The Sheriff is back in town boys...

Game 7 Win 8-7 or "Mike Bagshaw is a bad bad man"

The Ringers took the field against the Master Batters this past Friday. Coming off the first loss of the season, the Boys of Summer looked to get back in the W column. I will try to sum up everything as it has been a few days....

The Master Batters threw a tough pitcher out there. Everything was falling short of the plate but it looked like a bach ball coming in, had us off balance all night. Big hits by Josh, McGrath, and MBags got us up early. MBags was the MVP of the game with some stellar D and some big hits all night. Our defense kept us in the from the start. Sweet played a great second base and Boonton, Crupi, DSull, and McGrath played an excellent OF. Ball was tough to see for most of the night and it led to some funny catches but we played solid.

We hit the ball hard all night (except for the multiple groundouts to the pitcher) but they always seemed to be exactly where we hit them.

I cruised a long for most of the night but got into a little jam in the 5th, walked 2 guys to load the bases but got out of the jam with some great plays by MBags and Sweet. We held our 1 run lead as I ended the game with the strangest catch of my career...

Ringers are 6-1 heading into the dog days of summer.

Game 6 Loss 19-15 or "The stunt doubles game"

First loss of the season at the hands of the Wet Bandits

The Gospel according to TC

TC 25:17

The path of the monty’s ringers is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men.
Blessed is he who in the name of Miken Freak and a sweet as swing shepherds the ball through the sky of darkness and over the outfielders head, for he is truly a devastating hitter and the reason for lost softballs. And he will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to beat his ringers. And you will know his name is Jay when he lays his freak upon thee.

Daily Boggs scoresheet

Game 5 Win 13-2 aka "The kids are on top"

The Medford 10 had a date with the undefeated Daily Boggs' on a beautiful night in South Medford. The Local 10 were without some key players, D Sull, All Star Catcher Shaun Connors, and some guy they call the vacuum who is surrounded by tables and transdudes in the City of Sin.


A bit of a jumbled lineup as MBags slides over from 3B to SS, TC takes the hot corner, OF of DC, McGrath, Bagger, and the return of Boonton to the lineup. Crupi took the spot behind the dish. Like a waiter serving the finest rib-eye, Crupi hinges at the hip and gets ready for the kid to deal. He will always be the ultimate distraction for batter, hitter, and umpire. I will send over a chiropractor name for you today Crup, if you catch anymore games you will need him...


Two things that needed to happen for us to win the game, solid defense from the people in new positions and I couldn't pitch anything flat to them, everything had to be raining...and the kid made it rain...


We opened up quiet for the first time all year but the bats heated up in the second inning. Huge games from MBags, TC, and McGrath (who may just be hitting 1.000 from the 10 hole) really fueled the early lead, going from 6-0 to 10-0 in just 3 innings. Defense and pitching was the recipe to put the Boggs out of the game early. Huge plays by TC in the first inning and MBags and Sweet playing great D all night long really won the game for us. MBags had a 1-2-3 inning just by himself with 2 popups and a liner. (I can picture the vacuum biting his nails and putting a hex on MBags for the next game). Steady OF play by Boonton and McGrath was huge. I think we really only had one miscue, Ol Wickets himself out there let a ball go through his legs, great backup by McGrath to keep the runner honest.




The kid extended his scoreless inning streak to 10 innings before the Boggs plated 2 in the 5th. They were never really able to piece together a big inning and they stayed silent (literally) for most of the game.

The Ringers keep piling on the runs and don't have any signs of letting up. Ball Fielder is on the hill Thursday vs the Master Batters. Looks to be around 100 degrees which will feel refreshing. DO NOT LET UP! THIS TEAM IS BUILT TO WIN! WHERE'S NOYES?
