Dee-Nee's vs. Dah Nah's

[Gantry]

Err, make that #100 in this thread, still very impressive!!  

I don't think Jason's comment was towards anyone per se, just a little frustration with getting this thing going.  We shouldn't put too much stock in Dee-Nee-vs-Dah-Nah anyway, at least until we get some consistent Internet play going.  I know nobody here is going to want to play the Dah Nahs...

i dig you on evans my man....hes a machine, and as such, lacks the mobility that many table setters have.....my point was that id rather have my two hitter driving in 5 runs a game on two homers rather than my speedy guy who cant hit it out of the jinfield.....

i think we should make glenn davis our leadoff guy and put vince coleman in the pen.....he doesnt have much heat on the fastball, but hes crafty....like charlie hough...or the kid from "rookie of the year" after he lost his powers...."gardenhoser"....

funky butt lovin....

Vitb6,

  I have always been one to throw gasoline on a fire so here I go again :).....

1.  What rules did we break?  Since when  do your posts become rules, espically since a small minority were even aware that you wrote them
2.  What players didn't get to draft the players they wanted?  Can you prove to the DAH NAH's that the other memebers on your team actually picked those guys?  As I explained before, our team is a forum based team not a neighborhood gang.  Therefore you need to post your pick for our team, if not, then the DAH NAH team picks for you.
3.  Not being able to adjust your lineup after you pick has got to be the most ridiculous idea ever.  Honestly, the idea is just bad.  Both teams should make adjustments if they want.
4.Gwynn sucks in RBI.  Its not like we asked for Dale Murphy.  Besides there were still 10 or more players left in the draft who are better than gywnn so we actually did you guys a favor.  Complaining that we have an allstar is chickenshit.  Would you complain if it was pedqruiq?  Probably.
5. Again, only a small minority of people were aware of your posts.  And again I wasn't aware that your posts instantly became forum rules.   Hell the websites creater wasn't even aware of it.  And your player attributes comment doesn't include right/left.  "ECT", wouldn't hold up in any court.  I could argue that I thought you were ONLY referring catergories in which the attributes in question are measured with a numerical value.  I'm sure if the person drafting was aware that they were selecting a pitcher that was R and that they were L, it is reasonable to assume that they would select someone that threw witht the same arm as themselves.

You pretty much got hammered on all 5 points.  Clearly I make the most compelling arguments.  DAH NAH 1    DEE NEE 0  

[Vitb6]

I am done with this arguement, it is a moot at this point.  But I will respond to one point you made because an idiot can prove you wrong without typing much so here goes:

And your player attributes comment doesn't include right/left.  "ECT", wouldn't hold up in any court.

Really?  It doesn't huh.  Hmmmm, ahem *clears throat* ahem again (to make sure everyone can hear me clearly...my first sentence reads:  

Anyhoo, I think that we should keep the same "handedness" as the player that you pick.

So who are you crapping?  Nice try.  

I have no control over the level of intellectual reading comprehension of those trying to discern my posts.  Those were the rules that I developed because the drafting method did have some holes.  However, it was the easiest (and yes least complex) way to go about things.  Because it had some holes I (along with Lips) thought that whatever player you picked would go right into the lineup that was already set.  If you make your perfect lineup right away then there would never be a reason to sub players.  That is part of the fun of RBI, because who the hell leaves in Spike Owen or Gary Pettis anyway?  But since you are taking this in such a spirted, competitive nature;  it has taken away some of the allure of developing this ROM in the first place.    

I'm being good about not falling into your last post which is clearly there to antagonize and get me riled-up.  I'm not mad and really don't give a shit.  But you're trying to change things that Lips and I made very clear a long time ago, numerous times.  Nobody said anything when they were posted.  Now we have everything done, for better or for worse and we are still at the same point we were last week.  Let's just get this done with already, so we can move on!

Oh and one more thing:

Since when  do your posts become rules

That is a rule in and of itself!  BTW, I wasn't aware that you appointed yourself GOD on the DAH-NAH's side.  I smell an impeachment!

[sucka free]

I'll address a couple of points in no paticular order...

1. Considering that it was my idea to start this rom and that I recruited the players, it is logical to assume that any lineup adjustments would be made by me.  Besides, someone had to step up and move this draft along.  

2.  In a game with 4 good pitchers and 4 good pinch hitters, when wouldn't you want to sub out a pitcher.  With a perfect lineup you still have to bat with the pitcher which is an automatic out.  The opportunites and incentatives to use all 4 pitchers in a game are too great to pass up.

3.  I flat out missed the handedness thing.  My bad.  I'll call it even after you guys stole reggie.

4.  The idea of drafting players into a lineup is really bad and it gives your team a huge advantage because you can all huddle together and talk about it.  We couldn't have that option because out communition is over an open forum.  Still, just on the notion of creating a lineup without players is fundamentally flawed.  

5.  As far as the antagonization goes, you threw the first blow, so the "holy than thou approach" isn't flying.

***either way I am over and done with it.  I have a feeling that we are both simillar in that fact that niether one of us will waiver from our positions.  With that being said, I just say that gantry should make decisions regarding everything since he is the uber god of the site and then jsut make the rom.

props to marquis to in making the rom

[Vitb6]

GOD DAMN IT Sucka, you keep making me post!!

The idea of drafting players into a lineup is really bad and it gives your team a huge advantage because you can all huddle together and talk about it.

You see one of the problems are that you are taking this way too seriously and much more so then us.  If you think that we are talking strategy about who to take, then you are parnoid my friend.  We havn't spoken one word of who other people should take.  Can someone say something about our communication to put SUCKA'S querying mind to ease.

In a game with 4 good pitchers and 4 good pinch hitters, when wouldn't you want to sub out a pitcher.  With a perfect lineup you still have to bat with the pitcher which is an automatic out.  The opportunites and incentatives to use all 4 pitchers in a game are too great to pass up.

Exactly.  In RBI you sub in a guy or 2 or in Boston's case 4 guys off the bench for ACTUAL position players, not just the pitcher.  That is some of the fun.  When it is the 6th inning and you have 2 pitchers left but only 1 bench guy left.  When to pull the pitcher and how long to leave him in...

As far as the antagonization goes, you threw the first blow, so the "holy than thou approach" isn't flying.

This is what really got me going.  Actually, if you scroll back some...VGP listed your LINEUP and your player the way they shuold be.  Then YOU started talking about submitting handedness.  Then LIPITZ (not even me) said "I thought we were using the handedness of the player you picked" (or something to that extent.  I jumped in to concur that Lips was right.  And then YOU started with this shit and then threw out changing the lineups, and wanting to redraft a player (to overthrow one of the forum members pitchers that they picked).  I guess the coach disliked some of the pitchers picks.  So don't say that I started this mess.  For once, I stayed out of it for awhile.

Considering that it was my idea to start this rom and that I recruited the players, it is logical to assume that any lineup adjustments would be made by me.

Again...seriously...no offense but I have to say this to that statement...shut the fuck up, you sound like CLYON!!!!!  Damn that felt good.  Seriously, you sound like that cat and we all know that neither you nor I or anyone else on this forum was in agreement with him on that other debate.  So leave that aside.

Thank goodness we don't have to rely on CLYON to make this ROM.  MARQUIS...PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME EAT MY WORDS!!  :-)

Ok I am officially done responding to this thread FOREVER.  Someone close it down, and delete it.  I will never look at this thread again.  Let's just get Marquis the rosters so he can do his thing with the ROM.  

VITB6 over and out

Taco Bell sucks.

Checkmate!

Daniel LaRusso's gonna fight?!

DANIEL LARUSSO'S GONNA FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sucka free]

vit,

considering you won't get a chance to read this, I'll just say that we are in complete disagreement over pretty much everything.  Either way its over.

[vgp100]

Get him a bodybag! YEAH!!!

[doveRBI]

Why do you guys start all this crap?  We drafted teams so now lets make some roms and play.  As Dave Coulier would say, "Cut-it-out."

[vgp100]

That's where I draw the line. Any Full House comments will be rejected! For the love of god, when will the Full House comments end??

[sucka free]

vgp,

 was the bodybag comment from karate kid 1?  fantastic.

[BeefMaster]

You know, vgp, those kind of comments will only encourage him.  Next thing you know, doveRBI will be doing Bullwinkle impressions or (God forbid) attempting to act vomitously cute, like the Olsen twins.

Speaking of Full House, by the way, what ever happened to Dave Coulier?  He pretty much disappeared off the face of the earth after that show went off the air.  John Stamos disappeared too, but he married Rebecca Romijn, so he has a good reason to never ever leave his house.

[doveRBI]

Gentlemen cut me some slack, though I will chastize myself for making reference to dave coulier, it is not actually uncle joey who first uttered those words.  take the coulierism back to its origin on his MTV show from that early 80's.  does anyone remember the name?

[Lips]

I actually don't think the show was on MTV, maybe it was...but I thought it was Nickelodeon.  And the show was "Out of Control".  I was thinking about this show, right when you said it, dove.

Remember the co-star, with the very long finger nails.  Now, those were nasty.

[Lips]

After thinking about it...I'm pretty sure the co-star had some very annoying make-up, an obnoxious laugh, and chewed gum like a cow (whatever that means).

[Gantry]

And IIRC, Coulier or whatever his name was the original host of America's Funniest People or whatever it was called.   This was right after (or maybe during?) Full House.  Not that I ever watched it, or something...

[BeefMaster]

You're right, Gantry - Dave Coulier was the co-host of "America's Funniest People", along with Tawny Kitaen, the "actress" who beat up Chuck Finley, her baseball-playing husband, last spring.  Best I can recall, "AFP" was an "America's Funniest Home Videos" takeoff, except it was pre-planned stuff, not random stuff that happened to be caught on tape.
