It is not possible to play TOO MUCH OOTP.

...when winning a World Series after gettin knocked out of the playoffs the past 5 years, has you droppin to the ground expecting everyone around to pile up on top of you.

KBLover · 10-16-2002, 02:16 AM

When you look at a player's stats and see he's having a good year and you think, "maybe he's improved his talents"

Dargone · 10-16-2002, 02:52 AM

YankeePride that was funny

...you go out and buy extra cds so as to save for alltime the years the Phillies and the Red Sox win the World Series.

...you've memorized your elicense number.

...when you last watched a game on television, you kept clicking a remote button to try and hurry the next batter to the plate.

...you think how if Bud Selig used the era calculator, he could bring back the dead ball next season.

jjmac69 · 10-16-2002, 09:40 PM

you actually think the Red Sox and Cubs could have a shot at the series

...your friend asks you what were Ty Cobbs's batting average and hits, and you say "Ty Cobb had a lifetime batting average of .327 with 3189 hits. Oh wait, I'm sorry, he had a lifetime batting average of .344 with 3588 hits." Then some hours later you realize you got confused between the two historical sims you're running, and apologize to your friend for costing him a shot at a thousand dollars from a radio program contest.

Erich Ingram · 10-17-2002, 04:07 PM

Now that is outstanding.

.... you're attending a baseball game and are shocked when the game is actually called due to rain.

.... you are confused how a pitcher can "pitch around a batter" AND "hold the runner"

CMH · 10-17-2002, 09:54 PM

...when you end up waiving a player on your fantasy baseball team that suffered a CEI in your OOTP league.

Ouch. I'm still amazed that players with CEIs still hang around the free agent pool. Like, who is going to pick them up?

...we re-structured our online league, the Great American Pastime Baseball League, by folding the Marlins and Devil Rays; moving the Expos to D.C. and re-naming them the Senators; and re-aligning the Brewers to the AL. After all this (and please take my advice - never, ever undertake a dispersal draft) I was watching SportsCenter one morning and got really confused when they showed highlights from a Marlins game before I realized that the "real" Marlins were, in fact, still playing in South Florida.

They only hang out until the end of the season and then retire. Basically there is no retirement during a season so that is why they stay there and are not just deleted from the league.

...when you talk about how Frank "Home Run" Baker got his nickname for his 1921 season with the St. Louis Browns when he hit 37 homers and ushered in a new era in baseball.

cacrowl · 10-18-2002, 05:29 PM

...when you spend all afternoon at work looking through the boards for helpful info, and looking at You Know You Play OOTP To Much When...

Wait, alt+tab...., boss came by.

That was close

Drood · 10-19-2002, 04:24 AM

... When you actually start watching baseball!!!

Seriously, I've always been a mild fan, but only caught highlights. I got OOTP4, and have actually followed a few games now, and will probably catch some of the World Series.

Yes, I'm a newbie to baseball pretty much. Hence the question. CEI? What does that mean? Sorry for the dumb noobie question, but we gotta learn somewhere

In return, I can bore you endlessly about soccers offside rule

Or the myriad technical rules of F1 motor racing (A sport I know VERY well).

Seriously, what the heck is CEI?
