RBI "Straight Pitch" League-Draft

[Ryno23]

The Hoggs select Kirk Gibson

[JoeDirt]

Maybe it'd help if we each put who is up next after our picks are made...

Stockw19 is now up...

Damn you retards.  Lips is up.

[Lips]

Ryno23, I'm not going to lie...I was fucking hoping badly to get Gibson with my second pick.  With every pick that went by, I was like "Yes!!"

I honestly don't like anyone here for my #2 pick, but The Thundercats have to select someone.  And without further adieu...

The Thundercats select RBI, Jim Rice.

Nails is up with two picks.  I'll be around later tonight to get my next pick in, after Nails (if he picks tonight).

I truly wanted Rice with my next pick, so screw you!

Peter Gammons is reporting that a trade is in the works between The Thundercats and The Hoggs that would send Jim Rice to the Hoggs in exchange for Kirk Gibson and a lifetime supply of pudding. Gammons is also reporting that CurtFlood like rocks, and that little gimlet crispy crumbs are now attacking his wrench holder. I think Peter Gammons might have Alzheimers, myself...

The hold up is that the Thundercats are offering just plain chocolate pudding.  The Hoggs, being the pudding experts they are, are demanding that sweet ass parfait style pudding with three different flavors.

[BeeJay]

ummmmm, ass pudding.

[Nails]

Sorry for the delay.  I had to stop by the bar after work.  Since I can't have Kirk Gibson (bastards), i'll take a pair of Giants:

1. Chili Davis
2. Will Clark


 

[Nails]

Lips is back up.

[Ryno23]

wasn't it lips who said he'd be on tonight for the draft?

[Baines]

I'm back now fellas.  Sorry about the delay this afternoon, Thursdays are kinda shitty for me as work/class/driving have me gone from 9am until 10pm.  Thankfully though I now have no responsibilities until Monday.  Other than drinking and and being the best RBI general manager I can be.

[Ryno23]

one of these years we will complete the draft.

[Lips]

Yeah, a thought-to-be one hour dinner with the parents went way longer than expected.  My aunt and uncle were in town.  Sorry...

Anyways...the Lips Bitch Slapping continues, as I thought for sure Will Clark would still be around for this pick.  But of course, no.  Thank you, Nails.  Good drafting.

So The Thundercats will reach this round, partly because they want to see this bench player have a permanent spot on a starting roster and also because team captain, Potatoes, wants a Cali teammate aboard.  And we really don't want to upset Reggie at this point.

The Thundercats select Rupperto!

[Nails]

An excellent choice.

[Nails]

Ryno is up

[Ryno23]

Tim Raines

[Nails]

Stock is up.

[Stock]

Dammit Ryno.
Can't believe you did that to me.  This was going to be my opportunity to bring some speed to my team.

I'll take Bruno.  He still looks like grease lightning compared to my first 2 picks.

JoeDirt, you are up.

[Stock]

JoeDirt just shot me an email from work,

"Crud.  Tell a-hole Ryno that I was holding out for Raines.  Put me down for some Fatty Herbek"

Gantry, your pick.

[Ryno23]

Hahahahah!   Raines wasn't even on my draft radar screen.

I was debating between Bruno and Hrbek.   I actually typed "Bruno" then said, what the fuck, give me more speed.
