Official RBI Fantasy Draft VI - Comment Thread

[Darky]

Another scrimmage rom with Ryno's lineup...

And me owning the Alliance...

[Darky]

Awesome Badasses will meet up with the Pabst Blue Ribbons in a scrimmage....I'll post it in 10 minutes. Gotta run the game.

[AlecTrevylan006]

Ten minutes have come and gone. Darky is clearly fixing games for his own benefit.

[Darky]

Sorry, I was chattin with a friend on FB...

Yeah, I ran three games----you took 2 and Ryno took 1. Forgot to take snap shots because I was tied up.

Time for bed and I'm just glad the whole draft is over...seemed like it took years.

[Re-Peat]

The Alliance choked against the Fighting Artichokes in spring training action.  Even though the Rebels were getting bombs from all parts of the lineup (Trammel, Boggs, Armas, Nokes, Puckett) the Artichoke's seemingly never-ending stream of extra-base hits and timely home runs were just too much for the alliance pitching staff to handle.

I couldn't say why but so far in all 3 games my team has made more errors and more bonehead fielding misplays than their opponents...  hopefully these defensive kinks will be sorted out by the start of the regular season. 

The biggest story in this game was the lack of production from the 7 and 8 hole from Herr and Lombardozzi.  They'll have more chances to fight for their spot in the lineup but there is active competition from Marty Barrett who had a nice hit off the bench in this game.

[Re-Peat]

The Alliance stomped all over the PoopyDicks faces in spite of a Doug DeCinces home run.  The Rebels just strung together double after double after double and with a mighty HR from Lombardozzi sealed the deal against the Dicks.  After 4 games Herr is the only Rebel to not yet clear the fences, although he did hit one to the wall for a triple in this game. 

[Re-Peat]

Continuing the Rebel's preseason...  The Alliance hit a brick wall against the Fighting Urlachers who just seemed to have their number.

The Alliance front office is considering firing their computerized managers as well as his first and third base coaches.  No less than 4 Rebels were run down on the base paths getting caught trying to do too much, and the manager made a controversial decision late in the game to sub in Mookie Wilson for the red-hot Lombardozzi who homered again in this game.

The Rebels have also officially put IF Tommy Herr on probation as he produced yet another sub-standard performance. 

[Re-Peat]

The Wisconsin Classic was a white-knuckle slugfest until the very end with a 2 out come-from-behind victory for the Alliance.  With 2 out and down 2 runs in the bottom of the 9th Calvin Schirialdi managed to get a blooper single that set up an Alan Trammel HR to tie the game, then Eric Davis doubled and was driven in by Wade Boggs for the win.

The Banana Hammocks brought the thunder with perennial favorite Andre Dawson getting on base with every at bat, although the most picked man in the league Phil Garner only managed to go 1-5 with 1 RBI. 

The game was a comedy of errors as both teams had difficulty in the field resulting in scored runs as well as more over-aggressive antics on the basepaths. 

The real story of the game was in Rookie manager Turd's #2 pitcher pick, Roger Clemens.  As a rookie last year Re-Peat found out the hard way the kind of liability Clemens was for any team he was on, and this year looks no different.  The 12 runs given up between the 5th and 7th innings were a result of Clemens coming into the game, included in the barrage of hits was Tommy Herr's first home run, helping his cause in the clubhouse.   

[Re-Peat]

OK...  6am.  Time to go to sleep.  I'll finish out the Rebel's spring training tomorrow.

Sally Cunts destroy the Empire 21-13 in Spring Training action.

The Empire is in trouble this year.  Not a good squad.

[Darky]

Whoa, awesome preseason classic in Wisconsin RePeat. Is there a dome these players can play at in Madison?

The Imperial invitational will continue today.

Also, I'm involved in the structuring of a Champions League ROM tournament involving the finalists or playoff participants from seasons III-V. Season II is up in the air because only 8 teams were in that league which means that the league was much leaner as well as the teams.

Nonsense. One game dude. I'll run a 2 gamer between our teams right now. Each game using a different SP. Home and away.

[Mike D.]

Your team just isn't very good.

Cunts beat the Poopydicks, 22-18.  Seems like the PDicks have a great offense, but their pitching is more than suspect.

[Darky]

Gantry, any idea on the team colors for the Poopydicks?

I just ran a game with the number 2 SP---Viola vs Sutclf. It was a tight game until the Cunt's bullpen came in.

Next game I'll be the home team with Sabes starting vs Nando.

We have an average team. I wouldn't say we are any worse than that and we are definitely not going to go 15-7 this year like last year, but I think we are good enough to reach the playoffs---like anyone else. Wide open league this year. It'll depend on who comes out to play on the day I run the rom for a season game. Random numbers generator'D!

[Nacho]

I just ran a pre-season sim and the Sally Cunts shut down the Empire by a score of 97-0.  The Empire just doesn't have any fight in them this year.

[Darky]

Tight game again. Nando vs Sabes. The game went in our favor once the Cunt's bullpen came in.

[Mike D.]

An Empire in shambles???

Cunts mercy rule GE, 23-11 in 7 innings.

[Nacho]

WOW! Cunts blast the Empire 143-1 in 2 innings.
