Ducks Lose: Bulldogs 6, Ducks 4

2012 South Oakland Ducks Baseball, Bulldogs

South Oakland (0-2-1) trailed 5-0 going into the bottom of the sixth, but rallied for 3 runs, allowed one in the top of the seventh, before scoring another run in the seventh and falling just short.

The game ended on a bases loaded fielder’s choice.

Once again a bad inning – two infield hits, a ball that bounced over our shortstop and a misplayed ball in the outfield allowed the Bulldogs (2-0-1) to get out to an insurmountable lead.

They made fewer mistakes.

It feels like we’re coming together though. We battled, and we still haven’t fielded a full team yet.

Up next for South Oakland of the North Side, a doubleheader against the Michigan Militia this Sunday 10:30 AM, on the turf, at Woodland Hills High.

Quack.

Rebels Watch 2012!

2012 South Oakland Ducks Baseball, pittsburgh NABA, who names their team the Rebels?

After an opening day shutout of the South Side Eagles, the Shaler Rebels have dropped two straight to fall to 1-2 on the season, good for fifth place in the A division, but only 1.5 games behind the first place Titans, who I think are also from the Shaler area.

We’re still awaiting word on who or what the Rebels are rebelling from.

Expect a bloodbath when Shaler takes on the Senators Wednesday night.

We still remember the help the Eagles gave us early last year, but South Oakland’s pick to win the A division is the Warriors depending on Craig Boley’s status.

Let’s make some fucking noise tomorrow morning.

quack.

The Roster

2012 South Oakland Ducks Baseball, pittsburgh NABA, South Oakland Ducks Baseball, who names their team the Rebels?

The South Oakland Ducks of the North Side will rol out a roster featuring the top players from the 2007 team, and members of the Fightin’ Ra 2009 League Champion Hurricanes.

Everyone is excited to get the season started. It will be the Ducks 10th.

Realignment was discussed last league meeting, no clue how that panned out.

Big time rivalry with the cherokee. Bring your smallpox-infested blankets to that one.

Godspeed flip, berdine and tish, etc.

I put the over/under on how long that team lasts at 1.5 seasons.

And there’s a new rebels team apparently, who we will not play as they are in the A division.

quack.

Ducks Titans, Sunday 5:30, Bellevue Park

pittsburgh NABA, South Oakland Ducks Baseball

I know nothing about this team  except they are in the A division and were recently swept by the Maulers.

We’re catching them on the second half of a double header. They play the Maulers in game 1.

The Militia are facing federal prosecution for importing illegal Canadian immigrants and have lost two of three to the Sox and three straight division games.

The Black Sox are now in first place in the Wales Conference. If things play out as the rankings dictate, Brookline and South Oakland will play next Monday for first place and both teams will have won several games in a row.

Big Oil beat the Bulldogs 2-1 and squeaked out two, one-run victories over the Knights. I don’t even know what to deduce from that except what is already common knowledge league-wide.

They’ve got nothing without that lefty and they cheat.

THE HURRICANES! haven’t played the Bulldogs yet, but they lost by more than one to the Oilers, so it’s fair to say the Bulldogs will beat them, although, the HURRICANES!!!! Beat the Ducks by 7 and 10 runs respectively, and the Bulldogs only beat us by 4 so maybe they will play to a scoreless tie?

Either way, the Oilers should just be in the Campbell Conference and the Militia are basically fucked in the division race unless they sweep the Eagles, take the last two from the Ducks, and get help.

They will be officially eliminated if we beat them once more. They’d be able to finish no better than 5-4 in the division, and will lose tie-breakers to both the ducks and sox.

It’s shaping up to be a two-horse race for the division.

We will need the Eagles to beat the Black Sox if we don’t take the last two games from them.

Bring on Kenny Powers.

That’s gonna be some intense ball.

Not that we’re overlooking any opponents; that’s how losses happen.

Quack.

Gameday Twelve.4: Ducks vs. Militia

NABA, pittsburgh NABA, South Oakland Ducks Baseball, who names their team the Rebels?

South Oakland Ducks of the North Side (6-5, 1-1)

vs.

Michigan Militia (6-2, 1-0)

9pm

Spring View Field.

Lost in the buzzzzz surrounding the Ducks absorbing players fromthe team that lost to the Black Sox in the Whales Conference Final last season, the cheating machine known as Big Oil, the Bulldogs and HURRICANES!!! battling for the top spot in the Campbell Conference, the Michigan Militia has quietly pipe-bombed  its way to a 6-2 start, and, after a dramatic win over Kenny Powers, they are atop the Whales Conference as the Pgh NABA dives into Divisional play.

Two of the Ducks Blog’s all timem favorite teams, the Gray Bats and the Confederacy, have combined their resources, stockpiled weapons and canned goods and, after spending the off-season literally underground contriving ways to undermine the government and the bleeding heart homos in Washington and their big government welfare machine, they are back with a vengeance, invoking their 2nd amendment rights while assembling a solid roster for their “Patrioticly”-themed baseball squad which has been funded by by an unnamed group of jingoist, hyper-nationalist fundamentalists who will shoot first and ask questions later, the shadowy organization is using the team as a front for money laundering the profits from gun running, heroin distribution, and the show Jersey Shore.

This is a battle for first place in the division.

Rumor has it the Militia  wear star-spangled uni’s.

Jeremy Barchie, seen here after a night of blackout drinking, high stakes black jack and horseback riding, models the new Militia uniforms.

We’ll need the White Stripes.

Bad News for the Militia.
