The All-RBI Team

[Eazy E]

Granted I'm not the biggest RBI guy here, (just look at my number of posts) but as far as I know, no one has addressed the All-RBI Team. (I man be wrong) But as Director of Public and Media Relations for the COTUT, here are my selections:

C- Nokes. if 32 HR for a catcher isn't good enough, then nothing is.
1B- Will the Thrill. I love the combo of power with the lefty bat.
2B- Whitaker. By default, I guess.
3B- Gaetti. He runs the bases fast after he hits another dong.
SS- Trammel. No comment needed.
LF- JRice. I'm biased towards Boston, but we can't have D contact here. (Gibson)
CF- CDavis- Speed Kills.
RF- Strawberry. I still think he is the best player in the game.
SP- Tudor. Has the fastest "A curve" pitch.

Stay tuned for the best lineup 1-9.

On the homepage- left side- click rankings- Gantry and co. do have rankings by position and lineup spots.

Bad job by Lips and Potsie to say Boggs at third.  He's terrible.  Tom Brookens is the best third baseman in the game, and doesn't get a mention.

I like Reg over Straw.

I also like GCarter over Nokes clearly.

All four guys picked Darrell Evans over Thrill.  Interesting.  I can't disagree.  Evans power is unfathomable at times.

Wow.  Some of their opinions seem kinda wack to me.  Maybe that's the difference btwn curve and straight pitch.

I agree with Big Apple in that Boggs is a joke as best 3b.  3bers better than Boggs (IMO): Schmidt, Gaetti, Brookens, DeCinces, Mitchell.

That puts Boggs as 5th best...or "middle of the pack."

Anyway, a long long time ago in a thread far far away, we took a poll for each position to determine the best player at each position.

I'm sure ultimate7 will find it for us...

let's not include all-stars here, dirt (schmidt)

[JoeDirt]

Why not?  Is Schmidt not a player on the game?  Let's not drag this into it again...

I'll never understand why people don't like the allstar teams.  One of the very few imperfections with the game is the lack of teams--so why eliminate 20% of them right off the bat?

It's not even like they're so far better than the rest of the field...one could seriously argue that AL is only the 4th best team out of the 10...

JoeD has yet another misspelled Trammell sighting...just follow the link...

Agreed.  My roommate in college always insisted on picking one of the allstar teams, and I always smashed him with Bo, Dt, or Ca.  He played me much better when he would pick one of the first 3 teams.

[Big Apple RBI Champ]

I can beat my girlfriend if she is the All-Star team.  That is as relevant as you bringing up your college roommate. 

No way is the AL the fourth best team.

[BeeJay]

Actually it is relevant because stock said the guy played much better with the first three teams.

[Flood]

And more importantly, our selections shouldn't be limited just because you said so.  Who the fuck are you?  The RBI Messiah? 

[TβG]

let's not include people from new york due to east coast bias either.

Actually, my college roommate was the only person that has EVER been able to consistently beat me at straight pitch.  He has just had much worse luck with the allstar teams.
Granted, this is straight pitch, but I don't think the allstar teams have that great of pitching over the other teams.

[Big Apple RBI Champ]

Jesus Christ, Curt Flood, pipe down.  You're an angry youth.

You dropped an f-bomb on me because I suggest All-Star teams should not be included in an RBI player ranking system, you dickless wonder?

And Stock, with all due respect... straight pitch?   Isn't straight pitch just like bp?  You don't strike anyone out do you?  Unless you throw a splitter, I can't see ever striking someone over the age of 10 out.

Dear Pussy,
First of all, fuck you.  You need to invest in some bigger panties because the one's you're wearing right now are clearly cutting off the oxygen to your brain.  Second, you didn't suggest that we don't include All-Stars...you told JoeDirt not to include them.  I wouldn't have said anything if you were a forum member that I actually respected or cared about...but seeing a nobody like yourself flex his RBI muscle kind of makes me laugh.  Congrats on telling me off though...I'm sure that scored you some real street cred.

Go punch a wall and then quote another stupid movie, Hulkster.

[Flood]

Shouldn't your name be "EX Big Apple RBI Champ"?   

[Big Apple RBI Champ]

Yeah I should change it.  Believe me, I still kick myself every night for choosing to play with NYM instead of CAL.  What a stupid ass move.  I don't want to make excuses though, Bly No No beat me fair and square- I am just pissed at myself.

Are you going to Columbus for the big tourney?

[Armas the King]

If someone cannot win consistently with the AL All Stars, there must be something flawed with their game. . .Especially if they win consistently with the other teams. . Therefore Big Apple comment is correct and comment about Roommate is worthless.

I am indeed going to Columbus, but I don't expect to do well since I haven't played a human opponent in about 5 months.  Are you gonna be there?  If so, drag Gdavis's ass along with you.
