NEWS AND NOTES:

- Injury (sort of): P.D.X. is out with food poisoning for three games.

- Giff will be proud of his distinctly Biggio-like performance in that 4th of July game: hit a homer, stole a base as a catcher, and was hit by a pitch.

So in the 7/14 game...Rush leaves after the 8th with a 5-3 lead, Johnnie blows the save in the 9th, then gets the win when the Oats score in the bottom of the inning. There should be a name for that.

So are we going to see a PED suspension for Gunpowder? Last year he had 20 HR. This year he has 32 at the break? I guess the 212 AB v. 345 AB makes a difference but consider he is also 4 for 10 trying to steal (2 for 3 last year).

Just seems a bit familiar...

Here are the full All-Star rosters if you want to compare stats.

IIRC the "every team gets at least one All-Star" rule is in effect, so if you want to single out someone who stole Brian's spot it would probably be Tony "Twinkletoes" Quinones of Altoona.

e: That, or Regina got a fucking middle reliever on the team despite having three other players.

I think you started out something like 2-8 last year, so since then you are like 19-5. You've turned into Jack Morris in that you know how to pitch to the score. Now you just need to grow a creepy mustache.

Walrus mustache is better than giving quotes like Morris.

WEEK 16 UPDATE

Short week with the All-Star break, but the big news is that I was able to tweak the schedule and the Sports Frogs and the Oats will play each other head-to-head in a 4-game series next week in Burlington. Here are the scheduled starters:

7/24 - Sabo vs. degenerasian
7/25 - Brian vs. Rush2112
7/26 - DSafetyGuy vs. howard
7/27 - TT2.0 vs. Moreta

Unfortunately, govmentchedda and the Oats' fifth starter (blundercrush or steve) won't make their starts during this series, but I'll try to fit them in a second series later this season (probably September).

So here's the deal: If you are one of the scheduled starting pitchers, let me know if there's someone on the opposing team you'd like to hit when he (or she?) comes to the plate. I'll try to accommodate what I can, but don't want things to get so out of hand with ejections/suspensions that we can't field proper teams.

==============================================================================================================================

OK, on to the recap. In the All-Star Game, the Shrew Conference defeated the Bensell Conference, 4-1. Here is the box score if you'd like to see how it played out. Other than Rams Fanny going 2-for-3, no Swamp player did jack shit of note. govmentchedda and rass got the Cito Gaston/Mike Mussina treatment and did not make an appearance.

Image Burlington Sports Frogs
The Sports Frogs picked up after the break by taking two of three from Saint John to stay atop the Northeast Division. Next week they'll start with a four-game home series against the hated Holland Oats, followed by a three-game set against Danbury.

- This Week: 2-1
- Season: 65-34 (1st in Div)
- League Power Ranking: 4nd
- Next Week: vs. Holland (4 games), vs. Danbury (3 games)




Image Holland Oats
The Oats won their first game after the break, but then dropped the next two to fall a half-game back of the surging Parma Ham Fighters for the division lead. After their showdown in Burlington, the Oats will host a three-game set vs. Nassau.

- This Week: 1-2
- Season: 52-44 (2nd in Div, 0.5 GB)
- League Power Ranking: 9th
- Next Week: at Burlington (4 games), vs. Nassau (3 games)

FYI, "who do you want to hit?" requests for pitchers can be posted here, or you can PM if you want to keep it a secret (as at least one person has already done).
