Games

DVs 3, Sidewinders 2

From the DVs...

The DVs faced a vaunted Sidewinder squad loaded with playoff cards (Joe Dillon, Jorge Velandia, and ample doses of Delwyn Young) and two Jake Peavy starts, yet prevailed by winning 3 of 5 at the DV bandbox. The playoff atmosphere quickly took hold as the wily Snake skipper called on the pen in the second inning of the first game, calling on K-Rod to quell a 6 run outburst by the energized DV side. The DiamondVision continued to roll to a 13-4 win, setting the tone in the bunting decorated stadium. Peavy righted the SSW ship in game 2, leading the Sidewinders to an 8-4 win after an Omar Vizquel 2 base error opened the doors to a 4 run inning. The DVs took game 3 by a 4-2 count, with Bobby Jenks earning a 6 out save. Game 4 saw Peavy on the bump again, but this time Griffey and Holliday ousted him with 3 run homers, leading to a 7-2 DV win. The finale saw the Snakes rebound behind Ted Lilly with a relatively easy 8-1 win. Overall DVs hit 12 home runs to the Sidewinders 5, but the Snakes swiped 9 bases to take advantage of better team speed. Ordonez and Holliday both hit .412, while Renteria led the Snakes with a .385 average for the series.

DVs stand at 61-42 as they ready themselves for the Dallas onslaught this Saturday.

Which of you dumb-asses is trying to impress us with your high-falutin' descriptive reporting style? Sounds like you just read a 1940s-style Raymond Chandler novel.

Report to us after you've read a couple chapters of "The Pearl..."

That better? If not, drink two beers and call me in the morning.

The Zapper/Wahoos photo/caption was the funniest damn thing I'd seen in a while. My own photo merely raised a belly laugh. If four fingers means "put him on", that gesture just means "pitch, bitch".
