What? I wasn't blaming anybody but Bob. I was just bringing up that it sounded more like a a series of situations where one or the other wasn't available. Giving Bob the benefit of the doubt, not calling you out. It was my mistake to have or feign doubt that he was the reason you hadn't posted in the thread in a week or so despite other players besides Bob asking if you were around
I'm not telling you to not show up for other scheduled events by any means. Just don't blame another person for killing your vibe. Makes you sound as unreliable as him when in fact we all can be somewhat unreliable from time to time.

How late you gonna be around? I'm at work atm, leaving for the gym in a few. I'll be watching the Wings game tonight, but I can show up late for that if you were up for a game any time before 8pm.
^ Uh...probably gonna either DOTA or hang out with my wife tonight. Once we're done I'll have to sit around for another 10 days probably before I can play again so I'm not in too huge a hurry.
No one is anywhere as unreliable as Bob. Guy skips like half of his shifts at Wendy's. His punctuality is a joke in life and on the internet. If the manager weren't his dad he would have been fired ages ago.

I'm sorry. I was listening to 'Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe' at the time of that post and I felt like that was the perfect thing to post :lol
I still lurked the thread for the duration of that week. I knew my games consisted of Goldy and Bob. Goldy and I talked but then he had to drop out. And I knew Bob wasn't around at the time. I probably should've made contact with ecnal or rinse but I failed to do so. But I knew we weren't in much of a rush because those two games deadlines were more than a week+ away from being advanced. Stupid thinking, I know.

Hmm...I could leave work now and be home by 4:45 pm if you could play then. This offer self destructs by 4:35 PM EST though (meaning the latest I could be able to play other than tonight would be 5PM EST)
Weird, was listening to that album when I read and responded to your post
Not that stupid, especially if you have other things going on. I didn't know the deets about bob and his burger situation. I might swing by Wendy's on my way home and see if he's playing hooky again.

i think the 11th -- you're the last available game i have.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I managed my time really poorly today so I don't know if I'd feel good about sitting down for a full game, cause I got some stuff I want to do in and out of---would you be good to play tomorrow after heat-bulls? that's probably around 10 CT

Well, I have even stranger hours, so I look forward to seeing when we can play.
I'll get home from work about 7am CST if you're around.

You've never heard of a night job? Toilets don't clean themselves, you know.
You need a better toilet

Tell that to my clients. Low flow toilets are the worst.
god I can't stand having to flush twice to clear my shit out
What's your schedule like today? I'll be out and about til like 4:30 or so, maybe home earlier depending on how many places I need to go to find the shit I need.

C'mon! I like playing in other MLB parks. I've played in CoPa a billion times. If I'm the home team against EZ you better believe I'll be playing in Miller Park. Prince Fielder's coming home!
I'll be available around 9pm tonight or I can be ready to play tomorrow or Sunday morning (8-10 am). Might be available later than that or in the evenings but my weekend is in a state of flux atm.
If you are the home team you are playing in Detroit. If you pick another stadium I will turn the game off.

Oh please. I'd play (and I'll play when we face each other if I'm the home team) in CoPa if you asked me to, but you got all hormonal sounding in your post and I can't be bothered to deal with Sanjuro 2 tonight.

Preview of the next game
My swings will cover that much of the plate. I'm awful with Cabrera though so I suspect all those swings will be whiffs/dribblers/pop-ups. Don't fall asleep on Andy Dirks though!

what's going on? are you using analog or button accuracy fielding?
turnbuckle

because you're taking out your frustration with the game fucking with ya on this game? offered a friendly concede so we could try it again. feel bad about some of those plays. would rather start over than have you intentionally throw wild and bunt with Braun with nobody on base.

there are plenty of issues with the game, but I think maybe your controls might be causing you the most problems. I can't tell if you're accusing me of junk pitching (4 balls comment confusing me) but I didn't think I was.
I thought the game was playing ok; a little bit more lag than usual early on but not too bad.
No, you were throwing all strikes early. Then after Lucroy ran away from the runner and you got mad about bunting, swinging was the quickest way to end the game. At that point (after three innings) I don't think I had taken a pitch. Having you throw zero called balls for the whole game was my goal! Also to make Fiers eat that game. He performed admirably.

hey ez, I wasn't mad. I paused it so I could offer the friendly concede and post about what was going on. I could tell your guys weren't doing what you were trying to get them to do and wanted to give ya another game since it was still early. I remember playing good games with you in the past and your frustration during this one was palpable. no fun in winning a game because of control issues.
Anywho just wanted to clear that up if there was any doubt: I wasn't mad at all. frustrated but I understood
