Are you available to play tomorrow early? We may take the kids to my brother's for a barbecue at 3 PM, and wouldn't be back until Sunday afternoon. I want these games over ASAP if so.

Yes. I was there a half hour. You didn't show. Why didn't you send a message via PSN when you got online? I friended the whole league for that purpose.eznark said:

Why the hell did you accept the forefeit? Does the term "psycho nieces" ring a bell? I had a runner on 1st and 1 out in the 9th! I can't believe you pulled that, especially after all the computer bullshit that caused you to score those runs to take the lead. Really, dude? Was that the only way you could beat me?
I DECLARE SHENNANGIANS
10 minutes? Man I said jack after you nailed my guy in the head after a homer yesterday. This is how it is?
Now, let's use some common sense. If I'm batting in the 9th and have momentum WHY THE FUCK WOULD I INTENTIONALLY PAUSE THE GAME?? That's right up there with intentionally leaving for 2 weeks, getting horribly rusty by playing no games just so I could intentionally screw the league.
2nd, if your argument is I paused when behind... FAIL. I had to pause ahead 3-1 because their On-Demand show ended. The one in the 9th is because they were crying and I had to prepare lunch. But hey, you'll find about being torn between a crying kid and whatever you want to do soon enough.
The most damning piece of evidence?

I pretty much told you if I have any extended pauses its' due to having to watch kids. Why didn't you snap when I had to pause for 1-2 minutes in the 1st game?

This has been more entertaining than playing. :lol
What is funnier is eznark responding yesterday to the Jambi/Frankman spat when Frankman paused in their game:
Then he blasts Frankie today with the forfiet. :lol
I will say though Frank you should send people a message on PSN if you are going to take awhile. Courtesy at the very least.

Frankman, you seem to fail to realize a very important aspect of this league. The other teams and the posters in this thread are not computers. We are also people with lives and conflicts and commitments. You had run out of pause time when I posted in this thread, which means you had used 5 full minutes. I then forfeited out because another 5 straight minutes of pausing had passed. Making me and other people stare at a pause screen for an inordinate amount of time is absolutely insulting, no matter the reason.
I had plans to be at the driving range at 4. I squeezed in our game because you yet again were going out of town. We started our game at 2. You forfeited at 3:18. It was a 4-3 game! There is no excuse for the game to take that long. You have nieces? Plan ahead. Don't pause 15 times to check hot zones and pitcher breakdowns and tendencies. Realize that you are probably going to need a few minutes and adjust your absurd play style accordingly.
I have no doubt you had legitimate reasons to be paused. I had legitimate reasons to be sick and tired of waiting for you with no word on how long it would take for you to come back. As to hitting the guy in the head, injuries are off. A bean is a bean in this game, it just so happens I find it humorous (and a little risky re: passed ball) to aim for the noggin.
I and the rest of the league has bent over backwards accommodating you the past number of weeks. Normal people would have told the league to move on, that real life had interfered and you were looking forward to season 2. Since you are apparently unable to grasp the simplicities of basic courtesy, I have no doubt the idea never even crossed your mind. Get a clue dude. I didn't join the league so that I could make my schedule revolve around planet Frankman.
Flip a coin for the last game please LJ, I'm in no rush to go out of my way to fit into Frankman's clearly busier and more-important-than-everyone-else's life.
I was referring to the back and forth bitching in the thread, Bob. Also, I hadn't yet experienced Frankman.

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world hed rather have. The problem is, Dwyanes not a woman.
Back in the day my nephew was over all the time and I would never schedule league games while I was babysitting.
The few times that I did have to play when I didn't plan on having him over, I would play while he was banging on my tv or hanging all over me. If I lost I lost, I wasn't going to make the other player annoyed cause of my family shit by pausing for 10 mins.
Frank my man ....you done goofed!

I just played the biggest piece of shit random I have ever played. He has a lead 1-0 going into the top of the 9th, total lag free game and it was a great game so far. I hit a 2 run hr to take a 2-1 lead heading to the bottom. He pauses the game out of anger I'm sure and then in the bottom of the 9th he gets the first man on and then somehow is able to cause the game to delay and steal a base while I pitch. Then I end up walking the next guy cause he keeps causing some pausing delay as soon as I release the pitch. He gets the bases loaded and two outs and he does it again and wins.... I actually quit out and never do that. Not sure wtf he was doing other than I guess pulling his cable cord out, but fuck what a bitch.
I hadn't played online in a while, but I forgot how random fuckers like that make you not want to play anyone but people you know.
This is the fucker I played. No wonder he couldn't handle losing to me, top 35 has to fucking cheat. Can't handle a precious loss :lol

What, the Yanks are my favorite team. I'm their #1 fan. I'm definitely gonna use them this next season, but you can go ahead and take the Pirates or something. I'd say we could play for them, but I'd hate to waste your time.
