Games
From The HEAD INMATE...
Inmates continue to suck, getting blown out in 5 straight by the surrogate Rhinos. Last game was close, with Impotentmates losing on 3-run walk-off tater in bottom of the 11th, 9-6.
Shitfuck.4/19 - Rhinos win 7-4. Rhinos score 5 in the first off of Javier Vazquez.
4/20 - Rhinos win 6-3. ARod went 3-4 with a homer.
4/21 - Rhinos win 11-3. Johan Santana gets blistered for 9 runs in 4 innings.
7/15 - Rhinos win 12-4. Hanley Ramirez went 3-3 with 5 RBI. Matt Garza threw 6 shutout innings. Vazquez again gave up 5 runs in the first inning. His pregame ritual of getting soused on Tequila, while colorful and interesting, is not appearing to help him much.
7/16 - Rhinos win 9-6 in 11 innings. The Inmates rallied to tie the game in the top of the 9th, but Placido Polanco hit a walk off 3-run homer in the 11th.
The Rhinos hit .361 for the series, with ARod (.563), Polanco (.545), Ethier (.500), Votto (.471), and H.Ramirez (.429) all hitting over .400.

From the FungoBat...
Fungoes and Nads faced off at Fungo Field today with the Nads winning 3 of 5. Here are the highlights:
Game 1: Fungoes win this one 4-2. Mussina picks up the win and Papelbon the save. Arroyo takes the loss. 'I just wanted to give my team a chance to win.' said Mussina, 'I got burned on a couple of pitches. But we won the game, and that's all that matters.'
Game 2: Nads win 4-3. Saunders picks up the win and Saito the save. The loss goes to Volstad. Saunders took a shutout into the ninth as the Nads held on for the one run victory.
Game 3: Nads score two runs in the top of the ninth to win 5-4. Grilli gets the win in relief of Saunders. Saito gets another save. Papelbon takes the loss. 'The only way this one could have been better', said Grilli, 'was if we had played it at home.'
Game 4: Nads unleash a 17 hit attack and win this one 11-2! Left fielder Josh Willingham cracked 2 homeruns and had 6 RBI for the Nads. Brian Bannister(4-4) allowed 2 runs in 6 innings, and picked up the victory. Bannister got help from Ramon Ramirez who earned his 1st save. Mike Mussina(6-8) was hit with the loss. 'I felt great out there tonight' Willingham said. 'I was seeing the ball perfectly, and I was right on it with my swing, plus you know, the Fungoes got the absolute worst pitching in the league!!!"
Game 5: Scott Olson threw a complete game shutout for the win, winning it 9-0. Fungoes stole 5 bases in the first inning and wound up with 9 steals! 3 each for Span and Figgins. Webb takes the loss.

Games
From the Tweeners...
Tweeners take 3 of 5 at the Hooverdome to finish the season 5-5 vs. DVs. How embarrassing for the boys in Tulsa. Oswalt goes the distance with no walks, 10 K's in game one, but we had to win it for him in the bottom of the 9th. With 2 outs Corey Hart missed the HR 1-9 walkoff chance, settling for a double. After Shane walked, Soriano connected for the 3-run walk-off. Beckett shut us down in game 2. Blanton and friends combined for a game 3 shutout; most of our offense was generated by repeatedly rolling the 6-10 double on Kazmir's card. Lannan outpitched Lowe for a 5-3 win in game 4. Harang can't match Halladay in game 5.
Warpigs 2, Nads 1
Game 132 - Pigs win 4-3 with a walk off single by Curtis Granderson thru the drawn-in infield. Ryan Dempster took the loss.
Game 133 - Nads win 7-5. Ervin Santana took another beating. Bronson Arroyo wasn't much better. Granderson came up in the 9th with a runner on first and no outs vs Takashi Saito, and even got a roll in his column... but it was the gap gbA. Roy Corcoran got the win in relief. Saito earned the save. Manny Ramirez homered twice for the Pigs.
Game 134 - Pigs win 4-2. The Nads homered twice in the first inning against Cliff Lee, but were shut out the rest of the way. The Pigs turned four double plays. Joe Saunders took the loss. Joakim Soria got the save.
DVs 2, Wahoos 1
I know nothing.

September 3 - Fungoes win 5-2 - Scott Olsen beat the Pigs for the second time this season. Denard Span broke a 2-2 tie in the 7th with a 2-run single. Pig cleanup hitter Chipper Jones said, "To be honest, we just got tired from running around the bases in those first five games. Plus, the Fungoes are a quality club. It's not like playing the DVs, where we can win without even trying. Seriously, it's a bitch to beat the Fungoes, while the DVs ARE our bitches. "
SuperGoofs 5, Rhinos 2
Rhinos 3, Buckeyes 2
So in an ongoing effort to screw myself out of a playoff spot, while also not helping the psuedo-Rhinos any closer to a spot, the Goofs take 5 of 7 and the Rhinos win 3 of 5 from the Buckeyes. Rhinos scored more runs (20) in the 5 games vs. the Buckeyes than in 7 with the Goofs (18). SuperGoofs ace Mark Guthrie won two games, including a combined 2 hitter with Broxton. Only notable item in the Buckeyes series was that it ended in time for me to watch the Rangers lose to the Astros (Andrus was on base 3 times). DVs

From the Tweeners...
The Goofs leapfrog the Rhinos into 2nd place in the BUD.
Warpigs 2, Wahoos 1
Game 1: Justin Duchscherer and the Pigs win 10-3. Ryan Doumit homered and Rafael Furcal had a 3-run double. The Pigs walked 11 times in the game. The Wahoo batters had 7 innings without a baserunner. And if not for a 2-out walk in the 9th, would have done it 8 times.
Game 2: Pigs win 6-1 behind John Lackey. Curtis Granderson went 2-4 with a triple and 2 RBI.
Game 3: Wahoos win 5-4 in 12 innings. The Pig defense sucked this game. The first 3 Wahoo runs scored on a Dustin Pedroia bases-loaded triple to Manny Ramirez, playing his first game of the year in LF. Then the winning run scored from second on a single and error on a ball hit to Rafael Furcal. Taylor Buchholz went the last 3 1/3 innings for the win.
And I know most of you know this, but just a reminder... every time there are games listed on here, the standings page on Nasoma.org is updated.

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.

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.

Inmates roto-rooted the Wahoos at the Baptist Bowl today, winning game one in the 15th on a pinch double by Lind, and then pulling game two out in the bottom of the 9th 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.Saturday, May 02, 2009

Dinner with Roger Staubach


Mrs. Pig and I (and a few hundred other GPISD invitees) had dinner tonight with Hall of Fame QB Roger Staubach. The occasion was a Character Recognition Banquet for GPISD. Roger is friends with our Superintendent and spoke for free. There was also both a silent auction and a live auction. The live auction included, among other things, footballs signed by Staubach... Drew Pearson and Staubach... Tony Romo... and one signed by Super Bowl champs Roger Staubach, Tom Rafferty, Larry Brown, and... some Green Bay Packer guy (I can't remember, but he was on their Super Bowl winning team in 1997 - Doug Evans maybe?) - and those four guys were all in attendance. The Roger football and the one signed by both him and Drew went for $2000 each. All proceeds went to the GPISD Education Foundation, the oldest such organization in the state. The organization raises funds for scholarships and innovative teacher grants.

In the top of the 9th, the Wahoos won the game when Billy Wagner gave up a 2-run homer to Johnny Damon and Joakim Soria gave up another 2-run homer to Aramis Ramirez. Cole Hamels pitched well for the Hoos, but the bullpen collapse cost him a win. Justin Morneau went 3-3 with a double and homer. Albert Pujols homered for the Pigs.

The Inmates and Warpigs split 4 games today. Here's the recap:
April 12 @Baptist Bowl - Inmates 6, Warpigs 4 - Ervin Santana got hammered early and often. Randy Wolf gets the win with plenty of bullpen help.
April 13 @Baptist Bowl - Warpigs 3, Inmates 2 - Justin Duchscherer's shutout bid ended in the 9th when Joakim Soria tried to blow the game.
May 25 @BallPork - Inmates 7, Warpigs 5 - Rich Harden had a no-hitter into the 6th, and struck out 11 in 7 innings, but Billy Wagner struggled and took the loss. The Pigs hit into 4 double plays.
May 26 @ BallPork - Warpigs 5, Inmates 4 in 10 innings - Manny Ramirez pinch hit a game-tying homer in the 9th, and Orlando Hudson hit a walk off double in the 10th. In the Battle of the Santanas, Johan won the duel as Ervin still has not had a scoreless inning against the Inmates.
The Inmates then traveled a couple of miles southeast of the Pig Pen to visit the Mavs. The inhospitable Mavs took 5 of 6, dropping the Inmates 7 and a half games out of first place in the MFD. The Mavs are now over .500 and within 2 games of the first place Buckeyes.
From the HEAD INMATE...
Inmates split four with Pigs, then lose five of six to the R. Weeks led Mavs. Only a game six rally kept Inmates from losing all six.
Inmates now 13-22.
This is NOT the year of the Inmate...
The HEAD INMATE
Weeks only played in the last three but he reached base 12 of 13 trips, stole five bases, scored five runs and drove in three with a home run. I can't recall a guy with that bad of a card having three games like that in a row.

From the HEAD INMATE...
DVs took all 5 vs Inmates via a very fucked-up netplay on Saturday.
Playing the September games first due to persnickety HAL, Inmates out-hit DVs 17-16, but lost in 12 innings 11-9 as Santana allowed 3 1-5 ballpark taters. Game 2 was uglier, as the Beakless Chicken gang was routed 9-2. The last game at the Baptist Bowl saw the Inmates take it in the ass 13-2.
Moving to Tulsa for the August games saw Santana shutout by Halladay 2-0. The finale had Ryan Howard hit 3 taters and a double, yet the Impotentmates still couldn’t win, losing 10-6.
Inmates are now 10-15.
The HEAD INMATE
And a good time was had by all….
DVs now 15-8 – the new netplay sucks, btw. Finally got it going in Hamachi, but trying to get it going with game only did not work – and Hart’s program would shut down everytime he tried to access lobby. For me, during the game setup, whenever I would try and click control over to him – it would hang. We ended up playing all 5 on his machine, with him home and visitor, which seemed to work a little better.
Not sure how/what we need to do - I like the drag and drop, but it is very different in terms of how we hand control back and forth.
And one of the homers was a 1-3 split card reading, not a ballpark homer – bee-otch!

Mock Draft vs the Actual First Round
1. David Price, Fungoes (Price)
2. Ricky Nolasco, Wahoos (Nolasco)
3. Chris Davis, Mavs (Davis)
4. Cliff Lee, Warpigs (Lee)
5. Alexei Ramirez, SuperGoofs (Ramirez)
I had no real intentention of taking Cliff Lee at 4 when I wrote the Mock, but the closer we got to Draft Day the more I realized I needed his card and those innings. The Goofs were hoping to get Davis, but settled for his second choice of Ramirez.
6. Justin Duchscherer, Warpigs (Balfour)
Despite what I predicted in the Mock, I had planned on taking Duchscherer at 4 and Kuo at 6. But I figured the two starters would serve me better by keeping Lackey from pitching in any homer parks this year. I also trusted that Matt Thornton would last until pick 17, and his card was every bit as good as Kuo's. If Thornton didn't survive, though, the gamble wouldn't have paid off.
7. Nate McLouth, Nads (McLouth)
Six of the first seven picks were correct in the Mock Draft.
8. Max Scherzer, Pastas (Duchscherer)
I commented that this team had to make a choice between current card and potential here. Scherzer helps in both. I had Scherzer going 14 to the Fungoes... and if he had made it that far, he would have.
9. Grant Balfour, Buckeyes (Teagarden)
The best reliever in the Draft falls to the Buckeyes at pick 9, making my prediction of Teagarden a moot point. Teagarden then started the big slide... sitting back in the green room all alone by the time he was chosen by the Sidewinders with pick 45. Said Taylor, "It was embarrassing to sit there so long all alone, not being picked. Even when all the kids made fun of my name, they still picked me for their team because... well, because I am GOOD! And now this. And to make it even worse, I have to play for the damn Snakes!"
10. Kerry Wood, Killer Bees (Danks)
I thought I had Wood going earlier (at pick 16) than he really would, but it turns out I had him slotted too late. I really thought the Bees would take anything other than a reliever, but Wood fits the Beeboy's plan of returning to the top in 2010.
11. Hong-Chi Kuo, Drillers (Kuo)
Another pick right on the money, even though I thought at the time that Kuo would really have gone earlier. Still, it's a great pick.
12. Taylor Buchholz, Wahoos (Wade)
When it came to this pick in the Mock Draft, I was torn between Wade and Buchholz because the Chief told me, "I'm torn between Wade and Buchholz." Buchholz gets the nod because, according to the Wahoo manager, "He's cuter."
13. John Danks, Sidewinders (Devine)
Danks slid a little, and the Snakeman unlocked his jaw and swallowed him whole. Devine would have helped, but Danks is a better pick.
14. Jose Arredondo, Fungoes (Choo)
15. Travis Snider, Fungoes (Scherzer)
When writing the Mock Draft, I knew Snider was going here. Just knew it. But I wanted Snider at pick 17, so I tried to lead the Fungoes to Choo. Plus, I liked the 'Gezundheit' line. Choo lasted until pick 37 - a nice pick by the Goofs. I know the FungoDude preferred either Scherzer or Danks with the other pick, but they were both already off the board. Arredondo is a nice consolation.
16. Joey Devine, Rhinos (Wood)
The Colonel assured me he would not take Wood (something about sloppy seconds), but I left the pick there because I liked the idea of him taking one of his cuts with his first round pick. Devine is a great pick for the Rhinos. His only drawback is the limited innings. The Rhinos made it an even better Draft by grabbing Corey Wade at pick 18.
Draft Wrap Up
Here are the transactions that have been reported to me from the Draft. Let me know if you made a trade that doesn't appear here.
- The DVs traded Clayton Kershaw, a 1st round pick in 2010, a 1st round pick in 2011, and an inner thigh massage to the Fungoes for Roy Halladay.
- The Pastas traded Lastings Milledge to the FFTs for pick 145.
- The Warpigs traded Melky Cabrera and David Ross to the FFTs to complete an earlier deal.
- The FFTs traded David Ross and Daric Barton to the DVs for Fred Lewis.
- The Drillers traded Leo Nunez to the DVs for a 2010 8th.
- The Fungoes traded Jeff Francoeur to the Killer Bees for a 2010 7th.
Those trades all happened prior to rosters being set for the 2009 season.
This trade happened after rosters were set:
- The Warpigs traded Rafael Furcal to the Killer Bees as the player to be named later in an earlier deal.

Ballpark Updates?

Saturday, March 07, 2009
Rosters and Draft Picks
The draft picks you can use are based on the picks you own and the number of players you protected. The formula is this:
(30) + (number of reserves you have) + (2 optional picks) - (number of protected players) = number of draft picks you get.
Example... the Fungoes have 4 reserves and protected 20 players. So...
30 + 4 + 2 - 20 = 16 draft picks, the last 2 of which are optional.
Now, the pick numbers of the picks you own, beginning at #142, will have changed. The reason for this is: pick 142, previously the Rhino 9th round pick, is lost to him because his last player (including his optional picks) will be taken prior to pick 142. So then everybody after 142 slides up one. That continues every time a team makes its last selection.
On the roster page, underneath your players, is a list of your draft picks. They are also listed on the Draft Grid. I didn't mark "optional" by your last two picks this year. Just know that your last two picks are the "Tweener Rule" picks. If you use them, you'll need to make cuts to get back to your allowable number of players.
I'm probably doing a crappy job of explaining all this. Sorry.
Some numbers from the final rosters...
There will be 213 draft picks (counting optional selections).
The World Champion Killer Bees retained the fewest players (14), followed by the Nads (16), the Tweeners (17), the Inmates (18), and the DVs (19). The most players were kept by the Rhinos (26), the Warpigs (25), and the FFTs (24).
Of the last 23 scheduled picks in the draft, the Tweeners have 8, the Killer Bees 5, the Nads 5, the Inmates 3, and the DVs 2. Those will be the teams picking at the end of the evening.
The Warpigs make the first optional pick of the Draft at #89, and the Pigs will also be the first team to make their final selection at pick #121. The Rhinos are next, finishing up with pick #129.
Counting optional picks, the Bees have the most draft picks with 20. The Warpigs have the fewest with 8.
There were six uncarded players protected, and half were by the Fungoes. The Warpigs are the only team who cannot draft an uncarded player (barring any trades between now and the Draft).
Call or email me if you have questions or if there is a problem with your roster or draft pick list.

500th Post

Read some sad news this morning. Something I missed from this off season... The Winston Salem Warthogs are no more. (What is a "thog" anyway?) The new team name is the Winston-Salem Dash. The "Dash" comes from the punctuation mark between the two city names (it replaces the space in the old name). How dumb is that?
I managed to find one last black Warthog cap in my size on Amazon. Bought it.

Flash Drives and Hamachi
Also, and this is a biggie... install Hamachi on your computer. It makes netplay so easy. The DVs and I struggled to get the game played the conventional way, but when connecting thru Hamachi, we had no problems at all (other than getting Chase Utley out).
Both teams have to have it running to use it. If one of the teams doesn't have it, your only option is connecting thru the game. With Hamachi, however, you can easily host or join, be home or away, enter thru the game lobby or not - all quickly and easily.
Here are the directions...
Go to this page https://secure.logmein.com/products/hamachi/vpn.asp?lang=en
Click on the Download Now button
Complete the registration, accept the conditions of use, and click Go to Download
Choose the Windows version to Download
Choose Run to the next two prompts; this will take you to the Setup Wizard
Accept the agreement and choose Next
I would UNCHECK the “automatically start Hamachi” and CHECK “create shortcut on your desktop.
I would leave the Security option UNCHECKED, as there’s no reason to have Hamachi running unless you’re playing Strat
Choose the top, non-commercial option
Click to Install
Finish to launch Hamachi
You’ll get a prompt saying that you appear to be running Hamachi for the first time. Click Next to take the short tutorial.
Now we’re going to launch Hamachi for the first time and create your own Hamachi network address. Click the power button in the bottom left
Choose an account nickname (mine was Pigman) This will be how you are displayed in the Hamachi network.
If you get a Windows Security Alert, choose “Unblock”
Now the Hamachi window will show your personal Hamachi network address and your Hamachi account nickname.
Click Next to complete the tutorial. You’re now ready to join the network we’ve already established for our league. Click the second button on the bottom row where you’ll have an option to Create a new network or Join an Existing Network. Choose the Join option.
Choose NASOMA for the name of the network you are joining, and founded1980 for the network password. Click Join.
Now you’re in. You’ll see other members of the league, displayed by their network address, name or both. You can right-click on a name to choose Set Label and adjust the display.
If the names are in gray, then the other users are not logged in. If they are green, they are logged in. You can right-click, choose Chat, and start a conversation with someone.
Now you’re ready to play NetPlay. One team “hosts” while the other “joins.” The joining team enters the host team’s Hamachi address. For example, to connect to the Warpigs, you would enter 5.138.22.200. Even easier is to have both teams enter the Game Lobby first and launch the game from there.
Let me know how it works for you. Call me or the DVs if you have any problems.
Play ball!
