Dice Baseball 2006

BullwinkleBullwinkleBrown and Fuzzy Hero
It’s November…. it’s a chilly 75 degrees outside, and lot of us are a little bored to tears….

So, how about a game of Dice Baseball?

Rules, Rules, Rules….

Bullwinkle rolls the dice:
Single = double-1, 9, 10 (6 + 4)
Double = double-2
Triple = double-3, followed by extra roll-odd
Home run = double-4
Walk = double-5
Double play = double-6, if one or more runners on base. (See special rule,
below.)
Out = everything else. (i.e., including double-6 if no one on base.)
General rule: runners advance same number of bases as batter. I.e., 0 if
batter out; 1 if single, 2 if double, 3 if triple, 1 if forced by a walk.
Double play results: The batter is always out. More specifically:
Runners on 1st and 2nd: Out at 2nd and 1st, runner to third.
Runners on 1st and 3rd: Out at 2nd and 1st, runner scores.
Runners on 2nd and 3rd: Fly out, runner out at home, runner to 3rd.
Bases loaded: Out at home and 1st.

If you would like add’l rules to be inserted, post prior to start of game, we will discuss, I can be bribed and maybe we can work som’in, somi’in out. (ie: bean ball roll, or maybe a steal roll)

Bullwinkle is the commissioner and has final say in all player disputes, Bullwinkle must approve all trades. Bullwinkle may at anytime request blood and urine samples and each player is responsible for what is put into his/her own screen name. Bullwinkle can ban players for life or maybe one AB. Bullwinkle will not tolerate anyone tossing equipment and kicking my water cooler (yes….itsinthegame I’m talking to you.) Bullwinkle likes lively discourse, but no nasty comments regarding the shape/size of one’s snout or lack of a quality education. Bullwinkle will have no Yo Momma jokes about my Momma, but you may discuss anyone else’s Momma (if funny) Bullwinkle can change the rules at any time, but not the dice…..what is rolled is what is rolled.

If you want to play please post you name and requested number for your jersey below. If you wish to manage a team, also list that comment as well. I need at minimum 18 players. We may or may not have a draft, it depends on interest.

So, post below and let’s play ball!
M to the double O, S to the E.

I'm in - #17 please. Couple of things, how can my agent reach you to discuss terms. I spilled my urine sample, will a sample from my twin brother be OK.

My dad says I must start every game, bat 3rd or 4th and you must play me in any position I want.

I'm a 5 tool player (my dad says so) and I'm looking for a long term contract that you must honor but I can opt out on.

I'm a team leader (which means I get everything first).

I'm also very coachable - I'm able to coach others because I know it all.

Cant wait to get started - Go team!!!!
BullwinkleBullwinkleBrown and Fuzzy Hero
Actually, that’s not true Beezer, the Bullwinkle has applied for a patent that allows urine samples be transmitted via the computer….

I know that a lot of posters are computer geeks and would have never thought about this, but I did. What most people don’t know is that between the keys on your keyboard there are small receptacles that can and in fact already do hold DNA information that can be analyzed without the end users knowledge. I figured that out one day after a sneezing fit that left my keyboard…… ah …wet. Upon removing the keys from the keyboard for cleaning…(granted two weeks later), I found finger nails, Dr Pepper, and bits for skin along with my now dried up nose phlegm. Right then and there I wrote a program to serendipitously analyze the DNA left behind and sell this information to various Dr Frankenstein's, Life Insurance Companies, and Drug Enforcement Agencies. The Drug Enforcement Agencies required urine samples, so I had to modify my software to accept this sample.

So; if a sample is required, all you have to do is tinkle on your keyboard, and I’ll do the rest!

(As a small reminder to protect you’re identify, please….
PLEASE turn off your cam prior to submitting specimen.)

Bullwinkle,

Your description of the keyboard incident has left me barely willing to touch mine, but nonetheless I'd like to play.

AK took my first choice of #13 (and he deserves it since it was already in his screen name!). So I'll pick #9.

I played 3B in college. I can now cover more territory. Big Grin When standing still. And I can still throw the ball to 1B, if the pitcher is willing to give it a little assist on the way across the infield. Maybe I'd be better in the outfield. Way out. Not sure about hitting. I would like to have a whiffle ball and one of those fat red plastic bats used when it's my turn, please. (Trick play - I'm going to try to get on base with a HBP. Don't tell the other team's pitcher.)

Bullwinkle, is there a place to land my private jet near the stadium. That was part of the contract my agent (BoreUs) sent to you. Included in this agreement was a hangnail specialist to make sure I dont burn myself out for future seasons$$$$. I have put on 20lbs of muscle in the last 5 days just by using hand lotion and training - mostly on the keyboard.

GO me Team

Catcher09: While I appreciate your enthusiasm and your representation by ScoTt BoreUs, I must state that you have not yet been drafted. While you are part of the player pool and your participation is somewhat anticipated, you or your agent and I will discuss your Lear Landing rights with me later.

I am happy to announce that HSBBDice2006 has signed a contact with Mary Kay Cosmetics hand lotion, and you must use Mary Kay products in the future. Ms. Kay has requested that all uniforms be two shades of pink…. (Bullwinkle nixed that quickly), I have agreed that your jet must be painted pink and she also is requesting you be available to massage her 95 year old coccyx. Your agent and I have agreed to her second request for the financial success of this game.

Now that our major sponsor will be handled by catcher09….we need more players!

Please sign up!

DB2BMom wants in the game and since all three of my numbers (47, 17 & 9) have been taken....I'll go with #1 which my younger son wore for many, many years and it reminds me of him.

I have a plus arm and can thrown on a line so put me in the outfield. Of course it might take a couple of hops and roll a few feet but it will eventually get there. My batting average and bowling average are comparable. Let's see if the scouts have that in their report.

Forget the tailbone, I'll do the tailgate..Supply dogs and burgers, chips, BYO, gatorade. JBB gets steak!

I don't understand, where is the leadership for this game. Where is Fungo, Infielddad, Deldad, OPP,FrankF, we need your pro experience!
Where's woodman? Where's CD? Where's Bee>, where's rz? Where's TR? Where's OB44? Where's Orlando. How about some newbies, rather rookies?
Remember you need not be present to play. Roll Eyes

Bull Commish,

Howube walks up to the fence and checks out the field.

Not Bad. Grass looks a little dead, but hey, it’s November what can you expect.

Grabs her stadium seat and blanket then climbs up on the bleachers to find just the “perfect spot”. Wraps up in her blanket, props her feet up, and waits for the “show” to start. This ought to be a good game.

Oky dokey…

We have 20 players….if you haven’t signed up yet there is still time. Just post your name and requested number. I’ll add you to the draft pool.

Next up:

Team Names.

Please suggest possibilities for the two teams..

After suggested names are submitted, the Commish Bullwinkle will select.

Next step would be the draft:

Scouts are currently watching and making notes, granted most are fixated on only a few….the pool is rather limited. Also, some players are not in town due to sponsership duties. But, Scouting reports are due out soon. Maybe, if we are lucky, one or two scouts might post their findings and suggestions.

Following a couple of practices, it would be game time.

So…post your two team name suggestions!

BTW--the danged football crowd left the Training Room in shambles. Penicillin growing in the whirlpools, and I don't even want to know what I found growing in the Gatorade coolers. To top it all off, I found a JV player who had been taped to one of the treatment tables since August.

Howube looks around, notices some of the scouts standing along the fence. They seem to be checking out the players.

I believe a couple of them have some concerns about the “makeup” of some of the players. Now this could get REAL interesting. Takes a sip of that Hot totty…Hmmm….can almost feel her fingers and toes again.

I'll take number "0",..and can be kinda the loner rookie player who will play wherever needed. Just excited to play.
Sorta like the monkey in the middle or perhaps the hostess with the mostest! HA! I make great bbq and brownies,...been told I still have my girlish figure ( hey,..I'll say anything to get on this team! )
I'm also great at cleaning and can get even the worst dirt outta your dice rollin' hands!
Perhaps maybe I'm looking for more of the team mom position???? Team Cheerleader???

Bullwinkle, you decide.

I have no clue how to play, but am pretty quick on the draw and make a mean meatloaf!

Thats gotta count for somethin',..right?

For those interested, I went digging through the files and found this from a showcase I've attended:

ACME SHOWCASE REPORT:

Body - Taller body, strong solid build, well proportioned, well developed lower half, broad shoulders, projectable build.

Offense - Plus bat speed, excellent gap to gap hitter, power from gap to gap, quick trigger, gets to velocity easily, ball explodes off the bat, projectable hitter with power.

Defensively –

1B: Good footwork around the bag and showed good defensive instincts, moves around the base well, can pick it, solid actions, nice hands.

3B: strong arm, ball exits well, hands work, adequate range, aggressive to ball.

C: Very exciting player to watch, good pop times, loves to throw runners out, solid fundamentals defensively, receives well.

Other - runs bases well, very aggressive.

Bottom line; I just want to play and will play wherever needed. It looks like a great group of prospects and I'm looking forward to playing with and most importantly against some of you. I'm extremely competitive and I don't like to loose. But I play by the rules and am always exhibiting good sportsmanship.

Bullwinkle,...( aka:KOF ) by the sounds of Beezers showcase evaluation,..pllleeeease do me a favor & grant all us ol' married gals a smile & require that his baseball uniform be shorts and a tank top!
(Woopsie,....was I thinking that or did I actually type that outloud?? Geesh,...better go get the duck tape before I get myself in trouble,..or worse,..thrown off the team, a team that I'm not even sure I'm on yet! eeek!)

Did someone say hot totties?

Its Miss Mary Kay's. She's the looong lost, second time removed, cousin of Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. Names are similiar, but they dont usually get mistaken once seen in person. Miss Mary Kay has no known eating disorders,..thus the reason she's got her jet parked at the Piggly Wiggly, if you get my drift!! Its been said not only does she do wonders with a makeup brush, but can scarf down a 2 foot hoagie in three seconds flat, with the best of em'. Hmmm,...I wonder if she's thinkin' about trying out for the team?

Perhaps she could finance us all the way to the World Series? No more staying in Econo Dollar motels baybah,...or sleepin in the back of the car at tournaments/showcases. Hyatt Regency here we come!!!!

What do you think?


You imply that the Moose has a brain....Bullwinkle is more the scarecrow.

"If I only had a brain....
Do do do do do do"

Sure I am willing to wait, I am just passing time so the scouts can have a better chance to watch our players.

The following is a sample of my resume for the scouts and commissioners review.

Most of the data comes from the Bubba Showcase.

Defensive

Catcher/ 3rd Base

Good hands – A friend works for Allstate
Quick feet –married for 20 years and wife has never landed a punch or frying pan
Intelligence –learned the appropriate thing to say to any request of wife is YES MAM.
Arm Strength – can nail a ball to second on no more then 3 hops
Arm Speed – clocked doing 75 in a 55 zone while waving out the window

Offensive – actual quotes from Bubba’s showcase

“he is very offensive”
“he is powerfully offensive”
“he is offensive to all fields”
“he is an all-star at being offensive”

Teamwork.

Very diligent in making sure the team works hard to make sure I can win.

Agreed with Commissioner Bullwinkle to paint my private jet pink to help the team – yes that was my jet at the Piggly Wiggly.

Sorry I'm late, just got back from the Owners' Meeting. That Bud, what a cutup!

I'll manage (I did well last year, didn't I? I must have killed those brain cells.) It was a great deal easier than playing, and I didn't have to participate in those embarassing postgame showers.

Name suggestions:

Orlando Guerilla Fighters
Fredericksburg Fire Ants
Boston Barmy Army
Norfolk Nchance
Internet Passive Aggressives

Any schedule published yet Mr. Winkle, sir?
TPMTPMHSBaseballweb Member since 2003
Ok, TPM will manage against Orlando if no one wants it.

I promise I will not take any rookies behind the shed and give verbal bashing. Eek

Will not throw bucket of balls, kick dirt at umpires, have any kind of hissy fits or deliver chin pimp slaps.

All team members will be treated equally regardless of scholarship or how much your folks gave to alumni fund. In other words, you got to EARN it baby!

Team names could be
Tiger Paws Big Grin
Webster Warriors
Miami Mashers
Howdy Dowdys

Team colors orange/purple

Obviously, TPM, they're afraid of me (either that, or they're so convulsed with laughter they haven't been able to type.)

However, if you continue to refer to yourself in the third person, I'm thinking you might want to consider a career change to professional football or basketball Wink.

Don't mess with Florida women, sports fans!
06catcherdad06catcherdad1,000+ posts
Whoa there, FloridaHokie. That was sorta a lame attempt at humor. That "dirtbag" mom is actaully very proud to be called such. Her son Vance pitches for Long Beach State. I can assure you that the one and only DB2BMOM has every right to be proud of that, her son is an outstanding pitcher. I tried to get him to play with our summer team for several years, but he always played for the "other" teams, and killed us every time we faced him. I know Shirl a bit, watched a game with her last year and we talk from time to time, and I can reassure you she's a classy lady, one of the better parents I've seen in the opposing stands over the years.

Long Beach and Irvine make a nice little rivalry, which is why I was saying she'd pose with anyone. There was no offense intended at all. Smile

Moved on to "Player Development" and had three sons. Big Grin Career then naturally progessed to coaching. Have participated in numerous coaching clinics required for liability insurance which means I'm certifiable. crazy Got suckered, um I mean had the opportunity to be head coach for an "Expansion" team, the 9yr old Seattle Mariners. (First base is that way!) I'm an experienced scorekeeper and statistician. Hablo espanol un poquito tambien! This could help if team picks up some players from the south.

Heck, I couldn't think of a good matchup to go against cheeseheads. On the other hand, the land of fruits and nuts could have plenty of opponents, I'm sure.

I guess this just goes to show why I shouldn't be allowed to manage (and even I shudder at the thought of me as commmish!). We'll all have to defer to the wisdon of his mooseness.

Nope...I've been here in the Chicago area...raking leaves...causing trouble.

I did try to send that urine sample before I learned of Bullwinkle's patented machine.

My first attempt was a painful failure...any of you guys that have ever relieved yourself on an electric fence will know what I'm talking about...I didn't have any trouble hitting the CD tray, but that's about all I remember...there was an enormous flash and the next thing I know I'm dazed and sitting on the floor near the corner...somehow I had a slight perception that I was a wee bit wiser at that moment than I had been just earlier. I just can't get this image out of my mind...




Trial and error. I figured that I had better go back to the drawing board if I wanted this to fly.

First I wrapped all of the sharp edges on my computer with Teflon tape...couldn't find the duct tape...can't imagine where I put it. And I lined the computer up with the sofa...that hard landing on the floor was not going to happen again.

Next I glanced out over my wing chair and trimmed the ailerons...that's when I noticed it...the likely solution to my vexing problem...a pitot tube...perfect! Thank goodness for good 'ol Danny Boy Bernoulli. Never, never did I think my buddy Bernoulli would have such an effect on me!

All of that Teflon tape must have done the trick...no flash...no explosion.

That tube was a pretty small target, but I'm certain that my aim was good enough ...Bullwinkle surely received it.

I know it got as far as Comcast's office because they sent me an e-mail explaining to me that they knew about everything I was doing and that they will not come out to the house to fix any problems resulting from my attempt. They mentioned something about "it's in the small print" and "courts have consistently ruled in our favor". Ok...I get the picture.



I'm going to have to say "no dice" to the baseball game. After doing all of the exhausting testing I really feel that I'm better suited to rest up and watch this baseball game from the bleachers.

So batter up!

Plus I have the distinction of being the one and only HSBBWebster to have documented proof of my meeting with the Bullwinkle. Cool

I'm bored! When does the draft begin? I like the idea of Orlando and TPM managing the teams.
TPMTPMHSBaseballweb Member since 2003
DB,
Thanks for the plug.

Although I sometimes "show flashes of dominance" (like that TD) Wink, management is my strength.

I also propose that after the games, a HSBBW draft take place for all players, #1 pick getting a free year's subscription to the HSBBW! Big Grin

As for Orlando, she is quite knowledgeable in the game, perhaps a bit more than some other people I know. Eek
BullwinkleBullwinkleBrown and Fuzzy Hero
Bullwinkle is busy around the office working out other sponsorship ideas and later this afternoon I’m getting together with Snoop Dog to chill and work on a theme song to HSBBDice2006. Hanging with the dog normally means I’m out of commission until Monday….

So TPM and Orlando are team owners…

TPM and Orlando please draft your teams and post results so we can start game Monday afternoon 11/20/06. Best draft is the TPM chose first the Orlando second and so on…it might be easier in chat…but do whatever works for you two.

OK, that's 20, but counting you, B. So if we replace you with Observer44 and woody --- is there another rook out there in the bushes we've missed to make it an even 22?

Draft here or in chat? When? (I'm playing work until 5.30-ish....not that that's currently stopping me.)

Yikes Beez! You've got a better bead on me than Comcast...that's scary!

We do have a Patches! And her sister Maggie along with Maizey who was found, near death, in a cornfield.

Patches isn't the youngest though...that would be Furbie. I rescued her from the neighbor's basement window well a couple of months ago...she was the runt of the litter and her mom, a feral cat, tossed her into the well and thusly into our lives.

And all three of the older ones hang around the toilet, sink, and the shower. Very hygienic kittens. Odd behavior...why am I not surprised?

I checked with the 'pokes at the Four-T-Four Ranch and they couldn't lasso one.

Same with the firemen on Engine 44...a few embers, but no real heat.

And the brave and respected remaining members of the U.S. 44th Infantry Division. They marched off to find you a number, but their search only yielded the null set.

Checked the whole length of this...



And of course this also...



And I checked with Ken Calvert in California's 44th U.S. House District...no luck.



And I queried every resident here...they all had suggestions for me, but none concerning your number...

The number 44 on the five-pointed star signifies that Wyoming was the 44th state admitted to the Union.

I even asked Hammerin' Hank, NO. 44, and he batted it around for awhile, but no RBI.




I dunno' 44...it's perplexing for sure...I'm really...

In addition to 1st I can also play 3rd, actually I prefer whatever is closest to the dugout. My last start on the mound was in slow pitch softball so if you want to take your chances with a high arc trying to paint the black I could probably be used in relief.

TPM I am ok with purple and orange but I have been meaning to mention that the uniforms Clemson wore last week might have been the ugliest football uni's I have ever seen. I probably just dropped several rounds in the draft but my agent/advisor told me not to be afraid to speak my mind. Ya think I can trust him?

jersey, I believe Bullwinkle was under the impression that the rights to negotiate for your services were not yet finalized. Your agent, Scott Bombast, has been making some heavy demands and the Moose does not tolerate that kind of Bull.

After a latenight session involving much in the way of cigar-smoking, table-pounding, snide remarks about talent, and not a few jello shots, the following rosters have been agreed:

TPM's PPP's - Purple Pawtucket Paws:

JustBB - 24
itsinthegame - 12
catcher09 - 17
JME - 43
FloridaHokie - 18
LadyNMom - 14
ClevelandDad - 16
Beezer - 23
ssmom - 0
playbaseball - 6
jerseydad - 45


My team (and might I add that I, of course, am a lifelong fan of the 2006 World Champion St. Louis Cardinals ----how's THAT for Karma!)

All State Keyboards:

RHP - 27
AK - 13
JT - 7
0209Mom - 19
DD - 5
StillLearning - 14
DB2B - 1
Rz - 30
Creeks - 74
OB44 - ummm....44
GotWood - 365


Venue and start times to be determined by the Commoose. We await your pleasure, Your Mooseness.

Way to go "O"!!

Looks like a lot of very overpriced talent on those PPP's...and you "O", Pulled in all the upcoming undervalued talent...just like 'ol BIlly B....

...Punny how that good karma lined up on the "keyboards"!

And aren't you the smart one "O"! Must have known it is a wood bat league so you took the king of all things wood...The Wood Man.

say "O",...between you and I...if the players are listed by slection order...don't tell the woodman he is a bit s-e-n-s-i-t-i-v-e...Shhh...Mum's the word...

Cool 44

MN-Mom, as the Exhaulted Head Honcho, you're throwing out the first ball. Should you be playing, BW would not want to risk an errant throw of the dice that might result in a Denkinger-like call against you. He's not afraid of the repercussions so much as he's concerned that anybody with 'Mom' in their screen name would lay guilt on him for the rest of the long, dark offseason....

Ditto for me.

Hey Coach TPM, I brought a note from my mom excusing me from the first team/parent meeting.
Unfortunately I will be taking care of some not so pleasant family hometown business for the next few days.
Will be back Sunday, ready to play & give it my ol' 110% effort.
Could someone take notes for me? Or bat roll for me if ya start before then?

( I'll take a medium size shirt pleaase,...and I think matching purple colored cleat laces would look spiffy! )

MNMom,

We have reserved you for throwing out the first pitch and Head Chief Blue.

You will be the liason between the Commish and the teams, as you have shown fairness and tolerance.

This is a very important position, do not take it lightly.

You are also in charge of declaring MVP of the series. You may if you wish, rely on PG's services, using scouting reports and gun readings and pop times for deciding who shall receive the trophy. Smile

JT,
Be careful, this type of activity may not be approved by the Commissioner and most likely will give the PPP's advantage of being home team. PPP's have no affiliation for the team from "Klempson", "Clemsin", whichever way you pronounce it.
Orlando, this player needs a stern talking to, and make sure if he is not looking you straight in the eye, you "pimp" slap his chin.

Some players do not realize, on this level, you may need a smacking to keep you in line, or be respectful of the game and the players.

Catcher09,
Put the jet in the jet hanger, you are just a "playa" now like everyone else, no special treatment on this team. No egos allowed.

Thanks Wink

My team is respectful of the game, have friends on the other team and have been told to mind their q's and PPP's.
No bashing allowed or they sit the bench.

Yeah those grocery carts...they've been getting totally out of control for years. Ever since "Supermarket Sweep" and those souped up, turbo-charged carts...What...you don't believe me? Well check this out!

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-86446133975205...q=Grocery+cart&hl=en


When the show was cancelled I heard the carts were released somewhere in Southern California and they've been mating and spreading throughout the country ever since. A lovefest...a bacchanal...they can't even stay on their wheels!





I can't imagine the difficulty and anxiety in trying to land a jet airplane amidst them...I tried to merely drive off in my car the other day and look what happened to me...a grocery cart came crashing into my rear end...and the shoppers on either side of me got the same treatment!





I had to be taken to the ER to have a small can of Van Camps Beanee Weanee weaned from my ear...



I just don't know what the solution to this problem is...by the way...do you happen to have a can opener?

Wow, the "Brown and Fuzzy Hero" sent me on a mission to Japan to offer $51 million to have the chance to sign similar moose and to offer an additional $12 million per year for "MOOSE MUNCH" and so, effectively took me out of the states during this draft. I guess he has my best interest at heart since the "roids testing" surely would have revealed the truth behind the lack of hair, massive muscles, and poor temperment. Good Luck and check those free agent signings. For the right price I can be lured back.

CoachB25, you're our Dave Duncan! I wanna see a 12-6 Wainwright curve out of this staff, I wanna see corners painted, out pitches out the wazoo, I wanna see chin music, batters backed off the plate and command established. I wanna see Chris Carpenter command and Bob Gibson dominance. But mostly I wanna see Muldar in the shower.

Can you help us, Coach?

And JT...since I don't know much about baseball and even less about playing dice I figured it would be good if I read that book you offered..."Baseball For Keyboards"...only problem is I can't get it to open...I've moistened my fingers...used a rubber bottle lid opener...even asked one of my kids to try...no success. I'm eager to read up JT...any help?

Go ahead Orlando, take coachB, we will need subs. I am going ot try to persuade FrankF with a large bonus to come play for the PPP's. We will need subs in case of injuries.

You tell 'em Lady!

JT/Woody I hope that you have sent the HSBBW a nice holiday donation for th extra bandwidth you create. Eek

Orlando, I'm going to do my best Duncan impersonation and get these yougins in line. We played a game a couple of years ago and I had a young man that could bring the heat. BTW, he just signed with Delta State from the JUCO he was attending. He as a soph and had to throw against the top team in the St. Louis area. In that game I told him hit the fence and hit it often. Never let them know you have control. We won that game. Of course, I'll do my best to avoid any breakdowns from our starters so that they won't have any "Marquis" performances. Like a "Carpenters", I'll do my best to have them work up an appetite. Then, I'll yell, "Sup's on" and let them enjoy feasting. In no time we'll have them winning "Weaver" we want to or not.

PRESS RELEASE

Cleveland, OH Nov 11, 2006

Beezer signs with Purple Pawtucket Paws

In breaking news today, we’ve learned that local sandlot standout Beezer, has signed with the Purple Pawtucket Paws. Once considered a washed-up, over-weight has been, apparently the Dice Ball League scouts have seen something in him that nobody, and we mean NOBODY else has seen in him for quite some time. He’ll be taking his game to the next level under the guidance of TigerPawMom, who has put together an otherwise stellar lineup. At press time, TigerPawMom could not be reached for comment.

Beezer was available and the following to say. “It’s an honor and a privilege to be drafted by the P3 organization. I’ve been a fan of theirs for years. It will give me a chance to play with some of the elite players at the next level. The P3 organization has lined up some of the best talent across the nation and I feel lucky to be included.” When asked what his role on the team will be, Beezer responded “I’m still getting over the shock of being drafted. When my agent called to give me the news, I thought I was dreaming. I’m not sure what their expectations are but I’m just taking it one day at a time, and lord willing, I’ll get a shot.” Several high caliber players have also been added to the roster. Beezer felt that some of the acquisitions would be key to their success. “I’ve read so much about the likes of Justbaseball, ClevelandDad, itsinthegame and JerseyDad and you know they’re solid. Shoot, I think our line-up will be solid from top to bottom”. When asked if he had anything to prove, Beezer offered the following. “No, I don’t think I need to prove anything. Apparently the scouts liked what they saw and gave me a chance. I’ve seen some highlights of our players as well as those on the All State Keyboard roster and I think I can hang with ‘em”. When Beezer was asked if there was any friction between the teams, he laughed and said “I’m not going to give them any bulletin board material. They seem to have a good core of players over there. Overall, I think they’re well coached and at this point anything can happen.”

Being the sensitive kind of guy I am, and one that does not like to make waves, I would usually be very low key in a competitive time. BUT, using team colors as an indicator, I see the distinct possibility that the All State Keyboards could be considered Americas Team.



and the Purple Pawtucket Paws with their roster riddled with "high priced has-beens" and colors having a very close association to the "Mourning Fan" which is commonly displayed during periods of mourning could be described in a pc format as "not as confident".

Opps, we didn't mean to leave anyone out, Red Face there is just so much going on here.

We need to add him in and coach B and update, O, I am leaving that one up to you!

One last call, anyone we missed? Anyone else?

Final roster has to be in soon!

Coach TPM

"Catcher09,
Put the jet in the jet hanger, you are just a "playa" now like everyone else, no special treatment on this team. No egos allowed."

I'm a team guy thats for sure, but how am I going to get my personnal valet, accupucture speacilist and (wink, wink) sports enhancement trainer to the games.

"No bashing allowed or they sit the bench."

But they started it

Does that mean no girl softball songs from the dug out as well - Im guessing you just want the team to just play ball - wow, thats a unique coaching method.

Coach O,

Thank you for calling me up from Memphis! I am proud to wear Cardinal red. Before you issue the final roster, can you ask the equipment manager to rummage through the uniform closet to see if he can find a Jersey with the # 15 in my size please? Lady N Mom is # 14. I hope you can find #15, I don't want any bad Karma from changing uni #s, not that ball players are in any way superstitous Wink Knock on Wood Big Grin

All State Keyboarders are we all TUNED up and ready to PLAY! Fingers are poised over the Keyboard waiting for the "Que" from the Commish to beging playing the "Star Spangled (Mangled by some) Banner"
