Zelas 2, Tweeners 1
From Al Davis...
Tweeners drop 2 of 3 at home to finish the season series vs. Zaps. Game one was a good one; Utley's 8th inning homer off K-Rod tied it (HR 1-3, fly), but in the bottom half Zobrist comes off the bench for the pinch-hit BPHR (1-5) off Kuo. Howell saves the 4-3 win. Wainwright and Hernandez both lose again in games 2 and 3 by scores of 7-5 and 7-6.

Trade
The FFTs trade Joba Chamberlain and Kosuke Fukudome to the Inmates for Ryan Theriot and Chipper Jones.
Something tells me this means 5 years or so of Kosuke being referred to as Fuck You Dome every time he comes to bat.
I won't start making adjustments on the roster sheets until we get closer to the end of the 2010 season. For now, the rosters still reflect the 2010 teams.

Fungoes at FFTs
Fungoes 3, FFTs 1
From the WhatTheFungo...
Fungoes visited FFT Land for our final four....here are the results:
Game 1: Ichiro Suzuki had 5 hits and 2 RBI as the FFT'S topped the FUNGOES
in 10 innings by a score of 5 to 4 at Qualcomm Stadium. A Papelbon blown save left the game deadlocked at 4 after nine full innings. FFTs ended up winning
it in the 10th inning. Jorge Cantu lined a base-hit. After an out was
recorded, Tolbert took off for second and slid in with a stolen base.
Michael Bourn then drew a walk. Suzuki was up next and he slapped a single
resulting in an exciting win for the FFTs and a raucous post-game celebration by
the home town fans. FFTs had 11 hits for the afternoon. Fu-Te Ni(1-0) got credit for the victory, pitching 2 and 1/3 innings and
allowing no runs. Scott Feldman(0-1) took the loss in relief. He allowed 2
hits and 1 walk in 2/3 of an inning.
Game 2: In a game for the baseball purist, Rick Porcello(1-2) and James McDonald(0-1)
squared off in a tense pitching duel, The Waxahachie FUNGOES finally emerged
victorious over the FFT'S, 2 to 1. Fungoes brought 2 runs across the plate in the 7th inning with the help of 3
hits. The highlight belonged to Denard Span who deflated the mood of the
partisan fans when he stroked a base-hit plating two runs. The FFTs had a
chance in the 9th but they came up short. Jonathan Papelbon got the save, his 8th. TERRY's manager was reflective after
the loss, 'We should have won this one, we just made one too many mistakes.
Son-of-a-gun, that added a couple more white hairs on this noggin of mine.'
Game 3: Center fielder Grady Sizemore had 2 base hits at Qualcomm Stadium as the FUNGOES beat the FFT'S 4 to 2. Fungoes scored 3 runs in the 6th inning when they had 3 base hits. Mark Teahen
started the inning off right when he hit a single. Denard Span stepped into
the batter's box and he doubled. Lance Berkman was next to the plate, but
was promptly struck out. After another out, Nelson Cruz stepped up to the
plate and he lost the ball over the fence for three runs. The Fungoes had just 6
hits for the night. David Price(2-0) went 6 innings allowing 2 runs for the victory. Jonathan
Papelbon recorded the save, his 9th. Danys Baez(0-1) was the loser in
relief. Jason Kendall was quoted later saying "He hit the shit out of that one", when asked to describe the home run ball served up by Baez.
Game 4: First baseman Lance Berkman lofted one into the 'cheap seats' and had 5 RBI as
the FUNGOES outscored the FFT'S 8 to 7. Berkman provided much of the offense. He blasted a two-run home run in the
4th inning, doubled plating a run in the 5th inning and doubled which was
good for two runs in the 7th inning. This was the kind of game that many
fans love as the lead changed hands 5 times. Mitch Stetter(1-0) picked up the victory, allowing no runs in 1/3 of an
inning. James McDonald(0-2) was charged with the loss in relief. He allowed
3 hits and no walks in 1 inning. With this win, the Fungi improved to a division leading 71-50 record. With the loss, the FFTs record falls to 59-93, worst in the
division overall. "Well, I blame myself" Said Team owner Terry Miller, "I hired that sorry low-down dog of a manager".

Shit doesn’t rain but it splatters.
BUCKEYES 5 – INMATES 1 [Baptist Bowl]: Inmates manage four hits off of Carpenter.
INMATES 6 – BUCKEYES 4 [Baptist Bowl]: Four-run Inmate 5th is enough for a sloppy win.
BUCKEYES 5 – INMATES 1 [Baptist Bowl]: Carbon copy of game one. Inmates get four hits and inhale vociferously.
BUCKEYES 6 – INMATES 3 [BitchSlap Stadium]: Inmates get six hits and continue vacuuming skills.
BUCKEYES 3 – INMATES 2 (DH Game 1) [AssReaming Park]: 2-run, 2-out homer in bottom of the 9th by Rusty Ryal (seriously) reams Inmates in game one, but the fun is just starting…
BUCKEYES 4 – INMATES 3 (DH Game 2) [Sodomy Field]: 2-run, 1-out homer in bottom of the 9th by some other nameless motherfucker tears another new one for the Inmates.
INMATES 4 – Buckeyes 2 [Whap-His-PeePee Park]: Inmates finally win a game when Druidic extremists take over the outfield bleachers in the bottom of the 9th and plant fast-growing shrubbery, preventing any more last minute statistically preposterous crap.

DVs at Wahoos (cont.)
DVs 2, Wahoos 0
From the Chief...
DVs win the last two of the season at The Reservation. Game 1 was 9-3 and Game 2 was something like 5-2. It was big offensive explosions for the DVs and big-time performances from Roy Halladay (he improves to 22-3 for a team that will undoubtedly STILL miss the playoffs).

Warpigs vs Inmates
Pigs 5, Inmates 5
Game 1 - Warpigs 8, Inmates 7 (10 innings): Delmon Young went 3 for 5 with 3 RBI, but it was a home run in the 10th inning by Miguel Olivo that won the game for the Pigs. Benjie Molina was 3 for 5 with 4 RBI for the Inmates.
Game 2 - Inmates 6, Warpigs 2: Gavin Floyd went the distance for the win. The Pigs made 4 errors.
Game 3 - Inmates 5, Warpigs 2: Floyd wins again, allowing only a 9th-inning 2-run homer to Albert Pujols.

Game 5 - Warpigs 7, Inmates 6: A 3-run homer by Pujols put the game out of reach. Rich Harden got the win.
Game 6 - Warpigs 8, Inmates 5: The Pigs finally got to Floyd for the win. Carlos Gonzalez went 4 for 4 in defeat.

Game 10 - Warpigs 7, Inmates 1: Ross Ohlendorf gets his second straight complete game win over the Inmates, and Pujols hits another 3-run homer.

From The HEAD INMATE...
Inmates and Warpigs split ten of the ugliest games in recent memory:
WARPIGS 8 – INMATES 7 (10) [Baptist Bowl]: Three Inmate errors in the 1st inning allow four unearned runs to score. Inmates score unearned run in 9th to tie game and bring on closer Guzman to pitch 10th. M. Olivo hit first pitch @26 miles and Inmates can’t score in bottom of 10th.
INMATES 6 – WARPIGS 2 [Baptist Bowl]: Pigs return the 3-error inning favor, and Floyd pitches a strong complete game victory.
INMATES 5 – WARPIGS 2 [BallPork]: Floyd again pitches well, allowing only a two-run tater to Pujols (who homered for the second straight game).
WARPIGS 12 - INMATES 3 [BallPork]: Pigs score 9 in the 3nd off of Sucktana and Perez, Pooholes homers again, and the Inmates suck.
WARPIGS 7 – INMATES 6 [Baptist Bowl]: You-know-who jacks another, and all the Inmates could do was get close.
WARPIGS 8 – INMATES 5 [Baptist Bowl]: Pigs finally solve Floyd, scoring 5 in the 1st. Ohlendork pitches complete game.
INMATES 6 – WARPIGS 4 [Baptist Bowl]: Big innings rule the day (pardon the pun) as Beakless Chicken Gang score 5 in the 3rd and Porcine Pack answer with 4 in the 4th. Diaz pinch tater for Inmates in 8th ices the game.
INMATES 10 – WARPIGS 3 [BallPork]: 6-run Inmates 4th, highlighted by Gonzalez and Howard 2-run jacks help blow out the Porkers.
INMATES 8 – WARPIGS 6 [BallPork]: Inmates score 7 in the 3rd and hang on for victory despite you-know-who’s three hits.
WARPIGS 7 – INMATES 1 [BallPork]: Ohlendork once again owns the Inmates. Shitstain hits his 935th homer of the series, and Howard taters to help Inmates avoid ignominious shutout.
Interesting note: Both Pig and Inmate management agree that 2e14 is the worst fielding rating for a shortstop, as evidenced by S. Drew’s piss-poor little league performance.

DVs at Wahoos
Wahoos 2, DVs 1
From the DumVees...
From the DumVees...
In a series that would make the EQA guys jealous, the Wahoos and DVs staged their version of speed dating, NASOMA style.
Game 1 featured Halladay moving his record to 16-7 with a 3-2 win. Game took 9 minutes
Game 2 was Tommy Hunter going 8 innings, Hawksworth getting the save and the Wahoos winning 4-1. Game took 11 minutes
Game 3 was almost a carbon copy of game 2 as Nolasco goes 8, Hawksworth gets the save and the Wahoos win 4-1. Game took 12 minutes as the DVs actually had 3 pitching changes
You couldn’t eat a Double Dave’s pizza in the time it took to play those games – nor would you want to!

Pelfrey threw back to back shutouts against the Tweeners and Bees.

Tweeners 3, Fungoes 2
All I know to tell you so far is this...
The burgers were delicious.
Albert Pujols was on fire today. We played 15 and he went deep in 10 of those.
The Tweeners introduced his new "baby shit" dice.
The Killer Bee dogs are, well, let's say very friendly.
And the Fungoes, while apparently satisfying his own needs upstairs, caused the downstairs light shade to fall. The 1000 pound light bulb cover broke loose and crashed down onto the Pig laptop during our contest, landing on the keyboard and breaking one letter (which I have avoided using so far in this post). It was kinda scary (the Beeboy peed his pants and screeched like a girl).
The Snakes will be here soon.
Breakfast is supposed to be legendary. I can't wait.
It's not easy writing a post this long while avoiding a particular letter.

I saw this link on Yahoo...
Mavs keep C Haywood for $55M, 6 years (AP)
and couldn't figure out...
(1) how they could misspell J.Heyward,
(2) when we started having to pay our players in NASOMA, and
(3) why Yahoo was making such a big deal about news from NASOMA.

Inmates and Wahoos finish season series via netplay at the Reservation. Monumental offensive showings in all three games:
INMATES 4 – WAHOOS 0: Chipper hits grand slam in the 7th after three straight ballpark singles, while Vazquez allows four hits an Ks 12.
WAHOOS 3 – INMATES 2: Inmates hit into 8-2DP in both 1st and 2nd innings. Youkilis taters, and the Inmates out-hit the little chiefs 9-5 but lose.
INMATES 3 – WAHOOS 1: Howard hits 2-run tater and Wolf bests Baker, et al, in pitchers’ duel. Wahoos held to 13 hits total in this series.

Inmates continue down the path of vociferous and profuse inhalation:
DVs 3 – INMATES 1 [Hell]: Inmates get three hits in the first but can’t score, while Vazquez and Zavada combine to four-hit the DVs. Inmates still lose.
DVs 12 – INMATES 4 [Hell]: Santana allows seven runs in 1 2/3 innings while Halladay shuts down the Beakless Chicken Gang.
INMATES 10 – DVs 7 [Hell]: Howard and A. Jones both homer twice while the Inmate Arson Squad holds on for a rare win.
DVs 8 – INMATES 5 [Baptist Bowl]: Inmates forge ahead 5-4 in the 6th, only to have the Immolation Crew allow four DV runs on five hits in the seventh before two were out. Electrolux becomes Inmate team radio broadcast sponsor.
DVs 5 – INMATES 4 (12) [Baptist Bowl]: Inmates head into 9th holding 4-2 lead with closer Guzman on the hill. Yep, the Flames of Shit arose. DVs score twice to send the game into extra innings. Inmates had two doubles and a single in the first, but could only manage one run, and were held hitless after the sixth.

From The HEAD INMATE...
From The HEAD INMATE...
HAL rolled the last eight between the Drillers and the Inmates. Here are results:
INMATES 4 – DRILLERS 3 [Baptist Bowl]: All of the Driller offense came on a 3-run Johnson spud in the 3rd. Anderson scatters 5 hits through seven; Howard doubles home the game-winner in the 7th.
INMATES 9 – DRILLERS 8 (13) [Baptist Bowl]: Marathon attended by 95 faithful Beak-heads at the Baptist Bowl. Inmates pull it out in the 13th when Chipper Jones singled, Pennington pinch-ran and stole 2nd, and Molina singled him home.
INMATES 3 – DRILLERS 2 [Baptist Bowl]: Howard hit a 3-run homer in the 1st and Santana pitched a 2-hitter. Haren was good for the Drillers, allowing only three singles after the first inning.
INMATES 8 – DRILLERS 7 [Drillerville]: Dukes hits a 2-run tater, then tries to make up for it by committing a 2-base AND a 3-base error in the same inning. Inmate bullpen pitched well after Brian “The Self-Immolator” Fuentes tried to give the game away.
INMATES 6 – DRILLERS 1 [Drillerville]: Dunn hits two homers and Vazquez pitches well.
DRILLERS 5 – INMATES 3 [Baptist Bowl]: The Inmates suddenly remember who they are. Dunn hits another tater, but Lincecum K’s 11. Kelly “Babe” Shoppach homers for the Drillers in what was to become the norm for the rest of the series.
SHOPPACH 5 – INMATES 4 [Baptist Bowl]: Shoppach hits two homers and drives in all the Driller runs. Lincecum wins again, and the Beakless Chicken Gang can’t quite catch up.
DRILLERS 2 – INMATES 1 [Baptist Bowl]: Pitcher’s duel between Floyd and Rzepcghiu Rzpgauyrtb Rzpciasx , fuck, forget it. Inmates only get three hits because they can’t even pronounce this bastard’s name.
(Editor's note: While I appreciate The HEAD INMATE adding the home park on each game report, I am having trouble understanding why the Drillers had to play SIX games at the Baptist Bowl. Could it possibly have something to do with turf damage at Driller Park due to the recent TwilightPalooza?)

TWEENERS 3 – INMATES 2: Wainwright and Anderson hook up in uneventful pitcher’s duel.
TWEENERS 4 – INMATES 3: Walk-off victory for the Tweeners due to stellar Inmate defense (Dunn error). Sandoval gets 2-out single to drive in unearned run. Said Inmate manager Mike Schmidt: “!#@$$!#@^$@!”

INMATES 6 – TWEENERS 3: Anderson bests Wainwright this time in complete game victory.
TWEENERS 4 – INMATES 1: No Inmate offense combined with good Tweener pitching result in a snoozer of epic proportions. 260 Inmate fans show up to the game, but only because of the free beer and pizza given away in the 3rd inning.

Seth
From the Driller Dude...
On Seth's recent tournament trip to Georgetown, we took the team to see a
Round Rock Express game. We sat on the outfield berm behind the visiting
Albuquerque Isotopes bullpen.
As I scanned the pen for recognizable names, I noticed "Etherton" wearing
the number 8. I hollered down to him, "Hey eight, your first name is Seth,
right?" He told me yes. So I explained to him, in order for me and my wife
to agree to a name for our second kid, it would need to be the name of a
major league baseball player. Since he was with the Tigers at the time,
Seth became an agreeable name to both of us. I then called my kid Seth over
to the wall, introduced him to his "namesake", and asked for an autograph.
He agreed, I handed him a pen and Seth's game hat. We're now proud owners
of a "Seth Etherton 8" autographed Lewisville Mustang hat! The rest of the
Mustang team was impressed, became Isotope fans, and are hoping to see
Etherton's name on a Dodger jersey soon!

The only ones I have on there are the Pigs, FFTs, and Tweeners.

Tweeners at FFTs
FFTs 3, Tweeners 2
From Al...
Tweeners can do no better than a split on the road vs. FFTs. Game 1 former Tweener Hideki Matsui homers twice and drives in 5 off Dallas Braden, FFTs win 11-3. In game 2, Nick Hundley strengthens his argument for more playing time as he homers twice; Tweeners overcome a 3-run deficit and win 5-4. Game 3, Wainwright and friends combine for the 4-0 shutout. Weaver outpitches Felix in game 4, 5-2. In the finale, Aaron Effing Harang fans 10 and allows only 1 run in 8 innings; Reynolds hits a 9th inning homer off Mariano, but it's too little, too late as we fall 3-2.

I think it was game 5, Rhinos were 4 hit, but manage to hit for the cycle.
There was one game the we missed 2 BP homers (at my park) and a 1-18 HR chance all in the same inning, but luckily we won that one.
Vernon Wells hit the righty home run at Wahooville.
There were many more memorable moments like Rollins making 2 errors in the same inning, luckily had no effect on the out come.
Then there is of course those "magic beans (pitchers)" that the Pigs sold me that managed to get me into extra innings several times so that we could lose 3 out of 4. LoL

Warpigs vs Rhinos
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...

Pigman: Yeah, why?
Rhino: He's pitching against the Rangers tonight.
Pigman: Oh man, I wish you hadn't told me that.

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

Vuvuzelas
The Vuvuzela is the loud, constant, obnoxious noisemaker gaining notoriety at the World Cup. In honor of the vuvuzela, I have changed a team name on the standings page to represent our own loud, obnoxious noisemaker.

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.
