For the second straight summer season, my adult rec baseball team has won the championship in our division!! The score was 6-3, and he game was played on an old minor league field, Jay Lttleton Field in Ontario, CA. I've mentioned our teams progress in threads throughout the season, some folks seemed to enjoy it, so I thought I'd post the results here on the site.

The game was very tight, we trailed 3-0 going into the bottom of the 7th. The team we played featured a guy who is an acquaintance of our Hammer's. I was 2-4 on the day, and will finish the season with an OPS of just about .900, led the team in walks, second in runs scored out of the lead-off spot. I was instrumental in starting the rally which won the game, getting a hit batting second in the 7th, after the guy who led off got HBP. It was only our 3rd hit of the game, my 2nd...

Anyway, it was a blast, but the celebration after the game at our bar was even more fun!!! Fall season starts in 3 weeks, see you at the ballpark!

After frying up some fish, and trying to watch last night's awesome win, (mlb.com was HORRIBLE for me last night) my friend and I turned on the Dodger game to see if they could knock off the Brewers. We had talked about going to the game, but it seemed like a hassle, and it looked like we would watch from home. However, in the 1st inning, mt friend said, "we could be there by the second inning...", so off we went! I am so glad we did!

A good friend of mine is the field level security mgr for the stadium, and I have a standing invite to attend any game. we got there in the 4th, in time(almost) to see a Dodger hit a homer to left. Not sure who it was, all I could see was a fly ball passing through a slice of sky, and heard the roar of the crowd.

We got seats in behind the plate, and 2 rows back of 4 Brewer fans. They took quite a bit of abuse, while I, on the other hand, got a lotta love for my Cub gear. Prince Fielder was the butt of many jokes, particularly after diving for a bunt. the earth quake comments lasted for at least 2 batters! All in all, it was a BLAST!!! What a great day of baseball! Hope it doesn't happen again any time soon, I don't think I could survive!  GO CUBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

anybody live in the San Gabriel Valley area interested in getting together and watching some Cub's baseball? No one I know gives a crap about the Cubbies, I'd love to watch a game w/ another Cub fan... I know a place in Covina that has the MLB package. It's called the Rude Dog Bar and Grill. It's a cool place, not too expensive. the first round's on me. I don't know protocol for posting email adresses. if anyone is interesyed, please let me know. Tony
