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…………

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!

Thursday July 15…..12:55 a.m……results on Wednesday night were the following…..first half winner TEAM GREFER over TEAM SILVERMAN….TEAM LEFTON, winners of three in a row, over TEAM KIRZNER, losers of eight in a row….TEAM EPPSTEIN, captured their second win, (but still leads in the PINK SHIRT race), over TEAM CRONSTEIN…..and finally, TEAM GUTTMAN, 3-0, over TEAM SCHWARTZ….game recaps will be delivered at a later time upon receipt from the captains….the BLOG editor ROGER “ROGZILLA” ROSENTHAL would like to publically apologize for his use of improper language during his game….frustration sometimes rears its’ ugly head in the form of bad language and it is NOT appropriate because it does offend certain people, both fans and players….on a sidenote…….it was suggested by one player that the league give out GOLDEN GLOVE awards to the best defensive players at each position….how do you feel….the BLOG is in favor of the idea…questions/comments to……r.rosenthal@fuse.net………..

Mark Gordon, Big Gig, and Rick Lefton did not make an error in Sunday’s big win! The pitching was also a enormous edge, with Jumbo holding the opposition to just a baker’s dozen in runs.
Team Lefton has had the best July for wins in years. This has moved them away from “Pink Shirt” territory for good……. Maybe. Anyway, Team Lefton will now put the screws to Team Kirzner. A team with no pitching, defensive holes and slumber on their lumber. Should be a walk over or I buy the chicken wings!
