Game 9 - Your Mileage May Vary

THE TEAM took that Swiss Cheese Defense and added some Limburger Cheese Offense.  Phew!

THE TEAM hit a season low .433.  Thirteen players played and only seven had hits.

Limburger Cheese indeed.

There is one game left so even if the playoffs are only possible if 144 things fall into place, a wining season is still within reach.

GO THE TEAM!!!

Doubleheader in The Summer

THE TEAM split a Doubleheader.  This was done by hitting a season high .710 in the first game and then unveiling a swiss cheese defense in Game 2.

Aren't Dave's Home Runs the best?  He looks like Charlie running home to tell Grandpa Joe about his Golden Ticket.

There are also a couple of milestones to acknowledge.  Peter join Lou in the rare air of the 300 hit club.  Victor joined Melody, Dora, Doug, and Natasha in the 100 hit club.

This is history people!

GO THE TEAM!!!

Game 6 - Old Friends and New Insults

We should first congratulate I'd Hit That for making the playoffs.  That moved them up to F league for the second round so THE TEAM got to play them for the first time in a couple of seasons.  They seemed particularly frisky.  They had lots to say about everything.  It was a fun and lively victory.

Between that and Lady licking Melody's hand instead of trying to devour it, it was a magical day.

Another miracle was that Victor finally quit farting around and collected some hits.  He hit another Grand Slam, had 3 Doubles and 6 RBIs.  Love Potion # 27 has 6 hits all season but he has 13 RBIs. What in the name of Adam Dunn is that all about!

Natasha is back from wherever the hell she was.  She did a great job pitching and also went 2 for 4 with 2 RBIs.

Kelly, who has been locked in all season, went 4 for 5 with 2 RBIs.

Yes the fissures in the skull of this version of THE TEAM are coming together even if we do treat each other like shit sometimes.

I blame Lady

What are you lookin' at?

GO THE TEAM!!!

The First Round

Victor hit a Grand Slam in the 19-10 victory over Team Coco.  It was a hot and sweaty deal.  The whole game was hot and sweaty not just the Grand Slam.  THE TEAM finished the first round with a cute little 3-2 record.  Let's look at the leaders at the half way point

A Week Off in the Summer

There was no game this week because of Father's Day.  That's nice.  There was a time when we would have Mother's Day off but to hell with Dad, get out there and play.  One of the things that is usually in the blog at the beginning of a season is the roster.  Some players were changing their numbers so it seemed like a good idea to wait until all that was settled.  It looks like this:

  3 Lou
  5 Kelly
  7 Natasha
  8 Aerial
10 Natalia
18 Rick
19 Doug
22 Dave
23 Melody
24 Peter
25 Dora
27 Victor
Sweatshirt Roxy.

You know how Doug takes all those Walks?  Well listen to this,  Melody is coming close to her 100th game but she already has 101 Walks.  She is in the 100 hit club also.  That 100 hit club is growing.  It looks like this:

100 Hits

Doug
Melody
Dora
Natasha

200 Hits

Peter
Rick

300 Hits

Lou

The train just keeps rolling

GO THE TEAM!!!

Sore Losers

THE TEAM got swept in a Doubleheader and was clearly pretty pissed about the whole thing.  "Sore Losers" might not sound flattering but there is no shame in playing hard and expecting to win.  The taste of victory is never stale.

THE TEAM absolutely requires it.

Kelly let her bat do the talking.  Kelly rarely lets her talking do the talking so her bat really let them have it.  She went 5 for 6 with 2 RBIs.  It was a blizzard of F-words and Yo Mama jokes.

From the bat

GO THE TEAM!!!

Game 1 - Summer 2015

I Drink Your Milkshake!

Nothing like a tired assed reference from 2007 to illustrate how THE TEAM dominated the first game of the summer season.  THE TEAM got the shut out and beat Bobrick Coed 20-0.  Imagine that they were sanctimonious weenies so THE TEAM murdered them with a bowling pin.

It was like that.

THE TEAM shook off a little rust after a slow start.  It was 3-0, then it was still 3-0, then it was 5-0 and then THE TEAM got to the murder part.

Everybody had their hands on the bowling pin.  Eleven players played and eleven players had hits. Nine players had RBIs.  Lou hit a Home Run.  Peter hit a Home Run.  Natalia made a great catch on a foul ball.  She literally kicked the bucket making that play.

Roxy hit the second  Home Run of her short history with THE TEAM.

Natasha went full Daniel Plainview though.  She should have been wearing a hat and a mustache.  She not only pitched three shutout innings...  she not only went 3 for 3 and led THE TEAM with 5 RBIs...  but after 65 games... she hit her first Home Run.  It was a brutal 3 run shot.  Magnificent!

Sweet Victory!

THE TEAM is looking great and ready to bring Championship form to F League.  THE TEAM has a competition in it.  It wants no one else to succeed.

GO THE TEAM!!!
