THE TEAM split a Doubleheader. There was a lack of rhythm and people getting hurt all over the place. Dave hit his first Home Run. He was zooming around the bases with a giant smile on his face so that's fun. Roxan hit a Home Run. That puts her into an exclusive club with Aerial.
Hey
Another player hit his 100th game in the Modern Era. It is Lou. Wait until you hear these numbers!
Lou has hit .829 (306-369) with 262 RBIs. He's got 84 Doubles, 44 Triples and 67 Home Runs. He's also got 25 Walks.
OK
GO THE TEAM!!!

Game 7 - Bound to Happen
The chances of having a perfect season were pretty slim. That's no secret. Still, that kind of collapse is hard to take. THE TEAM was looking good just like the first 6 games of the season. THE TEAM was looking good for the first 5 innings. Then filled the diaper of defeat and...
Let's just skim over that catastrophe and move right on to Dora.
Dora played in her 100th game. That's a lot of shots down the third base line and a lot of clever mall-walking around the bases. Dora has had 161 hits for a .469 average. She has 83 RBIs, 15 Doubles and a Triple. She has only 7 Walks in 343 At Bats. She is there to play. Good job Dora.

Game 6 - THE TEAM = Winners
THE TEAM just keeps on rolling. Twelve players played and twelve players had hits. THE TEAM is playing well but the nice thing is that THE TEAM is playing realistic softball and not some weird out of our minds run that will never last. THE TEAM has never been 6-0. Let's bust out the Chris Kiefer Heroin because it is officially another winning season for THE TEAM.
The sentence "Lou really wore out my daughter" would normally be followed by either murder or an appearance on Dateline NBC but this is softball so let's all calm down. Maddie went 2 for 3 and both of those singles were followed by Santini Home Runs giving him 5 RBIs on the day. Maddie was running for Melody and got to go first to home a third time after Peter drove in two on a triple.
Speaking of Peter. The Modern Era for THE TEAM starts in Fall 2011. The history goes back to Winter 2008 but there were some changes after the drama of the Summer 2011 season so the continuous stats only go back to Fall 2011.
Anyway
In the "Modern Era" Peter played his 100th game. Are you ready to admire some eye-popping numbers? Peter has 271 hits in 366 at bats (.740). He has 53 Doubles, 14 Triples, 47 Home Runs and 255 RBIs. How about that!
Clearly Peter is a major reason why THE TEAM is 6-0 but it is really about how well everybody is playing together and how much everybody keeps improving.

Game 5 - THE TEAM has seen it all
Swear Jar Millionaire and Major League Vulgarian Victor is always quick to demand that this blog be some kind of love letter to anything worthwhile that he does for THE TEAM. This time he really earned it. He really fuckin' earned it. In the clutch. Full Bambino shot. THE TEAM wins 9-8.
It was tight game. You have to give Comic Relief credit. They turned two double plays and did a great job killing the rally.
It was scoreless after the first inning. THE TEAM had two weird assed innings that were defensive collapses but kept it close. Lou had 4 RBIs. Kelly was awesome at third base. Aerial made a great catch in center. It was a snug back and forth game between two undefeated teams.
THE TEAM held Comic Relief scoreless in the top of the 6th to keep the 8-8 tie then came Victor and lights out. In the 114 games THE TEAM has won, this is the first walk-off Home Run.
Sweet Victory!
Let's look at the leaders after the First Round

Two Softball Games in One Afternoon
It's no secret that Doubleheaders are exhausting. Even on an exquisite day like the one we had, there is nothing left in the tank once it is time for all those insincere high fives.
Sweeping a Doubleheader and making the playoffs certainly smooths out a lot of that dusty, sweaty, tired deal.
Lou and Victor hit Home Runs.
Kelly made a nice leaping catch at second. She gets a sincere high five for that.
Melody took pictures. When do we get to see those?
Dora nut tapped that incompetent umpire... or did THE TEAM just dream that?

Game 3 - Trying to Suck
It didn't matter though.
THE TEAM hit .692 and scored 23 runs. Sloppy is inexpensive when THE TEAM hits like that. It was another one of those proud moments with 12 players playing and 10 players having RBIs. Peter went 4 for 4 with a Double, a Triple and 3 RBIs. Dave went 3 for 3 with a Double and 3 RBIs. Lou went wild going 3 for 4 with 2 Home Runs, a Double and 7 RBIs. Victor the swear jar millionaire drove in 2 on a Triple.
The ladies were neck deep in bad assery. Dora went 3 for 3 with an RBI. Natasha went 2 for 3 with a Double and 2 RBIs. Natalia went 2 for 2 with a walk and 2 RBIs. Aerial went 4 for 4 with an RBI.
There were a couple of two out rallies that also need to be acknowledged. Those really show that THE TEAM is through screwing around.
The Google image search was part of an effort to get a Weird Al joke in there but that went into the tank just like the Ivan Drago joke last week.

Game 2 - What?
We could call it Game 1 since it is the first game of the season because of the rainout but that doesn't matter. The important thing is that THE TEAM won 17-11.
Even though it is the same as last season, let's look at the roster anyway
1 Aerial
3 Lou
8 Maddie
10 Melody
12 Natasha
15 Natalia
18 Rick
19 Doug
24 Peter
25 Dora
27 Victor
30 Kelly
38 Dave
Lovely
Twelve of those players played in Game 2 or 1 or whatever. All 12 had hits and 8 players had RBIs. When everybody contributes THE TEAM is tough to beat. There were Home Runs by Lou, Peter, Victor and Doug. These were legitimate Homers too not some clumsy outfielder rolling around in the grass. Doug had 5 RBIs. Victor almost had 5 RBIs but got hosed up on a bad call. Come on Blue! Melody knows to tag up on a fly ball!
Dora went 3 for 4 with an RBI. Natasha went 2 for 3 with 3 RBIs. Maddie collected her first hit in a League Game. Aerial ended it all with a great shoe string catch.
I was doing Google Image searches of Dolph Lundgren because there was going to be an Ivan Drago joke in there somewhere that didn't really come together. They can't all be Home Runs
