Scoring the Game

[Frayed Knot]

]For force outs: Reyes walked with 2 outs. LoDuca grounds to second baseman, who flips to SS at second to get the force out. In Reyes's box, solid line from HP to 1st, labeled BB. A line halfway between first & second, with a hatchmark at the end of the line. In bottom left-hand corner of Reye's box, #3, circled. In LoDuca's box, 4-6. Bottom right-hand corner of his box is filled in to indicate that his was the last at bat.

That's pretty much what I do as well. Whenever a baserunner is out advancing to a base I use the hatchmark to indicate that (out stretching; out trying 1st to 3rd on single, etc.) and then a small notation next to it as to how; like 'CS' for caught stealing, '8-2' if out tagging, etc.

I also use the circled number thing to indicate which out of the inning it is - but only when I think it's neccesary because the outs occured "out of sequence". For instance if LoDuca K's in the above example and then Delgado grounded into the force then the circled numbers ('1' in LoDuca's box, '2' in Reyes's) help you remember that LoDuca's out occured before Reyes's. Sometimes it can be even more confusing if odd base-running plays happen.

And Frayed Knot dutifully returns the topic to scoring baseball games for the top of page 4.

We'll both be Strawberries for a while, though. You're much closer to Darryl than I am to whoever's next.

Maybe I need to participate more often in the IGT's so I can increase my post count faster.

Oh come on. Edgy dating a Mother Superior completely knocks that gay icon status for a loop.

I don't have any sex w/nuns stories to add.
I've led such a sheltered life.

Let's stop here before any former altar boys start spilling their guts about the priests.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

You don't have to give up hope, Mr. Knot. There are a lot of single nuns out there.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

[Frayed Knot]

I'd venture to say that most nuns are single.
Problem is, I'm not Catholic.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Must.
Change.
Thread.
Direction.

[Guest cooby]

That's a cute bikini.

I'd pick this one:

"Scoring" has taken on several meanings in this thread.

Are nuns eligible for the Pretty thread?

[Elster88]

I was about to add her.

The one sticking out her tongue of course.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Natcherly.

Oh come you set that on a tee for cooby when you wrote "superior friend."
You HAD to know what was coming.

Edgy's desperately trying to change this from a sexy nun thread to a Batman thread.

[Willets Point]

Uh-oh, I've got the angry Batman on my case now.

So um, my favorite baseball score is WW for "Wasn't Watching" even if it was originally attributed to Phil Rizzuto.

Of course, Batman is a gay icon:

In a vain attempt to refocus...

I also use a simple lowercase "out" when I miss a play that resulted in one.

Daredevil's mother was a nun.
