Too bad about the game last night. I’ll go ahead and mark that up as a win for the mon. Here’s some links to waste your Wednesday away.
The All Star Game was called after 3 innings when the lights malfunctioned with The Monongahela leading 3-1.
Guthrie had the game winning rbi, with a 1 out 2-run bases loaded shot to deep second base the guy had to dive for and make a tough throw the firstbaseman couldn’t hold onto.
the lights came back on after 15 minutes or so, but the Allegheny All Stars and the umpires left had left.
The Owlz boycotted the All Star Game, apparently.
BP Thursday at 6pm.
Kenny, get your team together for the labor day tourney.

What are people’s plans for lodging in Erie? I’m on vacation next week and won’t be able to make any plans then, so I’d like to figure out what I’m doing this week. Anybody wanna split a room?
Bacon flavored vodka? Who’s gonna pick up a bottle of this for Erie?
Nice work, Nate. – FightinRafalskis.com for next year.

Rafalski pitched the last 3 innings for the Canes relieving possibly Chris Rekker but i’m not sure.
Chalfin did the same for Brookline, Slavicek pitched early and was pulled after allowing a few unearned runs. The Sox kicked it around a bit apparently.
I got there in the top of the sixth, it was 5-2 Canes.
In the top of the seventh, the Black Sox rallied.
The Sox nearly had a lead-off double but a shot down the line by their nine hitter was just foul, and he ended up striking out.
Florian reached on a 2 base error by the Canes then Klayko singled him in, then Goldie hit one to the wall in left center to score Klayko.
after a strike out of a pinch hitter, Kenny Powers stepped into the box.
He walked, and the next batter flew out to center.
Game over.
Only the Black Sox (’04, ’06) have won two league titles.
Owlz (’08), Rebels (1861), Warriors (’05), Ducks (’03), and now the Hurricanes have won one apiece.
No team has won back to back titles.
Bad News for the Canes next season.
Rafalski is the hands down league MVP in my opinion.
No one player meant more to their team.
Good season, everyone, congrats to the Fightins on a great turnaround from ’08.
Everyone get your money in for the Labor Day tourney by Friday the 14th.
Sorosky has RobCooled himself a team full of ringers and he thinks he is going to run over everyone – no way that could back fire… if his Pirates team wins the tourney he will have to eclipse the number of wins the Gray Bats had in 24 regular season games in one weekend.
Season recap soon.
See you at the all-star game on the 11th if I don’t have to work.
