Tonights Recap....

We won all 3 games like we needed to tonight.  We scored lots of runs like we needed to.  We basically did everything we needed to do....except get some help.  We needed the Amish Donkey Mob to knock off JJ's Orange....they didn't, losing by 1 run 8-9.  Then we needed Doublewide to not score a lot of runs.... they did.  Then, as we sat on the picnic table watching the PT / Doublewide game we needed Doublewide to hold onto thier 16-10 lead in the 4th.  This would have put us and PT in a tie and brought the total runs scored  tie-breaker into effect... (which we were comfortably ahead of them at that point).   Unfortunatly, Doublewide fell apart down the stretch, giving up countless hits and making multiple defensive blunders.... including but not limited to launching a ball into the trees from 3B to allow runs in.   It was tough to watch....and to cap it off, with the winning run at the plate in the bottom of the 7th, the Doublewide guy watches his last strike cross the plate and gets called out looking to end the game....  Season Dead.

We played 3 awesome games in a row tonight...and really 5 great games down the stretch with the pressure on us as all were must wins.... but at this point it looks like the BCS is going to keep us out of any meaningful bowl games.  Now we know what Boise State feels like.  There is still hope, my math could be wrong or I could have misinterpreted how the rec deptartment will breakdown the games so there is a chance we still get in.... but no matter what we did all we could do.

I will post something as soon as I hear it from the Rec Dept.  Who knows....maybe they will do a play-in game....  If not...it was a good season guys.  Thanks for playing.

Fall Season Recap

Well, the fall season has all but come to a close.  All that remains is our October 5th playoff.  Early forcasts for Tuesday suggest sunny skies with highs around 70 degrees.  Sounds pretty nice.  Lets all just remember this time that it is no longer summer and it actually gets fairly cold when the sun goes down...so dress accordingly. 

Judgement Day

As if this game hasn't been over-hyped enough, I thought that I would publish a post and do a little prognostication.   Dead Money is more than likely taking batting practice and infield drills as we speak.  If I were a betting man, I would say they have re-assembled their "Dream Team" for tonights much anticipated matchup.  I guess the prospects and their minor league team will have to take the week off. 

Anyway, tonight should be a great matchup...one for the Minnetonka Men's Class D Recreation Sofball USSSA Tuesday Nights - Big Willow Park Fall League.  That leage name sounds damn official....thats right.  Tonight, the following team of accountants, engineers, airport food vendor managers, and environmental specialists will take the field against the mighty Dead Money squad:

Cuff - aka "Case Szar"
Tim - aka "Drunk Guy"
Barry - aka "Engaged Guy that now hits out of his ass"
Scotty - aka "Big Scotty"
Roger - aka "Lil' Rawj"
Luke - aka "Fat ass"
Steve - aka "Hoover (at taking ground balls)"
Ryan - aka "The Howitzer"
Beeher - aka "Team Ditka"
Joe - aka "Baby Daddy"

Did I mention I suck at nicknames.

With that said.  We'll see you all tonight

8:10 - Doublewide (Away) vs. Dead Money (Home)
9:10 - Lone Spur Bar and Grill

Players of the Week (Last Week - August 31st)

What a game!  4 innings of crapping on a church team.  I guess they are the good church team.  Hmmmm?  This weeks (last weeks) players of the week are the Ronglien Brothers.  Can't even remember...a couple of bombs.  8 or 9 RBIs.  Nice work.
