Game 1 - This is the Sucks

Let's start the way we always start.  The roster.  Everybody knows that

 1 Katie Mae
 3 Lou
 4 Lauren
 5 Kelly
 6 Rick
 7 Natasha
22 Dave
23 Melody
24 Peter
25 Dora
33 Jimmy
38 Jack

That's an athletic and attractive group.  That's not the part that is the sucks.

Losing an E League game that THE TEAM should have won is the thing that is dragging this whole blog to a halt.

OK now that's out of the way.  Let's get on with it

THE TEAM hit .515 so that's good.  There is always some defensive razzle dazzle and that's something.  There is a lot of softball left to play so let's celebrate THE TEAM being around for 10 years by winning a championship.

It's true!  THE TEAM started in the Winter of 2008.  There are only two players that have been there for the whole thing.  A lot of people have come and gone.  It could be millions but who cares about them.  Let's focus on who is here now and having a great season.

GO THE TEAM!!!

THE TEAM - THE BLOG

It's not clear where we should start.  Do we acknowledge the new roster?  Do we mention the victory in the placement game?  There seems to be a lot of hostility where that team is concerned.  Maybe that one guy isn't there anymore.  He was a real class act.  Classy like pulling his gym shorts out of his ass before being seated at the Olive Garden and saying it is his birthday when it isn't his birthday.

Let's not do that.

The Fall Season was a brutal 2-8 deal.  It sounds like a roaring furnace of bad softball but really it was more like glowing coals of bad softball.

Here's what you did:

3 Lou played in 10 games. He hit .765 with 17 RBIs with 3 Walks, 4 Doubles, 2 Triples and 3 Home Runs.  He collected his 500th career hit making him the all-time leader for THE TEAM.  He deserves a medal.

4 Lauren played in 9 games.  She hit .379 with 5 RBIs.  She deserves a medal.

5 Kelly played in 10 games.  She hit .371 with 4 Walks giving her on OBP of .436.  She had 2 Triples and 4 RBIs.  She deserves a medal

7 Natasha played in 8 games.  She hit .480 with 2 Doubles and led the ladies with 9 RBIs.  She collected her 200th career hit.  She deserves a medal

15 Debbie played in 3 games and went 2 for 5 before vanishing and she does not deserve a medal

21 Miriam played in 5 games.  She hit .100 with an RBI.  She deserves a medal.

22 Dave played in 6 games.  He hit .438 with 2 RBIs,  He deserves a medal.

23 Melody played in 9 games.  She led the ladies hitting .583.  She had 6 Walks for an OBP of .667.  She had a Double and 2 RBIs.  She deserves a medal.

24 Peter played in 10 games.  He led THE TEAM hitting .778.  He led THE TEAM with 27 RBIs passing 400 RBIs for his career.  He had 2 Doubles, 3 Triples and 5 Home Runs.  Guess what he deserves.

25 Dora played in 9 games.  She hit .393 with 5 RBIs.  She deserves a medal.

33 Jimmy played in 10 games.  He hit .765 with 21 RBIs.  He had a Triple and a Home Run and led THE TEAM with 7 Doubles.  He deserves a medal.

38 Jack played in 9 games.  He hit .704 and led THE TEAM with 6 Home Runs.He had 2 Doubles and Triple and 23 RBIs.  He really went bananas in the second round.  AND he deserves a medal.

There you have it

GO THE TEAM!!!
