Sunday, October 7th, 2040: Keith Tags Rebels for 6 Hits
"It was like I was hitting little league pitching," said Mike Keith after his 6-hit performance against the Rebels. "No offense meant to Chico, but it was like I was back in little league again. I could see the ball that well. But this wasn't a kid league park, it was Ballpark of Colorado."

The Colorado left fielder had a fantastic day at the plate, knocking out 6 hits in 6 at-bats and pacing his club to a 7-6 victory.

His manager elaborated after the game to the press, saying, "Mike worked the entire offseason on trying to shorten his swing and stay inside the ball and the hard work is paying off in base hits."

"That's what I'm trying to do," Keith said. "Be quick to the ball and let it travel a little farther so I get a better look at it."

M. Keith hit an RBI single in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off D. Palethorpe in the 2nd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th, doubled in the 9th and hit a solo-shot off W. MacGregor in the 11th.

For 2040 Keith is batting .296 with 23 home runs, 123 RBIs and 97 runs scored.

[Chief Rum]

Man, where is everyone? This is the tightest two playoff races in, what, ever maybe?

Tuesday, October 9th, 2040: Garza Swings for the Cycle
Despite his best efforts, Pepillo Garza and Ann Arbor came out on the short end of the score today, dropping the game to Hartford 6-4. The 23-year-old right fielder piled up 4 hits in 5 at-bats and hit for the cycle, but still failed to top the Harpooners.

Yeah, I hear ya. You see my post above. Definitely not funny. Some will say, damn, Chief, 4 3rd place finishes in 6 seasons, and 2nd in a 5th? Pretty good.

I say hogwash. It sucks getting so close and always ending outside of the dance.
