MIKE DACENKO.... FIRST ONE TO WIN 10 GAMES?
July 10, 2007 --
HARD TO BELEIVE THAT ONLY A MONTH AGO MIKE DACENKO WON THE POLL FOR "FIRST VETERAN MOST LIKEY TO REACH 10 WINS", CONSIDERING HE HAS BEEN OUT SCORED IN 5 GAMES 47 TO 4. BUT HEY, THE RIGHT AMOUND OF MONEY AND I GUESS PEOPLE WILL VOTE FOR ANYONE, OR AT LEASE SOME OVERATED BUM. HE TOOK THE JUNE POLL WITH 40% OF THE VOTES, BEATING OUT PETE SR., FISHETTI, PETE JR., AND FRANK DEHART! SO WHAT DO THE FANS SEE IN THE 7 YEAR PRO, WELL HE'S A FAN FAVORITE, NOT ONLY FOR HIS WILD PITCHING BUT HIS RELENTLESS TRASH TALK. EVEN WITH THE FANS SUPPORT 10 GAMES LOOKS OUT OF THE QUESTION, BUT HE MAY BE ABLE TO SNEAK INTO THE PLAYOFF COME AUGUST.

COSTANZA THROWS IN THE TOWEL AFTER TAKING 6 GAME BEATING!!!!
August 19, 2007 --
0-6, 0 HOMERS, AND A "FASTBALL" THAT MAY GET UP TO 45 MPH, COULD BE THE REASON FOR MIKE COSTANZA CALLING IT QUITS LATE LAST WEEK. ON FRIDAY COSTANZA OFFICIALLY RETIRED FROM PIGEON PARK AND WHO COULD BLAME HIM, IN JUST OVER A SEASON AND A HALF COSTANZA FINISHED WITH A .023 AVG, 1 HOMER, AND A 2-19 RECORD, NOT TO MENTION THE BEATING FROM THE HOMETOWN FANS. MORE ASTONISHING WAS THE FACT THAT IN THE 19 LOSSES COSTANZA WAS TEN RUN RULED 11 TIMES! IN AN INTERVIEW ON SUNDAY COSTANZA SAID HE WANTED TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH THE FAMILY AND THAT WAS ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS BEHIND PACKING IT IN EARLY. IN FACT, SOME EVEN SPECULATED THAT HIS FAMILY FORCED HIM TO RETIRE TO SPARE THEM THE SHAME OF HAVING HIS NAME TARNISHED WITH A 0-13 RECORD. EITHER WAY, PIGEON PARK AND IT'S FANS WOULD LIKE TO WISH COSTANZA BEST OF LUCK IN WHATEVER HE DECIDES TO DO IN THE FUTURE.
