First Round Playoff Preview

First round of the playoffs and we draw the Cruel Shoes. The Doolies closed the season on one heck of a run with tons of momentum, but we have been in this position before. A lot of rumblings about the playoff bracket and it being built for a run to the title. Let's not overlook the Cruel Shoes here. Yes we waxed their ass earlier in the season, but we were a different team then and I'm sure so were they. I actually pitched that day and am pretty sure they lined or grounded out to me close to 10 times. If we keep up the stellar defense and timely hitting a date with the North Ropers will sure be in our future. Let's take a look at the lineup for Sunday.

1. Espo SS
2. Ward LF
3. N. Benvenuto RF
4. Toal???????
5. Williams 2b
6. Sangiorgi P
7.  Spagnuolo LC
8. Dipisa 3b
9. Berrian C
10. A. Benvenuto 1b

Walker RC

Couple regulars and key pieces to the Doolies second half run skipping the first playoff game. Toal sounds like a game time decision. Do the Doolies find a replacement for him or do they just roll the dice and play ironman softball?  Rumors that Bunting is standing next to his phone awaiting a call   Big Question heading into a playoff game against a veteran team that upset the Doolies in the playoffs back in year 3. If anyone remembers that game it was a rainy day and the game was played at Finch on the far field and the Doolies suffered a heartbreaking walk off loss to an inferior Cruel Shoes team. Good news for Doolies is rain is not in the forecast and I'm sure a W will follow.

Here we go Doolies!!!!!!!
