Playoffs 
Monday, July 30, 2007, 07:34 AM
Under normal circumstances I would be jumping up and down certainly excited that a team that I was on was making the playoffs. But, I was dejected (not to be confused with rejected) that EVERYONE gets to play at least one playoff game. The team that we're playing 'Elsies' has been undefeated. Now what could we attribute this too? Perhaps maybe due to the fact that they are in an environment where they have recess every work day? Never-the-less, we're prepared and ready for our upward trend - our winning streak! Good luck everyone...

Team Practice 
Monday, July 16, 2007, 12:46 PM
So the team practice was a success! A handful of the available and dedicated rejects gathered at Travis' house for some hot dogs (chedderwersts too!), beer and fun in the sun. We talked about strategy on the field but am not sure we really nailed down any new plan of attacks. We all took long turns at 'bat'. Some of us even developed new injuries sure to cause us issues on the field tonight (just rub some dirt or hot dog on it huh?) Overall it was a nice way to round out the weekend. Though I'm sure that I'm not the only one that took a quick shower and drop dead tired into bed shortly after the party broke up! So, we have one more regulation game and then one playoff game. Get the lead out and let's put some more in the win category!

Team photos have been partially added. So click away...some are there, and some just have the future team picture as the image. Next week, I'll get this all finished up. You know, when we add another 'W' to our record! Go team.

Well, it was bound to happen. No, it isn't an end to the war in Iraq, but our very first loss. We were certainly left wanting when it came to playing the 'Blue Balls'. A team full of goliaths and folks that "couldn't feel" an out. There were errors on both sides of the field, but we couldn't seem to capitalize on any of them. Maybe it's because as the season progresses, the skill level of the other teams is progressing also? I'd like to think that the Blue's are out every afternoon in empty parks practicing their kicks, sneaky runs to second base and 'sliding' (even though it's now illegal for some reason). Speaking of which, I know from personal experience that sliding is allowed, I have the scars on my leg/arm to prove it (as I'm sure others on the team have too). Well, buck up right!?! Next week there IS NO GAME! the the 7th of July will yield us another win and perhaps some 'relief from the pressure' (of a loss).

More Games 
Friday, June 22, 2007, 11:27 AM
We've gotten an update from our team captain and el capitan gives us a few more games to post to the schedule. I'm going to have to rack my smallish, man-sized brain for cool quotes and tangy one-liners to post there. More to follow.
