Playoff Schedule

Big win leads to 2nd seed in playoffs

Doublewide held on for a huge 11-10 victory last night over Ballz Deep, which catapulted Doublewide from 5th in the standings all the way up to 2nd - leading into next week's playoffs.

Doublewide led 9-2 going into the bottom of the 6th inning, but Ballz Deep's sticks got hot as they scored 5 to cut the lead to 9-7. Doublewide got 2 big runs in the top of the 7th (with 2 outs), which ended up being the difference since Ballz Deep scored twice in the bottom of the inning. The final out came on a 2-run homer by Ballz Deep, which was an out because it was their 4th homerun of the game.

As the 2nd seed in the league playoffs, Doublewide (9-6-1) will host the #7 seed Team Streicher's (5-11) at 8 p.m. The teams split their two games during the regular season. A second game against either #3 PT Mortgage or #6 BMW will follow at 9:15.

Congratulations to Dirty Grizzlies for winning the regular season championship!

The final regular season standings are:

1. Dirty Grizzlies (11-5-1)
2. Doublewide (9-6-1)
3. PT Mortgage (9-6-1)
4. Wild Turkeys (9-7)
5. Ballz Deep (9-7)
6. BMW (5-9-2)
7. Team Streicher's (5-11)
8. Amish Donkey Mob (5-11)

Winning!

The story of the year continues. We struggle to find 10 guys that are able to show up. However, even though short handed and missing three of our key players we pounded Wild Turkeys 14-0 in a game that only took 35 minutes to play. Cuff lowered his team leading ERA to 11.48 (FYI...I have no f'ing idea) on the season behind a complete game shut out that included one strikeout. Primus finally learned how to field a ground ball and played superb D at 2nd base. One last tune up next week against Ballz Deep before playoffs start. Currently we are in 5th place in the standings so we get to play the spoiler in the playoffs. That is if we all show up! ;)

Bloodbath

After possibly the worse showing in Doublewide's illustrious history last week, dropping two games to bottom of the barrel squads, we showed up last night with a rag-tag mixture of scrubs and subs.  We then proceeded to beat the shit out of poor old BMW.  After a close first inning, we went on to score a combined 22 runs in two innings on our way to a route of the scrappy (and sometimes crabby) BMW team.  As an added bonus, we got to see their usually hot-headed pitcher completely fall apart and take himself out of the game.  I am not really sure who played the best.  It was pretty much a team effort.  Watching people scared shitless from the surprise fireworks show following the game was pretty fun too.

Bottom line, whatever we did last night, keep doing it....

Games at 7 and 9 next week with a break in the middle - better bring some beers and bug-spray.
