Happy fourth of July!!

We have three updates today; video highlights for the game, the 3 Spliff Stars and updated YTD-Stats.

Check the stats out here.

Here are the video’s:

1. N-Lights comes through with a single:

1. Figgs rips a line-drive into the gap:

I’m going to try to remember to take more video, since most peeps seem to really like em’. Wish me luck

3 Spliff Stars:

2. Muscles - Uncle Jessie (pictured below) went 3 – 6, hit a Hr, knocked in 3 rbi’s and showed some grit by staying in the game with what some speculate may be a bone fracture. He did it for Kimmy Gibler. We’re blessed to have such a star play with us.

3. Chris G- Put up the O and covered nicely for Raw Dawg at SS.

The defense was flawless…No errors in the field. The Cat Stabber Figgs was on the prowl today, Stabbin’ balls left and right, even chipping in with some offense.  Mikey Muscles, a.k.a Cousin Jessie, suffered an injury in the second game, but stayed in like a warrior to finish the game out…even picking up some hits. Sweets and Raw Dawg also contributed with HR’s, and N-Lights was 4-5.

All in all, a nice day at the park…for those who could make it.

Anyway, here are the stats for the day:

Video’s and Full Season stats will be updated during the week!

Sorry for the lack of updates, but we haven’t been playing. First, on June 15th, we only had 8 guys show up. We fought hard, but lost 4-3. The second game featured rain like no other rainstorm i’ve ever experienced. The game was called in the second, with the Spliff down  2 – 1.

As for yesterday, well, this time only 6 people showed up, we forfeited both.

Steals “slides” into 3rd with an RBI triple:

Raw Dawg hits his 1st of 3 HR’s:

Game 1: 10 - 3 Win vs. Bandits

Game 1: 10 - 8 Win vs. Bandits

 The overall record is now 7 – 8. Good to see us moving in the right direction.

Year-to-date stats were updated. Check them out here.

It was Africa hot out there. The temperature soared to 98 degrees, and as hot as it was outside, the bats were even hotter. The Spliff, playing with a short squad of 9 guys for both games, won both games this Sunday against their opponent the Bandits.

The first game was a blow out. The second game was a masterpiece as Trips hit another patented “Get the f-ck outta here blast”. This time it was a big time walk-off homerun with The Spliffs trailing 8 – 7 with two outs in the last inning. Overall, there were a ton of big hits today.  Raw Dawg put on a power display with 3 long balls.  Steals found his groove on the mound and was pitching much better than he had the week prior.

3 Spliff Stars:

1. Trips - With the walkoff 3-run homerun to win the second game.

2. Raw Dawg - For 3 Hr’s, going  4 – 7, and making some slick plays at SS.

3. Steals - For managing to pitch a strong game and score a (banana) boat-load of runs, all the while working on his tan.

Game 1: 10 - 3 Win vs. Bandits

Game 1: 10 - 8 Win vs. Bandits

 The overall record is now 7 – 8. Good to see us moving in the right direction.

Mandatory films for this week:

Let’s go out there and focus on playing small ball. We all want to win. We all put the effort in and hustle. We just have to relax and stay within ourselves. We hit the ball extremely hard this weekend at times, but right into the outfielders gloves. If we focused on hitting nothing but low line drives, we’d be a lot more successful.

But more importantly, does anyone know why Richie did Bobby Lupo?
