Stickers anyone??

It was the best of times, It was the worst of times.
It was an age of wisdom, It was an age of foolishness.
Who knew Charles Dickens was writing about the hottest
softball team of 2002 back in the 1700's... What a
vision my man had..... We used to make foolish plays,
now we are making the smart ones. We used to not look
forward to the games because we knew they would only
make us more angry, now it the best part of our
week(atleast for me)... A TALE OF TWO SEASONS..... Now
that the regular season is over, bring on the THIRD
season.
7-5..... I am sorry, let me repeat for that. WE
FINISHED THE SEASON 7-5..... What a game last night.
It showed me a few things. First, we are rock stars at
brother jimmys. To have a scorpion bowl with those 3
waitresses sucking on the straws is insparation enough
for us to win every game... wish we had a picture of
that. actually, there are a lot of pictures i wish I
had from these nights..HAHA. Second, that we play as a
true team. When some people don't make their plays,
others will back them up and when some of the people
that have been carrying us with their bats have an off
night, new hero's will be formed. It is a true team
game and we have a solid TEAM playing it. It is
reassuring to know that and takes pressure off
everyone of us. Excellent job team.. Third, someone is
a tough score keeper...... ERROR'S..... when we are on
offense, what is an error???? I always thought they
were hits....
There were some highlights, web-gems, plays of the
week in last nights battle. Is there anything prettier
than a double play?? Being in the infield I am a
little biased but, what a play. No outs and runners on
1st and 2nd, Buji pitched his sinker ball to induce a
grounder to 2nd. Great throw from craig and the catch
from Nucci. Got out of the inning with no runs..
EXCELLENT.....
Once again, Buji pitched excellent. Although
committing a cardinal sin of walking in a run (it is
humbling), he has an awesome 5 game win streak and
pitches with complete confidence..... With his play
the past couple of weeks, he has also moved up as the
leading candidate for the gold glove at pitcher...
great job...
Craig Collins... arrogant? sure.... flair for the
dramatics? yes.... clutch? definately... Came up big
for us once again last night. hitting a strong 2 run
homer which was the go-ahead run, and making great
plays in the out field. Great game all around for the
man coming off the IR. Also had his first Brother
Jimmys experience...  He was de-flowered by MYA.... 
oh my mya....
RBI's.... Macchone had 2, Collins had 2, I had 2 and
Craig had 1. Good Job....
OK.... So the regular season is done and we are moving
into unchartered water for Shattered Dreams... Last
nights game was competitive and challenging. It was a
great test for us to see how good we are. Once again
we were down and never stopped believing we were going
to win. Great playing... I am going to try to set up a
scrimmage becuase the playoffs start the week of the
26th. I want to keep this momentum going. We will have
a practice of some sought if I can't get a scrimmage.
Also, Will and i are working on the year end stats...
should be ready by monday....
SHATTERED DREAMS....
Is the banter getting boring.... There hasn't been
that much chatter or comments... What a victory last
night....
