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

[defen]

I played my first game on a TV in about 3 years, it was glorious.  It's amazing how fast the skill comes back, probably been an entire year since I got a game in.

[Re-Peat]

I hit home runs like crazy with Boston.  I think I prefer greatly the right handed sluggers.

ellis.
burks.

And I never have been able to find anything online to confirm, but I swear there was a spring training game when both Ken Griffey's and their cousin/nephew made up the entire Mariner outfield.

Craig Griffey rode the bench on OSU's football team in the late 80s and spent some time in the Mariners, and I think Reds, organizations.  Not sure if he ever played in a ML game but If he was with the Mariners first, that would put him there at the right time for something like that to have happened in spring training like you said.


I'm going to do a little more investigating.

I can't find any kind of article on it, but it certianly looks like he would have been in the M's organization at the right time for something like that.

i just recorded an 8-4-5 double play on a sharply hit line drive to center.  two were on for detroit and brookens smashed one to pettis in center.  pettis handled it quickly on one hop and gunned it to grich at second who ran toward third to be sure the runner was advancing and fired it to decinces for the tagout.  it was beautiful.

I miss playing ribby online versus a human opponent.

File under "you have got to be fucking kidding me"!

My buddy may have retired from RBI this week.  Turns out hes not so good at handling the stress of RBI. 

The past weekend had a NY(me) vs Boston match-up.  Boston won game 1 handily thanks to a few human errors on my part.  Game 2 NY pulled it out in the bottom of the 9th and game 3 was decided in the top of the 9th and Boston wins 2-1.  Considering I had a couple fuck ups in game 1 that completely handed it to him and then fought like hell in games 2 and 3 i considered it a very good showing.  he on the other hand was moderately disappointed by barely sneaking by an inferior opponent(Team-NY).

Fast forward to the next series that has Boston(me) vs MIN, and I win both games roughly by a a score of 4-1.  In both games he got a little late rally and had 2 guys on with power at the plate but failed to come back.  He's was exceedingly pissed by the performance and the loss.

Fast forward to monday.  STL(me) vs N.L.  Lindeman sporting Ph power bonus takes fernando out of the park and over the scoreboard on an inside pitch.  2-0 STL.  from there the pressure musta started to mount badly for him.  2-1 score when Coleman gets a fastball way inside but manages to turn on it and homers out 3-1 STL mid part of the game.  NL gets  homer and Raines doubles and score in the 9th to tie it up.  In the 10th NL tacks on a run and pulls it out by a score of 4-3.  he decides to pass on playing game 2 so we call it a day.

Turns out it took him 3 days to finally get over the win.  THE WIN!  He was that disguted and angry that feable STL almost took out NL.  So that might be the end of his RBI career.  Crazy thing is the guy had been pretty even in the W-L category with me of late.  Not like hes geting whooped each time out.  He recently game me(A.L.) an ass whooping of 8-2 in game 2 vs saberhagen by N.L. and swept that series. 

Just odd that he doesnt relish the competativeness of it all.  RBI is a great game because no matter the teams/match-ups the score is usually pretty tight.

garrelts just threw a pitch at 100mph to me.   i don't remember him having that kind of velocity, but i guess his attributes allow for that.  good heat.

so you don't have a virtual nes? You playing on the actual nes?

[TβG]

i prefer FCEU for emulation.  i do have virtua nes for the express purpose of watching games, but i just haven't been watching games via emulator this season.

[nomaaa]

been playing a bunch of super rbi with my friend this summer. def not as good, but neither of us have working neses at the moment

[nomaaa]

there is an rbi renaissance taking place.

[Turd]

Nestopia FTW.  Great emulation, great online play.

[MR R.B.I.]

Nestopia gave life back to R.B.I.

[fknmclane]

I fucking hate FTW.

It means fuck the world goddamnit.

[Turd]

You know, I never use FTW. I am quite surprised I actually did, as it was a subconcious decision to do so.
