Game 4-Garza strikes out 12 in a complete game gem 3-1 over the Zaps.
Game 5-The Rhines smash 18 hits and score 17 runs in a getaway ass kicking of the Zaps.

Zaps 4, Killer Bees 3

DVs 4, Fungoes 3

DVs and Fungoes hooked up via netplay in 7 unremarkable, rather mundane games as none were closer than 3 runs. The Fungoes “Spay and Neuter Your Pets” campaign was put to good use as the DV big dogs- Holliday, Stanton, Kinsler and Granderson were a combined 14 for 100 with only one homer (which was wind aided). The Warpig advance scout in the press box was overheard remarking that “the DVs must think this is the first round of the playoffs. Just a matter of time before he starts regaling us with tales of past DV lore”.

Regardless, the DVs avoid a losing season (can YOU say that Pigman?) as they move to 81-43, while the Fungoes hold on to a wild card spot at 70-65.

The rather plain results –

Game 1 (first 3 at DVs): DVs ride a 3 run Blanco HR in the 7th to win 6-3

2 = David Price is awesome – and Nelson Cruz goes 4 for 5 in a 6-2 Fungoes win

3 = DVs rough up Kershaw with 5 in the third and a total of 14 hits in a 14-6 win

4 (at Fungoes WTF Cavern) = Weaver and Storen combine on a 5 hitter in a 4-1 DV win

5 = Latos, Luebke and Clippard combine on a 2 hitter in a 3-0 DV win

6 = Fungoes get pissed as Myers and Papelbon hold the DVs to 4 hits in a 6-2 win

7 = Fungoes really get pissed as they pound out 16 hits on Ogando and crush the DVs 10-1

Killer Bees 2, Sidewinders 1


3 words - Lonnie Fuckin Chisenhall! Smashes 2 Taters off the guy that ripped the heart out of Texas. BTW...remarkably, there were no pitcher errors or hit batsmen this game.

Holla

Games Remaining

There is a new link on the home page that shows how many games you have left with each team. I think it is up-to-date, but not 100% sure. It is highlighted to reflect the probability that the games are played FTF, Netplay, or CM.

Many teams are way ahead of schedule, as always. Good job there. But there are a few teams needing to get games played. Make sure they aren't waiting on instructions from you.

For games that are going to be played with CMs, those instructions should have already been sent out. If you haven't heard from the other team, give them a call or an email. Worst case, let Glenn know.

Please continue to update the Input W/L Records google doc when you play games, and then send me an email with the results so I can post them. A big thanks to all of you who are doing such great game stories of your games. Those are fun to read.

It should be an interesting post season. Hey, Fungoes, will you be hosting? Even though the Pigs won't be playing, I'm looking forward to the DV antics when he gets ousted in the first round. That never gets old.

Here's what was reported about this series...

[this space intentionally left blank]

Inmates 4, Goofs 1

Goofs 1, Inmates 4

FFTs 7, Wahoos 3


2 clutch singles in 7th inning of game 1. FFTs win, 4-3.
Recently traded to the FFTS, J-Ro homered off Rivera in Game 2. Seemed innocent enough until Quintero singled and Swisher walked. Then Dustin Pedroia hit a BP homer 1-16 and got the 16 for a walkoff 7-6 win.
Game 3 at the FFTs seemed innocent enough. FFTs jumped to a 12-5 lead. Wahoos got back in the game and had 2 men on in the 9th after J-Ro homered off RIvera (again). Pedroia popped up to end the game this time. FFTs win 12-11. FFTs win Game 6, 14-0. To show the game isn't all that realistic, Michael Young had 4 hits. Albert Pooholes managed just 1 hit in the onslaught.
Wahoos win 3 of 7 overall.

Mavs 3, Drillers 2

Mavs 3, Drillers 2

Rhinos 6, Inmates 4


Col. Rhino made the trip to the Baptist Bowl for a bizarre series (“Keep Waco Wacko”). Among the weirdness:
“Cut the throw,” uttered by the Head Inmate when confronted with a Rhino 1-19 steal attempt with a runners on first and third and a catcher with a 1-7 T-rating. Col. Rhino was just a temporal shade behind this managerial gem and rolled a 20…shitfuck.
“I guess you’ll throw,” uttered by the Head Inmate several games later when the situation was reversed and the Inmates were stealing with 1-19 odds. Not giving the Colonel an opportunity to respond, a 20 was rolled, followed immediately by “I was gonna let you have it.” Shitfuck again.
RHINOS 8 – INMATES 2 (Rhinodome): Ugly game in which the Inmates turned four double-plays, both teams made two errors (has anyone noticed the farcically good Rhino defense?), and the Inmates won 2-1. Except for the 5th inning, when the Rhinos blasted Billingsley for seven runs.
INMATES 5 – RHINOS 1 (Rhinodome): Inmates get two triples on Tr-1 chances, Chacin Ks 10, and Sabathia takes the loss.
RHINOS 8 – INMATES 7 (Rhinodome): Inmates score six in the 1st, then grease up and roll over as there was no stopping the Pointy Schnozzola Gang’s offense.
RHINOS 5 – INMATES 3 (Baptist Bowl): Inmates hit three homers and turn three double-plays and get the same number of hits as the Rhinos. And lose anyway.
RHINOS 1 – LDMF 0 (Baptist Bowl): Floyd Ks 11 and allows only three hits, but an error by Hanigan on an overthrow in the 1st allows an unearned Rhino run. Inmates get three hits in the 8th with nobody out - and don’t score. We hate this %$!^%^!@ Rhino defense. Always X-chance die roll followed by “he’s a one with an e-0” or some such tripe and then the 1-6-7-3-5-6-3 double-motherfucking-play. Or the rare play ball-bounces-out-of-his-asshole-into-the-glove-DOUBLE-PLAY! roll…
RHINOS 4 – LDMF 1 (Rhinodome): LDMF extend their inability to score streak to 16 innings as Garza and Axford keep things in check.
INMATES 7 – RHINOS 3 (15 innings)(Rhinodome): Both teams empty their benches and bullpens in this 15-inning yawner that featured a total lack of ability to hit in the clutch. Taters by Cargo and Beltre in the top of the 15th helped put everyone out of their misery.
INMATES 5 – RHINOS 4 (Baptist Bowl): It took three singles, a double, a sac bunt, and a safety squeeze to do it, but the Inmates push across two in the 8th to ice this one. Venters and Salas consider ritual disembowelment for the embarrassment.
RHINOS 5 – INMATES 2 (Baptist Bowl): In game one of a doubleheader Garza tosses a complete game victory. Three Rhino homers provide more than enough offense to best the LDMF.
INMATES 5 – RHINOS 1 (Baptist Bowl): Only two of the Baptist Bowl Choralaires stayed for this one, but they witnessed de la Rosa striking out 14 and throwing a complete game. Woohoo!
The HEAD INMATE

The Fungoes tallied 1 run in the bottom of the 6th inning. Orlando Hudson drew a walk. Hudson took his lead and swiped second. Jason Bourgeois then laid down a sacrifice bunt. Murphy came up and he delivered a one-base hit. Lance Berkman stepped into the box and drew a walk. Bobby Cassevah then threw a pitch that the catcher muffed. The Super Goofs threatened in the 9th but Papelbon was able to put down the rally and pick up the save. Stauffer was the winner allowing 1 run in 8 innings. Kyle Lohse ended up with the loss.
September 8:
The SUPER GOOFS had an easy time of it at Pac Bell Park defeating the FUNGOES by a score of 6 to 1. With the Fungoes batting and bases loaded trailing 2-1 in the 7th Eric Hosmer hit into a TRIPLE PLAY!! That pretty much says it all!!!
