Killer Bees 4, Tweeners 3

With the Tweeners' magic number at 2, one win over the visiting Bees would clinch the AWD title. We could not get it done in game #1, as Cueto allowed only 4 hits, Motte got a 2-inning save, Bees won 4-1. The champagne was still properly chilled for the clincher, which came in game #2. Hal was unimpressed, reporting that Ivan Nova(9-4) contributed a pedestrian performance to earn the win. He went 5 and 1/3 innings surrendering 5 hits and 1 walk. For manager George Brett and the Logan County faithful it was a thing of beauty. Victorino homered, the Panda tripled, the 2-inning save went to Romo, and the Tweeners rode 11 hits, 5 walks, and 3 HBPs to a 6-2 victory. Go crazy, Folks! Go crazy!! The momentum carried over to wins in game #3 (Gio over Verlander 10-2) and game #4 (MadBum over Cueto 6-2). We lost focus for games 5-6-7, losing by scores of 3-1, 5-2, and 5-4. Tweeners will use the final 3 games vs. DVs to set up the rotation for a round 1 series vs. the Fungrillers (or Drillgoes).

We would also be remiss if we failed to acknowledge the accomplishments of several Giant Tweeners in the recently completed MLB World Series. Tweeners pitchers earned the win in 2 of the 4 games, along with 3 saves, including both win and save in the game 4 clincher. On the offensive side it was a Tweener who drove in the winning run in the final game (same guy who was NLCS MVP), and yet another Tweener named WS MVP. May their mojo propel us in the NASOMA playoffs. As the Giants have proven twice in 3 years, shit can happen.

(Editor's note: Along the "shit can happen" vein, there is still a chance that the Killer Bees could make the playoffs. Now THAT would be funny.)
