Splitsville Once Again, OBI Should Pull Down the #6 Seed ...

Inconsistency is the bastard child of Effort and Complacency. Ok, maybe it just seems that way when it is cold and rainy and muddy, who nose. 

OBI earned another weekly split and finishes Season 6 with a 6-7-1 record. We hit extremely well at times and at others, soooo not so much. The effort is there, but someone needs to replace the light bulb on the porch as we sometimes seem to not be home ,,, lol ... Ok, enough dark.

With Murphy's Law splitting an early game double header, the 4th seed was out of reach by the time OBI took the field for the 8:15 game. Ok, ok,,, we started this game an hour late due to an earlier rain delay, but I digress. Winning game 1 gave us an opportunity to control our own destiny for the 5th seed, alas,,, spanksville in Game 2 put us back on our collective 6th seed asses ...

We should open first round play vs. either Skeleton Crew, Mammas Boys, or Warning Track Power. With a good effort in this early January 2014 game, a meeting with #4 seed Murphy's Law will await us.

Game 1 had some good offensive highlights: DC and KC each drove in 2 runs in the bottom of the 1st inning, KC's via a Big Fly. Having fallen behind 7-11 going to the bottom of the 5th, OBI put up a 6 spot to take the lead capped by an improbable Grand Slam by Mighty Matt (his second HR of the season).

OBI then took back to the offense in the 6th and ran out the clock with 5 hits in 6 at bats. No stalling, just hitting. That is how we do it ...

Of course, that said, Chico's Bail Bonds took it to us in game 2 with a 19-9 rout that most likely sent OBI to the 6th seed. Down 16-3 going into the 4th inning, OBI opened up a real small can of whoop ass and punched across 5 runs with DC and KC going back-to-back... Ya, and that was about it in that misty mountain rain storm there on Thursday night.

The stats for Season 6 follow, however, do note that there are a few interesting season long categories up grab in the tournament ,,,

-- Larry leads Michael 163-161 with the most Hits in 2014 ... Ok, boring I know,,, 
-- KC and Spillane have 14 HRs in 2014, with DC at 12 ... Who finishes atop the Bambino category?
-- @ 47-45-2 ,,, OBI needs one win to guarantee a winning 2014 ... Let's just do it !!!
