'08 Playoffs Roundup: The Story
The bad news is that the Empty Pitchers will have to wait until next year to have a chance at wearing the league crown, after being blanked by the K.V. Kings, 7-0, last weekend.
It was a rough start for David, who elected to stay in his "Halloween Hangover"/"David Wells" costume for the duration of the softball contest, taking his first loss on the season in the process. Not that he was alone, with his Pitchers teammates offering up a few timely errors and a dormant offense, a combination that was no match for theLatin cowbell-clanging Kings. The lone bright spot in the game came courtesy of Rachel, aka "Mrs. November," who went 3-for-3 and provided a calming presence behind the plate.
A week earlier, the Pitchers found a way to a better outcome, taking their second-round playoff game against the Hurricanes, 5-4. (As the No. 1 seed in the league, the Pitchers had a bye in the first round). Greg went 3-for-4, and Damian and Felix both had a pair of hits in the win, though, as previously mentioned, Kristine got the MVP award by showing up to the field in time for a 12:07 p.m. start.
The Pitchers didn't push a run across the plate until the fourth, when David and Alicia both got on board and were moved around the pond by singles from Alex, Abbey and Felix. Later, with both teams tied at 2 heading into the seventh, the Pitchers were able to scrap for another three runs, thanks to timely hits by Damian, Greg and Alicia. The Pitchers would need all of that cushion to hold off the hard-hitting Hurricanes in the home half of the inning.
Even in the midst of the playoff bounce, the Pitchers might still have another way to grasp a brass ring for the fall 2008 season -- with a record of 8-2 in non-playoff action, the team still has a shot at winning the regular season crown should they take both games next weekend from that same Hurricanes team.
Playoff hopes last seen alive. 11.01.2008. 9:54 a.m.
Next game: It's the season-ending doubleheader, Saturday, Nov. 8 at 2:30 p.m. against the Hurricanes. Plan on taking another team picture, and taking a trip to Jeremy's Ale House for season-ending Styrofoam Beers. CANCELED due to mathematical elimination from pennant race.

Getting Back into the Groove
With only a couple of rained-out regular season games left to go, the Empty Pitchers are holding on to a tie for first place with the NY Dirt Dogs, whom they split a doubleheader against in the first weekend of the regular season:
1. Empty Pitchers (8-2)
2. NY Dirt Dogs (8-2)
3. Ruben’s Angels (7-1)
4. Hot Cousins (7-5)
5. Phantoms (6-2)
6. K.V. Kings (6-4)
7. Averages (6-4)
8. Remainders (6-4)
9. Hurricanes (3-7)
10. Sub & Heroes (3-9)
11. Jeff's Team (Gave up)
12. Honey Nut Ichiros (DOA)
The Pitchers will have a better idea of exactly where they stand after Nov. 2, when a slate of rained-out Saturday games from earlier in the season are played, and Ruben's Angels -- the league's perennial front runner -- gets a chance to catch up.
The weekend of October 18, the Pitchers split two against the Avengers. The early game was a brutal one, with the Pitchers falling behind early and often, eventually losing 17-9 (and that with having scored a face-saving four runs in the home half of the seventh). The game wasn't without some positives though, Nicole boosted her average in a big way, going 3-for-4, and scoring two runs. Greg, Alex, Alicia, Matt and Damian also had multiple hit games, and Alicia posted 3 RBIs on the day. David even threw pitching nemesis Raul a run-support bone, going 2-for-2 with a double and two RBIs.
In the second game, a 6-3 Pitchers win, the hits were fewer and further in between for both teams. With the score scoreless heading into the top of the third, Alex was able to get things going with a double, eventually crossing the plate on a single by Alicia. The Pitchers tacked on another run in the fifth, with a triple from Greg, and an RBI single courtesy of Kristine. The Pitchers were able to give themselves a four-run cushion in the sixth inning to seal the win. Undefeated Pitchers pitcher David again led the way, helping him help himself, and posting a perfect 3-for-3 at the plate in the lead-off slot.
