Week 5 Wrap-Up
Only 2 games were played this week due to poor weather but the games that were played were thrilling none the less.
The early game featured the win less and reeling Mopar squad versus the 2-2 McGlovin team.
This game seemed to be a cruise control victory to McGlovin but the Mopar squad would not go down without a fight.
After a massive comeback it all came down to the bottom of the ninth inning. Mopar managed to tie the ball game and with 2 outs got the bases loaded. Having seen every game Mopar has played this year I was fully expecting to see the usual rally killing pop-out but Mopar didn’t get the chance. The McGlovin pitching staff fully collapsed and the usually sound Joe Choura walked in the winning run for Mopar’s first win of the season!!! Congratulations on getting in the win column guys. McGlovin shouldn’t be too hard on Joe….I think the cigar smoke got in his eyes on that last pitch.
The feature game was between the Drinkers with a Hitting Problem and Neon Magic. The drinkers put away their hitting problem and were able to battle back from down 7 in the top of the last inning to up 3 thanks in large part to Dave Garberra giving up 2 GRAND SLAMS in a single inning.
Keith Thomas finally used a bat from this century and blasted a towering shot over the left field fence to get the Drinkers back into contention. Garberra was shaken and immediately walked the bases loaded again and Big Brian James blasted the first pitch that was even close to the strike zone well out of the park. His shot was so huge that the left fielder for the Magic didn’t even bother to move to make a play on the ball.
With a 3 run lead the Drinkers took the field in the bottom of the ninth, the skies opened and maybe it was the weight of the rain on their gloves or the slippery pitching conditions but the Drinkers gave up 4 runs before even getting close to the first out of the inning.
The drinkers maybe should change their names to Drinkers with a Fielding problem for next week as the hitting has not been an issue to this point.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers were spared a beat down this week by the Silver Bullets due to the rain but I am certain a makeup game later in the season will be one for the ages.
Excellent games this week gentlemen…..HAVE A GREAT 4th!!! See you all on the 8th!

Week 4 Wrap-up
Starting this week we will begin the Hondru tracking system. Have you seen this man above?
For those of you who may not know he is Mark Hondru. He is in his 2nd year in the league he was 5 for 6 this week and is currently riding a 4 game hitting streak!!
Keep up the good work at the plate Mark...Jennie Finch has nothing on you.
The big bats were in full force this week as we doubled the home run count to 4 total!! Congrats to Keith "The Whammer" Belden and Eric Diehl! For the complete list click on the Home Run link in the upper right hand corner of the welcome page.
Not to beat a dead horse but another big lead was blown this week. McGLOVin came roaring back from a 17 run deficit to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat!
The Chili Peppers are currently on the snide, completely encompassed by their 2 game losing streak! After their strong start it may take a Lombardi like coaching effort to get them back on track.
The Silver Bullets....well they just keep chugging along slapping the helpless Drinkers with a hitting problem squad into submission.
I have very little to mention about Neon Magic as I can't watch them play due to the blinding hue of their jerseys. I am sure they had Garberra on the mound again this week but it is hard to tell.....there is just too much Neon material in the infield to see where one player ends and the next begins!
See you all on Friday!!

Week 3 Wrap-up
Week 3 had a few interesting match-ups on the schedule.
Two 0-2 teams collided for crawling out of the basement rights....someone has to win right?? Drinkers with a Hitting Problem were able to improve their record to 1-2 with a hard fought victory in the 6:30 slot. While the Mopar team dropped to 0-3.
Neon Magic won a ho-hum game against McGlovin proving that having the largest in-field in recorded softball history may be a good strategy after all.
The twilight game featured the two powerhouse teams in the league, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Silver Bullets. This game had it all...solid pitching, sound fielding, fundamentally solid play.....then the Chili Peppers took the field.
This game seemed destined from the beginning to go the Sliver Bullets way and some questions were raised about a payoff to the umpires due to a questionable call that may have sealed the game for the Bullets. But the REAL DAGGER came off the bat of Matt Micholas on a 3-1 pitch from Johnny "keep'em flat" Kosko. As the pitch sailed into the night sky it was easy to see who the favorites to win it all this year is.
See you all on Friday!!

Week 2 Wrap-up
After getting a late start on the evenings festivities due to a scheduling mishap, all 3 games went off without a hitch and were very competitive contests.
The game of the night has to go to the 9:30 game (actually started after 10pm)...after falling behind by 17 runs the Drinker with a Hitting problem squad was able to make it close and only lose by 2 runs. 27-25
