I am easily distracted in class but not because of OOTP. No offense Markus but nothing beats college girls.....

When you see the date July 31 written some where and your heart starts pounding because you know that is trade deadline!!!

MrHaroldG · 12-19-2002, 01:22 AM

You shout for joy over a walk-off home run.

You refrain from saying "no-hitter"—then get upset when an attempt at one is broken up in the late innings.

when you decide to bring this old thread back to see how people have changed in version 5.

When you sit at work wondering if Dan Brouthers is going to resign with Buffalo, try to get with a team with better pitching, or take the big money offered by some bottom-dweller.

richshu · 07-21-2003, 02:32 PM

....when you wake up dead-tired for work, knowing you shouldn't have stayed up so late, trying to get another game or two in...then couldn't fall asleep as you were so pi$$ed off about your middle-reliever blowing the games, that you swore you'd trade him, nobody wants him..where do you get a good set-up man? what do you have to give up for one? then you start going over the lineups in your head, depth, starters.....and can't sleep...look at the clock, it's 2am......

damn relievers

when you spend a few hours on the weekend trying to train you cat to click No at the Historical Import question just so you can have the cat hurry you through a fictional history set in the 1900s.

Eckstein 4 Prez · 07-21-2003, 02:40 PM

How did the cat do? It didn't mistakenly let any historical guys in, did it?

Gastric ReFlux · 07-21-2003, 02:44 PM

He's doing well on that. I'm still having trouble getting him to understand that to lower home runs, he has to raise the number in the Leage Totals Settings.

rogmax11 · 07-21-2003, 02:44 PM

Only Johnny Mize, Harvey Haddix, and Andres Gallaraga. It would appear Fred McGriff got deleted.

Meow.

Well, don't worry. It takes most newbies several months to fully understand this.

Does he press "1" for you when you play out games too?

Plutoro · 07-21-2003, 03:33 PM

You wonder how it takes months for coach's to go to florida and decide to change your teams closer duration to 0 to try and get his fastball frm 98 to 100 consistantly.

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?"

This was classic. Epic!

Heem Dream · 07-21-2003, 10:38 PM

When you actually cry when a player on your roster gets a CEI...

When you sit in front of the PC actually terrified when engaged in contract negotiations, thinking, *How many chances will he give me?

When you are afraid to lose one game because the fans will stop coming

When you trade a guy after only one sim because he is 'not playing up to his potential"

When you try to use Outlook to send emails back to your players only to get them returned

TwinMonster · 07-22-2003, 01:58 PM

When you start training to be a baseball player so you can take over at shortstop when your favorite player retires or just plain gets expensive.

Gastric ReFlux · 07-22-2003, 02:07 PM

when you practice using your mouse with your lefthand to try to get a platoon advantage.

RoadMovie · 07-22-2003, 06:30 PM

...when you go out and get drunk on a wednesday night because those overpaid *********** dropped 15 in a row in late september and you got fired...

...when your mom asks how your love life is and you say, "I met this girl, Irene. I think I'll spend some time with her"

Plutoro · 07-22-2003, 09:51 PM

You get fired from work and you say, I thought all you wanted was for me to not finish last.

Heem Dream · 07-22-2003, 09:55 PM

When you really start to think that a baseball season is only two days long
