Pots vs. Gantry
Lips vs. Jason

Round 2:
Pots vs. Jason
Gantry vs Lips

Round 3:
Gantry vs. Jason
Lips vs. Pots

[Gantry]

Game 1 is in the books and I can safely say that it was the game of the tourney. 

Gantry (Ca) - 25, 21 HRs
Potsie (Dt) - 24, 13 HRs

We traded 6 run first innings, I had Potsie down 10 going into the 6th and by the top of the 9th he was up two.  I scored 5 in the 9th, Potsie had two on with Bergman up in a pinch hitting role.  Donnie Moore, on fumes at this point, gets him to fly out to center.   

I had FIVE BOPs in the game, may be a championship record. 

[Lips]

Alright, hopefully the tourney jitters are out of the way.  I came away with a victory against Jason, but it wasn't a great game played by either of us.  I was playing from behind for the first six innings until Jason was done with Schiraldi and Clemens, and turned to Hurst.  I then went on to hit 5 in the 7th and 5 in the 8th.  Jason wouldn't give up, though and made it a 2-run game going into the 9th.

I sucked it up big time and didn't score.  I was left with a tough decision, my third pitcher, King, was slowing down big time, but only had GuiMo left.  I said fuck it, left CS in and got through the ninth to win by 2 (I believe 18-16).

Dee-Nee!

Standings:

Gantry (1-0)
Lips (1-0)
Pots (0-1)
Jason (0-1)

[Gantry]

From a tight game to a slaughter in half an inning, I took Potsie down in 4:

Gantry (Dt) - 18, 17 HRs
Pots (Bo) - 8

Got 10 in the bottom of the 4th, almost all of dem came when Potsie brought in Hurst.  For quite possibly the first time ever, I subbed 3 batters in the 4th inning (Madlock for Sheridan, Heath for Whitaker and Bergman for Madlock) and homered each time.  Quality...

Standings:

Gantry (2-0)
Lips (1-0)
Jason (0-1)
Potsie (0-2)

[Gantry]

Rack just struck out in straight pitch, he claims that there couldn't have been two strikes.  Not only did he whiff (10 drinks) but he whiffed while "You're The Best Around" was playing.  Worst at bat ever?

great news update

[Gantry]

The people need to know...

Lips and Jason had a low scoring affair, both guys trading donuts in the 9th.  Lips fouled out with Sullivan, popped out to center with Armas and grounded out to the pitcher with Burks to end the game.

Jason (Dt) - 12, 10 HRs
Lips (Bo) - 11, 10 HRs

Standings:

Gantry 2-0
Lips 1-1
Jason 1-1
Potsie 0-2

Potsie & Jason up now...

[Potsie]

I just took out Jason 17-16.  I am the fkn man.

Rack just struck out in straight pitch, he claims that there couldn't have been two strikes.  Not only did he whiff (10 drinks) but he whiffed while "You're The Best Around" was playing.  Worst at bat ever?

Was Rack doing his pussy move (that he did against me) where he will try to foul off the first two pitches (or even purposely swing and miss) of every AB in an attempt to tire the pitcher?

Drink up buddy!

[Gantry]

I actually didn't see the Ks, I think the first one he didn't even swing because he thought there was one strike. 

Taking pitches it pretty common in straight pitch, cause you can't throw a slowball with two strikes.

[Gantry]

Lips and I had a GREAT game:

Gantry (Dt) - 19, 14 HRs
Lips (Bo) - 18, 15 HRs

The highlight - I struck out Jim Rice with Willie Hernandez.  I brought him in for one batter, as Boggs is the only lefty on Boston (who plays) - so after getting Boggs out I figure why the fuck not?  Rice had three dingers on me before that so give Willie a shot.  Threw a fastball with strike two and Hernandez's disparity between his fastball and regular pitch is among the best in the game.  WHIFF!!

Standings:

Gantry 3-0
Lips 1-2
Pots 1-2
Jason 1-2

Needless to say the next two games are huge. 

[Sperling]

Stats from Rack and Pots' second game:

Pots (Bos) - 19, 14 HRs
Rack (Det) - 16, 12 HRs

Records thus far:

Gantry 3-0
Pots 2-2
Lips 1-2
Rack 1-3

Gantry and Lips Game 2 up now.

[fknmclane]

So that's it?  Fucking deadlock?  I hate you all.

[Lips]

Gantry went into the finals...with 4 wins.

[Lips]

Rack was (3-3) after regulation.

I had to battle back...and beat Potsie first.  I did that somehow.

After Rack beat Gantry in straight sets, I had to beat Rack.

Dee-Fkn-Nee McLane!!!!!!!!  I beat Rack in two innings

[Lips]

Then there was the best 2-out-of-3.  It was fkn rough!!!!

Everyone deserves a chance. 

Against Gantry in the first game of the finals, I was down 5 in the bottom of the 9th.  But GOD BLESS bops!!  I really can't remember it 100%, but I did beat Gantry in Game 1.

Gantry was pretty mad at some point and broke the power adapter.  I was up, but I wasn't taking anything for advantage!!  I didn't want to win with BS.  I wanted to feel deserving of winning the championship.  We played through it.  As describe above, I won somehow...

And then in game 2, I was Detroit, and my bats came alive (I was so fkn happy), and after some X innings (I think it was 6 or 7), I slaughter Gantry for the second and deciding game.  Dee-Fkn-Nee!!!!!!!!

It's been awhile since I won the championship...but it feels so fkn good to hold the belt and be the champ.

Sure, this might be BS to 50% of the readers, but trust me...to me, it's fkn huge. 


I haven't been champ since 2003.

DEE-FKN-NEE, EVERYONE!!!!!!!!

Congrats Lips

Rack just struck out in straight pitch, he claims that there couldn't have been two strikes.  Not only did he whiff (10 drinks) but he whiffed while "You're The Best Around" was playing.  Worst at bat ever?

my favorite pirate Adam LaRoche used to use "you're the best around" as his atbat music and he strikes out a lot. but i still like him.
hope that helps!
