RBI Farce

While 5 games to 4 is by no means an ass-kicking, I'll go ahead and give Ben his delusions of grandeur. Technically, I was defeated. Although, if you examine the evidence game by game, I could have easily won 8 of the 9 games. Let's not forget that I was Houston in one game for God's sake! If it weren't for Ben and his damn pick-off moves, we'd be talking about how many double digit strikeout games I pitched. I'm not complaining, but Ben favors teams with power hitters. He'll either hit a home run or strikeout. I tend to favor more balanced teams with more consistent hitters and reliable pitchers. Which choice do you believe is in line with the spirit of RBI baseball?

All I know, is that next week will be a different story. No more boneheaded running goofs. No more right-handed strikeouts from "Sbrhgn". No more fielding goofs on routine fly balls. Next week is all business. Nine game sweep time, perhaps?

It sounds to me, o'bearded one as you have just issued a call for the clash of the non-titans. Do I hear a call for SL vs. HO? Or perhaps CA vs. SF?

It's always sad to hear excuses of how things should've been done. If we're playing that game, then perhaps we should be discussing the miscasting of that jackass "Hud" from this weekend's movie magic?

See you on the field - and we'll be flipping a coin to see who gets SL.

And power hitters? Wasn't I BO when you were DT?!? Are you talking abou the power of the Gedman?

And what about AM vs. NA? I recall Murphy coming in for you as well as Guerro, Gynn and more. The truth lies in the pitching, folks. The apprentice has become the master and the old master has grown a beard and is heading for the desert and seclusion. Oh that's right, a Star Wars reference has been played.

So sad that you've resorted to such attacks to justify the loss. I once new a Karl that laughed and cried - but he did it for the love of the game...not the wins.

I think teams should be chosen and stuck with. The series begins...best of 121 games.
