The Rhinos, trying to atone for an 0-14 vs the Pigs in 2009, came up short thru the first 7 games.
Warpigs 4, Rhinos 3
Game 1 - Warpigs 8, Rhinos 3: Albert Pujols, Cody Ross, and Delmon Young all homered at the BallPork as Josh Beckett bested C.C. Sabathia. Before the game, the Rhino bullpen received their World Series rings for 2009.
Game 2 - Rhinos 4, Warpigs 3: Hanley Ramirez went 3-4 with 2 homers and 3 RBI for the Rhinos. A missed BP HR (1-17) in the 9th inning had the home fans crying.
Game 3 - Rhinos 9, Warpigs 3: As if starting Brian Matusz wasn't enough, the Pigs also made 3 errors. Zach Duke got the win for the Rhinos.
Game 4 - Warpigs 7, Rhinos 5: In the first of 4 games at the Rhino Preserve, Matt Kemp went 3-3 with 2 bombs for the home team, but a 3-run homer by Delmon Young in the 7th inning was the difference.
Game 5 - Warpigs 6, Rhinos 3: Albert Pujols had 4 hits in the victory. Geovanny Soto pinch hit a 2-run homer in the 8th to expand a 1-run lead.
Game 6 - Rhinos 4, Warpigs 2: A 4-run 3rd inning, capped off by a 3-run homer by ARod was all the Rhinos needed to hand Cliff Lee (10-2) only his 2nd loss of the year. Sabathia went 8 innings for the win.
Game 7 - Warpigs 2, Rhinos 1: Gordon Beckham and Delmon Young hit solo homers to back the pitching of Josh Beckett.
Pujols went 14-26 in the series with 3 homers. Delmon Young also hit 3 home runs and suffered through constant name calling by the opposing manager. And while better fielders on both teams continued to allow hits and make errors, Alberto Callaspo, a 4e31 at shortstop, was apparently making a bid for the Gold Glove.
And then there was this dialogue...
(with the Rangers/Pirates on the TV quietly in the background)
Rhino: You drafted this Ohlendorf guy, didn't you?
Pigman: Yeah, why?
Rhino: He's pitching against the Rangers tonight.
Pigman: Oh man, I wish you hadn't told me that.
Rhino: Why?
Pigman: When I am aware my guys are facing the Rangers, they always get their butt kicked.
Rhino: No, he's up 2-1 in the 5th
TV announcer, right on cue: Julio Borbon with a 3-run homer!!!
Rhino: Oh wow. You were right.

the DEREK FUNGOES by the slimmest of margins, 8 to 7.
the DEREK FUNGOES by the slimmest of margins, 8 to 7.
The score was knotted at 6 after nine innings. RICK won it in the 12th
inning. After an out was recorded, Miguel Olivo began the RICK spurt when he
drew a walk. Gordon Beckham came next and he doubled. Akinori Iwamura then
stroked a base-hit making RICK the winners and sending the 237 fans home
happy. A wild affair, this game saw the lead change 5 times.

FFTs at Tweeners
Tweeners 4, FFTs 1
From Al...
Tweeners drop the opener, then take 4 straight from the FFTs at the Hooverdome. Old friend Aaron Harang gets speedy Rajai Davis to ground into 3 DPs and beats Wainwright 5-3. In game 2, Jason Bay's 1st inning homer off Dallas Braden gives old friend Roy Oswalt a 3 run lead, but Mark Reynolds homers twice and we fight back to win 5-4. Game 3, Harang is good again, but Wainwright goes the distance allowing only 3 hits and Reynolds homers again as we win 3-1. Felix Hernandez picks up his 10th win in game 4, 2 more homers and 5 RBIs for Reynolds, final 12-8. Oswalt pitches well in game 5, but Happ, K-Rod, and Gregerson combine for a 1-0 shutout; Reynolds drives in the game's only run with a sac fly. For the 5 games Reynolds hit .500 with 6 homers and 12 RBIs and an OPS of 2.800 (and stole a base). He won't get another hit for a month.

Mavs at Tweeners
Tweeners 3, Mavs 2
From Al...
Tweeners somehow manage to win 3 of 5 at home vs. Mavs. We could have easily lost all 5 games. We fall behind 7-2 in game 1, but fight back to tie it, and win 8-7 in 12 innings. Buchholz beats Happ 6-4 in game 2. Game 3 Mavs score 7 in the 4th and hang on for a 9-7 win. Expanded rosters for the final games; Hochevar matches Happ pitch for pitch in game 4, each allow 1 run in 6 innings, but 3 scoreless innings from D.J. Carrasco is much better than the efforts of 5 Mavs relievers as we win 6-1. The finale was a see-saw affair, Tweeners win 7-6 in walk-off fashion. We reach the halfway point of the season, busting our ass to get a game over .500, praying for a second half run.

Inmates vs FFTs
Inmates 6, FFTs 4
From The HEAD INMATE...
From The HEAD INMATE...
Inmates take 6 of 10 from FFTs in NASOMA’s annual Mediocrity Bowl:
INMATES 4 – FFTs 1: Chipper Jones hits a 3-run tater for Inmates, Furcal gets 2 of 3 FFT hits. Wolf gets the win.
FFTs 10 – INMATES 0: Floyd gives up 5 unearned runs. Nothing goes well for the Beakless Chicken Gang, while Harang throws 6-hit shutout and Bay taters twice for FFTs.
INMATES 4 – FFTs 1: Furcal breaks up shutout in 9th, otherwise it’s all Inmates in an almost carbon copy of game 1.
INMATES 5 – FFTs 2: Once again FFTs break up shutout in the 9th with a Cabrera 2-run shot, but Wolf Ks 11 in 8 2/3 for the Inmate win.
INMATES 11 – FFTs 2: Vazquez strikes out 11, Chamberlain gets shelled, and the Inmates find their bats for the first time in a month.
FFTs 5 – INMATES 4: Rivera is the door-slammer, striking out 2 in the 9th for the save.
INMATES 1 – FFTs 0: Floyd makes up for earlier loss, Adam Dunn drives in the game’s only run in the 1st.
FFTs 2 – INMATES 1: Washburn and Anderson lock up in great duel, but Rivera Ks the side in the 9th to seal the win.
INMATES 4 – FFTs 3 (10): Rivera loses his touch in the 10th, allowing a sacfly by Beltre for the Inmate win.
FFTs 3 – INMATES 2: FFTs score all their runs in the 7th, while the Inmates waste 11 hits
Inmates are now 29-33.
Drillers at Tweeners
Tweeners 2, Drillers 1
From Al...
Tweeners take a 9-2 lead, then watch nervously as Drillers score 5 in the 8th, but hold on for a 9-7 win. In game 2, David Murphy hits a 4th inning grand slam off Felix and we can never catch up; Drillers win 7-3. In the rubber match, Happ (8 IP) and Gregerson combine for the shutout. Zobrist's 1st inning RBI double would have been enough; but for good measure in the 8th inning, after Hal elected to intentionally walk Rajai Davis, Ben made them pay by getting the roll for a 3-run homer (HR 1-4/fly).

From The HEAD INMATE...
From The HEAD INMATE...
Inmates take 5 of 7 from Buckeyes in games played at WTF Park at Fungoe Estates on Wednesday night.
INMATES 1 – BUCKEYES 0: Wolf and two Inmate relievers handcuff the Shriveled Testicle Gang on two hits. Molina drives in the winning run with a single in the 1st.
INMATES 4 – BUCKEYES 2: All the runs score on homers; the Buckeyes hit two solo shots off of Vazquez, while the Inmates hit two two-run shots off of Jackson.
INMATES 3 – BUCKEYES 2 (22 innings): That’s right, 22 innings of no offense. Inmates tied the game at 2-all in the 6th on a Chipper Jones sac fly, then waited until two outs in the bottom of the 22nd before Howard hit crawl-off tater. Guzman pitched 10 (!!!) innings of scoreless relief for the win.
BUCKEYES 4 – INMATES 1: Buckeyes finally get in the win column behind Carpenter’s 6-hitter (all singles).
INMATES 5 – BUCKEYES 1: Buckeyes get only 4 hits, while Inmates don’t show much offense either with three runs coming in the 8th on an Adam Dunn homer.
BUCKEYES 4 – INMATES 3: Another close game with Carpenter out-dueling Vazquez. Inmates left tying run on 3rd in the ninth.
INMATES 5 – BUCKEYES 4: The closest thing to an offensive show had the Buckeyes battling back from a 5-1 deficit, but leaving the tying run on base in the 9th.
Inmates are now 23-29.

Wahoos at Tweeners
Tweeners 5, Wahoos 0
From Al...
Tweeners were due, and Wahoos happened to be in the way. Game 1 Reynolds homers twice, de la Rosa fans 10 in 5 2/3, Tweeners win 5-3. Game 2 Felix gives up 9 hits and 5 walks in 6 2/3, but we win 2-1. Game 3 Joe Blanton takes a shutout into the 8th inning, K-Rod saves the 3-1 win. Still not sure how we won game 4. After falling behind 6-2 we score 2 in the 8th and 2 in the 9th to tie it (Reynolds found a 2-out, 2-run triple on Hawksworth's card in the 9th). 'Hoos score in the 11th, but we tie it on another 2-out triple (on Shane's card), then Zobrist drives him in for the game winner. The momentum carried into game 5 when we scored 4 in the first, and the Wahoos, a/k/a Carlin's cat, could hardly wait to catch their flight. Take that, Corey Koskie.

Zaps at Tweeners
Zaps 3, Tweeners 1
From Al...
Tweeners continue to look for some breaks - and a winning streak. Someone should have told me I needed to pitch around Andrew F. McCutchen; for the series he hit .471, scored 5, drove in 5, stole 2 bases, doubled, tripled, homered - who knew. The only game we won was against Greinke. I think I'll play the Wahoos and see if things improve.
