Latest From Leo - 8/23

Well boys, the O's got us again!  We just can't seem to string enough hits when we need them and we kill ourselves with errors and beat ourselves.

The Pirates play our final regular season game on Tuesday September 3rd at 7:00 pm against the Jets at Germantown.  This will give the team 12 days to recover/heal from those nagging sprains and pulls.

After last nights loss we remain tied with the Senators in the division, but they are one game up on us overall.  The tie-breaker for the division is the overall record for the season (don't ask me why).  Both Pirates and Senators have one game left.  They have the O's on Sunday (first time I'm cheering for O's) and we have the Jets.  IF, the Senators lose against the O's and when we beat the Jets we will remain tied, in division and overall!  That means we will play a one game playoff game against the Senators.  That one game would be played on Friday Sept. 6th at Shawnee, 7 pm.  Winner gets the O's for a best of three Championship series!  Loser plays 2nd place team in the other division.

Good luck to John Denney & David Porta (Baltimore) and Jose Cubero (Huntsville) over the Labor Day weekend tournaments.  Safe travels and try not to get to banged up!

Guys, I've made the selection for who will represent the Pirates in this years All Star game.  I'm allowed four spots, one pitcher and three position player spots.  It's never easy making these choices because you all are All Stars (I know - little corny).

Pitcher - John Denney

Position Players - Chris Gregory, Jose Cubero, Bobby Blair

Alternate - Dustin Stover

All Star game is October 13th at 4:30 pm against the other divisions All Stars at Memorial Park.

Anyone interested in 49+ Fall Ball get in touch with David Allison at allison83@bellsouth.net or by cell 502-594-0872.  The Fall Ball season will start in September.  I believe there is a meeting on the 26th to pick players and then start play that weekend.  Get in touch with David to learn more.

All for now, get rested up and lets get ready for the Jets on the 3rd and go from there.  Have a great weekend!

Leo
