Week 8 Recap - Another Day at the Office

Not gonna belabor the games, nobody was missing this week so we all know how it went. (Well, let me take that back, forgot about DAN) Very workman like... we kept both teams at arms length both games. The only drama really was provided by Derek again, who was talking trash with the SS from Black Matter, and then in the second game tripped over himself multiple times trying to field a dribbler up the line. I thought I was gonna have to bust out the super white hot flame for Fosmo, but he cooled off dramatically after his going 2-2 with 2 HR's to start of the evening. Tom provided a nice touch pre-game by picking up the tab at the Spur... which I think helped lead to our relaxed and enjoyable evening.

Here are the scores from the rest of the games, see ya next week!

Week 7 Scores

Scores just came in.  Nothing too surprising...

Also, here is a picture of the now famous Ford from last night. Please give a moment of silence for the windshield sometime today.

Week 7 Recap - An Interesting Night

It was an interesting night of softball to say the least. The rain held off for the most part and we ended up with a few milestones....

Game one featured our first tie in team history. It pretty much felt like a win though after our very slow start and the multiple comebacks we had. Instead of trying to remember every twist and turn I thought I would just post the scoresheet below. It was a very exciting last few innings. It could have very easily been a win as our last out was made on a HR...

Game two was a totally different story as we couldn't have started out hotter. In fact, the 17 runs in the first inning has gotta be a team record. Every single person reached base and scored the first time through the lineup leading to a melt down by their picture. It was an unreal start and some of the best hitting we have had all season. We slowly let them creep back into the game, but 5 runs in the 4th gave us the 15 run margin we needed to end it early. Here is the score sheet from that game as well.

I haven't received the scores for the all games, but will put those up here when I get them. 

Week 6 Recap - Humid and Humble

The dugout felt like a sauna but most of us kept our cool in route to our 8th and 9th wins on the season Tuesday.  In a follow up to last week, Scoops had a nice bounce back with some good D and a 6 for 8 night at the plate. He sent the following email last week, and it just might be partially true!

The entire team did play pretty well as well as a whole.  I wouldn't say we cruised to 2 easy wins last night as we had a few defensive lapses, a few untimely walks and a lot of pop ups, not to mention we were actually down 2-3 after 4 innings in game 2.  But we played very solid all around as we rounded the halfway point in the season.  Here are the scores from this week:

At this point Ron's/Doublewide is clearly the team to beat, as we will have some work to do to catch them for the #1 seed. They have the tie-breaker on us already (0-2) so we will need to atleast be tied with them heading in to our matchup in the last week of the season. A lot of time left, but the #1 seed would make the path to the 3-peat more manageable.

Week 5 Recap: Birthday Blues

"Scoops"

It was an up and down night for the birthday boy, and in turn the rest of the team. Its hard to hang the outcome of an entire evening on one mans shoulders, but this week it seems pretty justified.  We came out hot against the previously unbeaten BMW squad with a nice 7-0 lead after 3.  They tied it up after a big 4th inning but from there we pulled away.  The birthday boy was 4-4 in that game with 4 huge RBI which lit a fire under the whole teams asses...  We ended up winning 19-14.

Game 2 was a different story. Scoops lost his mojo and suddenly became afraid of the ball in the field. At the plate he slumped as well, going 1-4. Following his lead, the team defense started slipping too. Heading into the 7th after 3 straight offensive goose eggs we were still sitting at 7 measly runs and down 10. A late comeback sparked by Fosmo's second 3 run bomb of the game made the final score respectable. But this was definitely not a game worth celebrating. Final Score 13-17

Here are the scores from the rest of last nights games...  Looks like BMW dropped there 2nd game as well, losing to Excelsior Brewers (who we play next week).  Black Mater Vortex (our other opponent next week) is also hot putting up 2 wins with a 26-6 margin.  Should be a couple more good games on tap.  Pack your shoes.
