Collar
Update:
"The Management is mistaken. Donny Money will be providing the shots while I and Laniece will provide the nudity and pillowfighting."

Upset????
Notes from around the league:
Collar pounded the Academy, but the biggest surprise was the P&P Softball Franchise of Philadelphia who ended their contest with the SPTR with a stunning 18-18 tie, suspended after 8 innings. Just silliness. This should be a huge wake up call to the Tap Room, but, most likely, will not be. Management would love nothing more than the deserved upset. Congrats to Al Heinle, however, for saving the embarrassing loss by getting the 2 out RBI to push the game to next time. Mark Nevins was 5-5 or so he told Management even though he didn't ask.
In other news, BTM (Bad Touch Museum h/t Bob Ford) pounded the Art Museum. This is another one of those you never know what you're gonna get games as the Collar had no problem with BTM earlier in the year. Guess it depends on how many of the 35 people show up. Looking like some parity around the league this year. Might have something to do with the salary cap that the Commish is thinking of instituting next year.
Reminder, we play Bishops Collar next Tuesday at Edgely 8. Phyllis has promised a round of shots should they lose. Donny Money has promised nudity. The Management will have to get super drunk for this game it seems.

Week 3: Zooropa Rainout
Zoo v. TFI RAINED OUT
rescheduled for a tuesday in early June.
Rain sucks hind tit. I guess we 'won' though since we had 2 people go to the field and they had none. Yay! We freakin' hate rainouts.
Anyway, Management is going to 'scout' (i.e. drink beers) the SPTR/P&P game but more importantly check in on the ART/PTM game. Cause as we know, there is no love lost between Management and PTM. All are welcome to join. An interesting note, the Management has realized that we have not once recognized our beloved pitcher despite valiant efforts pitching and in the field.
So, Yay Chandra!!!!!
There. Done.
Quote of the Day:
"Rain is like your friend's ugly cousin, you don't want her to come over, get upset when she does, but realize it's all part of nature and you just start drinking until it's acceptable."

Week 2: Penis Mightiers
Franklin 22 P&P 9
Recap:
They were sitting on a gold mine with those Penis Mightiers, but not on this evening. Close game up until the 3rd then it was all Force. A vintage TFI game, we played great defense, hit the ball all over the place, and somewhere, in a small unlit NYC studio apartment, Ryan Vellia sobbed softly.
The Good: Tucker hit the ball well up the middle. Management certainly was impressed and wants to see more of that. New 3rd sacker Mickey something, dusted off the ghosts of Haroon Vellia and played spectacular defense, Adam Siebert hit the ball well, earning the respect of a SPTR scout who was there, and also made a great catch somewhere in the woods on P&P's Steve Lynch moonshot. 4 of their runs came on a grand slam by P&P's Mark Nevins who put one through the goal post so the Management was pleased with how few runs overall the team surrender. Incidentally, Management noticed that Nevins' shot did not lead to an onfield altercation a la 3 years ago versus an unknown artistic team. TFI must be maturing....well, except for Buddy (reigning Nick Ventrola Memorial Award Winner). Top of the order mashed the ball and everyone played well all around. Pete Kellepourey made quite possibly the best slide into home plate to avoid a tag that the Management has seen in this league. Additionally, Ventrola's dive to end the game (despite being unnecessary, dangerous, and drunken, thus why the Award is named) was equally amazing.
The Bad: Not too much went against the Force. No Ed Wagner. Rookie Alyssa played in jeans channeling TFI circa 2004 P&P Captain Bob Ford did not play....again. Weak.
TFI Mystique (formerly The Ugly): P&P outfielder Lynch went 0-3. Management doesn't want to say we Benson'd him so we'll let someone else say it.

Week 1 recap (late!)
SPTR 18 TFI 7 suspended (darkness)
Weak 1st game. But, the management said before the season that they were going to enjoy their (potential) last year with the team. So this post will only be positive! And say nothing about their LVP-ful 1-3 showing.
Overall: a wet game, not the best of conditions. But not too many errors that we recall. The shortstop had one, there were some bad throws but mainly this came down to hitting and SPTR hit up and down the lineup. That's how you win in this league. That's why we usually win. We didn't do it on Monday. 1st game of the year. The management is unconcerned.
The Good: Timmy Marino threw off the Marino label and hit the ball well to all fields except left and center. C-Roon came back after a 2-year maternity leave to play 2nd base and it's good to have her back on the diamond. We experimented with people in the field to give them some experience at positions they may not play a lot of and they performed admirably (Ed Wagner, Tucker C. Tuckerson). #1 Fan was there as usual. MGMT doesn't remember much of the hitting so we won't say much.
The Bad: Hitting was average (for the Force) for most of the game. 7 runs isn't enough. We also threw the ball around. And the shortstop only had 4 PBRs brought out to him. The first 2 we can live with in the regular season, but the 3rd is inexcusable. SPTR SS Al Heinle drank more.
The TFI mystique (formerly called The Ugly): TFI learned that it still can get into the heads of the opponents. SPTR outfielder John Benson was a victim twice as Forcers were told not to speak while he's swinging and also when JB decided to ridicule the shortstop instead of advancing on an errant throw. Expect even more antics next time.
Quote of the day (idea stolen from SPTR blog):
"Please don't talk during my backswing!"
John Benson
Yeah, JB, we'll get right on that.
