Down 9-4 in the bottom of the 9th, Johnny Mize's pinch hit 3-run shot shifted momentum leading to a 7-run rally to give the Sides of Beef a 11-9 lead in which they never relinquished. Soto held down the #1 offensive team in the league in his 5 innings of relief.

Today's slate and our boys of summer! All games will be in that order and gametime is 12pm Dee Nee time. When I run the games, they will directly follow each other to show integrity. For instance, when the Puprle Reign/U7 game is over and the final newspaper scoreboard is showing, I reset the game and go directly into the next game which will be the Empire/Montreal and this sequence will show on YouTube.

As for Twitch, I need a new laptop because I don't have at least 8 GB of DDR3 SDRAM - I only have 6 and that is why when I tried with Twitch, the stream was horrible. No worries, Darky gonna buy a new laptop soon enough. We NEED TO GO LIVE!


Today's slate of games for week 8 features a 1st place contest, a 2nd place battle, and a battle between the last place team and next to last place team. Huge day and may the Force bless the Empire! I'll need Guidry to be at his best and prove that he is an elite pitcher - he currently is #2 in ERA - V.Blue is #1. But the story of the day is the 1st place battle between the Hulk Hogans (GDavis) and the Blue Footed Boobies (nomaaa). The Blue Foots are first in ERA and the Hulksters are #2.

Any trades that may happen would mean that the traded players will play on their new teams in week 9. And we are almost at the halfway point for this 18 game season!

* Steely Dans Revenge will play at home. The schedule generator I used is dumb.

Gametime has been pushed back to 12pm since I won't be home in time and that I gotta fix Ryno's lineup. Expect the games to be published around 1:15 pm - takes a hour to run all the games then about 15 minutes to YouTube them.

How the dice rolled today for Week 8!

MOTHER FUCKER

[BeefMaster]

I hadn't watched any of Ryno's games before they played me... holy shit, when McGwire and Maris make solid contact with a ball, it goes a long damn ways.

[Darky]

1 hit from Hank Aarron ... 1 MEASLY HIT! And big bad Hack Wilson hits three singles. Really? He showed up to the park with a damn kilt with all those singles. I needed bombs, any, from either of those two. We put up a good fight. Guidry wasn't at his best and Drysdale did okay after 1 big 7-run inning. My team matches up good with Montreal since I saw a bunch of splits in simulated games, but the dice didn't roll our way today. Mickey Mantle dropped another 3 bombs I think. All he does is hit bombs. I think he is on his way to shatter the 12 game record from past leagues. I'll look it up, but I think Dawson had 22 in a 12-game season. Mantle already has 19 if I am not mistaken.

The Hulksters made a statement today! The arcade version of Mike Scott is better than the NES version. He had another complete game. That's 3 now.

And the Spiders finally win a game with some heroics!

Ryno's lineup change didn't roll his way.

2:40 in my game...I've never seen that glitch before in my life.

[ryno]

More changes coming.   My team is not good...

[Shooty]

At 7:30 in the Purple Reign game, Cedeno rounds third even though the other team had already touched the ball.  Weird.

I saw a similar glitch in week 6 or 7. With a runner at 3rd, a line drive was hit right at the 3rd baseman with one out. After making the catch, the third baseman threw it into RF and right at the RF. The guy on third tagged and scored! I have never ever seen that kind of glitch.

At 7:30 in the Purple Reign game, Cedeno rounds third even though the other team had already touched the ball.  Weird.

I thought I saw something odd. I'll have another look, but I do remember seeing something that shouldn't have happened. It was like my mind didn't comprehend what just happened because you don't expect that kind of thing and I just shrugged it off and watched the next pitch. 


In fact, the game display has been shit on my emulator. It's been real choppy, static, and basically not clean when running the games. So I looked over my emulator and I discovered I was running the 0.95 VirtualNes. I just downloaded the newest version 0.97 and ran a game and the broadcast was beautiful! So for week 9, the broadcast of the games will be easy on the eyes and a lot of those glitches should be gone. Sorry about that.

Canseco's mammoth day of 4 HRs and Purple Reign bullpen propel Nacho's team to a .500 record and into 5th place.

[Shooty]

Thoughts on my teams hitting:
Maranville - he's fine but may move him out of the leadoff spot.  He's not putting the ball on the ground enough or getting on base to my liking anymore
Mantle - BEAST!  Most reliable power threat on my team
Gehrig - kind of disappointed in him so far.  He's good but not putting the ball in the air enough.  But still getting his hits.
Jackson - he's been good.  Fairly consistent from game to game.  Good for 3-4 hits and at least one dinger a game.
Matthews - he's been good.  Not as much power as I would like but he seems to be a doubles machine.  Probably my second best hitter
BWilliams - disappointing.  He should be doing a lot better than what he has been.
Tenace - he's weird.  He has 870 power and shit speed but most his hits are opposite field seeing eye doubles
Sax - he's shitty but not as shitty as assumed.  If he hits .400 or more I'm fine.

Rabbit is still overachieving. When he goes (and if Sax contributes in any capacity) your team is unbeatable. Mantle is basically hitting every ball he sees out of the park. He's having a MVP season so far. Maybe the updated emulator will fix the glitch!!! Other than that, good analysis - I'd say Reggie has been great. Your weakness is your pitching. Your pitching isn't horrible, but they can be a liability. They will have good outings though (your SP's) and Hubbel is solid out of the pen.

Your boxscore is coming in 5.

[Darky]

Offensive firepower of Mickey Mantle, Gehrig, Reggie Jackson, and Mathews too much for the Empire. Mantle strengthens MVP case with 3 blasts to increase league leading homeruns at 19 in 8 games.

[Shooty]

Darky, surprised at how many of your regulars are hitting under .500.  Some big names that are underperforming.  Time for a trade?

[Nacho]

When do we get to see some league leaders in the major categories?

[Darky]

When do we get to see some league leaders in the major categories?

I'll post them in about 4-7 hours. I still need to score 3 games and then generate the league leaders categories. Bear in mind I am at work and some drama has happened today ... which meant it has gone slower than anticipated with the scoring.

Also, any lineup changes - get them in sometime today. Week 9 happens tomorrow around noon time my time which means 5am Dee Nee time. It is possible that I may run week 9 at 4pm Dee Nee time - depends on how work and free time unfolds tomorrow.

[Nacho]

Darky's doing great work, here.

After this league is done, any chance you'll run the league that we drafted after this one? I was excited about my "Ye Old Stylers" team.
