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

Tone check!

I may have but only a few RBI feathers in my cap, but they are the most bright and beautiful in the land.

that is, if gary pettis even gets atbats

[TβG]

as you guys know, i play with cali almost exclusively.  i play with all kinds of line-ups against the computer, but mainly leave the original guys in. 

this past weekend i hit a rare "bunyon" with pettis over the first baseman's head for a triple.  i don't think i'd ever done that with him, so it was somewhat lamely exciting.

We call that the "Lunyan" - the lefty Bunyan...

[TbT]

that is, if gary pettis even gets atbats

when he does, he homers and doubles.

That's a quality link right there, I agree with most of those.  Paste was the cat's meow...

The Double Dribble is spot on, well played blog guy.

Tom Chambers too, his special move was off da chain

Of of the blog comments -

"How dare you disrespect Spike Owen. I'll pretend it never happened.

Fess up Dee-Nee, who said that?

[Gantry]

There were a few BS RBI comments (Ozzie Smith could bunt and get on base every time?) but I have to think this is BS.  TBT?

"The SF NG on the original tecmo could dive and get a sack every time the QB was under center. You had to run the shotgun, which limited you to 2 plays instead of 4. A decisive advantage in tecmo."

[TbT]

wrong.!

against the computer you can side step the center with michael carter and get a sack about half the time.  the rest of the time the qb will throw to soon, or else step up in the pocket avoiding the sack. 

vs a good human player, the QB will just cycle quickly and hit an open man for a big gain most of the time.  im sure it may result in a rare-occasional sack, or worse yet hurry the QB and make an errant throw.  Its not a smart idea to try and do more than once or twice a game.

Also, not every team had a shotgun play, and I don't think any of them had 2 (although TBT can certainly correct me on that).

[nomaaa]

none had two, and i can only think of three teams with shogun (sf, den and mia).

that would be awesome if some teams had a samurai dude out there with a sword and whatever for defense.

In four hours I will be attempting to get my picture taken with Tommy Herr. We have an 'in' with a really hot 18 year old who works for the team, and she's getting us in for free (which saves, literally, $14) and we have high hopes of either hooking up with hot 18 year olds...or, best case scenario, Tommy Herr.

Tony Tarrasco also works for the team.

[BeefMaster]

Pics are expected, of both Tommy Herr and various hot 18-year-olds.

[Attezz]

So...Tommy Herr no longer manages the Suns. But we did spend quite a bit of time with the unbelievable hotties that work the promotions, and it turns out our hot 18 year old is in pageants (face! broiler).

A few notes, THEY HAVE LEINEY SUNSET WHEAT FOR SIX DOLLARS FOR 32 OUNCES!!!!! ON TAP!!!!!! This immediately made the night start unbelivable.

Me and my buddy did an on field race where we ran twenty yards, changed a diaper for a baby, and ran back. I was pretty drunk (itw as the 6th inning at that point) and they had a two second head start, but, as long as I don't have to run more than 25 yards, I'm pretty quick, but apparently diapers go between the legs and have sticky tape shit to keep it on, i finished second. hot chick won (we were gonna rig it, but we were outclassed)

the key to the race thing was the ten minutes waiting for the inning to end, when i got 6 6-8 year old boys to start a "boys rule girls drool" chant to psyche out the girl we were racing, i also was surprised that when i said "hey ,BOYS! you to to college to...and girls to to where!" anyway, very enjoyable. later on i was going to take a piss and 3 of the boys stopped me, one of them had a handlebar mustache painted on, and the other stopped me to make sure his friend played me his 'afroman' ringtone, which was a guy saying "lick my balls"

parents, please don't let your kids have cell phones.

while behind the home dugout, i got into a quick conversation with darnell coles, and asked a player who's last name was smolinski if he was actually a hockey player (he said he wasn't). both of them should have been focused on the game that they were losing.

so...no tommy herr, i don't own a camera, but holy crap are these 18 year olds hot and i think this may become part of our weekly scheduole (monday = nothing, tuesday = bar, wednesday = nothing, thursday = bar, friday = bar, saturday night = bar, sunday = crappier bar).

EDIT: our hot 18 year old is who forced us into the race, so, being that we still thought tommy Herr was managing, we were announced as "Jim Lindemann and Curt Ford (thanks Nacho!)" and whatever the cunt's name was we were racing. We figured this would give us our in since of the 4000 people there, only Tommy Herr would recognize both names, we were pretty upset to find out he wasn't managing.

BUT DARNELL COLES!!!

i just outran jorge (george) bell.  i was the cards with pendleton at third base and ran across the field on a groundball, beating him to first.

he hit the ball so hard it negated his speed.  936/124.  i actually thought he was faster than that, until i looked it up just now.  he's not so fast.  even compared to the top 5-6 power guys, he's like 5th.

still, a rare feat nonetheless.
