FFTs at DVs

DVs 4, FFTs 3

DVs eke out a 4-3 record at home vs the FFTs to avoid the dreaded March demerit.

6/18 – FFTs 10 DVs 4 (Latos still hungover from his no hitter)

6/19 – DVs 8 FFTs 2

6/20 – DVs 6 FFTs 2

9/13 – FFTs 3 DVs 1

9/14 – DVs 6 FFTs 4

9/15 – FFTs 3 DVs 2

9/16 – DVs 6 FFTs 2

Warpigs at Mavs

Warpigs 5, Mavs 0

Gm1 - Cliff Lee throws a shutout. Pigs win 6-0

Gm2 - Ross Ohlendorf and some relievers have a shutout in the 9th when Chase Headley hits a game-tying solo shot. Stephen Drew then hits a homer in the top of the 10th for the 2-1 win.

Gm3 - Trevor Cahill outduels Clay Buchholtz for a 5-2 Pig win.

Gm4 - The Warpigs scored at will, especially after Matt Cain was pulled in the 2nd inning. Pigs win 16-1.

Gm5 - Omar Infante and Adam Lind hit 2-run homers in the first inning, but the bullpen had to hang on for the 7-5 win.

Inmates at Zaps

Zaps 3, Inmates 2

Zaps take three of five from the Beakless Chicken Gang at the Zap Zone. All were close games.

Game 1: Zaps 4 – Inmates 3

Ridiculously good Pasta Pen almost blows game in 9^th, but pinch-runner Billingsley is thrown out at plate to save game.

Game 2: Inmates 6 – Zaps 5

Inept Inmate defense almost gives game away, but 2-run pinch tater by Fuck-you-dome in the 6^th is enough for the Inmates.

Game 3: Zaps 4 – Inmates 3

Colvin’s error allows two Zap runs. Westbrook retires the last eleven in a row for CG win.

Game 4: Zaps 4 – Inmates 3

Inmates outhit the Zaps, but not when it counted. Fuck-you-dome homers again; Johnson gets CG victory.

Game 5: Inmates 5 – Zaps 3

Inmates salvage the “Tweener split” by scoring 5 runs early and hanging on.

Inmates now 12-18.

Zaps at Inmates

Zaps 4, Inmates 1

Zaps take four of five on the road against the Inmates.

Game 1- Inmates 3 Zaps 2 Beltre smacks a game winning tater in the bottom of the 9^th.

Game 2- Zaps 4 Inmates 2 Bautista’s 3-run shot backs up Greinke’s strong start.

Game 3- Zaps 7 Inmates 4 Zaps score all their winning runs in a 7-run 4^th inning to fend off Kelly Johnson’s two taters.

Game 4- Zaps 6 Inmates 0 Four pitchers combine to shutout the Inmates.

Game 5- Zaps 9 Inmates 5 Cabrera and Hall get four hits each to power the Zap offense.

Zaps at Mavs

Zaps 3, Mavs 2

Zaps lose the first two and win the last three in an exciting series with the Mavs.

Game 1-Mavs 7 Zaps 1 Cain throws a dominating complete game as Mav bats assault Johnson.

Game 2 Mav 3 Zaps 1 Buchholz dominates for 8 2/3 before the Mavs manager yanks him to prevent a complete game that might adversely affect next year’s looming arbitration hearing.

Game 3-Zaps 8 Mavs 2 Rodriguez finally solves Mavs bats and Zaps offense heats up.

Game 4- Zaps 4 Mavs 2 The Zap bullpen stymies Mav comeback after Johnson goes a strong 6 2/3.

Game 5- Zaps 6 Mavs 5 McCutchen hits a go ahead 2-run shot in the top of the 9^th in rubber game series clincher.

New Rule for 2011

The only new rule passed for 2011 has to do with how you send out your CM and how you play those games. For this season, send a CM based on your HOME games. When you play mail games, you will play your ROAD games.

This rule was proposed as a "Let's try it for this year and see how we like it" rule, so I assume we'll have to vote again next year to keep it as a semi-permanent rule.

The pros... it makes creating a CM easier, since you only have to make one for ONE park. Also, you get to see other parks in the games you play.

The cons... We are on the verge of seeing some of the greatest W/L ROAD records in the history of the league. LOL

Tweeners vs FFTs

FFTs 4, Tweeners 1 at FFT Park
FFTs 3, Tweeners 2 at Tweener Field

Tweeners go 2-3 at home, FFT's go 4-1 at home. We won a couple of extra-inning games, including one vs. Mariano, and Dan Hudson won his first start of the season. But the story was Roy F. Oswalt, who sent his former team a message by winning all 4 of his starts, including 2 shutouts, and we were outscored by a total of 28 to 4 in those 4 games. We get it, Roy, and we're even now, OK? Jeez.

Zaps at DVs

Zaps 4, DVs 1

Latos fired a no-hitter, but then Zap bats reeled off four wins on the road at the DV’s.

Game 1-DV’s 1 Zaps 0 Latos fires a no-hitter when he pitches out of turn on short rest not because the Zaps can’t read an email rotation but because Roy Halladay walked into a bathroom after the Drillers used it and was delirious for two days.

Game 2- Zaps 8 DV’s 2 Greinke fires a four-hitter and Zap bats come back to life.

Game 3-Zaps 8 DV’s 3 Bautista and Fielder hit two-homers each to back Wandy’s solid start.

Game 4-Zaps 9 DV’s 7 Russell Martin hits a two-run homer in the top of the 12^th for the win.

Game 5-Zaps 3 DV’s 1 Wandy outduels Latos for the win.

Killer Bees vs FFTs

Bees 3, FFTs 2 at FFT Park
FFTs 3, Bees 2 at The Hive

Bees go 3-2 on the road and 2-3 at home to finish the split with the FFTs. The final game of the series, which was played at the Hive, was decided by a Josh Hamilton bomb in the 16th inning off Billy Wagner. The FFts took the game 5-4, despite managing only 6 hits through 16 innings. The Bees had 4 runs on 14 hits.

DVs at FFTs

FFTs 4, DVs 3

5/7 FFTs 6-2

5/8 FFTs 5-3

5/9 DVs 4-0

5/10 FFTs 6-3

7/30 FFTs 4-1

8/1 DVs 6-3

8/2 DVs 3-1 in 11 innings

DVs were lucky to win 3 – the first two wins were both Halladay starts , and the last game we rolled a + gb with the infield in during the 11^th.

DVs at Mavs

DVs 3, Mavs 2

Game 1 – DVs win 6-1 behind a Latos 4 hitter

Game 2 – Mavs 5-4 as Butler’s 2 run HR is the game winner

Game 3 – Mavs win 5-2 as they score all 5 in the 8^th and Cain throws a 5 hitter. Halladay slumps to 0-2 on the season

Game 4 – DVs outlast Mavs with 7-5 win in 11 innings (just what my beleaguered bullpen needs)

Game 5 – DVs outlast Mavs 6-5 in 13 innings (REALLY just what my beleaguered bullpen needs). HAL would not pull Gallardo- I kept unchecking and checking the box that indicated he was in charge. He actually put in a pinch runner late, but wouldn’t go to the pen. HAL sucks.

Mavs at Warpigs

Pigs 3, Mavs 2

Gm 1 - Pigs 3, Mavs 2

Gm 2 - Mavs 6, Pigs 2

Gm 3 - Mavs 6, Pigs 5

Gm 4 - Pigs 7, Mavs 6

Gm 5 - Pigs 6, Mavs 3 - Pujols went 3/4 with a homer and drove in 4.

Zaps at Warpigs

Zaps 5, Pigs 0

Zaps sweep Pigs on the road.

April 10-Zaps 10 Pigs 2
Bautista's grand slam powers Zap onslaught.
Apr 11-Zaps 2 Pigs 1
Back-to-back 8th inning taters by Raburn and Jones sink the Pigs.
July 3-Zaps 5 Pigs 0
Westbrook dominates Pig bats
July 4-Zaps 6 Pigs 4
Utley's fireworks backs up Johnson's solid start
July 5-Zaps 4 Pigs 2

Zaps outscore Pigs 27-9

Rhino Games

Inmates 3, Rhinos 2
Buckeyes 5, Rhinos 5

Rhinos 2-3 vs Inmates

4/22 - Inmates 5 – Rhinos 3 (Baptist Bowl) - Inmates explode for 5 runs off the in the bottom of the 8th to take the lead for good, ruining a 10 k performance for CC.

4/23 - Inmates 5 – Rhinos 4 (Baptist Bowl) - Rhinos explode for 4 runs in the 1st inning and then go cold as the Inmates chip away and eventually take the lead for the win with a 2 run homer in the bottom of the eigth.

4/24 - Inmates 10 – Rhinos 7 (Baptist Bowl) - Rhinos offense explodes again for 6 in the second only to watch the Inmates explode for 6 runs of their own in the bottom of the 5th. The Inmates take the lead for good on a Tulo error in the bottom of the 7th.

7/18 - Rhinos 2 – Inmates 1 (Baptist Bowl) - CC ptiches a 4 hit masterpiece, barely getting by 2 to 1.

7/19 - Rhinos 6 – Inmates 2 (Baptist Bowl) - Rhinos in a close one with the Inmates until Scutaro boot leads to 4 runs for the Rhinos in the bottom of the 9th.

Post Draft

Despite not hearing results yet from the Wahoos or the Rhinos, I think the standings are now updated to include all games played at the Draft. (Dear Chief and Colonel Rhino: You have until midnight tomorrow to send me results from Draft weekend.)

Many (but not all) of you responded to the latest request for detailed results with exactly what I wanted. Thanks for that.

And most (but not all) of us have already reached the April 1 deadline of 20 games played.

I suggest this: If any of you are going to be playing the DVs via mail games or netplay, drop him an email asap. He has no games played, of course, and is probably itchin' to get a few in.

And remember, when sending CMs for mail games, you should send them based on your team's HOME games.

Killer Bee Games

Wahoos 7, Bees 3
Bees 9, Drillers 1
Bees 7, Mavs 3

Tweener Games

Tweeners 3, Wahoos 3
Tweeners 7, Mavs 3
Inmates 3, Tweeners 2

Tweeners draft weekend results:
The Friday night series vs. Wahoos is a bit of a blur (as documented by the scoresheets); but I feel certain it was 3 home games for us, and Wahoos won 2. Game 1 Felix lost 3-2. Game 2 Wahoos had 16 runs on 20 hits (Tweeners had less). There is evidence that game 3 went 12 innings, Wahoos scored 2 in the top of the 12th, and Mark Reynolds hit a 3-run walk-off homer in the bottom half. I bet that was fun.
Under more favorable conditions Saturday, we rolled 10 vs. Mavs, with Tweeners going 3-2 at home and 4-1 on the road. In 4 starts Gio Gonzalez picked up 3 wins and a no-decision.
We next lost 3 straight to the Inmates at the Baptist Bowl, then took 2 straight from him in the Hooverdome. Inmates scored 9 runs in each of the 1st 3 games, which was more than enough. In game 4 Corey Hart hit a walk-off solo shot in the 11th. Mad Bum tossed 7 strong innings to win game 5.
Saturday night, er, Sunday morning, required computer assistance, but we got some revenge vs. Wahoos, taking 2 of 3 at The Reservation. I’m sure it was just coincidence that, compared to Friday night, the Chief had a bit more to drink, and the Tweeners substantially less.
Tweeners stand at 12-9.

Second Request

This is more of a plea, really. When you send me an email with your game results, I need more than just your record.

I need...

1. Who you played.
2. How many you won and how many you lost. (A list of the games in the order you played them along with the scores would be perfect.)
3. Where the games were played. (Home games or road games?)

Example:
Wahoos vs Rhinos
Gm 1 at Rhinos - Wahoos win 4-3
Gm 2 at Rhinos - Rhinos win 5-3
Gm 3 at Wahoos - Wahoos win 9-6
Gm 4 at Wahoos - Wahoos win 7-2
Gm 5 at Wahoos - Rhinos win 8-4

The Expanded Standings page will have not only your W/L record, but also your Home and Road records, your W/L vs each division, your current W/L streak, and your W/L record for your last 10 games. It's impossible to do that without the details.

Write-ups for each game to put on Big Innings would be nice, too.

What NOT to do:

Here's how we did:
Buckeyes 3-7
Bees 5-5
Dvs 1-2

or...

We went 17-15 this weekend. Game files are attached.

or...

Here's an attachment with my stats. You can get my W/L record from that.


Please and Thank you,
Pigman

P.S. Thank you to the Fungoes for being the ONLY team so far to send in results correctly.

Game 1 at Inmates: Fungoes win it 2-1 with a Coco Crisp HR in the top of the ninth. Jon Garland picks up the win while Derek Holland gets the save.

Game 2 at Inmates: Fungoes squeak out a 1-0 win while the combined shutout goes to Porcello, Takahashi, Zumaya, Holland, and Frieri........WTF? Inmates couldn't buy a clutch hit and Porcello picks up the win while Frieri gets the save. Fungoes score the only run of the game on a ground out doubleplay by Coco Crisp...

Game 3 at Fungoes: Inmates finally score some runs as they win it 6-4. Porcello takes the loss for the Fungoes.

Game 4 at Fungoes: Game 1 of the Ewing Oiler Double Header goes to the Fungoes behind Clayton Kershaw's complete game, six-hitter, as the Fungoes win 6-3

Rosters and Draft Results

Updated rosters for the 2011 season and the results of the 2011 NASOMA Draft are now posted on the website.

I'm working on the standings.

Fungoes vs SuperGoofs

Fungoes 6, SuperGoofs 4

Fungoes win two of five at Goofville, while winning four of the five played at WTF!!

Fungoes vs Zaps

Zaps 3, Fungoes 2

Fungoes ran into a ZAP buzz saw at Zapper field losing three games and losing them badly. Scores for the three games were 14-4, 10-0, and 7-6. In those three games we gave up a four run inning, a five run inning, a six run inning and a seven run inning. We were outscored 31-10 in the three games......OUCH! Fungoes made significant inprovement when we played two games at WTF, winning both games. Scores at WTF were 5-2 and 3-2.

Game 1 @Driller Park - Ross Ohlendorf outduels Tim Lincecum, and Omar Infante has two RBI singles. Pigs win 3-2.

Game 2 @Driller Park - Anibal Sanchez took a 1-hit shutout into the8th inning. Pigs win 6-2.

Reporting Results

Remember to report all of your results. I don't need (or want) any game files or box scores - unless you want me to post a significant box score, like from a no-hitter. If you send me game files, fine, but I don't need them.

But here's what I DO need...

1. Who you played
2. How many you won and lost
3. Who was the home team

I know you played a lot of games at the Draft, but please take the time to send me this information for each series you played.

Remember to CC the email to your opponent as a way of confirming the results.

If you want to send the scores and/or a short write-up for each game or series, that's excellent. I will probably just copy and paste what you send me onto Big Innings, but it makes it more fun and interesting, so please consider doing this.

New Draft Rules

(I stole some of these from a post on SomWorld)

First person to pick out of order - buys the next case of beer
First person to pick someone on another team already - buys the next case of beer
First person to ask "Is he available?" - buys the next case of beer
First person to ask for a break - buys the next case of beer
Anybody who starts the draft with all their original picks - buys the next case of beer
Anybody named Philip Mullen - buys the next case of beer
Last person to congratulate the 2010 Champion Zaps - buys the next case of beer
First person to say "Nice pick" - buys the next case of beer
First person to pronounce a player completely wrong- buys the next case of beer

Depth Charts

Click on the team icons on the website to see depth charts heading into the draft. The players aren't listed in any certain order (Far be it from ME to decide who the 7th best first baseman is on the Tweeners!), but you can see what options each team has at each position.

Rosters and Draft Grid

The links on the website are updated to reflect the final rosters and draft picks heading into the 2011 Draft. I have put links to both html and excel versions of both.

As usual, the picks at the end of the draft have been consolidated. All of your picks from 150 on up are now lower numbers.

Email me or call if there is a problem or a mistake.
