Dead Money Wins!

Dead Money's first championship is a marvelous one. We had a 10 run second inning that for all intensive purposes sealed the game for us. The game was certainly less dramatic than expected. Ballz Deep was completely taken out of their game by flawless defence. And by flawless I mean spectacular. There were diving catches, double plays and smart ball control. Dead Money has certainly played as a stand alone first place team should...perfectly! So the final score was 17-7, yet another 10 run game in 5 innings.

Ballz Deep was without a doubt the second best team in the league. They were definitely seen as the best competitors, the one team that had a chance to beat us. They certainly have the bats and the speed, but seem to be lacking the defensive prowess that it takes to win a championship. I would also like to note that they were very good sports, which was much appreciated when compared with some of the other teams that we have played lately. No talking about how good they are before the game and not a single bit of trash talking during or after the game. Thank you Ballz Deep for good, clean, friendly competition.

On another note, it turns out that I was wrong about the Wild Turkeys. They did not go running away from the Tuesday night league. My mistake, and I apologize sincerely. What actually happened is that they were sent on a highly classified mission by an undisclosed higher power to really make something out of the Thursday night league. A good choice for the "higher power" to choose the team that only won one game in the playoffs against the worst team in the league. Way to go Wild Turkeys! You really showed us all what you are capable of. As far as your clandestine mission to the Thursday night league, our thoughts and prayers will be with you. Godspeed Wild Turkeys, Godspeed!
