You'll do like me and get your 3 wins back.

JoeDirt is a push over.

Alright Gantry the Pantry--you can't hide from me any longer.  Today officially ends the week.

When do you want your ass whopping?

[Gantry]

Later this afternoon my friend, perhaps the evening.  Getting a couch from my sister and helping to install a sump pump at my moms house.  After that, it's on...

[JoeDirt]

Email/PM when ready...I'll be semi-around.

[Ryno23]

I find it weird that someone used the term "sump pump."

Is this like a penis pump?   Only for sumps?

Finally got the clash of the titans series in:  JoeDirt vs.  Dee Nee Himself, Mr. Gantry.

Game One:  JoeD gets up early, 3-0, but Gantry hits back-to-back-to-back with Jackie Clark, The Straw, and Canseco, to take a 4-3 lead.  Gantry extends lead to 7-3 when the game freezes after 8 complete.  Gantry fixes game, 'cause he's good at computer shit.  JoeD hits a few bombs in bottom of ninth, but cannot overcome. 

PoopyButts win game 1: 7-6.

PB HRs: JClark, Straw, Canseco, Lindeman
JD HRS: Mattingly, McGwire, Mitchell

Game Two: Electric Boogaloo: JoeD is pissed about loss and comes out spitting nails (not the person) and firing bombs.  JoeD hits 5 solo shots in the first 3 innings, a victory of 7-3.

PB HRs: Canseco (2), Lindeman
JD HRs: Mattingly, McGwire (2), Mitchell, Guerrero, Hrbek

Game Three: "The rubber match."  Canseco continued his steroid abuse and mashed two more HRs, for a total of 5 on the series.  Mitchell stayed close behind, hitting his 3rd and 4th of the series and giving JoeDirt the series victory by winning the final game 6-3.  I guess Gantry owes me some rubbers? 

PB HRs: Canseco (2), HJohnson
JD HRs: Mitchell (2), Kruk, Trammell

[Ryno23]

dogs and farm animals of ohio beware:  joe dirt will soon have a new pack of rubbers.

Finally, a series without a sweep.

[Gantry]

It was definitely a great series, JoeD is tough as hell.  This isn't the straight pitch I'm used to, that's for sure.  Two strike slowballs make a huge difference, that with the lag keeps the scores lower.  JoeD simply outpitched me, I couldn't hit Nolan Ryan for shit.  Much more slowballs/fastballs than I'm used to

If I were to do this draft again, I would take Ryan in the first round.  There is a huge difference between a starter with speed and my Sutcliffe/Big Daddy combo.  When I had Garrelts in, he was almost impossible to hit. 

But all in all, this is going to be a great league.  I learned quite a bit in 3 games already and the style of play is new and exciting.  I say Dee-Nee!

[Ryno23]

Well I don't feel so bad about JoeD constantly whipping my ass.

For whatever reason  I can't hit Nolan or 'Nando.


Before the season is through, it will be obvious that Nolan Ryan is the league MVP.

Noah G & Parish State:

Your screen shots show that you had a total of 31 homeruns in your 3 games.  The home run hitters you listed only add up to 30 home runs.
Was there an inside the park home run that was not counted or something?

Please let me know if a player hit an additional home run so I can update the stats for week 1.

[Baines]

Looking at the screens, it looks like I missed one in game 3.  I have no clue who it was since by that point I was drinking pretty heavily over the fact that I was getting my ass handed to me in straight pitch.
