Week 4 Scores

Looks like Doublewide stayed hot and knocked off both Dead Money and the Wild Turkeys.  Silver Bullets get another win against Team Extreme who has yet to taste the sweet nectar of victory.

No Berube, No Problem

It wasn't the smoothest game ever played, but the grizzlies continued thier undefeated season with another win against Team Alliance.  The bats were fairly silent except for a 9 run second inning, all of which were scored after the first 2 guys got out.  The most exciting moment of the game came when an Allinance player aggressively argued that we he was safe on play at 2nd base.  Tim's throw easily beat him by a foot and the ump got it right and immediatly yelled back at the player for what seemed like 5 minutes.  The entire exchange was very entertaining seemed to take all of the fight out the thier squad.  

Derek was not present for this game and so at the bar we sprung the idea for the false game report which was posted last week.  He says he knew we won all along, but according to Sam he hasn't been sleeping well and I hope this news makes him feel better.
Final Score: 13-3

Sams last game proved to be his best... and it wasn't wasted in losing effort.

Week 3 Scores

Nothing too earth-shattering... looks like the Wild Turkeys get off the schnide to beat the cocky Alliance squad, and the once high scoring Ballz Deep team averaged only 5.5 runs over last nights games.  This year they are averaging 7.8 runs per game... Last year they averaged over 13.  Incase you are wondering, this year we are at 15.0, in 2009 we were at 14.6 runs per game.

5-0 and still undefeated...barely.

The first game against the undefeated Doublewide squad was tight as expected... the only thing that wasn't expected was that neither of us could hit worth a crap. We were losing 6-7 after 4 innings, but we "exploded" for 6 runs in the last 3 innings to give us the win.  2 dingers in the 6th by Tim and Chad helped give us the final spark we needed to squeak by and take the overall lead in the standings.
Final Score: 12-9

Game 2 figured to be a slugfest since it was a match-up of last years finals.  Not the case.  The weather was hot but our bats were ice cold.  Don Beebe was grounding into double plays, the umpire refused to call strikes, and Hofmiester even got out once.  Dispite all the misfortune and the fact we only scored 7 runs, the story of the game was our defense.  There were nice catches in the outfield, but the SS made countless plays including a few very dificult catches over his shoulder running out to left.  The great D held the aging Ballz Deep team to only 5 runs and preserved our undefeated status.
Final Score: 7-5

3-7 with 3 doubles and 5 webgems.
Brians defense was huge and he probably saved about 7 runs with the plays he made.  Nice work man.

Games Cancelled Tonight!

Buzz-kill. Game is cancelled tonight due to wet fields. It will be rescheduled for June 29th. We have a double-header next week.

House of Speed

After thinking about Dereks embarrassing miscalculation this week when he tried to stretch a single into a triple, I thought we should help him out.  Those of you who listen to KFAN regularly have probably heard a commercial for Don Beebe's House of Speed mixed in between bits for Pilgrim Dry Cleaners and Mauer Chevrolet.  A quick glance at there website shows that they have "Speed Pass"which is basically a free training session... It may take a sit down intervention, but we need to find a way to sign him up before the next time we play Dead Money.

Week 2 Scores

It looks like Doublewide may have improved this year...and they now join us at 3-0 atop the standings. I guess we will find out how legit they are in two weeks...  Lets not look ahead though, our opponent next week lost a nailbitter to Silver Bullets, somehow holding them to only 18 runs.

A win is a win...

Our first ever win against Dead Money was nice... but its hard to feel that great about it though since they only fielded 8 guys.  They got alot of at bats in, but our 11 run 4th inning put the game out of reach.  When they didn't score in the 5th it was officially over. 
Final Score: 20-10

Hof stayed hot and hasn't gotten out once this season, Cary destroyed a ball for a 3 run home run, but one guy deserves some recongnition after battling through some emotional and mental hardship the last few weeks...

Eric Fosmo
3 for 4 with 2 HR and 7 RBI's
It just goes to show you that sometimes the biggest opponent we ever have is ourselves.  Way to go man.

Weather Update
