Rhinos vs Inmates

Rhinos 6, Inmates 4

Tweeners at Rhinos

Tweeners 4, Rhinos 1

From Colonel Rhino...

Game 1

Tweeners win in an 18 inning affair by a score of 3 to 2. Mark Reynolds smashed a bases-empty 'big-fly' and the Rhinos went down without a fight in the bottom of the 18th. Running out of relievers the Rhinos pitched Gonzalez for 8 innings; despite the HR in the 18^th Gonzalez only gave up 3 hits and 2 walks.

Game 2

Felix Hernandez tossed a complete game and designated hitter Mark Reynolds lofted one into the 'cheap seats' beating the Rhinos 4 to 3. The Tweeners took the lead for good in the eighth by scoring 3 off the Rhinos vaunted bull pen.

Game 3

Pablo Sandoval slammed a homerun and had 3 RBI and Adam Wainwright pitched a complete game beating the Rhinos 4 to 3.

Game 4

The score was knotted at 4 after nine innings. The Rhinos were victorious in the 10th inning. After Matt Kemp smashed a bases-empty homerun, resulting in an exciting win for the Rhinos and a raucous post-game celebration by the home town fans.

Game 5

Brendan Ryan hit 2 triples and had 4 RBI as the Rhinos took a 15 to 4 beating. Adam Wainwright picked up the win pitching 7 2/3 innings.

Inmates at Nads

Nads 4, Inmates 3

From the Nadman...

Inmates go 3-4 at NADS, neither team played very well – both teams were inconsistent with team bats either getting hot or going completely dormant.

NAD season is done – ready for a new season - where are the cards??

Drillers at DVs

Drillers 4, DVs 3

The Fungoes win the NERDD with the Drillers coming in second. The Drillers will be the second wild card in the playoffs.

From our girl in Tulsa...

In a series reminiscent of previous year’s titanic struggles, the DVs and Drillers waged an epic series that took the entire 7 games to decide. (Not really – I couldn’t get these piece of crap games done fast enough!).

Drillers take 4 of 7- here’s a breakdown:

1 – Drillers win 12-4. Haren K’s 10, Longoria collects 3 hits and Drillers punish their former teammate (and now former DV) Aaron Cook.

2 – DVs win 2-1 behind Cahill and 5 relievers that hold the Drillers to 6 hits

3 – DVs utilize the resurgent Derek Lowe to a 1-0 shoutout. DVs only have 3 hits off of former Polish Olympian Mark Rzepczynsk-ksnyzcpezR, but one of them is Ian Kinsler’s 36^th home run. Kinsler remarked after the game: “This is better than winning the World Series with the Rangers in 2010”

4- Drillers win 7-4 as the Drillers hammer Roy Halladay for 6 runs in 4 IP. Jeter goes 3 for 3 and the Driller LaRoche has 2 HRs (the DV LaRoche has none)

5 – DVs hammer Jeff Niemann for 9 runs in 5 IP and win 9-4. Cahill completes his rookie season with another win to move his final record to 6-12

6 – Drillers prevail 2-0 as they only get to see Aaron Cook for 1 batter as the DVs quickly go to the bullpen while banishing Cook to detail Halladay’s car in the player’s parking lot for the remainder of the game. Hamell (Jason, not Dorothy), Wilson and Hoffman combine to limit the DVs to 5 hits

7 – Drillers continue their mastery with a 1-0 shutout. Mark Rzepczynsk-ksnyzcpezR (with his mother and potato farming father in the stands to see him play in person for the first time) combines with Wilson and Hoffman on a 4 hitter. Seth Smith hits a home run for the game’s only run. Todd Helton makes the final out in the DV season – (perhaps the last ever in a DV uniform?).

DVs end 72-90 – going 9-22 over the last month plus. Interesting that the team hit .252, but did not have anyone hit under .200.

Good luck to all in the playoffs – Stanton, Castro, Hellickson and Wallace look forward to their first post season appearances next fall.

Drillers vs Fungoes

Fungoes 7, Drillers 7

From the GunFo...

Fungoes and Drillers tangled in an all out knockdown 14 game series with the division hanging in the balance, here are the results:

Game 1: Drillers win game 1 at home 6-5. Holland takes the loss for the Fungi. Hammel wins it for the Home team while Hoffman picks up the save.

The Drillers took the lead for good in the bottom of the 2nd inning scoring 3 runs on 4 hits. After an out was recorded, Juan Pierre began the Driller spurt when he
tripled. Paul Konerko followed and he popped a two-run clout over the fence. Evan Longoria then doubled. Ryan Ludwick was up next and he drew a walk.
Kelly Shoppach was next to the plate, but was promptly struck out. Jacoby Ellsbury joined his teammates in the uprising and banged out a single.
Ellsbury took second on the throw. Nick Johnson followed, but he was set down on strikes. The Fungoes were retired without difficulty in the 9th.

Game 2: Home cooking for the Drillers as they take a 3-0 lead early and hold on for the 4-2 win. Shields picks up the win and Hoffman

records another save for the home team. Porcello takes the loss.

Game 3: Fungoes jump out to an 8-1 lead and win this one easily 8-3. Price gets the win while Rzepczynski takes the loss. Orlando Hudson

was a seemingly constant irritant to the hometown fans as he provided much of the offense for the visitors. He slapped a base-hit in the
1st inning, cleared the fences for a two-run home run in the 3rd inning and doubled which was good for two runs in the 4th inning.

Game 4: Fungoes win a pitchers duel to complete the four game set at Drillerville 2-1. Bergeson picks up the win and Papelbon the save. Haren takes the tough luck loss.

Game 5: At WTF Drillers win it 5-4 with a run in the 11th. Trevor Hoffman was the winner allowing no runs in 2 innings. Joe Nathan earned the save. Tim Byrdak was

given the loss in relief. The score was knotted at 4 after nine innings. The Drillers won the game in the 11th inning. After an out was recorded, Ryan Hanigan banged

out a single. Pierre got a good lead and stole second. Jacoby Ellsbury then doubled. Nick Johnson was the next batter, but he struck out. Derek Jeter was a strikeout
victim, unable to help out. This was a game of many highs and lows for the home town fans, as the lead kept changing - 5 times in all.

Game 6: Drillers win again at WTF! The Drillers erupted with the game winning runs in the 8th inning as they scored 4 runs on 3 base hits. The highlight belonged to Asdrubal Cabrera

who silenced the stadium when he doubled clearing the bases. The Fungi threatened in the 9th but their rally came up short. Jason Hammel allowed 4 runs in 7 innings, and picked

up the victory. Trevor Hoffman got the save. Jonathan Papelbon(4-2) ended up with the loss in relief.

Game 7: Drillers complete the sweep of the three game set at WTF with a 3-0 win. Shields pitched a solid game. He allowed 5 hits and 1 walk in 7 innings. Both teams ended up with

6 hits on the night. Trevor Hoffman recorded the save, his 7th. Holland absorbed the loss. He allowed 2 runs and 4 hits in 6 and 2/3 innings.

Game 8: Derek Jeter jacked one out of the ballyard and had 4 RBI and Dan Haren tossed a complete game at Wrigley Field where the DRILLERS beat the FUNGOES 8 to 3.

It was a good day for the Drillers thanks to Jeter. He lined a base-hit which scored a run in the 1st inning, lined a one-base hit in the 7th inning and rifled a three-run blast in the 8th inning.

Drillers finished with 15 hits in the victory. Haren allowed 3 runs on the game. Ryan Rowland-Smith suffered the loss. He allowed 14 hits and 2 walks in 7 and 1/3 innings.

Game 9: In a tight game it was the FUNGOES 6, the DRILLERS 4 at Driller Field. Scott Feldman earned his pay with a solid performance for Fungoes. He was reached for 4 hits and 1 walk

in 7 innings. The Fungoes had 11 hits for the game and the Drillers had 5. Jeff Niemann took the loss. He allowed a few too many baserunners giving up 8 hits and 3 walks in 3 and 2/3 innings.

Game 10: The Fungoes win again at Driller Feild 8-5. The Fungoes jumped out to the early lead in the first inning scoring a single run using 2 hits. Fungoes had a total of 10 hits for the game.

Jonathan Papelbon got the win allowing no runs in 1 and 1/3 innings. The losing pitcher was Jason Hammel. He got hit pretty hard, allowing 7 hits and 2 walks in 2 and 2/3 innings.

Game 11: In a close game it was the FUNGOES 6, the DRILLERS 4 at WTF. Fungoes jumped on top of the Drillers in the 4th inning scoring a single run on 2 hits. The Drillers were retired

without difficulty in the 9th. The win was credited to Tim Wakefield who went 5 and 1/3 innings allowing 3 runs. Jonathan Papelbon earned the save, his 30th. James Shields was
charged with the loss. He was knocked around by DEREK, allowing 11 hits and 2 walks in 4 and 2/3 innings.

Game 12: Scott Feldman went the distance in game one of a double header at WTF where the FUNGOES beat the DRILLERS by the score of 6 to 1. Feldman pitched a fine game. He allowed

8 hits and 3 walks in 9 innings. The Fungoes had 9 hits for the afternoon. Dan Haren was the losing pitcher. He allowed 6 runs and 9 hits in 8 innings.

Game 13: The DRILLERS pitching staff gave the WTF fans an evening that they'll never forget in game two of the double header, by tossing a combined no-hitter! The tension started to build around

the 6th inning. By the 9th inning the crowd was electrified. The Fungoes went down quietly in the bottom of the 9th. The win was credited to Jeff Niemann(2-0) who went 7 innings allowing

no runs. Trevor Hoffman gained credit for his 8th save. Ryan Rowland-Smith absorbed the loss. You probably have a better chance of winning the lottery than this happening,' said Niemann

who got credit for the win,'I don't expect it to sink in for awhile.' he said. 'You know, it's hard to say who was better, the starter or the bullpen!'

Game 14: The FUNGOES batters feasted on the DRILLERS pitching at WTF. The final score was a lop-sided 13 to 3. Michael Cuddyer helped send the fans home happy. He laced a single in the 4th
inning, laced a one-base hit resulting in a run in the 5th inning and blasted a two-run home run in the 6th inning. The Fungoes had 15 hits for the game while the Drillers had 7. Rick Porcello

picked up the victory, allowing no runs in 5 and 1/3 innings. Porcello got help from Hideki Okajima who earned his 2nd save. The loss was charged to Jason Hammel. He got hit hard, allowing

9 hits and 2 walks in 4 and 1/3 innings.

Fungoes season is now complete, finishing with a 93-69 record.

Fungoes vs Mavs

Fungoes 3, Mavs 2

From the Fugnose...

Fungoes and Mavs got five in today with the Fungi winning 3 of 5. Here are the high (low?) lights:

Game 1:

Fungoes break open a close game in the 7th with a seven spot! Gallardo takes the loss while Price picks up the win. Three inning save for Feldman.

Game 2:

Mavs get to Wakefield for 6 in the first. Hard to believe but Wakefield goes the distance losing 13-1. Hochevar picks up the win. Chris Davis enjoyed a big evening at the plate. He slapped a base-hit in the
1st inning and emptied the bases with a Grand Slam homerun in the 8th inning.
TAD finished with 16 hits while DEREK ended up with 4.

Game 3:

Fungoes win game three 8-2. Bergeson picks up the Win for the Fungi and Okajima earns the three-inning save. The loss goes to Marquis. Fungoes simply wore out the Mav pitching staff, scoring in 6 different innings.

Game 4:

Yovani Gallardo and Tim Wakefield locked horns in a pitcher's duel
with Gallardo and the MAVS coming out on top of the FUNGOES 2 to
0.

Mav's came up with 2 runs in the 4th inning when they had 3 base hits. They
would hold up as the winning runs. After the 4th inning, neither team was
able to score.

Jose Valverde earned the save.

Game 5:

Designated hitter Ryan Zimmerman homered and had 4 RBI at What the Fuck Field where
the WTF FUNGOES beat the MAVS by the score of 8 to 6.

Zimmerman made sure the WTF fans enjoyed themselves. He doubled scoring two
baserunners in the 3rd inning and smashed a two-run homer in the 7th inning.
Fungoes banged out 9 hits on the night.

David Price allowed 5 runs in 7 innings, and picked up the victory.
Jonathan Papelbon earned the save. Robinson Tejeda was the loser
in relief.

Fungoes record now stands at 83-60.

35 Years Ago Today

It's hard to believe, but it was 35 years ago today that the Red Sox and Reds played game 6 of the World Series. Arguably the most significant game in baseball history, it ended just after midnight with Carlton Fisk hitting a 12th-inning home run off the foul pole in left.

I still remember where I was: sitting on the floor in front of our tv in Kettering, Ohio. Every day at school I was surrounded by Reds fans, but I liked Yaz and the Sox.

Good times.

Makes me feel old.

Rhinos vs the AWD

Rhinos 5, Killer Bees 5
Rhinos 2, VuvuZuckers 3
Rhinos 3, Sidewinders 7

Two biggest news flashes: Jair Jurrjens threw a no-hitter for the Bees, allowing only 3 walks in the 6-0 victory over the Rhinos.

The Snakes and VuvuZelas tied for the AWD title with records of 97-65. Per NASOMA tie-breaker rules, the Sidewinders and Vuvus will play a 1-game playoff to determine which team wins the division (and gets a bye in the first round), and which team has to turn around and play on the road the next day as a wild card. The home team for the 1-game playoff will be determined by a roll of the 20-sided die by the Commissioner.


Game details from Colonel Rhino...

Rhinos go 3-2 vs Bees

It was one of those typical series between the Bees and Rhinos, 4 of 5 games were determined by 1 run and could of gone either way, luckily the high priced Rhino bullpen came through.

Game 1 - Rhinos get shut out 1 - 0 by Hansen as the Rhino bats couldn't put together two consecutive hits.

Game 2 - Trailing 6 to 7 in the 8th Kemp singled stole second and with 2 outs Dickerson doubled and Hanley followed up with a single to give the Rhinos an 8-7 win.

Game 3 - Rhinos win 5 to 4 on 8 strong innings from Millwood, Bell picked up a nervous save.

Game 4 - Rhinos win another close one 4 to 3, with Bell rounding out his season with a save.

Game 5 - Is one for the Bees record books with Jurrjens pitching a no-hitter against the Rhinos and was only 3 walks from a perfect game.


From Beeboy...
Jose - Bees take 3 of 5 at the Hive. Attached are the .html files. Somehow I must have deleted the game files and subsets for our series. I had a discrepancy in my record/stats within the game and in my spreadsheet (which I update periodically). In trying to find the errors, I think I deleted a few files by accident. Sorry, but I guess you will have to manually enter these stats.

(Editor's note: The above is NASOMAspeak for "Blow me. That's what you get for taking so long to play these games. Oh, and I have great calves.")


From Colonel Rhino...

Rhinos go 2-3 vs Zapper

Game 1 goes to Zappers 10 - 2 as Fielder hit a grand slam in the 7th to pull away for good.

Game 2 Hero for the Rhino's was Votto who homered twice with a runner on giving the Rhinos a 9 to 5 victory.

Game 3 Greinke silenced the Rhinos bats allowing on 2 hits and picked-up the 4 to 1 win.

Game 4 Millwood walked 10 Zapper batters in 5 innings which lead to a 13 to 1 route of the Rhinos.

Game 5 A-Rod has 4 hits and scored 3 times as the Rhinos get by the Zaps 6 -3


From Snakeman...

Snakes in second place in the AWD playing the RhinoSultans

5/16--Garza one hits the anemic snake attack 3-1; Dickerson wins the game with a 2 run pinch double in the 7th.

5/17--Snakes get 4 in the first and hold on for a 7-4 win. Mauer , Hill and Braun hit homeruns.

8/11-scoreless until the 6th, the snakes win 2-1 in the 10th on a Pagan RBI single. Wuertz is the winner, Sherrill the loser

8/12 Snakes win big behind Ubaldo 15-4.

8/13 SultanRhinos pound Snake pitching 7-0. Badenhop and 2 relievers combine for the shutout. Braun, Hanley, Infante and Votto hit taters.

Snakes finsihed the regular season by netpalying the last 5 games at the rhinos. We needed to sweep to win the division.

4/3--Tejada doubles in Bartlett in the top of the 12th for a SSW 1-0 win. Wuertz gets the victory, Thornton the loss.

4/4 the battle of 2 run HRs is won by the snakes 3-1(Kubel hit two,wright and Kemp added one each for the final score Snakes 6 Rhinos 2.) Thornton the loser, Soriano the winner.

4/5 Snakes get to Z Duke early and hang on for the 10-5 win. 7 HR in the game.

6/27 Peavy and Breslow combine on the 2 hit shutout. Snakes tack on late for the 8-0 victory. Heading into the final game of the year, we can win the division if we win the game......

6/28 The Rhinos trampled our climax(so to speak) by winning the final game 10-1. Snakes score first but watch the vaunted Rhino attack score 10 unanswered. Millwood pitches the complete game victory.
