Dead Money Splits for the Fall Season

After many seasons of successful and unsuccessful play in various leagues and arenas, Dead Money will split into two separate teams for the fall season.  Both Teams will play in Minnetonka, but one will remain in the Tuesday night league and the other on Thursday nights.  This allows new talent to surface as there are numerous prospects in the farm system dying to make it to the Bigs.  Not sure how this will pan out, but it will be a great way to let everyone get a chance to play and show thier skills (or lack there of).  Stay tuned to see if this will help or hinder Dead Money's ability to stay competitive.

Dead Money Loses 0-7....But Then Wins, and Wins, and Wins Again!

Yup, that's right, Dead Money wins the Championship the hard way.  We couldn't put any hits together following numerous walks, to score any runs in the first game.  Any decent hits seemed to be hit directly at a Doublewide player.  Huge disappointment.

The second game was against The Wild Turkeys who beat Ballz Deep to squeeze themselves into a guaranteed 3rd place finish for the summer season.  This was a very relaxed game for us, didn't need to pull out anything fantastic, just played our game for the win.

The second game against Doublewide started out much the same as the first...except with runners scoring.  Also for the first time this season we were able to track down the intricacies of the Doublewide offense.  Our defense seemed too much for them to handle and we came away with out first victory of the year against the #1 seed.  At one point we were within 1 run of a 10 run rule limit but they were able to battle back with some solid base hits and a few Texas leaguers. 

The Championship game left Doublewide defending themselves with only 9 players.  With their defense completely exposed we picked them apart inning after inning finally finishing the game off in the 6th inning after using the 10 run rule.  Doublewide is definitely a good team, but after last nights games, I think that they will be the ones struggling in the future.  I think that their anonymity worked in their favor this year.  We've got them all but completely locked down.  The most impressive thing all night was to watch their center fielder run all over the place making catches and strong throws.  Taking away their fifth infielder in the last game showed how bad they need that player in the infield.  Not much range there. 

Congrats Dead Money and the rest of the teams in the league for a fine season played.  I will leave Team Alliance out of that congrats, because they are....... Never mind, too mean.
