Week 1 - RAINOUT/TORNADO WATCH In the meantime, enjoy Clay Aiken's take on the Coleman Oval...

Sadly, Week 1 of the 2012 season brought the Empty Pitchers and the Coleman Oval a rainout/tornado watch.

We'll try again next Saturday with a 10 a.m. match up versus the nefarious Dirt Dogs, who were 0-3 against last season, including our one-and-done playoff run. With your Saturday afternoons now free, I'll leave you with Clay Aiken's take on the Coleman Oval, for those of you who neglected to catch it on Season 12, Episode 13 of "Celebrity Apprentice."

In this clip, Clay attempts to find a suitable filming location for the final task, in which he and Arsenio Hall are charged with creating a 30-second commercial promoting the charities they are playing for. After the initial segment, jump ahead a few minutes to see Clay try (unsuccessfully) to use his celebrity to get onto the turf of the Murry Bergtraum field a block south of the Oval, and then just after the 1-hour mark, to watch him meet with children in the Coleman Oval Hobo Section:

Whatevs, Clay! You diva, you!

Week 3: Pitchers Noodle around the Oval

A week after the driest Coleman Oval Rainout since the Commish's No-Rain Rainout of 2007, the Pitchers were raring to get back into action.

The game plan may have been thwarted by Joe C. and his band of No Shows not showing, but the team was able to regroup, mixing a little batting practice with $1.50 noodles in anticipation of next week's test against Sub & Heroes. Ladies - be sure to watch this team's hitters hitting to the right side.



Next Game: The switch has been been made, we'll play Saturday at 12:30 p.m., NOT Sunday as per the original schedule.
