Welcome Back Doolies!!!!





It's been 6 long years since this blog has had any activity and I think its time to revive it as the Doolies season looks in need of immediate CPR.  Gentlemen, it has been a pleasure to share the field with you guys for the past 14 years.  Showing up to the field every Sunday used to be the highlight of my week, but now it has simply become a nuisance.



I don't want to come to the field every week and immediately feel like turning around as soon as I get in the parking lot and neither should you.  Listen, we all have our excuses on why we suck, multiple kids to keep up with, pregnant wives, baby mama drama, spending too much time at Indian Trial Club, partying too hard in Manasquan, Tinder heartbreak, planning your wedding, tire sales are down, guys the list could go on for days.  I think it's time be get back to basics and turn this thing around.



I texted with a fellow Doolie earlier today and said to him, "We cant get by on being young and athletic anymore because we are now neither."  We need to start at the cooler and enjoy the two to three hours we are at the field like we used to.  We have some very winnable games coming up and then a brutal road trip the last 5 weeks of the season before we head off into the playoffs.  It's not too late to turn it around and it starts next week with long time rivals DOA.  Im ready to empty the tank here, hope you are too.



Finally I would like to propose a lineup change. Id like to request we bat Espo lead off.  If that means move Willy down in the order or just move everyone back one spot I dont care.  We need to start scoring runs in the 1st inning and I think batting that little maniac lead off may be the spark we need.
