Week 7 Recap - Ribs vs Rbi's

It was a hot and muggy and especially painful night for one member of our squad. We have now settled into 3rd place in the standings after our 4th defeat of the year. Luckily we were able to salvage game 2 despite being shorthanded due to a Tony Romo like rib injury that kept Dan on the bench and caused him to lose his flame for the first time in the last 2 seasons.

Game 1 against the first place Park Tavern squad did not go as planned.  We missed a few plays in the field and once again refused to score runs against them, losing to them for the second time on the year.  We will now have to wait for playoff time to get revenge.  Furthermore Dan's ribs gave out after he smoked a double and put a damper on the game as we had to switch up the D and lost our most consistent bat in the process.  Park Tavern may be in first place now, but they don't print T-Shirts in June.  Come playoff time it will be a whole different ballgame.
Final Score:  Dirty Grizzlies 5 - Park Tavern 8

Game 2 against the BMW went smoother for us even though Dan had to ride the bench to start his recovery program.  With 9 guys in the field we were in danger of having a really bad night.  Fortunately our D tightened up, not allowing any runs in 5 of the 7 innings.  Fosmo played exceptionally well in the outfield making numerous diving catches in left.  We were able to hold off a late rally and hang on to win which left us with a split but left BMW screaming modified swear words at the top of their lungs. 
Final Score:  Dirty Grizzlies 6 - BMW of Minnetonka 4

Week 6 Recap - Get your roll on

It may not have been the most competitive night of softball, but we are starting to get our roll on after a short midseason slump. Everyone got at least 3 hits on the evening and our defense played well as we head into a big game against 1st Place Park Tavern next week at 6:10.

Game 1 against a rag tag Ballz Deep bunch was pretty uneventful except for Derek instigating a near riot with the Ballz Deep bench.  They could barely field a team and didn't bring their usual firepower as half of their guys we missing due to a conflict with a chest waxing convention.  We cruised to an early 5 run lead and kept them at arms length for most of the game led offensively by Dan who went 3-3 with a walk and 5 RBI.
Final Score:  Dirty Grizzlies 13 - Ballz Deep 3

Game 2 against the Stepdads felt more like a pick-up game during recess than something that was actually supposed to be competitive.  After getting up 11-3 in the third we proceeded to shuffle the defense, allowing them to put up a few runs (including an inside-the-parker) that kept the game somewhat close.  We never felt the least bit threatened though and had a nice relaxing victory that also allowed Wunder enough at bats to bust out of his HR slump.
Final Score:  Dirty Grizzlies 16 - Stepdads 9

It would be nice if you'd hit a HR again sometime, but atleast your getting on base.

It was a snag at SS instead of the LC, but it was still pretty.
