Playoff Picture

Let's get it out of the way now, the Cougars got slaughtered by Chicken Shack last night.  


In a rough game, there were a a few highlights (including Charley's photos below and Julie's postgame spread).

First, last night marked the season debut of Lipinski and Trout.





Dave played his first game in over a year and it was Glenn's first game in two years.  Each went 2-2 at the plate and now batting 1.000.

Trouter also Glenn had a acrobatic catch in the outfield (Video 37:40).  Hard to see but you can hear the cheer!

Melchiorre pitched a fantastic game and we could have played better defense behind him (I'm guilty - my hand is raised high).  Diamond Dave had a perfect pickoff to Li'l Rads at first base that ended a potential big inning (Video 6:59).  The second week in a row with a close play and this one went our way.

JD had two hits with a run scored.  Strong Coffey had two hits and an RBI.  

So...we lost the game...but we made the playoffs for the tenth straight year (hint - everyone makes the playoffs).

Going back quickly through the archives, scroll down for the playoff seedings over the last ten years.  

In every year but one, we have been seeded sixth or below, including our 2011 championship season.

This year is no different, we are the seven seed and have our first playoff game against Gulliver's next week.  We have beat them twice already this year.  Will we beat them a third time?    

With a victory, we face Chicken Shack for the third consecutive week.  Will we stop their two game winning streak this season?

To get our mojo restarted, we will be rolling out our new sponsor next week.

Julie joined Glenn and Dave as all stars last night with pulled bbq chicken sandwiches with homemade bbq sauce.  The sweet night ended with warm berry crisp and ice cream.
