Giving it Away to Thee Rookies

Thee Rookies where a savvy bunch.  They knew what they were going to have to do to win.  But the truth is that THE TEAM gave that game away.  There were errors all over the place.  THE TEAM batted a season low .480 with only 2 doubles.

Yuck!

That one hurt and not just because Dave bled all over the place.  It was probably my least favorite game since that fucked up pitcher from The Jensen Warriors wanted to fight everybody a few seasons ago.  ( I think nobody remembers that.  There are a lot of new people on THE TEAM)

Anyway

GO THE TEAM!!!

Game 5 - The Fockers

The games against The Fockers are always fun.  They are competitive and we usually win.  THE TEAM had some playes bail out late so we had to play short handed for the first time ever.  That meant Melody and Natasha were taking turns running from the outfield to the infield.   Lou did a great job pitching the whole game and everybody was hitting so the first round ends with THE TEAM 4-1 and hopeless in the tie-breaker.  At least The Burbank Chills did not benefit from their forfeit.  Blood and Spit will win the first round. 

Who cares about those assholes

The Doubleheader

THE TEAM split a doubleheader.  It stings a little extra because if THE TEAM swept we would have won the first round no matter what happened in week 5.  Instead we are 3 and 1 and need some help.  Of course we are assuming that The Fockers did not beat the Burbank Chills in their second game.( The line from Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas was Burbank Chills - 11.5 with an over/under of 33) 

In the first game THE TEAM batted .533 with 4 Home Runs, 4 Doubles, 1 Triple, 8 Walks and 2 Strikouts.  That was a 19-15 win over The Bombers.  Lou and Peter hit 2 Home Runs each.  The towel filled with shaving foam goes into the face of Lou because he had 5 RBIs.  Dora went 1 for 2 with a double and 2 RBIs so she gets a tub of Gatorade dumped across her back. 

Game 2 had THE TEAM down early.  It was 11-5 after the first inning.  THE TEAM didn't score in the next two innings but neither did The Burbank Chills.  After that it all unraveled but there was a nice rally in the last inning that served to almost disguise the ass-kicking the THE TEAM absorbed.  Not really though.  THE TEAM batted .536 with 2 Home Runs, 4 Doubles, 2 Triples, 5 walks and a very attractive zero strikeouts.  Still it was 25-14 Burbank Chills.    

The line from Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas for THE TEAM winning a championship:   THE TEAM +110

Game 1 - The Flappers

THE TEAM got to play an actual game instead of a cheap forfeit.  It's so much more fun to beat The Flappers 22-4 than it is to have Blood and Spit forfeit because they tried to borrow a loud-mouthed pile of hamburger from the Burbank Chills.

Anyway

The Flappers added some ladies who could play but it just didn't matter.  THE TEAM batted .632 with 2 Home Runs, 2 Triples, 6 Doubles, 7 Walks and only 1 strikeout.  Dave pitched 3 strong innings, Dora found the mark and did a great job fielding in her inning of pitching and then Lou slammed the door.  The Flappers never stood a chance.

Doug The Iron Gigante went 4 for 4 with a Triple and 3 RBIs.  Lou went 3 for 3 with a Home Run, a walk and 3 RBIs but the towel full of shaving foam goes to the face of  Peter who went 4 for 4 with a Home Run, 2 Doubles and 3 RBIs.

THE TEAM added a new player.  Natasha went 2 for 2 with a Triple, 2 RBIs and 2 Walks.  She gets a barrel full of Gatorade dumped across her back.

Everyone played a great game.

GO THE TEAM!!!

Practice Game Numero Uno

It was good to see The Flappers back.  It was even better to see Beth pitching.  She did a great job.  THE TEAM only struck out once and kept the errors down so things are looking up for the Summer 2012 Season.

There are no statistics for the practice rounds so you can fill in whatever you did in the game.  Feel free to lie and award yourself some homeruns you didn't hit and some game saving catches you didn't make.  Hell you can even steal a couple of bases even though we can't really do that in Coed Slow Pitch.

It's all good fun when THE TEAM wins 21-9

GO THE TEAM!!!

THE TEAM - Winter 12

THE TEAM split a doubleheader to finish the season 6-4. That first game against The Great Bambinos was like error porn but THE TEAM defense tightened up against The Fockers.

So there you go.

It always ends up being a quick skim over the details when there is a doubleheader. It's a lot of softball. Lou's Grand Slam certainly stands out. That and the hardcore error porn. Steamy!

Let's see what you did this season:

2 Sema played in 8 games. She batted .375 with 7 RBIs, 2 doubles, a triple and 3 walks for an OBP of .444. Sema came in with a lot to learn and she improved a lot throughout the season.

3 Lou played in 10 games. He lead THE TEAM with an .811 batting average. He had 28 RBIs with 6 Home Runs, 9 Doubles, 2 Triples and 6 walks. Lou's determination makes everybody play better.

8 Jad played in 8 games. She batted .333 with 2 RBIs, a Double and 9 walks for a .533 OBP. She also didn't take any shit from anybody

10 Melody played in 5 games. What a 5 games though! She batted .727 with 8 RBIs, 1 Double, 1 Triple and 6 walks. That's an OBP of .824 on top being great at second base. Her injury was a terrible loss for THE TEAM

15 Dora played in 9 games. She batted .400 with 5 RBIs, 4 Doubles and 1 walk. Dirty Dora is there to play. She is all hustle. She also never struck out and didn't walk until the 9th game of the season.

16 Beth played in 10 games. She batted .217 with 6 RBIs and 6 walks for an OBP of .379. She did a great job at second base after Melody did whatever the hell she did to herself.

17 Amy played in 10 games. She batted .300 with 4 RBIs 2 Doubles and 6 walks for an OBP of .417. She also ran like hell and burned more calories per game than any two players on THE TEAM.

18 Rick played in 10 games, batted .794 with 20 RBIs 9 Doubles 2 Triples and 2 walks.

19 Doug played in 10 games. He batted .706 with 13 RBIs, 7 Doubles, 1 Triple and 2 walks. What an absolute stallion.

24 Peter played in 10 games. He batted .676. He led THE TEAM with 32 RBIs. He led THE TEAM with 8 Home Runs. He also had 5 Doubles and 3 walks. He can field. He can throw. He can be one helluva a good guy. He might be using the same performance enhancing drugs that Ryan Braun used.

25 Andrew played in 5 games. He batted .733 with 4 RBIs and 2 Doubles. He hurt his back. I hope he is OK.

38 Michelle played in 6 games. She batted .167 with 2 RBIs and 6 walks for an OBP of .318. She was the most relaxed player on THE TEAM. Except for when it was time for her to bat or she didn't care for a call the umpire made. Other than that

99 Chris played in 8 games. He batted .704 with 10 RBIs, 7 Doubles and 3 walks. Chris is a founding member of THE TEAM and in 12 seasons has never struck out. On top of all that ability as a hitter there was his MVP performance as a pitcher. His choice to take his talents to Simi Valley is a huge blow to THE TEAM.

Decent season

Lots of fun

GO THE TEAM!!!
