HOF Ruth Moments... and my wife

For the Ruth moments, I started off by playing in order, like I always do. Beat the Orioles. OK. This is easy. Decided to skip straight to HOF challenges at the end. For me, this is no easy task. I beat the AL East, 1-0 mainly because of a bases loaded walk. So, I skipped to NL "final" for the heck of it. Yikes.

I'm struggling away. I'm facing Sheffield in the bottom of the 5th, score 0-0. My wife walks into the room mid-pitch and says "hello". I look up to say "hi", wasn't paying attention and grooved a fastball straight down the middle. He blasted a no-doubter 450 feet. My wife says "Yay! Nice one!" I said "that wasn't me". She said "I thought you were good at this game. You play it all the time."

Top of the 6th, down 1-0. Scratch out 2 walks, then my newly acquired Posada hits a 3 run HR. My wife says "Awww... another HR? I'm sorry." I said "that was me this time". She said "Oh. Did you put it on an easier setting?"

Married 22 years. Love her to pieces. Still.

I’m crying lol I feel like I had that same convo with my wife toooo lmao

She’s a keeper man, kudos!

Nice man. My wife just knows to ask if it’s a real game aka H2H so she knows if I can help her with whatever she needs or not

Have definitely had the same thing happen to me

Anytime the RNG gets too hard to handle just make sure you take advantage of that 7inning stretch if you catch my drift Baseball season back baby .

10/10 post of the week right here

bless up to our wives i know this convo all too well lol

That's funny. My wife knows to look at the screen before talking. My rule is don't talk to me if I'm batting. If im pitching she'll talk.

That is a good rule.

This happens everyday ....the Hi! The Groove a meatball part. Great post!!!

I just ignore for like 10 secs then pause now.

Being single without a woman sucks, but being alone is gold doing this or other hard gaming stuff.
Just beat Alien: Isolation on Hard. Wifey doesn't need to hear me raging: 'How did this flipping alien know i was here????' Or "That was a perfect/perfect!'

To me I just keep thinking of the convo in Major League between Pete Vokovic (Bring him into the game SDS I want a Clu Heyward card) and Clevelands catcher "how's your wife and my kids" genuinely one of the better one liners to this day

Funniest story on the forums I've ever read. @arvcpa I have my family trash talk me as well lol

I feel you. I love my wife, but anytime she talks to me while I'm playing my success rate falls to about negative 45 percent.

This gets my vote for post of the year!
