Fantasy RBI Baseball playoffs

[GreatScott]

Ok, I understand the dig about me not being around for the draft.  But at the time I was looking for a job and I had limited online access.  You have to remember the draft was delayed for sometime.  I couldnt put my life on hold for Fantasy RBI (I realize that sounds crazy to some of you).  Besides, ive made some good waiver wire moves and shook up my lineup more than once to get production (all those detractors to brenley hitting lead off can note a 5-5 day with 4 runs).  But still, I understand you resenting that I didnt do all my drafting.  But the rest of your comment are just untrue.  I had been with dee-nee long before this league.  As for my interests, yes the RBI baseball is my favorite category.  Im just not into the anythting goes or ncaa wrestling posts.  Does that mean im a lousy member at dee-nee? 
So you want a rivalry pal ... ok fine.  The stiffs have no respect for a team that snuck its way into the playoffs with a .500 record.  Frankly Doc Gooden has carried your team far as its gonna go.  He will be shelled, John Morris will go yard again, and Donnie Moore will finally get the world series berth he deserved.  GO STIFFS

You have to remember the draft was delayed for sometime. 

because of you

I couldnt put my life on hold for Fantasy RBI (I realize that sounds crazy to some of you). 

two words:  proxy picks.  And by the way, i had end of the month paperwork and other things to do but still found time to honor my draft position.

Besides, ive made some good waiver wire moves

out of necessisity for drafting a bad team.

I understand you resenting that I didnt do all my drafting. 

good.

Im just not into the anythting goes or ncaa wrestling posts.  Does that mean im a lousy member at dee-nee?

yes, well mostly it makes you an aloof fantasy team owner. 

The stiffs have no respect for a team that snuck its way into the playoffs with a .500 record. 

we prefer the term, "#3 Seed"  and seeing as you're number 2, can't make you very happy.  this is the playoffs and regular season records don't mean a thing now.

almost forgot

maybe that should be your team's name, or motto, because that's the philosophy that starts at the top.    hey stiffs, why didn't you guys show up on time for game #3?   

almost forgot

exactly.

The OC and the Stiffs really hate each other.  It's been that way for all ages.

[Gantry]

I never met an OC that liked a Stiff, and vice versa.  This violence needs to stop...

[GreatScott]

Enough of this tit for tat bullshit.  Lets let the fantasy rbi bats do the talking. 

[TβG]

I agree, we'll sweep it at home and eliminate the need for talking.

[fightonusc]

As commissoner, there will be harsh consequences if I start to see an ugly beanball war break out in Game 4.

[GreatScott]

My boys plan on playing a good clean game. 

[TβG]

can we start one in game 3?  beacause we've only played games 1, and the game formerly known as game 1, according to the video page on the site. 

just messing with you fighton.  our fans are eager to call the stiffs hotel rooms at 3 in the morning trying to keep them up all night, and will blast sirens outside their windows and do all the other dirty tricks that fans play on rival teams.

Game 3 of the BeefMaster/Nimrods series is up at the site. Box score and recap to follow.

Game Summary:

BeefMaster's bullpen had been incredible in the first two games of their opening round playoff series against The Nimrods. But in Game 3 on Monday at BeefMaster Stadium, the bullpen collectively didn't have their best stuff, and The Nimrods certainly used that to their advantage to get back into the series. The Nimrods used six and five run innnings to pull away from BeefMaster 20-13 and close the gap to 2-1 in the Best-of-Five series.

League MVP Andre Dawson found his regular season form for The Nimrods after a recent stretch of games that were lackluster for him. He hit three home runs and drove in five as part of a 4 for 6 day, while also scoring three runs. Will Clark has 5 for 6, including a pair of solo home runs, as The Nimrods piled up a total of 31 hits on the BeefMaster pitching staff.

Meanwhile, The Nimrods received a yeomanlike effort from Rick Reuschel in relief, as he went five innings and gave up five runs to put a hold on any thoughts of a BeefMaster comeback.

Glenn Davis belted a pair of home runs and drove in four to lead the BeefMaster offense. BeefMaster can still clinch a place in the Fantasy RBI Baseball World Series with a victory in either of the series' final two games.

good to see a team fight back ... instead of rolling over and dying like the eagles

[fightonusc]

Those Nimrods have shown heart all season - I didn't think they'd just let BeefMaster take them out like that...

...man, i didn't think he meant THAT clean.  seriously, zero-zilch-nil-nothing is about as clean as you can get.

Game Summary:

For all of the growing tensions that threatened to heat up the Fantasy RBI Baseball playoff series between The OC and The Stiffs, it came down to the best pitcher in the league to cool things down. Cy Young winner Dwight Gooden put on one of the greatest pitching performances in postseason history, throwing a four-hitter to lead The OC to a 10-0, six-inning rout over The Stiffs on Tuesday at Anaheim Stadium. With the victory, The OC took a 2-1 lead in the Best-of-Five series and moved one game away from a trip to the World Series.

Gooden struck out four, including three in the third inning, in turning in a staggeringly dominant performance. Only two Stiffs runners reached second during the entire game, and Bob Brenly's leadoff double to start the game was The Stiffs' only extra base hit of the game. Additionally, Gooden also recorded four put outs and three assists on defense, and added a single and a run on offense.

Kirby Puckett and George Bell each hit two-run homers for The OC, while Jim Rice added a solo shot. Every OC starter had at least one hit.

[fightonusc]

I just want to point out, again, that Doc Gooden is the fucking man. That is all.

[GreatScott]

WOW ... six shutout innings.  I gotta think thats the most amazing achievment this RBI season.  I can only pray the Doc does too much coke and shows up without his heater for the next start.  Who knows ... maybe the drugs are helping.  Whatever the case, I'm gonna try to shake up my lineup once more in an attempt to get something going against this stud. 

1 Canseco
2 Clark
3 Hrbek
4 Joyner
5 Spilman
6 Downing
7 Brenley
8 Morris

I would also like to slip Willie Hernandez into the long relief spot, make cox my setup reliever, and let Donnie Moore close.  The Stiffs will not go down like the birds ... we still believe.

i love it when i click on the video page and i see a short game in less than four segments... that usually means doc has turned out the lights.
