Ducks Set to Open Season Tomorrow vs. Militia

2011 Ducks Baseball

With tomorrows home game vs. the Militia, South Oakland (0-1) starts a stretch of 4 games in 7 days.

The Ducks face Elliot Saturday, t the West Side Sharks on Sunday, and the Militia again next Wed.

the Militia lacked pitching depth last year, I’m sure they addressed that in the offseason.

Should be interesting.

South Oakland returns basically the same team as last year, with the addition of pitchers, Garret Mack and the reacquisition of 2009 Duck, Mike Fletcher.

Last season we took a couple games to adjust to an overhauled roster, and started 4-6. This year we’ll have that continuity and chemistry at the start, and look to get out of the gate quicker.

In other news, James Fago will join the coaching staff this season and take over as manager in 2012.

Ducks Rained Out Again. Home Opener Wednesday 9pm

2011 Ducks Baseball, pittsburgh NABA

I saw this clip, and I was like, “Finally, just the sound of rain with no music!”

South Oakland will take on the Rebels Gray Bats  Militia Wednesday Night at SpringView Field.

The Ducks 0-1 with fifteen rainouts are eager to get the season started.

The Elliot vs Black Sox game tonight should be a good one.

Rain Again

2011 Ducks Baseball

Tonight’s Ducks Hurricanes game is cancelled due to unplayable field conditions.

South Oakland opens division play vs. the Express on Saturday. Huge game.

We should demand Vinny Gala come play for us until Whalen recovers…

All hands on deck Saturday.

Rain

2011 Ducks Baseball

With the short-handed Ducks leading 4-3 in the middle of the second, Sunday’s game was called due to bad weather.

Not sure of whether we pick up where we left off or start over or what.

Tomorrow’s forecast calls for more rain.

Should the rain hold off, we face the Hurricanes at 9pm at Spring View Field, Monday May 2nd, in what will potentially be our home opener.

Ducks Lose

2011 Ducks Baseball

Rick Whalen went down in the first inning after an rbi double by Vinny Gala, and a bizzare call on a pop out to right field.

Whalen has 4 staples in his leg and the Ducks finished the game with 8 players.

Casale, Fago and Cinefra had hits for South Oakland. Fago drove in the Ducks only run.

We’ll play the Bulldogs again in Spring Hill at 9pm with all our guys sometime on June 8th.

Not the best start.

Although Guthrie struck out Nechef who was 0-4 and turned down a spot on the Ducks this season.

South Oakland plays tomorrow at 12pm vs. the Devils at Pie Traynor Field.

Quack.

Ducks Set to Open Season Saturday

2011 Ducks Baseball

South Oakland (0-0) will face the Bulldogs (0-1)

Saturday at 8:30am at John Herb Field.

We’re using our September call-ups in May to fill out our lineup while we wait for the college kids to show up.

The Bulldogs are gonna be tough to beat this year and will give the Fightin’s all they can handle in the Norris Division.

They’re my sleeper pick to win it all in a league exactly like ours but without Ducks.

With three games in three days, the Ducks look to get in shape and discover hidden pitching talent before Patrick Division play starts on May 7th with a game against the Pony Express.

We’re returning all our starters from our championship team, and have a couple new guys I haven’t met or seen play.

That’s about as good of a preview as I can offer right now.

Jesse Smith is a beast.

Quack.

Gameday [1] Ducks vs. Eagles

2011 Ducks Baseball, pittsburgh NABA, South Oakland Ducks Baseball

South Oakland Ducks of the North Side

vs.

South Side Eagles

9 pm Springview Field

This will be only the 4th game of the season league-wide if we play, and  there’s still plenty of time for it to rain.

Its been all down hill for South Side since they lost that lefty short stop, or quit playing him there or whatever.

We will probably get Adam Smith on the mound.

We’re rolling with 8 guys and an actual duck until sometime between the 7th-12th of May.

Bad News for the Eagles.

Opening Day Eve

2011 Ducks Baseball, League Champion South Oakland Ducks, South Oakland Ducks Baseball

Rain is dominating the Pittsburgh NABA through two weeks of play, but it looks like we might actually play tomorrow.

Bullet Points.

YODA will show up at a bulldogs game and get into a fight with Trojan and/or Trojan’s “partner.”

The Militia will finish the regular season ahead of the Black Sox for the first time since they were the Rebels.

Clearly, the Sharks based their team name off West Side Story

The Bulldogs will finally win a playoff game/series…

 in the 28+ league.

Elliot will lose to the Black Sox in the playoffs when that guy who yells ‘Kenny Powers’ climbs the fence at Moore Park and knee-drops Elliot’s Ace in the 3rd inning, sparking a rally and a controversial win for Brookline when, after a two hour delay for the paramedics to cart the guy off the field and half the lights go out and the game is decided in a beer shot-gunning contest in the parking lot.

Then the Sox lose to the Ducks in the semis.

Anthony DeFilippo for MVP – believe it.

I don’t think there were league awards awarded last season. And where’s our trophy. It belongs in Guthrie’s living room until someone dethrones us.

We should move to a title belt.

Militia vs. the Fightin’s wil be heated. The Canes have more heated intra-division rivalries than anyone.

Rumor has it the Militia made a run at Rafalski in the off season.

Halloway is not pleased.

The big question is will the Ducks repeat.

We’re taking applications for Ducks Manager for the 2012 Season.

Thanks for reading.

Quack.

Pitching for the first time since he lost to Guthrie and the Ducks in the 2010 Championship, Pete Chalfin tossed a perfect game against the Express Thursday night at Moore Park.
