Buffets…..though Fox usually eats pretty sensibly a.k.a. salads…….Weather is expected to be there………duh!!!!!……warm and partly cloudy…….other news…….What idiots the Washington Wizards are for “badmouthing” King James before their playoff series………Cyclones vs. Reading Royals (No not Reading, Ohio) in the next round…look for the Cincinnati icemen to take care of business in no more than five games…….Will Chad be shipped out of town?…….hopefully and don’t let the door hit your big ass on the way out……….finally, thanks go out to BIG Todd for his encouraging words to me after a horrifice softball week……Happy Softballing!!!!!!!!! comments/questions/rumors can be sent to r.rosenthal@fuse.net

Team Glassman vs. Team Eppy
A solid all-around team effort lead to Team Glassman’s 11-8 victory over Team Eppstein. A tight affair for most of the evening until Team Glassman scored 4 in the 6th and 1 in the 7th to forge an 11 -5 lead only to see Eppstein make a valiant attempt at a comeback in the bottom of the 7th scoring 3 runs with 2 outs and then loading the bases putting the potential winning run at home plate. A wicked line drive up the middle snared by Gig ended the game. Brandon Guttman, Dan Glassman, and Gig Franklin lead the way in hitting each going 3 for 4 with rookie Ricky John John Evers a solid 2 for 3 in his debut
Team Gordy vs. Team Schwartz
After a sluggish start and Gordon down 6-3 in Schwartz’s team batting in the top of the third rookie Gary Katz’s steady game defense and rookie outfielderJason George’s momentum changing diving double play catch took the Gordon team into a 4th inning hitting barrage of 9 runs. They then held on defensively and scorred 4 more in the bottom of the 4th for a 16-6 victory. Game ball presented by the team to these two rookies.
