What we do is way less dorky than say, people who play fantasy sports. Our players get lives because we give them life. This takes work. Fantasy sports? That stuff is easy. You just wait for the players to play and then write down their stats.

This is way better and we're not dorks. We're CREATORS!

Young Drachma · 09-28-2008, 10:22 PM

Carlton Watkins grounds out to make the first out, runners advance to second and third.

Young Drachma · 09-28-2008, 10:23 PM

Dan Long and Robinson Sanchez stranded the two runners in scoring position by striking out to end the 7th inning threat. Score remains at 2-2.

Alan T · 09-28-2008, 10:23 PM

The Dan Long infiltrating the Harpooners plan is working perfectly.

Young Drachma · 09-28-2008, 10:24 PM

Rick Inman reaches first on the throw by the third baseman to first with no one out in the 8th.

muns · 09-28-2008, 10:24 PM

Dan long comes to bat......

muns · 09-28-2008, 10:24 PM

Couldnt do it..... this game is awesome!!!!

Alan T · 09-28-2008, 10:25 PM

Come on Rasmussen, stick it to the ole Harpooners for trading you.

Young Drachma · 09-28-2008, 10:26 PM

Inman reaches second on a wild pitch by Robinson. The batter ends up getting out after the next pitch.

Mac Rasmussen gets walked on the next at-bat.

Two on, one out.

Alan T · 09-28-2008, 10:26 PM

Oh... this is my lineup vs leftys + DH? bleh thats no good.

Young Drachma · 09-28-2008, 10:27 PM

Robinson, who has throw 137 pitches today, strikes out the next two batters to end the inning. The score remains 2-2 heading into the bottom of the 8th.

Not good...... COME ON DP!!!

Young Drachma · 09-28-2008, 10:27 PM

Kenko Tamura gets on with a double with one out in the 8th.

Charles Wilson has thrown 105 pitches and is still in the game.

Young Drachma · 09-28-2008, 10:28 PM

Wilson hits Steven McGill to put a runner on first and second.

Hey he is 24..... he can take it...... lol...... thats insane though

Young Drachma · 09-28-2008, 10:28 PM

Alonso Hernandez has come on to pitch in relief for Valdosta.

Walter Little bunts to advance the runners, two down in the bottom of the 8th.

I guess that is better than throwing it over the first baseman's head.

muns · 09-28-2008, 10:29 PM

Come on walter......be the man here

Young Drachma · 09-28-2008, 10:29 PM

Lagario grounds out to end the 8th inning. We head to the 9th inning with the score still tied 2-2 in Game 9 of the FOOL Classic.

The same Alonso Hernandez that blew last year's FOOL Classic also!

Might as well make him a real big goat!

muns · 09-28-2008, 10:29 PM

WTF!!!!!! my number 4 hitter is BUNTING!!!!!!!!!!! GOSH..............

Alan T · 09-28-2008, 10:30 PM

Should have Nolan Hunter leading off the 9th.. he's had an ok series it sounds like.

Alan T · 09-28-2008, 10:30 PM

Time to tweak those strategies I think!

Young Drachma · 09-28-2008, 10:31 PM

Porter Gilbert comes on to pitch for Hartford in the 9th and logs a 1-2-3 inning.

We head to the bottom of the 9th inning with the score tied 2-2.

The only FOOL Classic in history to go into extra innings in the 9th game was the 1969 Classic between Brooklyn and Compton that was won by Brooklyn in the bottom of the 13th inning.

Last year's Classic went the full 9 games, before Columbus knocked off Valdosta, too.

What a series this has been, huh folks?

Young Drachma · 09-28-2008, 10:31 PM

Albert Barbosa is on the mound for the peanuts. The 6-7-8 hitters up for Hartford

I suggest that everyone now messes with thier indivudal settings, cause this cant only be happening to me.... lol love it markus

Alan T · 09-28-2008, 10:32 PM

If my manager was cool, he'd bring in Carlos Gonzales here.. but he'll likely go with someone stupid like Derek Carpenter instead.

I did this year. That's why we won so many games with literal junk and a crappy six-man rotation.

Young Drachma · 09-28-2008, 10:34 PM

George Baker hits a leadoff TRIPLE with a 3-2 count to start the 9th inning. The Hartford faithful are buzzing and the stadium is LOUD with all 43,361 people in the stands going absolutely nuts.

Young Drachma · 09-28-2008, 10:34 PM

Mel Tolmie gets walked to first. Runners at 1st and 3rd with no one out in the bottom of the 9th inning. The score is Hartford 2, Valdosta 2.

Alan T · 09-28-2008, 10:38 PM

Wow.. can't believe they didn't throw home or keep Baker from scoring.. horrible play!

Grats muns, heck of a come back to win the title!

kaosfere · 09-28-2008, 10:39 PM

Congrats, muns! It's been a hell of a road, but you finally did it!

Alan T · 09-28-2008, 10:40 PM

Well bed time for me. Glad that it was at least an exciting series, even if the bad guys won!

Night all!

Young Drachma · 09-28-2008, 10:40 PM

Jeremy, I gotta tell you. You earned this one. HELL OF A JOB. From the rebuild, to the title, this was your year and man..did you do it right. Hats off to you and all of 'Pooner nation. Especially now that Boston doesn't have a team anymore, the Pooners are officially the Red Sox of FOOL.

No kidding eh? Might want to consider bringing the infield in???

Anyways...a walk off double play....seems anti-climatic. if i were Muns I'd throw this one back and wait to win one the old fashioned way!!
