A Wspbp!!!

[Nanner]

(That would be a World Series Play By Play):biggrin:

I'm going to try this for awhile, and if the D'Backs tank early, I'm outta here.

Well, hmmmm. Isn't this interesting. Skanks... oops... Yanks (I'm trying to remain neutral, even though I'm a Bandwagon D'Backs fan... )... anyway, Jeter hit by a pitch, goes to first, and then scores on a double by... um.... I don't know. It happened too fast. Okay. 3rd out.

And they said that Schilling is tied with Rick Reed for first pitch strikes in the major league!:uhoh: Wow! Reeder!!!!

Okay. D'Backs coming up.

[Nanner]

Mussina on the mound, Tony Womack is the first up... 1st pitch a strike... then a ball. Okay. Mike Mussina is kind of hot. But he's a Skank, so... :eviltongu (So forget about my being neutral)

Their National Anthem presentation was really cool tonight. They had the roof open, four jets flew over, they had a huge flag on the field, held by cadets, I think... Jewel sang, and very nicely, and they had little tableaus, one of the Iwo Jima flag raising, and one of the firefighters raising the flag. It was very moving.

All righty, Tony Womack is gone.

Craig Counsell... the MVP of the NLCS... a rel cutie. Come on Craig!!!!! A lefty, and the count is 2-0 now.... wait for your pitch, that's right, Cutie Craig... now 2-1. Oh. There's a sign. It's Greg Counsell. WOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!! A HOMERUN OVER THE CENTER FIELD WALL!!!!!! WHOA!!!! GO BABY!!!!!

[Nanner]

Okay, Greg, I will never forget your name again. :biggrin:

Oh, now they showed a graphic... and it is Craig!!!! What kind of silly AZ fan was that in the stands holding up a sign saying "Greg"?!!?!?!?

Okay. I will never forget it again... CRAIG, CRAIG, CRAIG.

All righty, Louis Gonzales strikes out. I think he strikes out. I gotta get into this. It's been so long since I've done a PBP!!! Okay. 2 out.

SANDERS!!!! REGGIE SANDERS!!! BASE HIT TO RIGHT!!!!
WOOHOOOOO!!!

Standing in, at the plate, Steve Finley.

Come on, Baby!!!! :P

Aaaaaand.... he hits it right to Tino... 3rd out.

Score tied, going into the 2nd. :cool:

[Nanner]

OOOOPS! ALMOST MISSED THIS! I WAS CHCKING MY SOUP!!! CURT SCHILLING STRIKES OUT POSADA!!! A FANCY SPLITTER!!! ONE DOWN. NOW WE HAVE SORIANO AT THE PLATE AND HE FLIES OUT TO FINLEY!! 2 OUT!!! COME ON, CURT! SET 'EM DOWN 1-2-3!!!

Brosius at the plate... flies towards center, Finley has a long way to go.... and it looked like he got it, but it bounced away. A stand up double for Brosius.:hmm:

Oh! Here's Mike Mussina batting! How odd this looks! 1 ball, 2 strikes. Aaaaaand he strikes 'im out. SIT DOWN MIKE MUSSINA!!! And the Yankees leave Brosius stranded on 2nd.:biggrin:

D'Backs coming up!

[Nanner]

A commercial for Ocean's Eleven, with George Clooney. :confused: I didn't know they were remaking that movie! Why, oh why do they insist on remaking perfectly good movies?!?!? So who's going to sing, "My Kind of Town"?.... Brad Pitt?

Okay bottom of the 2nd. Here's Matt Williams at the plate. Come on, Matty. Show us what ya got.

You know. I gotta admit. Mike Mussina's kind of hot in a kind of "try to get past the uniform" kind of way.:biggrin:

Allrighty, back to the game. Whoa. 2 out. How did that 2nd out happen? Ummmm... someone... who was that, hit it right to Soriano. Okay, now someone just hit a single (:confused: ) ... I hate that I don't know all these players... anyway, Curt Schilling is at the plate, 2 out and it's now no balls, 2 strikes on Curt. Aaaaaaand.... he strikes 'im out.:angry:

3rd inning coming up.

[Nanner]

3rd inning... Knobby at the plate. 2 balls 1 strike... POPS 'IM UP TO MARK GRACE AT 1ST!!!

1 out.

De-Rek at the plate. (He got hit in his first at-bat... I might not have said that. Did I say that?)

Hard hit to the shortstop... (Now, I should know who the D's shortstop is, because I love shortstops... who is their shortstop?) So De-Rek's out at 1st base.

2 out

David Justice at the plate... count is now 1-2. Come on, Curt. Get 'im with a splitter.

GOT 'IM!!!!!!! STRIKEOUT NUMBER 4!!! BOTTOM OF THE 4TH COMING UP, STILL TIED 1-1!!!

[Nanner]

WOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!! D'BACKS TAKE THE LEAD!!!! 3-1!!!!!!

Okay. This is how it happened. Womack singled, Counsell sacrificed bunted and moved Womack to 2nd, then Louis Gonzales.... Mr. 57 homeruns for the season.... goes yard!!!!!! WOOHOOOOO!!!!! AND REGGIE SANDERS SINGLES!!!!!

Mikey's getting a little rattled. He just missed down and in, and Posada had set up outside.

Finley at the plate, Sanders at 1st. Come on, Steve... FINLEY GOES TO CENTER!!!! IT GOES OFF JUSTICE'S GLOVE!!!! STAND UP DOUBLE FOR FINLEY!!! ERROR ON JUSTICE!!! TWO MEN ON!!! SANDERS AT 3RD!!!! ONLY 1 OUT!!!!!

THIS IS FUN!!!!!! :biggrin: :cool: :biggrin: :cool:

Matt Williams at the plate. The BOB is going wild right now!!!

Williams!!!! SAC FLY!!!!! BERNIE WILLIAMS ONE-HANDS IT, AND HIS THROW TO HOME IS BAD AND IS CUT OFF BY TINO, I THINK, WHO THROWS TO 3RD, AND FINLEY IS SAFE AND SANDERS SCORES!!!!!! 4-1 D'BACKS!!!!! WOOOHOOOOOO!!!!

[Nanner]

DAMIEN MILLER!!! HAMMERS AN INSIDE BREAKING BALL DOWN THE 3RD BASE LINE!!!! FINLEY SCORES! STAND UP DOUBLE FOR DAMIEN MILLER!!! WHO'S ON 3RD NOW?!?!? THIS IS HAPPENING SO FAST!!!

Curt Schilling steps in... score is now 5-1, D'Backs.:uhoh: :biggrin:

Oh. Mark Grace is on 3rd.

Mike Mussina's gettin' tattooed.:biggrin: :bigsquare (Okay, I guess my neutral stance has gone by-by.:biggrin: )

Curt hits it to De-Rek... who throws to 1st, and that's it for this inning. Whoa.

Nice.:biggrinpa

[Nanner]

CURT SCHILLING HAS JUST STRUCK OUT THE FIRST TWO BATTERS!!! JORGE POSADA AT TH PLATE!!!!! THEY'RE GOING NUTS AT THE BOB!!!!! COUNT IS 2-2!

Oh, dang. He grounds to Counsell at 2nd, it gets under Craig's glove, and Jorge's on 1st.

Soriano at the plate

Geez. Schilling is so cool. He's just looking smooth and strong and unflappable... like he's right where he belongs and he couldn't give a flying rat's a** he's facing the Yankees. And he strikes out Soriano. Six strikeouts for Curt Schilling.

Whoa.:uhoh: Awesome.

[Nanner]

Mike Mussina is outta there. It's the bottom of the 4th, and he's outta there. Randy Choate now pitching for the Skanks. First guy fouls out to Posada, (I can't remember who the first guy was.:hmm: ) And now Craig Counsell..... strikes out. Louis Gonzalez .... GOES THE OTHER WAY!!!!! DOWN THE LEFT FIELD LINE!!!!! IT'S A 2-OUT DOUBLE!!!! WOOOHOOOOOO!!!

HEY! Geesh. I take a couple of minutes to eat my soup and now someone's on 1st... how'd that happen?!?!?!?!? And now Steve Finley is at the plate, with 2 out, count is 2-0. Who's that on 1st? Ummmm. I gotta get to know these D'Backs!


WOOOOHOOOOOO!!!! FINLEY HITS ONE HARD TO RIGHT FIELD!!!! GONZALEZ SCORES!!!!! 6-1 D'BACKS!!!!! WOOOHOOOO!!!! RUNNERS ON THE CORNERS!!! MATT WILLIAMS GROUNDS TO 3RD!!!! IT GETS AWAY FROM BROSIUS!!!! OFF HIS GLOVE!!! MATT WILLIAMS DOUBLES!!! THAT GUY WHO WAS ON 1ST AND THEN 3RD SCORES!!! MARK GRACE AT THE PLATE! HITS IT TO LEFT CENTER FIELD!!!! FINLEY SCORES!!! WILLIAMS SCORES!!!!! MARK GRACE AT 2ND! DAMIEN MILLER AT THE PLATE!!!

Aaaaaaand he goes right back to Choate, who throws to Tino, and Miller's out at 1st.

Ummmm....... 4 runs scored this inning.:biggrin:

D'Backs 8, Skanks 1. :cool: :biggrinpa

[Nanner]

DOH!!!! D'Backs 9, Skanks 1... that wasn't 8-1, it was 9 - 1.:biggrin: Yes, that's 9-1.

And there's already 1 out... and Counsell just stopped a shot by... Enrique Wilson and got him out at 1st.

2 out. Knobby at the plate.

I think I love Craig Counsell. Knobby hits to Womack (the shortstop :biggrin: ) who throws to 1st, to get Knobby for the 3rd outtie.:biggrin:

Hmmmmm. I wonder who's going to be pitching for the Yanks in the bottom of the 5th. Bottom of the 5th? Is that right? This game is moving fast.

[Nanner]

Is the game over?
:biggrin:

Well, here it is, Sunday morning. I was interrupted by dinner...


DIAMONDBACKS WIN!!!!! 9-1!!!!!

OMG that's why they won!! cuz Nanner was in da house and sending love to Arizona!!:uhoh: :uhoh: (I shoulda known!!):hmm:


can i tell you how happy this game made me?? i've been so depressed all week.... and i thought this game was just gonna depress me more, so i didn't think i was going to watch it.....but then i got sucked in and the next thing i know i'm jumping up and down at "5-1 ARIZONA OMG!! YIPPEE!!":bigsquare


i hope johnson continues their flow today...... are you doing a WSPBP???


(btw, GREAT JOB as always!! i wish i had known, i woulda jumped on!:biggrin: )

[Nanner]

YOU BET YER SWEET PATOOTIE I'M DOING A WSPBP TONIGHT!!!

Well, I'll start one, with the same provision that if the D'Backs start tanking, I'm outta here.:biggrin: Yes, yes, I'm a Bandwagon Fan... if they're winning, great... if they're not, it's on to cleaning or something... it's not like I've got alot of emotion invested in them, but, I'll tell ya... the more I watch them, I am getting kind of attached to a couple of those guys. The two guys from Wisconsin... Craig Counsell and Damian Miller... I like them! Steve Finley... I like him too!!!!!!

WOOHOOOOOO!!!!

GO UNIT!!!!!!! (Never in my entire life did I think I'd ever be saying that!):biggrin:

[metmagic]

it's funny..... the more i watch, um, everybody-- the more i like them! (i think there is at least one player i like on every team, esp. the pitchas:P).....

EXCEPT.................. {who else}:hmm:



THE TEAM WE ALL LOVE TO HATE! ...... i swear, they're the only team i can't stand......... hmmm, now why is that???:confused: :hmm:



btw nan, i don't think it's such a bad thing to walk away if they start tanking.... i mean, after what we've been through, can anyone blame us for wanting to watch ONLY if that rotten team gets destroyed?? i mean, why the heck would we wanna watch EVIL win... again!:angry: :hmm:




GO UNIT!!!!!! CRUSH THE BORG!!!!!
