The Danny Tartabull Game

This originally was going to be a post for the blog, but since it's 12 pages long on Word, I decided to make it its own post with pictures and stuff.  If you have the patience and the same love for barely relevant mid 90's players as us, you'll enjoy this - Steve

Ryan: So, my buddy and eric have been playing this game where we go back and forth with some mediocre 90s baseball players

Steve: oh man that's like my specialty

Ryan: we call it the Danny Tartabull game

Ryan: then I had to help him with Mickey Tettleton and Dean Palmer

Steve: yeah those guys were....decent

Ryan: not great, but you knew who they were

Steve: how about Shawon Dunston?

Ryan: nice

Ryan: I left him a note at the end of the day that said "Paul Sorrento says hi"

Steve: he was...decent...too

Ryan: I'm thinking him a message tonight saying that Delino Deshields is having a party in honor of Devon White

Ryan: brb

Steve: so many worthless baseball cards I have now.....

Steve: we should come up with a mediocre 90s players all-star team

Ryan: that would be an outstanding post

Steve: yeah

Steve: well right now I'm going to get a haircut, but maybe we can do that later

Ryan: haha... good luck with that

Steve: yeah I have to walk a whole 200 yards or so!

Steve: yeah haircuts are short

Ryan: Mike Greenwell

Steve: ooh that's a good one

Steve: how about Darren Daulton

Ryan: haha... when I came back from lunch I had a note that said that Frank Viola had invited Darren Daulton and I to Jim Leyritz's house because they were having a surprise party for Allen Trammel

Steve: oh Frank Viola is good too

Steve: how about Tom Candiotti

Ryan: I said I would only go if Lenny Dykstra was there

Ryan: Candy Maldonado

Steve: Geronimo Berrora

Ryan: nice... I was about to go tere... its just berroa, i think

Ryan: Tony Tarasco

Steve: Paul Assenmacher

Ryan: stupendous... David Segui

Steve: the blonde haired one

Steve: Steve Sabo

Ryan: oh wow

Ryan: I'm stealing these names and bringing them in tomorrow

Steve: haha

Steve: yeah I'm trying to think back to old video games and Sox scorecards

Ryan: well, if you want to think of Sox, think of Sax

Steve: oh its Chris Sabo, not Steve

Ryan: I wasnt sure about that one... Chris sounds right

Ryan: how about Wally Joyner

Steve: ooh that's a good one

Steve: Bret Barbarie

Ryan: oh man

Ryan: Brady Anderson

Steve: original Marlin baby!

Ryan: lol

Steve: Dante Bichette

Ryan: nice!

Ryan: Jay Buhner

Steve: ooh nice

Steve: Glenallen Hill

Ryan: wow... wow.. nice

Steve: I'm checking out my Sox games spreadsheet

Ryan: lol

Steve: I still remember his Grand Slam

Ryan: Ruben Sierra would fit if he wasnt still playing

Ryan: surprisingly, so do i

Steve: yeah the bastard

Steve: you remember Hill hitting a grand slam against the Sox in 1990?

Ryan: oh.. I remember him hitting one as a cub, i think

Steve: ooh Carlos Baerga

Ryan: yep,yep

Steve: ok that was one messed up game

Steve: Sox beat Cleveland 6-5

Steve: Baerga hit 2 HR

Steve: Robin Ventura hit a grand slam, the first ever in the new Comiskey Park

Steve: losing pitcher?

Steve: Tom Candiotti

Ryan: nice

Steve: how about Bobby Thigpen

Ryan: lol

Steve: Melido Perez

Ryan: lol

Steve: Chris Hoiles

Steve: these are all people that will be forever on my spreadsheet for either hitting a HR or getting a pitching decision

Ryan: !

Ryan: Chris Hoiles!

Steve: haha

Steve: Ricky Bones

Ryan: I just called and left Eric a message

Ryan: nice

Steve: remember him? Big Brewers prospect

Steve: what did you tell him?

Ryan: that I was going to play cards with Delino Deshields and Devon White and if he wanted to be a fourth. If not, we could always ask Tom Candiotti

Steve: lol

Steve: I did indeed see Paul Sorrento hit a HR too

Steve: he and Glenallen Hill for the same team in the same game actually

Steve: ooh how about Mark Langston

Ryan: eric called me back

Steve: haha

Ryan: butch huskey

Steve: lol

Steve: I love that name

Ryan: charles nagy

Jlenoky: butch husky

Steve: ok I'm back

Steve: wow butch husky was the first one

Ryan: yeah

Steve: how about Kevin Seitzer

Steve: Luis Sojo

Steve: ooh Damon Easley

Ryan: that is a dynamic trio

Ryan: i especially like seitzer

Steve: how about Luis Polonia

Ryan: outstanding work

Ryan: my brother came up with one that blew me away

Ryan: Greg Vaughn

Steve: oooooo

Ryan: because he couldnt think of any that didnt play for the twins

Ryan: then bam... greg vaughn

Steve: good recovery

Steve: how about famed closer Storm Davis

Ryan: Only if the game was started by john smiley

Steve: ooh that's a good one too

Steve: how about Gary Disarcina

Ryan: excellent work

Steve: Terry Steinbach

Ryan: another former twin

Steve: the funny part is basically all the guys I've mentioned before I saw hit a homer

Ryan: haha

Ryan: you say disarcina hit a homer?

Steve: yep

Ryan: I saw WILL CLARK hit a homer

Steve: how about this for a game

Steve: Angels 8, White Sox 6

Steve: Chicago HR: Tim Raines

Steve: California HR: Jim Edmonds, Gary Disarcina, Damon Easley

Steve: WP: Mike Bielecki

Steve: LP: Jason Bere

Steve: S: Lee Smith

Ryan: ooh

Steve: haha Jeffery Hammonds

Ryan: We should make that allstar team... we each get one team... all 9 positions and a relief pitcher

Steve: what are the guidelines?

Steve: lol

Steve: I think I have a winner

Ryan: they had to have played in the 90's and you have to be reasonably sure that they won't ever be an all star

Steve: Heathcliff Slocumb

Ryan: i mean HOFer

Steve: but isn't it more fun if they were all-stars?

Steve: ahh ok

Ryan: well played

Ryan: you go first

Steve: hold on, reviewing the conversation

Ryan: haha.. all right

Steve: ok I think I have to go with Glenallen Hill since I remember him so well and probably no one else does

Ryan: well, since pitching wins championships, I'm going with John Smiley

Steve: I'll take Chris Sabo to play 1st

Steve: oops he played 3rd

Ryan: I'm going to take this game's namesake.... Danny Tartabull for the outfield

Steve: let me see where Seitzer played

Steve: ahh he was mostly 3rd too

Ryan: i would pick seitzer for first

Steve: I'll take Mark Langston as my SP

Ryan: so seitzer is or is not still on the board?

Steve: he's on the board

Ryan: nevertheless, I'm going to take 1st baseman Will Clark

Steve: ok

Steve: I'm logging this in excel just so you know

Ryan: nice... I'll find their lifetime stats and put them into high heat 2003 and sim a game... best baseball sim ever, btw

Steve: haha

Steve: I'll go with Dante Bichette in LF

Ryan: I'm going to have to go with my favorite player ever... Tim Wallach at 3rd

Steve: haha ok

Steve: here's a new one

Steve: Bobby Bonilla for CF

Ryan: oh no! thats AWESOME

Steve: I'll put Hill in CF, Bonilla in RF

Ryan: Well, since you don't have much more outfield to fill in, I'm going to work on my infield some more... Delino Deshields at 2b

Steve: hmm

Steve: I need 1B, 2B, SS, C, RP

Ryan: what do I need again?

Steve: SS, LF, CF, C, RP

Steve: I'll take Carlos Baerga at 2B

Ryan: Andy Van Slyke.. .where did he play again?

Ryan: what position?

Steve: I think he was CF

Steve: lol that's a great one too

Ryan: I'll take Van Slyke

Steve: haha ok

Steve: we didn't name too many 1B earlier

Ryan: we really didnt

Ryan: David Segui

Ryan: well... in the sim, do we go with a DH or no?

Steve: lol

Steve: haha I got a SS

Steve: Wil Cordero

Ryan: lol!

Steve: yeah we can pick a DH

Ryan: in that case I'm taking Maldonado

Steve: for DH?

Ryan: someone has to take Candy Maldonado

Steve: ooh Cordero still plays, does that count?

Steve: (I had no idea he did)

Ryan: ooh.. thats right... well, bichette still does too, so I'll let both slide

Steve: I'll go with Todd Hundley at catcher

Steve: no screw that I'm taking Tettleton

Ryan: lol

Ryan: nice

Steve: ok you need a SS, LF, C, RP

Ryan: I'll take Lou Whittaker at short

Steve: lol that's a good one too

Ryan: not gonna take him, thought of a good one

Ryan: Archi Cianfrocco

Steve: lol

Steve: ok I'll drop Baerga since he still plays

Steve: and I'll replace him with...

Steve: Mike "leggo my" Gallego

Ryan: lol

Steve: now I need to find a 1B

Ryan: yeah... still your turn to pick

Steve: oh many how can we forget so many good 2B?

Steve: Mickey Morandini

Ryan: yeah, thats a good one

Ryan: im surprised you let steve sax go

Steve: only because he was on the Sox

Steve: they've had lots of messed up guys like Mike LaVallliere

Steve: Lance Johnson

Steve: Ron Karkovice

Ryan: haha

Steve: remember Pete Incaviglia?

Ryan: uh, how can you forget pete incaviglia

Ryan: jim eisenreich?

Steve: haha

Steve: ok at 1B I'll go with Sid Bream

Steve: you need LF, C, RP

Ryan: I was looking at Tettletons stats... most similar by age? Ron Karkovice

Steve: lol

Steve: is that who you want?

Ryan: no

Steve: actually I only didn't take Jaha because you said it first

Steve: but I think he needs to be on one of these teams

Steve: and Bream played mostly in the 80s

Ryan: so you're taking jaha?

Steve: yeah I'll go with him

Ryan: My final outfielder is going to end up being Ray Lankford

Steve: lol

Steve: he was very mediocre

Steve: I'll go with Storm Davis as my closer

Ryan: I'm so torn on this one... I don

Ryan: I think I'll just go with Dan Plesac

Steve: haha that's good

Steve: I'll go with Seitzer as my DH

Steve: you need a catcher

Ryan: hmm...

Ryan: http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/BAL/1997.shtml

Steve: I actually found a better one

Steve: I think it was like the 1994 Brewers

Steve: ooh....Jeff Reboulet

Ryan: Rico Brogna

Steve: lol

Ryan: oh shit... Nilssons my catcher

Steve: 96 Brewers

Steve: Matheny, Jaha, Vina, Cirillo, Valentin, Greg Vaughn, Listach, Mieske, Seitzer

Ryan: lol

Steve: Jeromy Burnitz, Kelly Stinnett, Dave Nilsson, Mark Loretta on the bench

Steve: I love the rotation too

Steve: Ben McDonald, Scott Karl, Ricky Bones, Jeff D'Amico, Cal Eldred, Steve Sparks

Ryan: that's just awful

Ryan: like, your best power hitter is Mickey Tettleton

Steve: I kind of looked at them

Steve: see the ESPN Monday Night Football crew?

Ryan: Chris Sabo is your fastest player

Steve: Joe Theisman, Mike Tirico, Tony Kornheiser

Ryan: yeah no shit... what are michaels and madden doing?

Steve: going to NBC for Sunday Night

Ryan: oh...

Ryan: you have to get me a batting order sometime

Steve: oh man I don't even know

Steve: I should probably pick a different closer

Steve: Davis only has 11 saves

Ryan: ill just leave him in.. I wouldnt worry about it

Steve: lol I have a good  one

Steve: Ricky Bottalico

Ryan: lol

Ryan: 's stats... why don't I add Candiotti to my team and we'll each have three pitchers

Steve: haha ok

Steve: set up guy

Ryan: there you go

Ryan: god... Tartabull is connected!

Steve: lol

Ryan: all right, ill be right back

Steve: ok got my lineup

Steve: 1. Seitzer

Steve: 2. Sabo

Steve: 3. Bichette

Steve: 4. Jaha

Steve: 5. Bonilla

Steve: 6. Hill

Steve: 7. Tettleton

Steve: 8. Cordero

Steve: 9. Gallego

Steve: I'm going to take that shower I wanted to take since coming home from my haircut

Ryan: Deshields was traded once in his career.... that trade was for Pedro Martinez 

Steve: wow

Steve: pretty bad trade

Ryan: indeed

Ryan: averaged

Steve: wow

Ryan: I randomly picked a pretty good team

Ryan: .274 16 25

Steve: I just took a phone survey on beer

Ryan: Clark .303 23

Steve: ooh over .300

Ryan: Tartabull .272 30

Ryan: Whitaker .277 17

Steve: wonder why he didn't play longer

Ryan: Wallach .258 19

Ryan: I'm way to excited by this

Steve: haha go for it

Steve: too bad you can't do it on whatif sports

Ryan: (and if this doesn't turn into a full length 86 page post, I' going to be sorely dissappointed.... the whole conversation.. the game recap... its going to be the coup d'gras of our site)

Steve: haha ok

Steve: I have writers block on my White Sox story....haha

Ryan: not a problem

Steve: so are you going to try to simulate this?

Ryan: yeah

Steve: coolness

Ryan: I say we get this lengthy conversation up, then I'll try to simulate it and see how it goes

Ryan: This is terribly amusing

Steve: haha

Steve: yeah sadly it is

Ryan: I can't wait until the game

Steve: lol

Ryan: im even putting in height, weight, and of course, handedness

Ryan: I'm trying to get the correct baserunning speed

Steve: haha ok

Ryan: you're supposed to be able to adjust the fielding skill, but that usually doesn't go so well

Steve: hmm

Ryan: like, Wallach won the gold glove several years in a row at third

Steve: not too bad

Ryan: Gallego was white, right?

Steve: I think so

Ryan: ugh... I should have picked Greenwell

Steve: well I'm going to eat and call home...I'll be back in a little bit

Ryan: all right

Ryan: Tettleton is a switch hitter, but still

Steve: Bottalico has a big bat

Ryan: I have DeShields and someone else as a southpaw

Ryan: thats right, theres a couple

Steve: wow

Ryan: another name not mentioned.... Kevin Elster

Ryan: Langston is having some control problems

Ryan: All right.. bottom of the first 1 out, your team is up 1-0 after Bichette drives in Kevin Seitzer on a single to left... first hit of the game

Ryan: make that 4

Steve: Smiley isn't cutting it?

Ryan: well, there were 2 for each pitcher... but Van Slyke grounded into a DP and Tartabull struck out

Ryan: I should note that this game is being played at 3 rivers

Steve: haha

Steve: that or Milwaukee County would be the best for this

Ryan: well, that's my home stadium

Ryan: and your team goes down quietly in the bottom half

Steve: ooh

Steve: maybe I should have added Jim Abbott too

Ryan: haha

Ryan: Lankford walks, Nilsson doubles him home.. 3-1

Steve: ouch

Steve: damn Nilsson

Steve: did you give Sabo crazy goggles?

Steve: http://www.grandstandsports.com/images/1612.jpg

Steve: another guy we're missing: Pete Harnisch

Ryan: oh yeah

Ryan: Jaha on 2nd, Hill on 1st, Tettleton singles up the middle and jaha scores... 3-2

Steve: woo hoo

Steve: what inning is this?

Ryan: bottom 4

Ryan: ok, Hill on third, Tettleton on first, 2 out with Gallego up... routine grounder to DeShields who promptly throws it into the dugout.. Hill scores, its 3-3

Steve: haha I guess that's why he's not "ideal"

Ryan: yeah... well, Langston's first pitch of the 5th inning is his 76th of the game

Ryan: two outs in the 6th... Langston throws his 100th pitch

Steve: washed up bastards

Ryan: a quiet 6th, still 3-3.. Storm Davis is up in the pen, but Langston is still toeing the rubber

Ryan: and after walking Lou Whitaker, Langston is pulled

Steve: old Stormy

Steve: I'm in trouble

Ryan: well, there's been a Tom Candiotti sighting... It's in the hands of the relievers now

Ryan: the announcer says "if he breaks his glove, do they call a welder?"

Steve: haha

Steve: leggo my gallego

Ryan: well, nothing comes of it.. Seitzer GIDPS (Wallach to Deshields to Clark) and the Whitaker makes a great play to rob Sabo of a hit

Steve: damn

Ryan: Van Slyke walks, Clark flies out, Tartabull singles, Lankford walks, loading the bases for DAve Nilsson...

Ryan: who strikes out! now with two outs, they bring in Bottalico

Steve: what inning is this?

Ryan: 8th

Ryan: lol... so, they wouldnt let me just go with the 9 players for the batting order, they wanted 10... anyways, Steve Palotto is pinch running for Bichette

Steve: well I had a brief little league stint with the Angels in the 90s

Ryan: nice

Ryan: 9th inning...

Steve: uh oh

Ryan: and Ryan Henning pinch hits for Candy Maldonado and triples... bullshnikies

Steve: is this top or bottom?

Ryan: top

Ryan: you're the home team

Steve: I hope this gets over with quick, I need to get to bed

Ryan: haha... well, I got caught steeling home and DeShields struck out

Steve: nice job

Ryan: and Gallego comes through again with a 2 out double!

Ryan: in comes Plesac

Steve: haha its all up to Seitzer

Steve: well regardless of what happens, at least we made some even teams

Ryan: Seitzer walks

Ryan: then he grounded out... extra innings

Steve: crap I want to get to bed

Ryan: first batter of the tenth, van slyke

Ryan: 5-3

Steve: damn you Bottalico

Ryan: and now its Plesac versus Pallotto

Steve: great

Ryan: it all comes down to this.. Plesac

Ryan: and Bonilla strikes out.. Team Ryan WINS!

Steve: haha alrighty
