My team had a perfectissimo design...just a few bad rolls

I mean, how else can you explain that amezega won't hit the .200 BA for the season, eh?

Actually I am fairly happy with my Trombones, they held their own with a very funky design. I never like losing seasons but a few rolls another way and the team could've clawed it's way to .500.

So...I don't know, it was my first time around a hitter's park, most hitter friendly park I'd played was Wrigley...so for a first run at Coors...o.k. with it.

Really fun playing my last 05 Season with you guys. Real pleasure seeing the mighty Jerlins in action.

Good luck in the playoffs boyos!

BTW Stoney...nice going with your tour team....same to you Ty -Ev1s since the Ev2 links haven't been posted...maybe for the better since in 6 games in Ev2 I have been whipped around like crazy

Report abuse I picked a hitters park... 03 May 2006 14:39

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

for my last team of 06'(Actually i am in a game 5 in the 1st round in another league) just so I wouldn't have to think much about lineups or per game starters too much - and the record clearly shows I neither have the slightest clue as to how to win in a hitters park whether I pay attention or not.

It is likely you won't find me in one again for another 25 or more teams.

GL to the playoff bound. R

I currently have a team that had 107 wins in the finals (might have been more if RJ wasn't in my division shutting me down), but if I'm lucky enough to make the playoffs in THIS league, it will be a nice ending to a very fun and successful 05 set. This present team can't hit a lick and honestly think its been smoke and mirrors all year long, but I'm happy to have played with a great bunch of guys, most of whom I've never had the pleasure of playing with. I want to thank Rob for convincing me to come play with "a great group of guys" and hope to someday again join up in another league with many of the same group.

All of you have been great and wish you all the best in the 06 set.

Jerry

[color=red:f9dce483a2]Started out innocently enough right? Just a few guys giving props at the end of a long season right? And then this happens... [/color:f9dce483a2]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey Jerry,

Pleasure was certainly mutual then...ahmmm...that could be taken in many ways it wasn't intended to

(NOW I'm gonna get it from TY and ROb...you just wait and see)

O.K. let me start over again.

------

Jerlins,

Dude, cool playin' with ya too. Classy act you have goin' send me an invite anytime

Kiddin' aside -I really mean it J, great playin' with ya...hope to do it again soon...sniff, sniff...I promised myself I wouldn't get emotional... but I can't help it... I'm just a sensitive soul



BTW BOYOS...My Rain Dogs are heading to the Finals after winning game 5 of the semis last nght...down 0-2...rally in the bottom of the 9th vs. Mariano to win it 3-2 ...wish me luck guys...I ain't as good as you so I need the good vibes.

C-Squared...love my new nickname Ty!

Me poke fun at a statement? Moi?! No way!

But now that this league is by and large finished and C squared and Jerlins are done playing ...I just want to thank all the fellas for a great season. Now where did I leave that number for the National Enquirer?

C2,

I figured C squared sounded better than C section. Don't ask me why I wrote that, my brains done leaked out of my ears years ago.

Location: Robvoz's 30,000 sq. ft., 15.4 million dollar palatial estate.

Scene: Rob wearing a silk smoking jacket sits comfortably in a highbacked leather chair behind a massive mahogany and gold trimmed desk sipping Cognac and smoking a pipe going over the next 250 million dollar movie proposal. His 15 Oscars on a shelf behind him.

Door opens.

Tyber enters wearing greasy ripped jeans, no shoes, and a bowling shirt smoking a Swisher.

Tyber: What up dude?

Rob looking startled.

Rob: Can I help you??

Tyber: Rob, it's me Ty, from the league.

Rob looking perplexed.

Rob: Ty? Ty? Tyber? (Wincing)

Tyber: Yeah dude, what's shakin' bacon?


Rob still wincing.

Rob: Mr. Tyber how...

Tyber: Nah bra, it's just Ty.

Rob: Ummm...Right. Well umm Mr. ummm Ty how did you get in here?

Tyber: That was easy dude! I told the security dude we were old friends from Strat days oh and I flipped him a twenty.

Rob: Ummm...Excuse me for one moment.

Rob picks up his phone.

Rob: Bernadette? Who is our Chief of security?

Listens

Rob: Stevens is it? Ummm...Fire him!

Rob hangs up. Tyber innocently flicks ashes onto Rob's mother of pearl inlaid flooring.

Rob: So uh, Ty is it? Ummm...Would you care to sit down?

Tyber: Thanks dude!

Rob: NOT THERE TY!!!

Rob: That's a Louis the XIVth, it's very old.

Tyber: You like garage sales too?! Dude! That's awesome!

Rob:...

Rob: Can I get you something to drink? A sherry perhaps?

Tyber: Got Pabst?

Rob:???

Tyber: Old Milwaukee is good too dude.

Rob:???

Tyber: That's ok dude, I know times are tough, I'll just grab a six on the way home.

Rob:...

Phone rings, Rob answers looking almost relieved! Tyber looks around but not seeing an ashtray flips the Swisher butt into a Ming Dynasty Vase.

Rob: No Mr. Deniro may not be in my next project! When he acquires some talent maybe we'll talk!

Rob Hangs up.

Rob: Look uh Ty I'm really busy could you just tell me what you want?

Tyber: Busy huh? Yeah I know that one! I gotta take the beer cans back to the store after I leave here. DUDE! THAT IS SUCH A DRAG!

Rob slides open his front desk drawer checking for the loaded pistol.

Rob: Will you get on with it already?!

Tyber: Oh yeah. Like you know like those two dudes Chuck and Jerry?

Rob: Charles and Reginald? Yes I know them quite well, we went to Harvard together, graduated tops in our class, we play Polo together every week. Very upstanding and prestigious gentlemen.

Tyber: Yeah the two geeky dudes! So anyways, like Chuck was on there this morning like saying all kinds of like nice stuff to Jerry and like he like totally thought it could be taken the wrong way so he says "Oh now Rob and Ty are gonna give it to me." So I like totally went on and said that I like totally wasn't going to even though I like totally was going to! It was killer!

Rob: ???

Tyber: Right so like I figured I could like totally come over here and help you come up with something that would like totally shred them!

Rob: Umm Ty right? Listen Ty, can I be frank with you?

Tyber: I thought your name was Rob??

Rob: Ummm...Right. I mean can I be honest with you?

Tyber: Sure dude! Honesty rocks!

Rob: Ty I have to admit that I find you to be a demeritorious, odious, deplorable, despicable, detestable person.

Tyber: WOW! Thanks dude! I think you're pretty cool too.

Rob: And I find your voluminous attempts at humor to be synthetic, sophomoric, erroneous, fallacious,condemnable piles of tripe!

Tyber: Dude! That rocks! I like your stuff too, I don't really understand any of it but it like totally rocks dude! So you'll totally like rip on them then?

Rob: Ty...ummm...how can I put this? You're wanting me to write aspersing, belittling, calumnious, censorious, contumelious, critical, damaging, decrying, defamatory, degrading, demeaning things about these two fine gentlemen that I hold in such high regard??

Tyber: Like totally dude! That would rock!

Rob: Get out!

Tyber: I knew you wouldn't let me down dude!

Okay, that did it. When are we going to Vegas?

I think a weekend with you guys will give me bar conversations for about 10 years.

Let's see,

Redneck relatives? check
30 years of dating stories check
Vegas trip with Strat geeks check


All the bases covered!

You guys have been cracking me all day long.

Ty, Dude...you gotta take it easy on me I've been cracking up until I start to I had rehearsal today and I sneaked a peak to the thread from my phone, I almost choked and did yet another spit take on your Pulitzer drama up there

Where the doo-doo did you come up with Bernadette as Rob's seretary? With my sick mind I kept thinking of Bernadette Peters in The longest Yard (the Burt version, not the new one)

Got Pabst

Charles and Reginald Ooooooh boy this one really cracks me up

Dude that was like totally rad and fab man.

Where'd you pick up all those big words? I had to break my Webster open to check up on "contumelious"

ooooh man o man, that was a much needed laugh (still cracking up writing this)

By the way honey...errr, Jerry -DANG I KNEW it!!!!: Note to self: Keep laughing Chuck...the more you laugh the less truths you let out.

-You're right Sto, a weekend in Vegas golfing and strat-ing with this bunc sounds WAY too good to pass on.


This is a classic Ty... oooh boy can't wait for Rob "Hugh M Hefner" Voz has to say about this

Report abuse My absolute favorite lines in that masterpiece... 05 May 2006 22:37

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rob: Ty I have to admit that I find you to be a demeritorious, odious, deplorable, despicable, detestable person.

Tyber: WOW! Thanks dude! I think you're pretty cool too.


I almost choked from laughing so hard out loud...

Don't I wish I was THAT successful, rich, powerful and SNOBBY...Well, maybe not the snobby part...

Truth be told - I may be the most UN successful screenwriter of all time...My wife thinks I am the worst dresser that EVER lived and the biggest (expletive) on the planet because I am loud, aggressive and totally street - altho Catholic educated for 13 years and have a BA in Film - which if you add up the 16 failed scripts I wrote and the 1.3 M Miles I have driven along with the 1.5M (Minimum) lbs of freight I have either loaded onto or off of trucks I have driven in my adult lifetime, would basically get me a cup of coffee and a donut at Dunkin Donuts and a bad back.

Sorry I haven't been around much the past 2 weeks with the exception of a few fleeting moments here and there. Apr/May are very busty delivery months and to make matters worse I was in not 1 but 2 car accidents in 48 hrs last week.

So i have been going to bed early and getting up really early for me. Leaving before I check my teams and getting back after deadline...So I have barely even checked my scores and set my lineups and per game starters lately. I try to do it all on Sunday in advance, but my 5 yr old needs attention too. So my once 20 games over .500 and nearly .700 pct has dwindled down to about a game or 2 over .500 in the 06' set.

Think I sholud have waited before I added 3 more teams. Didn't make the finals in that other 05' league. Maybe I am better off. I certainly don't think I could have handled another league right now.

BTW, it was mine and safe to assume everyone elses pleasure having one of the best 05' players join our fun group, Jerlins. Be sure to join the 06 48 team LOTO Tour when I send you your invitation.

Most of the LOTO players are top 50 HOC/Ratings and the others are really just as competitive, just don't play in as many leagues. Everyone here will be invited. So Hope you will all play. Robt

PS, Ty, that is one of the funniest things I have ever read on these boards. I am so much more like the Pabst guy than the Louis the 14th guy you wouldn't believe it - just an east coast version. The City I am from, much like Detroit, Newark or DC is one of the highest violent crime cities in the US and one of the only major cities that has defaulted...Corrupt politicians, gangs, drugs(Major heroin problem), murder, and one of the highest in rape in the uS as well. It is such a toilet I am glad I have been away for over 20 yrs now.

And yes, I think this bunch should definitely have a n SOM get together in Las vegas or Phoenix during the cooler months, or somewhere farther north in the summer - Maybe Tahoe. Then we can still gamble. robert

I checked in this thread thinking it was a "review" of the strat convention stuff but...he,he,he...still cracks me up, ooooh boy that scene between you and Rob is classic.

You have a way Ty, every time I'm in a league with you at one point or another it gets wack-o...must be the Pabst, eh?
