Thursday July 15….11:25 a.m….only one game report in at press time and that’s from STEVE “DONUT” EPPSTEIN as TEAM EPPSTEIN won only their second game of the season with a 10-7 victory over the fast fading TEAM CRONSTEIN…..hitting stars were ROOKIE OF THE YEAR candidate EVAN PIERSON who hit a three run homerun and was walked intentionally twice (he must lead the league in that category)….just call him Mr. Bonds…..other offensive contibutors came from SCOTT WOLF, DUFFY WOLF, TYLER WOLF, DOUG SANDOR and GLENN BOCHNER, who was returning from the DL….defensively the entire team played well including a nice catch by the aging SCOTT WOLF, who can still get them in the OF…..as for TEAM CRONSTEIN….the hitting woes continued with the exception of veteran DAN CRONSTEIN, who went 4 for 4….rumor has it that rookie captain ADAM CRONSTEIN’S patience is running thin and was talking afterwards about going to a voodoo doctor for help to get his offense in gear……stay tuned…..TIDBITS…..a HAPPY BIRTHDAY goes out to ADAM CRONSTEIN today….how old he is and how old he feels are two different numbers after another loss…..questions/comments to r.rosenthal@fuse.net…………
CFL Reporting – Team Lefton Spreads Their Wings!
Team Lefton was in a word, Awesome! 7 orders of chicken wings! Every one crossed the plate. Weez had a couple of doubles, Dee Harris has 11 straight singles. When the chips were downed the bottom of the line-up came through and ordered some more!
Now on to the game. Team Lefton must love the heat, because they have won every game when the temperature at game time is above 90. It was a 10 run affair, a brutal unforgiving punishment to Team Kirzner. Why? In a word,PITCHING! It was sad to see. The many time All-Star Mark Weisser, just looked overwhelmed. The team provided outstanding defense at each position, for pitcher Weisser, too. Dee Harris of Team Lefton found the holes in the defense with 4 straight hits! He now has 11 straight hits in the last 2 games. Jumbo Lefton was super, he walked only one and struck out 6 with is new slider! Team Lefton now takes on the fading Team Gritty Grefer. Should be another slaughter! Stay tuned!

ROGER’S HOT CORNER…………
Monday July 12…..10:14 a.m….No records reported on the whipping TEAM LEFTON gave to TEAM SILVERMAN, but one would figure a 33-12 score would yield a few…..to his credit captain RYAN SILVERMAN reported in after his team got clobbered (possibly a first for a losing captain to report in)….he gave credit where credit was due and just said, “they flat out took us to the woodshed and beat the crap out of us.”….hitting stars were aplenty (as one would imagine) as DEE HARRIS, TEDDY “BALLGAME” KANTOR, MARK “GORDY” GORDON and RICK SILVERMAN led the way…..SILVERMAN also added, “TEAM LEFTON has underachieved all year and they’re showing signs of life.”, this after beating two of the top teams in SILVERMAN and SCHWARTZ in back to back games….as for his team, RUSSELL WHITE and MARK LEVINE had key hits when the game was still close and DAVID “PETE ROSE” SNYDER is now two for two batting from the left side of the plate…..reports from the other three games hadn’t been reported as of press time……comments/questions…… r.rosenthal@fuse.net…….
