Houston....

Clarify.  The fact that you'd "play with Ho before Ny, Sf, Sl, and Mn," certainly means you like Ho better, but does it mean you think Ho is better than those teams?  That would put Ho 6th best at worst.

Yeah I think my rankings would go...(ATG, 2SP, Infield Fly)

Bo
Ca
Dt
Ho
Mn
Sf
StL
NY

Thats top to bottom from whom I think is best to worst.

You're not that far from OH...let's play for some money sometime!

Your reputation as a dirty cheater makes me think twice about this...

I cant say I've ever really gambled on RBI, and actually TBT says you are about as good as anyone on earth...so of course I'd love to play you, but could in no way just go into this betting blindly...

[JoeDirt]

Okay, then I'll give you your 6th best team and you can chose my team!

[TbT]

all this houston talk is crazy.

yes Hou has a pretty nice staff.  tons of stamina and skill. 
However, Tengen field is a phone booth.  Houston can actually be pitched to on a regular basis.  I think occasionally Hou can hang with the big teams for a game or 2, but not very often.  *edit*.  a 4-1, or 4-2 loss to Det/Bos is not what i would consider hanging with either.   Especially if Hou gets down by 3 or more runs at any time during the game.  Hou would need to hold those team regularily to 2 runs, occasionally 3 to have a shot.

even against SF, NY, MIN theres just enuf hitters there that u will get burnt sooner or later.  Over a best of 7, i'll take those teams before Hou.  Im not saying they cant compete, but i am saying that they are inferior in the long run. sooner or later thier offensive ineptitudes will be your demise.  There was the guy who threw a no-hitter at the cotut with Hou vs STL, but he was probably lucky to an extent if he pitched to Jack Clark all 3 times.  Thats why Hou is a bottom feeder to me.

Octo played some amazing ball with Min today, I was Detroit.

It was a quick series, and we were both in relative rushes (I had just woken up from a nap), but that doesn't change the fact that Octo smacked out 7 home runs (including three with Laudner) in the second game of the series en route to a 15-1 slaughter in 8 innings (the game was 4-1 until giving up eleven runs in the 7th and 8th innings, including five off of a fresh Hernandez).

Minnesota's good.

[TbT]

15-1.  ouch.  ive never been clobered like that, but would guess that A LOT of things went horribly wrong in that game/inning(on top of the 7 homers). 

I have given up 10 or 11 runs before in a game.  it's not a nice feeling at all to be lambasted like that. 

[TbT]

I also leave hatcher in.  fuck it, he's fast and i pray to the lord host of the horry neatherworld that it will translate to 1 stinking run during a game.

Lopes almost always takes the spot in the order right after Bass.

[Darky]

I like using Hou. I can put up 6-9 runs with them on anyone....anytime. I do use a different hitting approach with them. I never try for the long ball with them. Everything is up the middle. Hou is a basehit/gap hitting team. And they can cause the most havoc on the basepaths. Of course, it all comes down to pitching.

Hou can compete with anyone if you have mastered all the disciplines of pitching and hitting. They play a different game, and if you can get an early lead with Hou, then it becomes that much easier.

[JoeDirt]

Anybody who says that they can put up 6-9 runs with Ho on anyone clearly hasn't played at the highest level.

true...winning with houston is all about pitching...and scoring MAYBE three runs...

Wow. Getting a bit personal there guy. Somebody seems insecure there.

I am just stating my case why I would have the best hand eye cordination. That's all. You make it to what ever you want it to be.

[JoeDirt]

How am I getting personal?  I'm saying that you play the prof. baseball card thing too much...

Anyway, come to the OH tourney and clean up, if you're so good!

I'll take the rest of this to the national tourney thread.

Darkside is that guy who brags so much about how good he is, that he cant actually be worth a shit...

also....how does playing baseball make you a better video game player??  The hand eye thing is horseshit....I guarantee my reflexes are sharper than yours are, and they've been developed solely through playing video games....
