Week 3 Scores

Sorry for the delay... Apparently the new ump is bad at getting the scores recorded in a timely fashion as well...  

Belated Game Recap: 2-1

Blogger had some issues this week and we are finnally able to post again... they even removed the stats update.. I had to re-enter them.  Anyway, we got a glimpse of Team Striechers last week (although it was hard to see them due to thier camoflauge jerseys).  Wah Wahh.  After a rough start, we handily took care of bizz nizz.  Down 5-2 after 2... we proceeded to score 7 runs in the third and played lock down D after that.  Our bats were very consistant as we totalled 26 hits in the game.  We play this team 2 more times later in the season so it is nice that we seem to match-up well against them.
Final Score: 17-6
Tom had his hitting streak snapped at 10 straight this week (nice run man), but Hof sprayed the ball all over the field, and over the fence to lead the offensive outbreak.

Nice game... if Derek wasn't so slow you would of had the cycle.

Week 2 Scores

Here are the scores from last night...  it looks like they got all the games in... not sure how, must have been a late night.  There were also a couple ties last night... and Park Tavern lost too.  I will try to get the stats updated over lunch...

Season has begun... 1-1.

In our first game against Doublewide in nearly a year, we came out swinging... scoring 10 runs in the first two innings.  For the most part our D was solid,  giving up 1 run or less an inning until the 5th when they heated up alittle bit.  After scoring 5 and cutting the score to 12-8...we answered with 7 the next inning (every hit coming with 2 outs by the way) and put the game away.  It was fun to play DW as they seem like a good group of guys, but it was apparent that they will be lacking swagger until thier new jerseys arrive.  I am sure the guy in charge of ordering those things is taking some heat today.
Final Score: 19-8

Game 2 against PT General Mortage was a completely different story.  We didn't get a chance to play them in the fall league last year, and we may have underestimated them because of that.  They have the appearance of a rag tag bunch of misfits with thier mis-matched jerseys older than average lineup.  Once they start swinging the bats though, your perception changes pretty quick.  These guys are for real... and thier lineup did not seem to have many holes.  With thier average age pushing AARP range, the thought was that thier defense would be lacking, but a few guys in the field have great range and fill the gaps pretty well....  They scored 5+ runs in multiple innings and kept us at arms length all game. We will see how things go, but these guys are the early favorites for the #1 seed. 
Final Score: 8-20

Overall, we played pretty descent this week, especially against Doublewide.  One guy in particular was very consistent.

Maybe that dislocated shoulder helped your swing huh??

Week 1 Scores

The season is finally underway...  Initial thoughts:  PT looks impressive.  The new guys Team Striechers look decent.  Doublewide looked rusty.  As for the Grizzlies... we looked really good...but that was mostly due to the new jerseys.

Opening Day!! (Finally)

One of the rare sunny days this spring finally falls on a tuesday....  It should be sunny and still close to 60 at gametime at 7.  Brian gave me an update on his concussion from this weekend.  He feels pretty good and is going to show up and give it a shot...  Well will have 11 guys so we should be ok if he can't go.  See you guys at field 5, second game is on 6.  Both these teams finished just ahead of us in the fall league so it should be a competive night....

Doublewide.... Destroyed by a tornado!
Park Tavern.... Liquor liscense revoked! 
We comin....  We comin!
