Stock is beating me, and we are drinking. Last game is his win in batting practice pitch.

Man, I did not know you two were that kinky. Pics?

I got my money on Stock btw...

[Stock]

I am 3-0 now against Defen.
I just beat him 15-5 (4 innings) with houston against SF.

In the 4-inning affair Ashby was 3-3 (HR, 2 Doubles, 4 RBIs).  Lopes had 2HRs.  Nolan Ryan; 2 hits.

I am supposed to mention that Defen was veeeeerrrrrryyyyy well on his way when he got here.  Guy has a breathalizer on his key chain..... nice!

Glad to hear you two kids finally got together.

[defen]

WOW.

Yeah, drunk.  Good times.  Stock and Mrs. Stock are good people.

[defen]

One of this evening's games...son of a bitch whooped me with Houston.

[Gantry]

I hope you didn't play BP style the whole time, because Stock played about 1023084738072038470238703287 games of that for the series on here.  You didn't stand a chance...

Yup.  Still fun, though...

Stock destroyed defen with Hou...in BP style! Impressive.

Apparently defen is not a good hitter...cause the Giants can do some damage with the right dudes in their.

I think the beer had something to do with it...

[Darky]

No damn excuses defen...that's not the sign of a winner.

You need discipline.

[broiler]

what exactly is batting practice style?  straight pitch?

[Gantry]

Think it's right down the middle, no moving on the mound or slowballs/fastballs

[defen]

Yep

[broiler]

so in regular straight pitch you can move on the mound?

[Gantry]

If our version is the regular version, then yes

[Stock]

If our version is the regular version, then yes

In Gantry's version I believe any pitch is fair game so long as it is over the plate..... fastballs, knuckle balls, inside corner, outside corner, etc..

I am telling you right now that if were were playing anything goes that night, our first game would have been 1-0 in about 15 innings.
I have not played on a non-computer screen since dee-nee fest Chicago, and it took us forever to get the timing down.  There also seemed to be a (ever so) slight lag on my TV.  Not sure if it was because it was on a 65" TV or what.  I could not pull a ball to save my life in the first few innings.
The first HR of the night came courtesy of Benito Santiago in the 3rd inning of the first game.

[Gantry]

I have also noticed lag in Sperling's big HDTV, it was pretty much unplayable. 

[TβG]

were they both rear-screen projection?  just a thought...
