lol---well played.

Yeah, we'll see how I feel in the next couple of days. Indefinite break since "shit" has happened. Sorry, but I'm sure I'll get in the boxscores and recaps soon enough. Just need to feel out some info that just came to me.

Rebel Alliance overwhelm Sally Cunts in the 9th


Minneapolis (AP) - The Sally Cunts overcame a 10-1 deficit in the 4th inning and took a comfortable 20-14 lead going into the top of the 9th. The disaster struck when RP King took the bump to preserve the lead and help the Cunts to victory.

With no outs and Boggs at first base, Shrdr hit a liner at second baseman Pndltn. Pndltn BOP'd and what went from a double play opportunity became a momentum changer. The Alliance went on to score 11 runs off 10 hits in the 9th, and the highlight of the inning was W.Boggs' grandslam that put up the Alliance 23-20. Shrdr then doubled, Herr followed up with a RBI triple, and Tramml hit an RBI ground out to give the Alliance a 25-20 lead going into the last half of the 9th.

Shrld came in the 9th to pick up the win. After giving up back-to-back HR's to Raines and Pndltn, he shut the door on the Cunts to complete the last inning comeback.


Rebel Alliance 6-8, (4-4)
Sally Cunts 7-7, (5-4)

Official scoring nitpick: I believe Orosco should technically be the winning pitcher for the game, with Schiraldi maybe getting a save - when a team takes the lead, it's their previous pitcher who becomes the pitcher of record.

Solid cunting job by the Alliance there.

The score was 14-14 after 7½ innings. Orosco gave up 6 runs in 1 IP, and the Cunts went up 20-14. Shrld preserved a 25-20 lead and only gave up 2 runs in 1 IP. Shrld gets the win in my book.

[BeefMaster]

That's fine, and I agree that Orosco sucked; I'm just being difficult based on the rulebook definition.  It's similar to the situation when a closer blows a save in the top of the ninth but his team comes back to win in the bottom half (or if he blows the lead in the bottom of the ninth, his team scores a run in the top of the tenth, and another reliever closes out the game) - he gets credit for the "win" even though he basically failed at his job.

I know technically I was wrong, but in my way of being rational---I felt that Shrld deserved the win. I have this power to credit him the win

And I'm about to score your game next...ugh. That's going to take a few <lol'd>

[BeefMaster]

Yeah... Todd Worrell did you no favors in that ninth inning.

Fighting Ulrachers grab first place with record setting 16-run 9th inning


San Luis Obispo (AP) - In a Gantry league first place showdown between the Fighting Ulrachers and the OC Legions of Doom, the Ulrachers shocked the OC with a record setting 16-run 9th inning and scored a FRBI all-time high of 33 runs to overpower the OC 33-16.

The Ulrachers held a 9-2 lead after 4½ innings, but the OC clawed back to make it 9-8. After 6½ innings, the Ulrachers went up 16-11, and the OC responded with 5 runs to even up the showdown at 16.

In the 8th, J.Cruz came off the bench to deliver a pinch hit solo shot to give the Ulrachers a slim 17-16 lead. Corbett then came in out of the pen for the Ulrachers to hold the tight lead in the 8th. He pitched an impressive scoreless inning and held the powerful OC bashers.

In the 9th, history was made.

T.Worrel came in to keep the game close for the OC, unfortunately after 16 hits and 16 runs, the OC crowd was shocked with disbelief. This kind of unprecedented explosion is to be expected by the OC who are first in offense in the FRBI league, but the Ulrachers flexed their own muscles and made a strong statement with a relentless storm of doubles and runs to take a 33-16 lead going into the last half of the 9th.

Corbett pitched another scoreless inning and just like that, the Fighting Ulrachers are now in sole possession of first place.

D.Thon had 7 RBI's from the 8-hole and D.Evans belted a pair of shots and registered 6 RBI's. The Ulrachers outscored the OC 17-0 in the last two innings.


Fighting Ulrachers 9-5, (6-3)
OC Legions of Doom 8-6, (4-4)

[ryno]

actually, the official scorer (Darky) has the authority to deny the pitcher a victory in cases such as Orosco's. 

[TβG]

just another game, imo

[BeefMaster]

Honestly, giving up 33 runs concerns me far less than the five scoreless innings do (as well as only hitting five homers).

Damn, I knew I left out something in the recap. That was the first time you guys were out-homered dating back to week 3 or so. You guys had a run of 10 games I think in which you hit 8 homers or more.

[fknmclane]

Pretty sure Todd Worrell "wins" this season.  Holy shit.

[BeefMaster]

Darky, what did that do to Worrell's ERA?

Banana Hammocks use strong pitching in cruising to victory


Oklahoma City (AP) - The Hammocks got great pitching from Tudor and Clemens as they held the Badasses to only 3 runs through 7 innings and held off a late surge to win 12-9 in a non-league game.

The Hammocks took full control of the game in the 6th inning when they scored 5 runs to go up 10-3. In the 8th, the Hammocks added 2 more runs to increase their lead to 12-3. The Badasses finally scored off Clemens with a 4-run 8th inning to cut the deficit 12-7. In the 9th, Clemens was forced out of the game after he allowed 2 runs, but Stanly came in to preserve the victory as he picked up the save.

Not much happened offensively for both teams, but the difference may have been Clemens going 2-3 with a double, 1 RBI, and a run as well as extending the 6th inning rally.

The Hammocks remain in a tie for third place with the Alliance and only one game behind the Poopydicks. The final push down the stretch to see who makes the playoffs should provide plenty of drama since second and third place is still wide open. Of course, this is assuming that the Empire does not collapse from their stronghold on first place.

Meanwhile, the Awesome Badasses remain two games behind the Cunts and Blue Ribbons who share third place in the Gantry league.


Banana Hammocks 6-8, (4-5)
Awesome Badasses 5-9, (1-7)

Fighting Artichokes breeze to victory


Phoenix (AP) - The Fighting Artichokes have climbed out of the cellar and have positioned themselves to make a probable playoff push once again.

Down 7-2 after 2 innings, The Artichokes rallied for 8 runs in the 3rd inning to take a 10-7 lead and never looked back as they had an easy time with the Poopydicks with their 21-14 crucial Dove RBI league victory.

Down 16-8 in the 6th, the Poopydicks threatened with a 6 run rally to cut the deficit 16-14, but that would be the last time they crossed home plate. B.Ojeda pitched 3 scoreless innings down the stretch with an assortment of off-speed pitches, and the Artichokes added 2 runs in the 7th, and 3 runs in the 8th thanks to back-to-back HR's by Burks and Schfld.

Despite the loss, the Poopydicks remain in second place by 1 game over the Banana Hammocks and the Alliance. The Fighting Artichokes remain in last place, but are only one game behind the Alliance and Hammocks, and 2 games behind the Poopydicks. With a lot of baseball left, nothing is for sure in the Dove RBI league---except for the likely-hood of the Empire winning the division for a third time in a row since they old a three game lead in first place.


Fighting Artichokes 5-9, (2-6)
Poopydicks 7-7, (5-4)

[Gantry]

I'm SOOO tired about hearing about the Poopydicks

[Darky]

I'm going to score the last game right now then recap it, then I'll set up the week 15 thread. Week 15 will happen today and more than likely in about 3 hours. Time to get the ball rolling again.
