Mavs 3, DVs 2

From the MavMan...
Mavs took 3 of 5 at home against the DV's.

Rhinos 3, Inmates 2

From The HEAD INMATE...
Rhinos and Inmates played 3 blow-outs and 2 close games.
Inmates now 20-30 to escape Demerit Man.

Games

Nads 3, Rhinos 2

From the Nadman...
Rhinos go 2-3 at Nads – neither team is very strong – close games – one went 13 innings

Nads 4, SuperGoofs 1

From the Nadman...
Super Goofs run into the suddenly hot NADS – go 1-4

SuperGoofs 3, Killer Bees 2

Nads 4, Buckeyes 3

From the Nadman...
NADS win a home series against the Buckeyes for the first time in memory. Buckeyes go 3-4 at NADS . NADS are .500 after 64 games – WTF is up with that ??????? NADS are supposed to play .300 or at best .400 baseball. Beware NASOMA!!

Rhinos 3, Drillers 2

Games

The Tweeners took a series from the Mavs, 3 games to 2.

From the MavMan...
The Tweeners took 3 out of 5 from the Mavs at the Rastadome. It's an inverse Tweener split. Nick Swisher killed us. You may not hear that sentence a lot this year.


Buckeyes 5, Tweeners 0

From the Tweeners...
Tweeners continue to discover new recipes for defeat. 3 of these 5 losses were in extra innings. In the other 2 games Aaron Harang turned in quality starts but we failed to score for him in either game. Game 2 was particularly hard to swallow. The Buckeyes scored a run in the first inning without benefit of a hit; their only hit later in the game was on a 1 to 7 split chance; Tweeners lose the one-hitter as Randy Johnson thows his own 2-hit shutout. Tweeners mathematically eliminated before Memorial Day.

Games

The DVs won 11 of 14 games vs the FFTs.

From the DVDickless...

Striving as best they can to be hapfull (is that the opposite of hapless(?) we need the Mavs or Inmates to contribute here), DVs go 11-3 vs. the FFTs, Super HAL managed the heck out of the FFT side, their bullpen had 39 innings and only surrendered 6 earned runs, and 11 of the games were decided by 1 or 2 runs. Now full of hap, the DVs comment: “Pigs still suck”

Games

At Driller Park, the Drillers evened up the series against the Sidewinders by taking 4 out of 5.

Games

Sidewinders took 4 out of 5 against the Drillers.

From the Snakeman...
Snakes stay hot against the NERRD winning 4 of 5 vs Drillers tonight.Lincecum and Nathan shut the snakes down in game 5 to stave off the sweep. Heroes for the snakes included David Ortiz who for 5 games turned from Big Pop-up to Big Papi again(.429 BA 3HR) and the snakepen (9.1 IP, 1 H, 2 BB,10K and no runs)

The Snakes move to within a half game of the Pastas in the AWD, and actually have a better winning percentage. The Drillers still have a comfortable lead over the hapless DVs in the NERDD.

Games

The Drillers went 3-2 vs the Buckeyes and 2-3 vs the SuperGoofs.

The Sidewinders swept 6 games vs the DiamondVision.

DVs comment: “Warpigs suck”

Games

The SuperGoofs took 2 out of 3 vs the Mavs.

From the MavMan...

Goofs took two out of three. Nothing dramatic or exciting happened. We just go whipped. That will happen with this team.

The Inmates took 2 out of 3 vs the Tweeners.

From The HEAD INMATE...
Inmates took two of three at the Baptist Bowl via HAL games. All three were good tight contests. Inmates now 18-27.

Games

Pastas 4, Inmates 1

From the HEAD INMATE...

Inmates were crushed at the Baptist Bowl in HAL games Sunday. We were out-scored 41-24, out-homered 10-5, and out-pitched. Inmates are now 16-26.

Shitfuck.

Games

In CM games played at the Bee Hive, the Killer Bees went 3-2 against the Mavs and 2-3 against the SuperGoofs. With these games, the Bees and Goofs both reached the 50-games played mark.

Ahead of Schedule

We're halfway thru May, and most of the teams have already reached the minimum number of games (50) for the end of the month. The ones under 50 are not too far off.

These teams have a few to get played in the next two weeks:
SuperGoofs (3)
Rhinos (13)
Nads (3)
Inmates (13)
Killer Bees (8)
DiamondVision (8)

Games

The DVs and Sidewinders went 2-2.

From the DV...
A couple of splits at each park – Halladay picked up the both the wins to move to 11-0. Snakes have 5 run innings late in both games to destroy the DV bullpen. Series will continue next week.

Games and a Trade

The Wahoos swept 3 games against the Sidewinders.

The FFTs went 3-7 vs the SuperGoofs and 4-6 vs the Buckeyes. The FFTs only won 4 games against the Buckeyes, but all 4 wins were shutouts, including the last 3 games of the series.

If the playoffs were held today, the SuperGoofs would be in them.

Also, the FFTs traded Lyle Overbay to the Buckeyes for Augie Ojeda.

Games

The Warpigs took two of three dice games against the Fungoes.

Game 1 - Fungoes 3, Warpigs 2 - Scott Olsen and three relievers shut down the Pigs on 6 hits. John Lackey threw a complete game, but allowed homers to Grady Sizemore and Joe Mather in the loss.

Game 2 - Warpigs 11, Fungoes 7 in 10 innings - The score was 7-7 after 3 innings, but the bullpens calmed those bats. The Fungoes had three 2-out walks in the 9th, but couldn't score. The Pigs scored 4 off of Jonathan Papelbon with 2 outs in the 10th. Brian Giles singled in a run. Another scored on a passed ball. Then pinch hitter Rafael Furcal singled in 2 more. Joakim Soria got the win. Manny Ramirez had 3 hits and 3 RBI. For the second game in a row, the Fungoes led off the game with a home run. It was Sizemore in the first game - Denard Span in this one.

Game 3 - Warpigs 7, Fungoes 2 - The Pigs scored early again with six runs off of Clayton Kershaw in the first two innings. Jesse Litsch went 6 innings for the win. The Pigs did not hit a home run in the series.

Games

Wahoos 2, Sidewinders 1

From the Chief...

Wahoos win the first 2 of the netplay series 4-2 and 8-7 (an Aramis Ramirez homer off Rafael Perez in extra innings completes the comeback in this win). Sidewinders win game 3, 7-4. It was 2-1 Wahoos until the SSWs exploded for 6 on the back of a couple homers, the big one a 3-run shot from John Baker.

Wahoos scored a couple in the 8th and had a man on in the ninth but couldn't get it done.

Trade

The Drillers traded Mike Jacobs to the SuperGoofs for Trevor Hoffman.

Games

Warpigs 2, Tweeners 1

From the Tweener...

Pigs strut into Logan County for our final 3 game series, having already taken 7 straight from the lowly Tweeners. They proceed to stomp us 11-1 and 7-0, and the games were not as close as the scores might suggest. With Aaron Harang scheduled to start game 10, only a fool would have bet on the Tweeners. But Harang pitches his heart out, and the Tweeners take the 10th game 3-1, defying Mine That Bird-like odds. Rogue Pigs fans can stick those brooms up their ass, and their womenfolk can fly home on theirs. By taking 1 of 3 in the set, we raise our season winning percentage. All is well.

Games

Inmates 2, Wahoos 0

From the HEAD INMATE...
Inmates roto-rooted the Wahoos at the Baptist Bowl today, winning game one in the 15^th on a pinch double by Lind, and then pulling game two out in the bottom of the 9^th on back-to-back doubles by Martinez and David Murphy and a game winning single by Howard, all off of Cole Hamels.

Inmates now 15-22 and making a big move toward the division lead.

The Wahoos have now lost 7 in a row and have dropped to 4th in the BUD. The Inmates move up to a tie for 3rd with the Mavs in the MFD.

Games

The Drillers and Wahoos faced off tonight with 10 dice games. The Drillers went 7-3 to increase their lead in the NERDD to 3 1/2 games over the DVs. The stumbling Wahoos dropped to a tie for the BUD cellar.
