War of Wildlife-Surprising Night

Well, last night was full of surprises.  The Turkeys and The Dirty Grizzlies went head to head last night.  For those of us that were there early, we got to watch an exciting game.  I predicted yesterday that The Dirty Grizzlies would have no problem extinguishing the Turkeys.  And, maybe the Grizzlies had the same mindset, a mindset that eventually led to a loss by the Griz.  It may have not been all mindset issues though.  The Turkeys strung together base hit after base hit, inning after inning.  It seemed like 3 innings in a row they led off with the bases loaded.  Could be the Turkeys have finally found their footing for the season.  If that is true, it couldn't be at a better time, as we are only 2 weeks from play-offs.  The Grizzlies loss put Dead Money into 2nd place in the regular season with only the Extreme to play next week.

Our game ended up being way to close for comfort.  We had a 6 run lead going into the bottom of the 7th, which we were all too comfortable with.  Alliance managed for the first time in the game to get some extra base hits into the gaps and tie the game up by the time the inning was over.  The inning should have been over much earlier, but there was a mind-numbing play during a rundown play that allowed a run and left the other two base runners on base without getting an out.  This is the kind of play that we see from other teams.  Not from the #1 defense in the league.  But, in Dead Money fashion, we batted around in the top of the 8th, scoring 6 runs and shut Alliance down with a 1-2-3 bottom of the 8th.  I am still not a big fan of Team Alliance.  The pitcher never stops running his mouth, and the rest of the team can't manage to shut theirs either.  They seem to be angry people.  Not at all happy with the life they have chosen.  Maybe they should sit down and listen to a book on tape or something.  Maybe a little less torturing small animals.  Just a suggestion.
