GAME 32 - Sunday, May 6th - Radio Broadcast
Curveball, breaking to the outside... Lazy ground ball to the right side It'll be a very tough play for Potpie He picks it up, throws to Hunter covering first Not in time as Burkett beats the throw Base hit to right for Keeler Burkett is racing towards third... The throw is going to third... Burkett is safe at third! And Keeler advances to second on the throw Base hit to center for Kelley Burkett scores Dode Criss will send the runner home... The throw is cut off... And that allows the run to score Kelley inches slowly away from the bag Hunter continues to hold the runner close Swung on...and it's in the air to the left side Backing just a bit is Ton And he pulls it in With one down, up next is Honus Wagner To be followed by Jake Beckley Low inside fastball, at the knees... Cut on... Wagner rips a single to right field... Pflaggstettler takes it on one bounce... With his afterburners on, Kelley heads into third ahead of the throw Wagner inches away from the base Big bender... Wagner is off to the races Bullock is up, firing... SAFE... The throw was too late Big slow curve... And it's in there, strike three That's the second out of the inning Swung on and missed... Duffy is down on strikes That's three outs, side retired Long fly to center Duffy has a long run... He's there and hauls it in Tucker is retired on a fairly deep fly That's one away The pitch is just inside and Nights holds up Bresnahan points down at the first base umpire He gives the "safe" sign Jeff trots down to first... ball four Strike three swinging! And a quick peg to first by Bresnahan Nights dives back in... SAFE! The first base ump says Nights made it back And there's two away Bounced past the mound Smooth pickup by Lajoie Over to first In time! Score It: 4-3 That's it for FOFC in the bottom of the 1st Turn of Century still leads by 2 It's Turn of Century with 2, FOFC zip Ripped to third, but right at Palmer...easy out One out Due up next is Amos Rusie Rusie rips one to center He hit it right on the nose... Tucker is off to the races... He is coming fast... He dives... OUT! Nice play by A. J. Tucker Two down Bullock asks for a new ball He calls time and trots out to the mound A conference going on between Bullock and Hunter Curve ball... Burkett swings and misses by a mile The bottom dropped out of that one! A wicked pitch! The Centurions go down in order, 1-2-3 After 1 and a half innings, Turn of Century ahead 2 to 0 Palmer hits one toward short Wagner fronts it... Oops, he bobbles it... Now he has the handle... Long throw to first Got Palmer by three steps! Man, that is one slow truck horse on the base paths! With one gone FOFC will have Billy Bullock coming up A dangerous hitter, no doubt about it Bullock swings and hits a shot to deep left-center Duffy and Burkett are converging on the ball Looks like Duffy has the best shot at it He dives for it... WOW! He's got it! Fantastic play by Duffy Two down Rusie retires two in a row Curveball in the dirt Swung on and missed...Strike three Bresnahan fumbles it, but quickly recovers to tag Ton Rusie disposes of FOFC quickly in the bottom of the 2nd... they go down 1-2-3 After 2 innings, it's 2-0 Turn of Century Change up... Keeler hits a fly ball to right Pflaggstettler is under it... He's got it One up, one down Kelley raps a hard shot... CAUGHT! That ball was lined right at third Palmer just got his glove up in time Great reflexes Two down Owen Hunter retires the first two batters in a row It's a wicked breaking ball Out of the strike zone Lajoie checks his swing Bullock appeals to the first base umpire Take a seat, Nap That wraps up the inning for Turn of Century By the way, Turn of Century is 5 and 5 in their last ten games A low bouncer to Lajoie It bounces off his chest... But he keeps it in front of him Over to first... Blade is out! Shows the importance of good positioning Rusie gets the first out in the inning Breaking ball... It darts down and out as Hunter swings way over it He was fooled completely Bresnahan loses it momentarily, but now finds the handle and tags Owen as he was heading for the dugout Two down Amos Rusie retires the first two batters in order Struck him out on a fastball Tucker goes down swinging So that's it for FOFC They fail to score against Rusie In the bottom of the 3rd for FOFC No runs, no hits and no errors It's a smash over short Nights leaps Just over his outstretched glove Wagner makes a wide turn at first He will hold at first The ball comes in quickly Wagner glares menancingly out at Hunter Wagner is one of the best base stealers in the league Quite an intimidator Slow curve... The speedy Wagner heads for second Up and firing is Bullock... The ball is waiting for Wagner But he hook slides around the tag He's in there with a stolen base! Owen comes in there with a dipsy-do And it freezes Beckley He can't get the bat off his shoulder and just watches it curve over the outside corner... STRIKE THREE! FOFC gets the first out of the inning Stretching out to his lead from second The speedster, Wagner, could score easily on a hit to the outfield Hunter spins and fakes a throw to second Wagner dives back into the bag Flyball to right it's caught Wagner might have a chance to move up... Pflaggstettler makes the catch... Wagner is tagging up at second... He makes it to third easily Drilled on the ground to the mound Taken by Hunter His throw to first GOT HIM! Score It: 1-3 That's all for Turn of Century After 3 and a half innings in FOFC this afternoon, Turn of Century on top 2 to 0 Change-up, Nights is looking for it... He smacks a deep fly to left-center... Duffy is at the warning track... Waits... Off the fence! It's a double for Jeff Nights Pounded on the ground to third Kelley grabs it Over to Beckley Got him! Score It: 5-3 One away in the bottom of the 4th Groundball down the line That's into the outfield for extra bases! Potpie coasts into second He's got a double Nights scores from second! Grounded towards the bag Kelley comes up with it Over to first In time! Score It: 5-3 That's two away That one is a grass cutter towards short Wagner fronts it... OOPS! It takes a big hop! Honus manages to come up with it on the heel of his glove Rolls the ball into his free hand On to first It is off target... Beckley one hops it into his glove Out! Beckley can't get out of the way and Billy runs right into him Nice play as that ball was thrown on the rightfield side of the bag Lucky the collision didn't hurt anyone That retires the side The All Stars score 1 run in the inning After 4 innings, Turn of Century on top 2 to 1 There's a ground ball into the hole Palmer and Nights converge on it It's picked by Nights who fires to first OUT is the call Close play!! So one up and one gone There's a shot off the bat of Jesse Burkett But it's right at Blade who makes the catch of the line drive Burkett throws his bat into the dirt in disgust That's two away Nights comes over from his shortstop position to say a few words to Hunter Wee Willie Keeler will be next up... Slider pounded into the ground towards first It's by the diving Potpie... Blade chasing it down... There will be no play It's a base hit Keeler studies Hunter intently... Now he's walking away from the base Hunter's move keeps Keeler guessing He doesn't have a very good lead There's a shot off the bat of Joe Kelley But it's right at Nights who makes the catch Kelley throws his bat in disgust That does it for Turn of Century in the top of the 5th Big bender... Swung on... Ton pops it straight up Three players converging on it And it will be Wagner making the play One away... Beckley is coming over to the mound... He wants to chat with the pitcher... Here comes Kelley also... Now they return to their positions Blade fights one off his fists It's lined weakly to the left of third Kelley is over quickly Easy out One more chance for FOFC this inning Hunter swings and misses STRIKE THREE! Rusie strikes out Owen Hunter That's all for the All Stars After 5 innings in FOFC this afternoon, Turn of Century ahead 2 to 1 Fastball... Lajoie jumps all over it... It's juiced to deep center There goes Tucker after it Racing hard... He dives... And he's got it!!! Beautiful play by A. J. Tucker! One down for Turn of Century Honus Wagner is still in the on-deck circle and Jake Beckley is looking for a bat in the dugout STRIKE THREE, CALLED! Two up, two down for Turn of Century Good slider, inside part of the plate Beckley gets the bat on it... Slams a sharp grounder to the right side Blade grabs it... Throws to first... OUT! Hunter sets the Centurions down in order Curveball, inside corner, low... Swung on... And lined to left for a base hit No chance to get that one The All Stars try the hit and run! Rusie's fastball is ripped toward short Wagner can't get to it! It is into the outfield... Tucker was off and running with the crack of the bat He is on his way to third... They'll have a chance to get him... Here's the throw... SAFE! A nice shot by Nights and a nice piece of baserunning as well So there are runners on the corners for Persimmon Pflaggstettler Turn of Century had to cover for the steal attempt But... Nights was able to place one "where they weren't"! He misses outside Ball four Potpie reaches out and pokes it on the ground to right Base hit for Potpie The game is tied!

FOFC - Manager Update
I'm starting to get back into my normal routine following the long trip to Japan. I'm a horrible traveller and the jet lag or whatever it is has finally gone away. I'm up early and looking for my paper. After a couple of existing games that were extremely positive, to the point I decided to watch the highlights rather than read about it - I'm now looking for the paper to see what the other teams in the league did last night... |

Tucker had a big jump Steal 11 in 12 attempts now for Tucker Looks like they want nothing to do with Pflaggstettler Persimmon is dangerous in situations like this...

That one sailed up out of the strike zone but Fouts couldn't hold back That's the second out of the inning While we wait for Sean Treacy to get a new bat Let's point out that FOFC is 7 and 3 in their last ten games IT HITS Treacy! Now Treacy gets up and brushes himself off He's not thrilled with being drilled! The ump tells Treacy to take his base Knee high blazing fastball... Terp takes a wicked cut at it... Rips a hard single into right... Hays' coming around to score... Burkett's throw to third Won't be in time Treacy slides in safely Base hit to right for Tucker Treacy scores Third base coach Dick Howser thinks he can make it... Here comes Terp... The throw is cut off... That holds Tucker at first The Whiff! Swung on the HIGH CHEESE!

Pop fly...Shallow right... Dropping quickly... Pflaggstettler pulls up, doesn't want it to get by him Base hit for Burkett... As Pflaggstettler fields it on one bounce Hit to third... and right at Fouts He juggled that ball a bit, but held on Lajoie is out With one down, up next is Honus Wagner To be followed by Jake Beckley Swung on...and it's in the air to the left side Backing just a bit is Gunner And he pulls it in Two gone for Turn of Century Grounded towards the bag Potpie trots to the bag Score It: 3 And that will do it for Turn of Century FOFC wins 11 to 5 Williams gets credit for the win Joss takes the loss The hitting star for FOFC was Persimmon Pflaggstettler He was 3 for 4 He also knocked in 3 runs And that wraps things up So long from FOFC.

FOFC Manager Update
"Where is the paper," I ask after looking around for it for what I thought was long enough? "It's on the floor in the den," my wife answers exasperatedly. "You couldn't find your head if it wasn't attached." I ignore her comment, but also realize she's probably right. Still frustrated by the biting remark and my lack of focus in looking I ask, "Why is it on the floor in the den?" "Because your 5 year old son has started reading the comics." I want to complain, but Brett's reading is a good thing so I bite my tongue and start reading... |

FOFC Manager Update
It's been a great start to the season. Alot better than I had hoped in my wildest dreams. I mean for crying out loud - we are 27 and 7. However, our team got, what I think was their first taste of the truly dominating pitchers in this league. I was incredibly impressed by Matty last night. I'd seen him work his stuff in the past, but he was almost unhittable last night. In fact, Babson, who had a bad first inning settled down and pitched extremely well after that, but Matty's stuff was so good you forget how good Babson pitched from the 2nd through the 5th. I think the team was getting a little big for their britches. Maybe this game will sober them some. Hopefully so. We have quite a few road games still left on the schedule and those wins will be much tougher to come by. Let's see what the paper says about last nights game...

There's a shot off the bat of Sean Treacy But it's right at Dihigo who makes the catch of the line drive Treacy throws his bat into the dirt in disgust One away While we wait for the next batter Let's take a ten second station break This is your Strat-O-Matic Broadcast System Your four sports network! Nielsen hits it sharply on the ground... into the hole at short Lloyd dives for it... He's up with it... a strong throw to first... GOT HIM!!! A sparkling play by the short stop, Pop Lloyd!

He heads to first Charleston extends his lead towards second Charleston is unable to take the lead he wants Nielsen's fastball is ripped toward first Potpie can't get to it! It is into the outfield... Charleston was off and running with the crack of the bat He is on his way to third... They'll have a chance to get him... Here's the throw... SAFE!

A few steps to his right... One hands it for the out Bell looked bad on that pitch Two down, Ones at bat in the 9th inning... Negro League I trails the All Stars by 1 The Ones are down to their final out Turkey Stearnes is due up Hays takes a trip out to the mound He wants to discuss something with Knowles Now Hays trots back Stearnes is gone on strikes Left with the bat still in the cocked position And that will do it for Negro League I FOFC wins 2 to 1 Nielsen gets credit for the win Knowles notches the save Paige takes the loss The hitting star for FOFC was Dan Fouts He was 1 for 3 with a homerun And that wraps things up So long from FOFC. |

FOFC Manager Update
Boy have we run into some good pitching lately. Again last night it was a pitchers dual with Mighty ending up on the short end of the stick. Hopefully the offense will get on track. I say, "Let's see if anybody got any closer to us with last nights loss." My wife who was reading a book, looks up and says, "Great now you're talking to yourself." |

Whoops... a bad bounce But Blade stayed with it Over to first and Kawakami is retired Nice play by the FOFC second baseman Two up, two down for Japanese League Fastball, STRIKE THREE! Kinugasa was frozen on that fastball by Kronside High and on the outside corner He was looking for an off-speed pitch Three down for Japanese League Still a 1 run deficit for FOFC Let me point out that coming in to today's game Japanese League is 3 and 11 in one run games FOFC has a 13 and 3 record in these tight contests Palmer swings... Hard groundball, left of third It's by Kinugasa and skips out to Wakamatsu Palmer rounds first The left fielder is after it.. cuts it off and fires it in quickly to second Palmer returns to first as Tsutomu gets a nice throw in to Kawakami Base hit to center for Bullock Third base coach Dick Howser doesn't want to gamble Nothing ventured, nothing gained...

Not cut-off... Yutaka Fukumoto throws the ball away for an error! Double for Ton Blade takes the pitch... That one is low for a ball... WAIT The umpire says that one caught the knees Blade is out on strikes Sawamura gets the first out in the inning Fastball... down and away... NO! It's called a strike And Kronside is outta there It's a high fly into left Wakamatsu ranges to his right Reaches up, and takes it for the easy out That's it in the bottom of the 8th 3 runs, 3 hits and one error After 8 innings in FOFC, FOFC on top 4 to 2 A high fastball... Matsubara swings late... He hits a routine pop just left of Nights Jeff is under it... And takes it in for the easy out Matsubara was looking for the breaking ball Japanese League with one away Kronside steps off the mound as he waits for Eiji Sawamura to come to the plate Curveball in the dirt Swung on and missed...Strike three Bullock fumbles it, but quickly recovers to tag Yazawa Two down, HOF Players at bat in the 9th inning... Japanese League trails the All Stars by 2 The HOF Players are down to their final out Yutaka Fukumoto is due up Bullock takes a trip out to the mound He wants to discuss something with Kronside Now Bullock trots back Nubber to the mound Kronside grabs it He throws wild! Score It: Single + E1 Fukumoto to second Swung on and missed... Ochiai is down on strikes And that will do it for Japanese League FOFC wins 4 to 2 Kronside gets credit for the win Knowles notches the save Bessho takes the loss The hitting star for FOFC was K. A. Ton He was 2 for 3 with a homerun He also knocked in 3 runs And that wraps things up So long from FOFC. Last edited by Breeze : 12-09-2005 at 09:38 PM. |

FOFC Dynasty Update
Guys, I've fallen behind. Christmas parties, sick kids, and plain being worn out have conspired to put me behind. I'll try to catch up soon. I appologize for the delays. |
