Fantasy League Week 10

[Mike D.]

Myself as well.

We'll have to limit it to 10 teams, unless someone else can think of a way to work having the league have more teams that we have players to fill roster spots...But we'll cross that bridge when we get to it...

I'd say maybe you could combine NES and Arcade rosters...

But you still can't have more than 10 teams on 1 ROM.

You'd have to run 2 ROMs and switch who is on each ROM every week to make sure that the teams playing each other are on the same ROM.  Not to mention that the time involved to run a league of more than 10 teams (20 teams would be 10 games each week?) and to update and manage 2 ROMs.

[JoeDirt]

Shut up, Ultimate!  Who asked you?!

[BeeJay]

You could have a National and American league, run by separate people, with the two champs meeting up in the WS.  It would be like the good old days, before Bud Selig and all the shitty expansion teams.

[JoeDirt]

That's a great idea!

[fightonusc]

I was debating an option like what BeeJay proposed. Basically, two different leagues each each draw from the RBI roster, with league winners meeting in the World Series (and maybe some interleague play). So, you could have two teams playing in the World Series, each with Reggie Jackson on their roster, for example.

Video of the Stiffs/Poopydicks game is on the Web site. Recap later.

Good game, Nando did well

Game Summary:

It took eight innings for The Stiffs' bats to wake up, but they woke up in time. The Stiffs scored nine runs in the final two innings to defeat The Poopydicks 16-11 in a Fantasy RBI League game played Wednesday afternoon at Tengen Stadium.

Kent Hrbek's solo home run in the top of the ninth was the go-ahead run for The Stiffs (7-3), who remained tied with The Nimrods for first place with the victory. Hrbek homered twice, while Bob Brenly drove in four.

The Poopydicks (4-6) received a quiality outing from Fenando Valenzuela in his first game with the team. In three innings of relief, the rotund screwballer gave up one earned run on five hits. Ruppert Jones and Darrell Evans each homered and drove in four for The Poopydicks.

Willie Hernandez and Donnie Moore putting up zeros in the 8th and 9th! Good game

[Mike D.]

Donnie Moore won't kill himself this week!

Hey fighton...just curious, do you have a program that generates this extremely detailed box scores, or do you have to take serious notes of each game and then type 'em up?  Either way--great job!

[fightonusc]

I found a program called Baseball ScoreBook that has a free shareware demo version. Basically, I can't save the final boxes as text files (I'd have to buy the program to be able to do that), so I just take a screen grab of the box and post it.

[fightonusc]

The OC vs. ShitPaws game is completed, and the video is up at the site. I'll post the box score later today.

[fightonusc]

Game Summary:

Home field advantage hasn't always meant much in the Fantasy RBI League. But it did on Thursday for Da ShitPaws after The OC scored two runs in the top of the 11th inning. When George Bell and Don Mattingly both lined out with the bases loaded, and with Eric King tiring, the home advantage gave Da ShitPaws a chance to win the game in the bottom of the inning.

Which they did, as Tim Teufel drilled a walk-off single off the left center field wall to drive in Tony Armas and give Da ShitPaws a 15-14 victory and sole possession of third place. Da ShitPaws (6-4) remained a game back of the league leaders while picking up their fifth consecutive victory.

The loss ruined the homecoming of former ShitPaws slugger Mike Schmidt, traded to The OC (5-5) for Terry Pendleton earlier in the season.  Schmidt hit a pair of home runs and drove in four in his first game against his former team. Pendleton had a much rougher game, going 1-for-7.

Da ShitPaws had a balanced offense. They were again led by Tony Armas, who homered and drove in three as part of a 5-for-7 afternoon.

as napoleon dynamite would say:  dang

[fightonusc]

I would fire your third base coach, immediately. You lost at least three runs off of shoddy baserunning.

Video of the BeefMaster/Fighting Tony Danzas game is up on the site. We had our first stolen base of the year, so that's interesting...
