Week 11 Scores

No major upsets during the final week of the regular season....however, we have had a team make history.  Nobody thought that anyone would ever be able to match the Detroit Lions in '08, but Team Extreme has found a way to match thier 0-16 record.  I do have to say that there team has stayed very up-beat during what has got to be a miserable year, and dispite all the losses they seem to have fun and keep things positive.  Round 1 is there chance to make thier year memorable...and they did give the #1 Seed Doublewide a close game earlier in the year. Upset special..... ??? It has happend before...

13-3 Playoffs Next Week

The last game of the regular season was a very tight game against Team Alliance. Down by 4 after two innings, we stormed back with one of our best innings in a long time by getting 9 straight hits and scoring 7 runs in the third.  From there it become a very defensive battle, trying to limit each base and each run.  Late in the game, a 2 run triple by Timmy followed by a 2 run homer from Nelson gave us what we needed as our D tightened up to finish the comeback.
Final Score: 14-12

It looks like we will be playing Alliance again in the first round of the playoffs next week.  Our games have been tight against them, but our left fielder has been strong in all three games....combining for 6 RBI and 7 runs scored.  We will need another strong week from him to advance...

B-Dubs Playa of the Week
Tim Erickson
4-5 with a 2B, 3B and 3 RBI.
Every time he steps on the field he has a chance to make a play.

Week 10 Scorez

It seems like only yesterday when we were in sole possesion of the #1 seed, unfortunatly that is only a memory as the playoffs are only 1 week away and we have lost 2 of our last 3.  Our guaranteed win match-up against either Team Extreme or Silver Bullets in the first round is likely dead.  However, lets look at the bright side:

• We no longer have the pressures of an unbeaten season weighing on us
• We have gotten our losses out of the way before the playoffs
• Whenever we play an easy team we usually follow it up with a sub-par performance
• We have beaten both higher seeded teams this year
• We proved we can win it all last year
• We have yet to wear our championship T-shirts yet...idea for next week?
• We get our starting pitcher back next week who has been gone since mid june

As the great leader of men Mike Tice likes to say, once you are in the tournament, anything can happen... and, if your going to get ready for a street fight, you better start getting ready now... and  the good captain's got to pilot the ship through the rough waters and get it to home port. Go EAGLES...E.A.G.L.E.S... and last but not least... ok, calm down!

12-3 Now looking at the #3 Seed.

The long 4th of July weekend wasn't enough to snap us out of our slump as the Turkeys seemed to make solid contact on nearly every swing and scored 10 runs in the first.  We tried to crawl back into it but could never put together the big inning we needed.  Next time we will have to let them go when a team doesn't realize they have a double-header and begins to drive out of the parking lot...
Final Score: 11-18

Game 2 went much smoother as we got to play our favorite opponents.  We have never lost to the Bullets and this game was never in question after we scored 10 runs in the first two innings.  A walkoff HR by Tim put it away.  This game helped us stop our losing streak, but only time will tell if its enough to bust us our of our mini slump before playoffs.
Final Score: 13-3

B-Dubs Playa of the Week
Chad Nelson
5-7 with 1 HR and 6 RBI's.
Another solid week from Nelly who managed to get in his signature head first slide into 3 base.

Week 9 Scores

Not a lot to say here... we have 3 games left in the regular season and seeding is not set.  By my calculation, Doublewides magic number for the #1 seed is 2.  We are still in the #2 position, however Dead Money could pass us if we lose again since we are tied head-to-head and thier scoring differential is unreal.

11-2 Belated Update

The first game was completly one sided and Team Extreme didn't score a run until the last inning as we cruised to a very easy victory. 
Final Score: 21-2

Game 2 was the complete opposite was we were on the other end of the stick.  After leading 3-2 after the first, we proceeded not to score another run as Dead Money continued to place balls perfectly and run up the score.  The game was over after 5 innings. 
Final Score: 3-16

B-Dubs Playa of the Week
Aaron Miller
5-8 with 2 HR and 9 RBI's.
His bomb against Dead Money gave us a brief lead and kept us from being shut-out.
