Jun 28th, 2008 | By Melky | Category: 2008-3 Elite League

We are back with a quick league update. Today, the managers of some of the major elite teams and their representatives met at the Netamin vent to update the community on the upcoming league. I did my best to take some notes on the meeting before i had to head out for food :P. Anyway [...]



School’s Out Blowout: Recap and Netamin’s Awards

Jun 26th, 2008 | By Melky | Category: Team Tournaments

Long time no hear from. A lot has changed in the world of RBO but I will just recap the School’s Out Blowout Finals where Empire defeated FlightNL 10-8 on a walkoff homerun by Frogger. Frogger was the star of the game, homering twice and making stellar plays in the infield all game. Smokeout pitched [...]

Jun 19th, 2008 | By Newbert | Category: Team Tournaments

Well, well, well…Looks like we’ve got another tournament of surprises. Rage pulled off another upset, HaZeD was subbed out after just 3 innings for Roto NL, and Hybrids look like they are left for dead.
I’m going to entrust Melky with the job of handling the Top Performer’s for the rest of this tournament. [...]

Empire vs. Lynx
Lynx sat at home watching the first round of the School’s Out Blowout waiting to see if they would face off against Empire or TechEast. Both teams would provide a challenge to the newest Elite team so they knew that Wednesday night would be a hard fought first game. Lynx has been one [...]



School’s Out Blowout: Round 1 Recap

Jun 18th, 2008 | By Melky | Category: Team Tournaments

Round 1 of the School’s Out Blowout 2008 Tournament figured to be a solid one. The tournament itself was filled with small story lines that the typical baseball fan would love to follow. You had the defending champions attempting to repeat, the newly molded Tech teams, the return of FlightNL, and the game of the [...]

Jun 17th, 2008 | By Megatron | Category: Interviews

In every sport there are names attached to them, a name that invokes that thought of the other one. Football has the Montana or Elway, Bradshaw or Emmitt. Hockey has maybe one universal one in Gretzky. Baseball has Ruth and Bonds, Griffey and Clemens. When it comes to Real Baseball and UBO MelkyNYY is one [...]



School’s Out Blowout Preview

Jun 17th, 2008 | By Melky | Category: Team Tournaments

By now, the school year is all but over for much of the United States. The kids get out of an 8 hour jail sentence and get to spend those 8 hours playing Real Baseball Online. The summer has always been an interesting time. The veterans and adults despise it, as their late night sessions [...]

Yes this game is not perfect, but considering that people still play it it is certainly playable. Well, here we go!! The Top 10 Reasons [...]
