Sox Rock A's
Win
"Tainted" by All-Star Balloting Questions
In the team's best
performance since Easter, the Black Sox cruised
to a 9-3 victory over the SD A's.
Highlights
- Pitching
- Chad pitched 4 strong innings
and, FINALLY, got a decent defensive performance
on his behalf. Lance pitched
5 strong innings in relief, suffering only on
a bases loaded error (of his own making). Overall,
it was probably our best pitching performance
of the season with 6 strikeouts vs. only 2 walks
and just one earned run on the afternoon.
- Hitting
- We had 17 hits and only 3 strikeouts. And
one of those strikeouts (Steve) was clearly
a protest at being slighted for the all-star
team for a second straight year. Individual
highlights:
- Nestor
reached base 3/5 with two hits
(double) and scored twice.
- Dan
4/4 with a double.
- Bob
reached base 3/4 on 2/3 hitting with a walk.
- Mo
2/4 (double).
- Jonathan
2/4*.
- Lance
hit
safely in his only at-bat.
Lowlights
- Are you kidding?
It was our second win since Easter. Who's complaining?
Looking
Forward
Next
week's game is at 2 pm at Eastlake HS. Afterwards,
let's BBQ at my house (2 blocks away). Win, lose,
or tie, let's celebrate the season after the game.
Your families are invited.
All-Star
Voting Allegations
Some allegations
about all-star "voting irregularities"
surfaced after the game. Much like the Dept. of
Homeland Security, this ballclub takes all such
accusations very seriously.
Final Voting Results:
- Jim McGaha (6)
- Dan Darrin (5)
- Steve Pietruza (3) - Alternate
Granted,
I opened the door to speculation with some admittedly
"uneven" emails over the weekend. My
med.'s are under control now and it won't happen
again. In answer to the "Monday Morning Quarterbacks"
who allege that no-one voted for me, let me say
that two members of the team came forward and
told me they had my vote: Jim McGaha
and Steve. I don't really know
how any of the rest of you voted but all ballots
will be made available for public inspection next
week. No "hanging chads" in this election...

Note: If only Jonathan's second "hit"
were held to this level of public scrutiny...
