch.

StL then made up for it when my other friend hit 9 home runs with them against me in the next game.  One of these being a walk off by Steve Lake.  Damn Natty Light tall boys make me suck ass at RBI.

Also we have a new tradition of saying "Warning Track Power" every time Tony Pena steps to the plate.  I've never seen anybody hit more deep flies and balls off the wall.  Even his homers barely clear the fence.

I FUCKING LOVE THAT QUOTE..."WARNING TRACK POWER"....THAT'S PERFECT FOR THAT FUCKTARD.

The cards redeemed themselves tonite.  Kind of.  I was about to lose to one of my friends who has never beat me b/c they were in the midst of another power outage but I had late inning heroics.

Down 9-8 I put Morris in for the pitcher and he makes the 1st out.  Coleman hits what should have been a double but makes it to 3rd when the throw comes in to 2nd.  I try to put on the hit and run with Ozzie but of course he pops it up just like StL always does on rbi when you need them to put it on the ground.  With 2 outs my friend changes pitchers, bringing in Corbet and I hit a walk off with Mr Clutch, Jim Lindeman.  It was balls out time indeed.  Yes I have been drinking heavily.

More Portsmouth RBI action:

Arcade:

spike_owen#1   Cards    19
Baines                A's         15

Baines                Dodgers  12
spike_owen#1   Cards      11

Nothing really out of the ordinary about these 2 games other than Jack Clark putting on a hitting clinic.  I really suck ass on the arcade game and lose with the same consistency as I usually win against my friends on the NES.  Basically I can either throw the ball hard or to the right base but never both.  In the first game I attribute at least 9 of the runs I gave up to throwing errors, usually with 2 outs.  I would have lost the 2nd game too if spike wasnt trying to talk on the phone and dropped it at a crucial point in the 9th inning.


NES:

spike_owen#1   Ca  17
Baines                Mn   7   8 innings

Possibly the biggest bullshit game I've ever been witness to.  Angels 11 HR's, Twins 2.  Making it more painful is that he leaves the starters in.  I know I'm a little unconventional by leaving Boone in but the RBI gods should make him pay for not using Cali right.  Instead he gets a homer with Pettis, 2 from Grich, and 3 from Boone.  Now I didn't care to give up 3 to Reg but this is fucking ridiculous.  First time he's slaughtered me.  Yes, I'm still bitter.


Baines    Ca    16
Spike      Mn     0    3 innings

A little bit of redemption I guess but still didn't make up for the 1st game.  I think there were 6 homers.  Herdrick led off the game with one and Jones showed he belongs in the 6 hole with 2 bombs.  Boone also hit another 2.  I'm beginning to think we have some screwed up copy of RBI because it seems like we're the only people in the world to get this kind of production from Boone.

[fknmclane]

I haven't played RBI baseball in over two weeks.  This is getting ridiculous.

[ultimate7]

I lost 2 out 3 yesterday using STL against MN, lost both games Tudor pitched in the series.  2-0 in the rubber match when both runs given up scored on a 2 out bases loaded bop in the 5th inning.  Just wasn't my day.
