The Final Four

Your Angels won their playoff game last Saturday, 10-zip, to advance to the finals of the winners bracket (which is tonight). If we win, we advance to the League Championship next Tuesday. If we lose tonight, we advance to the finals of the losers bracket on Saturday.

For the third playoff game in a row, The Playmaker:

a. batted lead-off
b. drew a walk to start the game
c. stole second and eventually scored the first run of the game

For the game, he was 1-2 (single to right) with 2 runs scored and 2 walks. His one out was kind of funny. He come up with the bases loaded and lined one off the pitcher's shin (ouch) so hard that the ball rolled toward the catcher, who promptly picked it up and stepped on the home plate for a force out. On defense The Playmaker did his customary rotation between catcher, first base and center field.

Tonight will be our toughest game in the playofs by far, as we are playing the mighty Cubs (who dominated the regular season). Still, throughout the playoffs we have outscored opponents by a margin of ... wait for it ... 24-1. Repeat: TWENTY FOUR to ONE.

Go Angels!
