(A Couple of Months Later) Closure

Just when you thought Coach Korndog had ceased finding ways to squander her time, I've decided to put a final end cap on the Empty Pitchers' inaugural season.

Wins proved elusive after the Pitchers ran the table in their first seven contests, but the team finished with a respectable 7-5 record, good for a middle-of-the-pack finish in the 10-team league:

     1 - Ruben's Angels (14-0)
     2 - Phantoms (9-5)
     3 - The Honey Nut Ichiros (8-6)
     4 - NY Dirt Dogs (7-4)
     5 - Empty Pitchers (7-5)
     6 - Sub & Heroes (6-7)
     7 - Hot Cousins (5-6)
     8 - OMD (4-7)
     9 - Arup Green (2-10)
   10 - Remainders (2-11)

The Pitchers can take some pride in at least having given the Angels juggernaut a challenge in Week 6 -- the undefeated team also won the Fall 2007 Championship crown in the single-elimination playoffs.

Congrats to Matt for winning the Pitchers batting title with a .692 average (9-for-16), and to Greg for leading the team in doubles (3, along with Jon), triples (2) and Manly Man Over-the-Fence Outs (3, along with Pat). Greg and David tied for total hits on the season, with 14 each.

Here's to everyone enjoying the off-season. Rest assured that an autumnal return to the Coleman Oval is but seven short months away...
