You know you play ootp to much when... - Page 4

hottnix · 10-23-2002, 10:46 PM

actually...i ended up getting the last laugh on zito. he wouldn't sign with me and ended up going to someone else. so, naturally, i just traded for him...apparently they don't have no-trade clauses in the ootp4 contracts. he may not be happy...but he won 22 games for me this season. sucker.

unfortunately, mulder is not as good (in the game) as zito...and i put a premium on my starting staff. otherwise i could have avoided the entire mess altogether.

... you're on the phone with a client and totally forget what you were saying because you're thinking about that homerun your closer gave up to cost you latest game you managed...

...you tell your boss that you need to leave early to get to the World Series on time and buy peanuts on your way home to the computer.

... You get a new job offer and you respond by saying, "That's a good offer, that's the best offer I got so far."

LOL! I think that's the best one so far (literally).

Dargone · 10-28-2002, 07:43 PM

LOL! That's very funny.

Jamey · 10-29-2002, 02:13 AM

whenever i'm home alone i find myself saying "i will not trade Arthur Job" over and over again. That damn seattle manager refuses to give me Arthur Job for anything i offer

i will not trade Arthur Job
i will not trade Arthur Job
I WILL NOT TRADE ARTHUR JOB

i once and awhile will catch myself saying it at work, my co-workers dont seem to mind, they're so nice, they're always telling me that i'm special

...your girlfriend deletes your zip file of the 1983 season so you break up with her.

scprideandms · 10-29-2002, 01:43 PM

you schedule your dentist appt. for a day when none of your 5 lgs simmed the night b4

Gastric ReFlux · 10-29-2002, 01:50 PM

...and then you miss that dentist appt. because you take to long to make a trade in your solo league.

BadVlad · 10-29-2002, 02:27 PM

...You have a strong desire to name your first born "Markus"

You're good at this BadVlad. Keep up the good work, this is hilarious.

...You start getting creative and make a team of misfits, freaks and criminals and then realize that there already IS a team like that, the Texas Rangers, and you scrap the whole project.

Tib · 11-06-2002, 06:32 AM

You know you've played too much OOTP when

...you sim game seven of the World Series and watch through your fingers.

...the off-season takes longer than the season

...you honestly can't remember if Rafael Santana was a real player or not.

...you are genuinely happy when you beat a pitcher who left your team because he didn't "like your organization". ("How do you like it now, you jerk?")

...you follow the in-game scoreboard.

...while watching MLB games, you make comments to your wife like, "this guy hit 44 homers for me last season".

...you write a letter to Sammy Sosa warning him that his production is going to disappear when he's thirty-seven and he'll be out of the game at forty, but his son is going to be rookie of the year in 2024.

Tib · 11-06-2002, 06:51 AM

...you create yourself, then draft yourself on your own team, offer yourself a huge contract, which you accept, then you trade yourself away because you don't think you're as productive as you should be.

Tib · 11-06-2002, 07:02 AM

...you watch a closer blow a save and say to your buddy, "They should have brought in Bookie Banks", and your buddy says, "Who the hell is Bookie Banks?"

Tib · 11-06-2002, 08:21 AM

...your team's needs get more attention than your wife's needs.

...you spends hours re-coloring logos, AND THINK IT'S WORTH IT.

...at the beginning of each new season you make the phantom motion of "throwing out the first ball".

...you use a graphics program to create lustrous paper "plaques" for your Hall of Famers.

...you get mad when someone says, "It's just a game".

...you slam the desk so hard after losing a ballgame that the computer reboots itself.

...you've read this far on this thread.
