The Season has Officially Turned Around

Listen fellas, after that first inning today I have to admit I was a little worried.  Down 9-0 after 1 is an incredible hole to be in in this league against a good team, just happy we weren't playing a good team.  A brilliant defensive alignment shift by Nicky and the explosion of the Doolies bats saw a 35-6 run to finish the game and the Doolies are officially over .500.  Things really started off terrible for us as Andy showed up after 6pm with the beer and the gear.  The Highlanders had thrown the ball down to second twice before he got the beer up the hill.  Pathetic showing by Pass block here.  For future, if you are on beer you better be the first guy at the field.

Couple highlights from the game.  Ill go ahead and say the new bat is officially broken in after the 3 dingers I hit. Two of them I didn't even think I got into that well but they just took off.

The young bucks Tyler and Andy have officially figured out how to play in this league.  Andy laughed at the shift and sent one to left field and mixed in a couple other hits.  Tyler was flying around in the outfield and finished 6-6.

Von Dipes was out there stroking and will be missed next week as he makes his valiant return to the Parker House.  Chachi was smacking it around and I think scored 22 runs pinch running for anyone who would have him.

Espo I am not sure hit a ball out of the infield and missed a golden opportunity to chirp an opposing team all game so that was a little disappointing.  Mailly, Im not too worried about him right now, he's cooled off a little, but I know he doesn't waste his hits on bad pitching.  He will carry us in the playoffs.

Couple nice defensive plays by Nicky and Big B in the middle innings helped keep these guys from any type of momentum shift.  Johnny, do us all a favor and stay home next week.  You need to rest up for the wedding and the playoffs.  We do not need you next week hobbling all over the place, although you did swing it great today.

Let's talk about the Highlanders for a little here.  What the hell happened to those guys?  Where was Mr. Barsalona and the rest of the old guys that used to play for them?  This crew that showed up today may be the last group of guys I'd ever want to hang out with.  Multiple guys wearing snapchat glasses. Joe DiMaggio in right field just crushing lines of coke.  The Juice running around the outfield clueless.  The most ridiculous outfield shift I have ever seen in my life.  These are just the things I can remember off the top of my head.  What a disgrace.

Next week we finish up with our long time rivals the Uncle Stiffies.  Id like to think if we win we should get a nice playoff setup with a 6-4 record.  Not sure where that puts us, but I'd assume that we are playing two opening weekend of the playoffs and prob see the Highlanders or the Potbellies again. Its been a great run fellas lets get another one next week and keep cruising to the playoffs.
