You sleep at home for home games and check into a hotel for away games.

r0nster · 01-09-2018, 08:21 PM

when I come home and go straight to laptop and play OOTP right away and sometimes forget to eat dinner. Also at times think of ways to move players during the day at work.

Just a shame I cant move this game to my cellphone or other devices for I be playing this thing everywhere

I'm lucky enough to use my computer at work, so I just play all the time

Getting to tell other people about your interests who are required to listen... looking into those interests as part of your job.... getting every two weeks off in winter, two weeks off in the spring, every holiday off, along with the entire summer... no overnight hours (unless you're correcting papers, etc.)... and getting to play OOTP when the students are working....

Best job in the world!!!!

(as long as you don't really like money that much...)

When you have your wife dressed as a ball girl and sitting with a glove in her hand..

Never gotten to this point.

Sounds like you've let us into a little bit of your personal life....

Winning your first online league Championship you spend 6 hours on ring websites designing your teams championship WS rings.
Then you wife nicknames you Champ after stating "Your an expletive dork." lol

Move to Texas. With my salary and coaching supplement, I make pretty decent money.

I'm at a small, private school. More of an outreach type of thing than a "make lots of money" type of thing.

Do you coach baseball? I may have been in an online league with you last spring.

Nope, not me. We're slowly trying to get a baseball team, but we only have basketball, soccer, and volleyball currently.

And besides, I don't do online leagues. I run only one league, a fictional dynasty league that I have been playing since 2013. (Though I had an MLB league back in 2010 as well)

I do that. And have been known to do two voices for pbp and colour guys

You lose 4 straight in the NLDS after winning the first two (I made it best of 7 in my latest save, like it should be IMO), and go before a mirror to act out a press conference so you can blow off steam.

C'mon, don't act like you haven't done it.

In front of the mirror?? Never!

...there are people in my house that will hear me

My spot is driving in the car

when you buy iscore baseball app to score games and can't wait for the real season to start to start using it so you are planning on scoring your OOTP season opener in a few days.
