Power Pros Forum

Ok, people, after hearing some chatting about Backyard Sports and seeing some non- MLBPP logs, I was inspired to do a Backyard log. This is Backyard Baseball 2003, so most of these guys are retired. Bear with me on this.

Manager Redsfan tightened his clip-on tie, and made his way to the local softball field where his teams were drafted. First, the managers chose team names and colors. Redsfan chose the Green Melonheads, and the colors Red and Green. Then, they chose parks. He called dibs on Scrapco Field, a junkyard stadium only 5 minutes from his house. Then, the draft started. He stared at the rows of kids on the bleachers. Who would he choose?

UPDATE L8TER 2DAY!

Oh, BTW,
Season length: 14 games
Difficulty: Hard
Errors: off (stupid AI)
Swing Spot: On
Pitch Locator: Off

Not completely on topic, but this makes me think of doing a Backyard Basketball 2004 log. Although it is quite boring after a little while to win 100-10 every time. Would it be better to create characters and make up personalities or use characters I know nothing about?

I would make an on-topic part of the post down here, but I don't have enough information to do so.

If you do Hard difficulty, (ERRORS OFF!) and no Pitch locator, and you don't completely fill your team with Pablos and Randy Johnsons, you can lower scores.

If you're doing a 2003 log and cooldude does a 2004 log, I'm gonna do a 2005 log. But seriously, I might. Just to have 3 different years in a row of backyard baseball on here.

Also, as I feel there is some confusion, I feel like I should restate that I have Backyard Basketball 2004, I've never had any of the baseball ones.

Pretty sure there hasn't even been any basketball logs on this forum before.

Oh, sorry. I just sped right through the post and read it as baseball. But I do have Backyard Football 2002. 3 different years & 3 different sports?

Draft Results:
Round 1: Pablo Sanchez: Who else?

Round 2: Pete Wheeler: He's the most underrated player on this game by far.

Round 3: Stephanie Morgan: She can field anything.
Round 4: Ichiro: This kids a beast. He's a great leadoff man.
Round 5: Ricky Johnson: A good pitcher with some wheels. NO hitting ability.
Round 6: Mike Piazza: I love this guy. He can field with the best and can smack a few doubles.
Round 7: Dimitri Petrovich: The lovable nerd with serious pop!
Round 8: Ernie Steele: A tall reliever.
Round 9: Marky Dubois: That hick kid

AL CENTRAL OPENER!
Melonheads 1 4 0
Royals 0 3 0
at: Eckman Acres
Dubois Pitches Gem!
It was a pitcher's duel right from the start. Lefty pitch Marky Dubois really got a rythm going with his left hook and stayed with it all night. Butch Sherrod was no slouch either picking up a respectable 5 Ks in 6 innings work. The Melons struck 1st with a Piazza RBI double and kept the lead for a nailbiting win.

Sunny Day: Now to Barry Dejay for the basketball news

He did say backyard basketball. he should put randy johnson on his team to make it interesting.

Barry Dejay. haha.

He's the announcer on Basketball.
Announcers:
Earl Grey: Soccer
Barry Dejay: Basketball
Vinny Da Gooch: Baseball
Chuck Downfield: Football
Buddy Cheque: Hockey
Erik Stream: Skateboarding

Yes, I own all those.

They actually changed Vinny to Abner Dubbleplay in 2005. Abner is... weird.

I could do a Backyard Football 2002 log, but I never finish my logs, and it would be at least 50-0 every game. AND now its Jack Fouler on Backyard Baseball. I have 09.
