Oakland Park Baseball

Ok... so that's not really the question... the real question is whether or not MLB finally bites the bullet and brings in instant replay next year. and in case you (somehow) don't know what I'm talking about... you know what... I'm not even gonna link it. You're just gonna have to know what I'm talk...

Lots of people have flipped out. Hell, managers flip out on umpires everyday, but there's a line that players need to know they should not dare cross, and spitting on an official is certainly on the far side of that line.

Roberto Alomar is on my 3 name long list of people who should never be considered for the hall of fame, and... really... who I would've been perfectly happy to see an immediate lifetime ban. 1. Ron Artest 2. Orlando Brown 3. That guy who spit on an umpire. *My views on Brown may be softened by the f...

6'6, 260? I thought we were trying to get rid of first basemen?

For the last three winters (including this one), we have pretty much established that we can't consistently generate enough interest in OPB style baseball to have games. The problem with this is twofold. Firstly, we don't have games. That sucks. We all like baseball, we all want to play every Sunday...

Are the guys from SJ coming up? Important administrative note: THE WEBSITE IS NOT FUNCTIONAL SO DON'T TRUST IT!!!!! Here's what's really happening... "LIVE" Baseball this Sunday November 29th at Raimondi Field !!! (Specific Directions Below) "LIVE" means standard MLB rules, inclu...

anyone else wanna clarify when our next live game is supposed to be?

Awesome! I'm always eager for more OPB pictures

Balance? WHAT THE FUCK IS BALANCE?!?

well, i mean... it can only be assumed.

I believe the next live game is scheduled for Dec 6th or 13th

Hasn't been much activity on the forums recently, and I suppose most people who are on the forum are also on the mailing list... but I wanted to do my part to make sure everyone knew that this weeks game is at Raimondi (why?)

Would be great for the main site to be updated!

not that it matters much now, but your team certainly didn't go 12 for 19 in the first game. We made at least 5 errors in that game and completed at least two innings. I know it's hard to get stats perfect (especially when we aren't trying) but inaccurate stats really aren't worth tracking.

I agree that that 9th inning was rather odd. Peter mentioned our team's lukewarm excitement and, at least for me, the strangeness of everything that happened had something to do with it. Arthur running for Lynell (who was running for Matt) was legit as Lynell was on deck- He never should've been bee...

oh, are you talking about people hitting but not running? I think it's perfectly reasonable to accommodate people's injuries in that way.

no, i'm pretty sure we credit the run to the batter... or at least, that's what i've always done. Not sure what you meant by the second half of your post. I assumed you were referring to Bill's PH, but the "we had 3 people do that" kinda threw me off. care to clarify?
