Guest Evolution Report post Posted October 20, 2003 2004 EAST-WEST CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES NEW JERSEY CLERKS VS LAS VEGAS JOKERS The Clerks will try to continue their amazing run this season, while the Jokers, with ace Phillip McGee waiting to strike, will try and move on to the League Championship. During the regular season, the season series was nearly split, with the Clerks winning 9 games and the Jokers winning 8. GAME 1 - Juan Pearson absolutely shuts the door on the Jokers, and the Clerks provide plenty of offense as they roll to victory 8-0 in Game 1. A 4-run 2nd inning for the Clerks, highlighted by Jimmy Obanion's 2-run homerun gave the Clerks an early 4-0 lead, and they never let go. Frederick McConnell stayed in the game for 5 1/3 innings, giving up 7 runs, 6 of them earned and taking the loss. GAME 2 - Phillip McGee hits the mound and the fortunes reverse for the Jokers, as they win 6-2. McGee pitches 7 1/3 innings for the win, while Milford Glenn takes the loss, giving up 6 runs in 6 innings. Benito Delgado and Christopher Silveira both hit homeruns for the Jokers. GAME 3 - The series moves to New Jersey, as the Jokers take a 4-1 lead going into the bottom of the 9th. Tony Marquez, who had amassed 34 saves during the season, comes in to close the door on the Clerks. A leadoff single by Wilford Linn and a walk issued to Roberto Alcaraz led to Ed Snyder coming up to the plate with 2 outs and the game on the line, representing the game-tying run. 401 feet later, the game is tied. With the game tied 4-4, Richard Morales comes in to try and stop the bleeding, and quickly gives up a single to Cosme Olmos. Samuel Fradera replaces Morales, but it's no use, as Roberto Fiol doubles down the right field line, allowing Olmos to score from first to win the game for the Clerks. GAME 4 - Disenchanted after a tough loss in Game 3, Frederick McConnell hit the mound once again for the Jokers. He once again faltered, surrendering 4 earned runs in 5 2/3 innings. In the bottom of the 8th, the New Jersey Clerks blew it open with a 5-run bottom of the 8th inning, capped off by a 3-run homerun by none other than, you guessed it, Ed Snyder. Juan Pearson gets the win, once again, going 6 1/3 innings and giving up 2 earned runs. GAME 5 - With the Jokers on the ropes, the Clerks looked for the improable win, and a chance to party at home with the fellow Clerks fans. However, the champagne was not readied yet, as Phillip McGee was on the mound. Danny Martinez hit a bases loaded double to bring everybody home and give the Jokers an early 3-0 lead. In the bottom half of the inning, however, Frank Grove and Roberto Alcaraz hit back-to-back homeruns, a 2-run and solo shot, respectively, tying the game at 3-3, as McGee seemed to be faltering. Christopher Silveira sent a 2-run homerun down the left field line, giving Las Vegas the lead back at 5-3. For a moment, everything was calm. Then Roberto Alcaraz did it again. A 3-run homerun this time, and New Jersey was suddenly in the lead. Clearly, Phillip McGee was not in control of his game anymore. Yet he remained. Finally, after New Jersey scored two more runs in the bottom of the 5th, McGee was finally pulled for Tony Prevost. But the damage had already been done. The Clerks added 3 runs in the bottom of the 6th, and strung together 4 more runs. Final score: Clerks 15, Jokers 5. McGee takes a rare loss, and Milford Glenn picks up the victory despite giving up 5 runs on 6 hits. Roberto Alcaraz was declared player of the game for his 2 homerun performance, but the clear MVP of the series was Ed Snyder, who came up with two clutch 3-run homeruns, and drove in an amazing 11 RBI to catapult New Jersey to the League Championship. 2004 NORTH-SOUTH CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES HOUSTON HORNY TOADS VS VANCOUVER VASECTOMY Houston tries to knock off the favorites in the playoffs in the Vasectomy. During the season, Vancouver won 10 games, and Houston won 7 in the season series. GAME 1 - The Horny Toads score at least once in 6 of 9 innings as they roll over the Vasectomy 13-7. Zachariah Orlowski hit two homeruns in the game, driving in 5 runs, and Marlin Pilcher went 3-for-5, driving in 4 runs. Zoilo Castillo drove in 3 runs for the Vasectomy, but it wasn't enough to knock off the Horny Toads. GAME 2 - David Clyne gives up 4 runs in the first 3 innings to Vancouver, but he shuts the door after that, and with the score tied 4-4, Moises Ramirez doubles down the left field line to score Bernard Valer and give the Horny Toads a lead they do not relinquish, wiping out the home field advantage of the Vasectomy. Vasectomy ace Tito Aquino takes the loss, giving up 5 runs as Bernard Valer goes 3-for-4 with 3 RBI, including a two-run homerun and an RBI triple. GAME 3 - The series goes to Houston, and both teams explode for a combined 23 runs, as Vancouver comes out on top 14-9. 4 Vasectomy players drive in multiple RBIs, as player of the game Allen Peasley leads the way with 3 RBI, all of them coming from his 4th inning 3-run homerun that made the score 10-2 Houston and put the game out of reach. Emmett Combs lasts 1 2/3 innings, giving up 7 earned runs in the loss. GAME 4 - Melchor Betancourt injuries himself while pitching, but the bullpen shuts the door on the Vasectomy, putting Vancouver on the edge of elimination with a 3-0 victory. Duane Navarro gives up all 3 Houston runs, as Jose Torres drives in 2 runs to earn player of the game honors. GAME 5 - Jose Torres does it again, hitting a 3-run homerun that was the highlight of a 5 run Horny Toad bottom of the 2nd. David Clyne did the rest, picking up a victory once again as Tito Aquino chokes in the big game once again. Co-MVPs this time around, as Jose Torres and David Clyne share the honors for the Horny Toads. Torres bats .409 in the series, and Clyne goes 2-0 with 2 great outings.

Guest Evolution Report post Posted October 20, 2003 2004 SFBL LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP HOUSTON HORNY TOADS VS NEW JERSEY CLERKS A matchup that few likely saw coming at the beginning of the season, the Clerks and Horny Toads meet in a battle to find the second champion in league history. These two teams have never met. GAME 1 - With runners on the corners and no outs in the top of the 1st, Tommy Springs came up to the plate for the New Jersey Clerks, poised to strike first. He grounded into a double play, but John Gray scored from third to give New Jersey their first run of the game. Two consecutive walks would be issued to Jimmy Obanion and Wilford Linn. Suddenly, a Frank Grove single scores Obanion from second and sends Linn to third. Runners on the corners again, this time for Roberto Alcaraz. Home. Run. Roberto whomps a 430 foot shot to deep center field, giving New Jersey a commanding 5-0 lead in the top of the 1st. Fast forward to the bottom of the 4th, Houston comes up to the plate, and with two outs and Brandon Musselwhite on third Bernard Valer. Another homerun to deep center field, and this one cuts the Clerks' lead to 3. Top of the 5th, and the Clerks respond right back. Jimmy Obanion doubles to deep center field, as Ed Snyder and Roberto Fiol score to make it 7-2. Emmett Combs is pulled for Thomas Hawkes, and Wilford Linn singles home Tommy Springs and Jimmy Obanion as Obanion beats the tag home. Roberto Alcaraz strikes again and scores Wilford Linn with a two-out double to deep right field to make the score of 10-2. After the seven-inning stretch, Donnie Avent scores Moises Ramirez from third on a fielder's choice with one out, making the score 10-3. Gary Newbill's single in the bottom of the 8th scores Bernard Valer from second and gets New Jersey starter Thomas Nino out of the game, but it is clear that the Horny Toads are simply running out of time in the game. Eddie Barragan retires three straight Horny Toads in the bottom of the 9th, and the Clerks destroy Houston 10-4. W - Thomas Nino (2-0, 7.1 IP, 9 H, 4 ER) L - Emmett Combs (0-2, 4.1 IP, 5 H, 8 ER) Player of the Game - Roberto Alcaraz (2-4, 4 RBI, 3-run-HR) GAME 2 Juan Pearson (2-0) vs. Melchor Betancourt (0-0) Pearson, who has been hot this entire postseason, goes up against Betancourt, who is returning to the rotation after being injured. This time it is Houston who strikes first, as Jose Torres hits a leadoff solo homerun to make it 1-0. Bottom of the 2nd: Marlin Pilcher scores Gary Newbill from first, and Clinton Kelly hits a two-run homerun to make it 4-0. With two outs, Jose Torres comes up and drills Pearson again with a solo homerun that travels 433 feet. Suddenly, at the end of two innings, it is 5-0 Horny Toads. Houston returns in the bottom of the 5th, and after a throwing error from the catcher after Moises Ramirez steals second, Moises is on third as Jose Torres finishes his at-bat by reaching base on an infield hit, scoring Moises and making it 6-0. Donnie Avent strikes out swinging, but Brandon Musselwhite does quite the opposite, taking Juan Pearson out of the game with a 2-run homerun that makes the score 8-0. Jose Torres is just bad luck for New Jersey, as Luis Canales throws a wild pitch that scores Gary Newbill from third: 9-0 Houston. Top of the 9th, and Melchor Betancourt is still holding his own against the Clerks. In fact, he's held them to three hits. However, when pinch hitter James Rigg singles to right field, Earl Joyner comes in. Just like that, Wilford Linn grounds into a fielders' choice that ends the game! W - Melchor Betancourt (1-0, 8.2 IP, 4 H, 0 ER, 14 K) L - Juan Pearson (2-1, 4.1 IP, 7 H, 7 ER, 4 HR allowed) Player of the Game - Melchor Betancourt (Career high in strikeouts) GAME 3 David Clyne (2-0) vs. Milford Glenn (1-1) Clyne hits the mound for the Horny Toads, and most Clerks fans are automatically worried as the Rocket Wrist candidate hits the mound. Clerks' fans are given nothing to cheer about when Marlin Pilcher doubles home Gary Newbill from second. Moises Ramirez singles home Marlin two batters later, and Jose Torres makes New Jersey fans miserable with an RBI double. 3-0 Houston going into the bottom of the 2nd. That score sticks until the top of the 8th, when Donnie Avent doubles, Brandon Musselwhite sacrifices him to third, and Zachariah Orlowski singles him home. 4-0 Houston, and David Clyne is kicking ass. Bottom of the 9th, David Clyne has it all under control, allowing only a single to Jimmy Obanion, and shutting down the heart of the Clerks' order to win Game 3. W - David Clyne (3-0, CG, 5 H, 0 ER, 8 K) L - Milford Glenn (1-2, 8 IP, 9 H, 4 ER, 6 K) Player of the Game - David Clyne (Only threw 102 pitches) GAME 4 Emmett Combs (0-2) vs. Thomas Nino (2-0) Things are not looking up for Houston as they send Combs to the mound against Nino, who has been consistent, though not exactly great this postseason. Bottom of the first, and Tommy Springs hits an RBI single that scores John Gray from second, giving New Jersey an early 1-0 lead. Houston takes the lead in the top of the 2nd, however, as Marlin Pilcher takes Thomas Nino deep and gone to deep center field with a 3-run homerun that scores Gary Newbill and Zachariah Orlowski. Top of the third, and Marlin Pilcher is back to the plate with one out and runners on first and second. Pilcher strikes out looking, and argues the call. See ya! Pilcher is ejected, a huge blow to the Houston squad as some question what the Horny Toad was thinking. However, the very next batter is Clinton Kelly, who ejects a single to left-center, scoring Zachariah Orlowski from second. Thomas Nino is pulled for Jesse Rowles, who promptly gives up an RBI single to Moises Ramirez, scoring Gary Newbill. Houston adds another run with Bernard Vader's RBI single that scores Donnie Avent. 7-1 Houston after 3 1/2 innings. Then, in the bottom of the 4th, the Clerks have enough. Hell, they're not even supposed to be here today. Roberto Alcaraz reaches base to do an outfield error, which scores Wilford Linn and makes it 7-2 Houston. The bases are loaded as Ed Snyder and John Gray strike out in succession. With two outs, Roberto Fiol steps up and singles to the gap, scoring Frank Grove and Roberto Alcaraz. Tommy Springs gives Mitchel Spillane and Roberto Fiol the go-ahead to come on down and doubles them home, making the score 7-6 Houston! Emmett Combs is gone, and in comes Mark Tulley. Tulley gives up a single to Jimmy Obanion which scores Tommy Springs, and the score is tied as Tulley escapes the inning alive. The top of the 7th arrives, and with it comes the Horny Toads. Jose Torres singles down the first base line with the bases loaded, scoring Basil Perdomo and Clinton Kelly. Eddie Barragan comes in for Alex Binder, and the new pitcher doesn't do much better, as Brandon Musselwhite singles home Eddie Morabito and Jose Torres to make the score 11-7. One inning later, and Clinton Kelly sacrifices a run home Runners on the corners for Jose Torres...you guessed it. Single to the gap in right-center, Perdomo scores, and it's 13-7. Donnie Avent singles home Eddie Morabito, and Houston is now doubling up the Clerks 14-7 going into the bottom of the 8th. In the top of the 9th, Houston gets a chance to score some insurance runs. And boy, do they ever. Clinton Kelly singles home Zachariah Orlowski and Bernard Valer, as Luis Canales comes in to try and stop the bleeding. Too late. Jose Torres singles to left-center with two outs and scores Gary Newbill, and Donnie Avent hits a TRIPLE, scoring Kelly and Torres. The score? Houston 19, New Jersey 7. Sam Matherne, who came on in relief for Houston, retired Ed Snyder, John Gray, and Roberto Fiol in order, as Houston crushes New Jersey once again, putting them on the brink of elimination. W - Mark Tulley (2-0, 2.2 IP, 2 H, 0 ER) L - Alex Binder (0-1, 1 IP, 1 H, 4 ER, 3 BB) Player of the Game - Jose Torres (4-for-7, 5 RBI (career high)) GAME 5 Melchor Betancourt (1-0) vs. Juan Pearson (2-1) Pearson is looking for revenge after being ousted early in his last start, will he get it against the high scoring Horny Toads? Top of the 1st: Zachariah Orlowski doubles down the right field line, come on down Musselwhite, 1-0 Houston. Top of the 2nd: Clinton Kelly singles to right, Gary Newbill scores from second, it's 2-0 Houston. Bottom of the 3rd: Ed Snyder finally finds his stroke again, hitting a solo homerun off Betancourt to make it 2-1 Houston. Top of the 4th: The floodgates open, as Clinton Kelly doubles home Marlin Pilcher, Moises Ramirez doubles home Kelly, and Donnie Avent sacrifices Ramirez home on a groundball. Bottom of the 4th: 5-1 Houston until Wilford Linn hits an RBI single to bring in Jimmy Obanion. Houston 5, New Jersey 2 Top of the 7th: Pinch hitter James Woody singles home Zachariah Orlowski, and Marlin Pilcher singles home Bernard Valer. Juan Pearson is out before Zachariah Orlowski is even walked with one out. Moises Ramirez triples down the right field line, Woody and Pilcher score. Houston 9, New Jersey 2. Top of the 9th: Marlin Pilcher scores David Boer from third with a sacrifice fly after Boer hits a leadoff triple, Donnie Avent brings Ramirez and Kelly home and Musselwhite doubles to bring home Avent. Houston 13, New Jersey 2. Bottom of the 9th: Melchor Betancourt on in the bottom of the 9th to finish the complete game and the series. James Rigg grounds out. Wilford Linn grounds out. Frank Grove strikes out. Ballgame. End of series. End of season. Horny Toads WIN! W - Melchor Betancourt (2-0, CG, 4 H, 2 ER) L - Juan Pearson (2-2, 6.1 IP, 8 H, 4 ER) Player of the Game: Melchor Betancourt (zero walks) League Championship MVP: Jose Torres and Melchor Betancourt, without a doubt. Torres terrorized the Clerks throughout the series, driving in 16 RBI in a series where the Horny Toads absolutely dominated when they won. Betancourt came on in the clutch, when it counted, pitching 17.2 innings of scoreless baseball. Simply beautiful. East-West Fresh Fish Award: Cyrus Seemann (BOS)! He had a record of 11-16 with an ERA of 5.42. In 35 games started, he pitched 225.2 innings, fanning 139 and walking 123 batters. North-South Fresh Fish Award: RJ Frost (VAN)!

Guest Evolution Report post Posted October 26, 2003 SFBL 2005 East-West Conference Bums Get A Spare East Conference Title The Bums captured their first East Conference Title, finishing with a 97-65 record. Last year's East Conference Champions the New Jersey Clerks finished at a disappointing 75-87, finishing third in what was likely the weakest division this season. New York Bums Last Year: 82-80, 3rd place in the East Star Hitters: Valentin Rivera (.327, 41 HR, 137 RBI), Clement Nations (.338, 28 HR, 99 RBI) Star Pitchers: Randy Delong (21-13, 3.61 ERA), Russell Gray (20-9, 3.08 ERA, 220 Ks) What Went Right: Acquiring Valentin Rivera during free agency, having one of the best pitching staffs in the SFBL, Clement Nations nearly capturing another batting title What Went Wrong: Little to nothing Baltimore Crime Spree: Last Year: 85-77, 2nd place in the East Star Hitters: Joel Masahide (.229, 40 HR, 107 RBI), J.C. Morello (.330, 17 HR, 92 RBI) Star Pitchers: Ben "Pistol" Eastin (19-9, 2.86 ERA, 222 Ks), Francisco Vives (11-7, 34 saves, 3.24 ERA) What Went Right: Signing Vives in the offseason, solid power numbers from Joel Masahide and Michael Santiago What Went Wrong: The second-to-worst team batting average in the SFBL, and the 12th-ranked team ERA; losing Samuel Sainz to free agency. New Jersey Clerks: Last Year: 86-76, 1st place in the East, East-West Conference Champions Star Hitters: Tommy Springs (.299, 23 HR, 101 RBI) Star Pitchers: Constantino Santoro (14-9, 3.79 ERA), Thomas Nino (15-11, 4.10 ERA) What Went Right: Tommy Springs and Wilford Linn turning in respectable performances on the hitting side of things What Went Wrong: Most of the other batters were awful, also the Clerks had one of the worst pitching staffs in the SFBL. Philadelphia Freedom: Last Year: 68-94, 5th place in the East Star Hitters: Ramon Merino (.288, 23 HR, 112 RBI) Star Pitchers: Joel Alvarado (16-11, 4.05 ERA) What Went Right: Joel Alvarado and the rest of the pitching staff turning in a respectable team ERA. What Went Wrong: John Hanes (9-24, 5.57 ERA), and an absolutely pitiful offense Boston Tea Baggers: Last Year: 73-89, 4th place in the East Star Hitters: Sergio Santana (.301, 39 HR, 120 RBI), William Allen (.239, 24 HR, 100 RBI) Star Pitchers: None What Went Right: Sergio Santana putting up solid numbers once again, a team that drew 600 walks. What Went Wrong: Pitching staff? What pitching staff? Also, trading a solid hitter in John Duran didn't help. Jokers are Kings of the West For the second consecutive season, the Las Vegas Jokers are in the postseason with a 99-63 record. There was little competition from the other teams in the division, with the nearest competition being the Denver Douchebags, who finished at 88-74. Las Vegas Jokers: Last Year: 90-72, 1st place in the West Star Hitters: Christopher Silveira (.308, 23 HR, 107 RBI), Lino Saenz (.251, 25 HR, 85 RBI) Star Pitchers: Phillip McGee (20-6, 2.60 ERA, 298 Ks), James Ellis (16-8, 2.89 ERA, 230 Ks) What Went Right: Having one of the best pitching staffs in the SFBL certainly helped: #1 in Team ERA, Opponent Batting Average, Walks Allowed and Runs Allowed; Christopher Silveira also had a good year. What Went Wrong: The hitting was a little on the lackluster side as far as batting average goes. Denver Douchebags: Last Year: 87-75, 2nd place in the West Star Hitters: Jeffrey Goodloe (.273, 42 HR, 137 RBI), David Zullo (.263, 37 HR, 131 RBI), Luis Amezcua (.331, 21 HR, 100 RBI) Star Pitchers: Erwin Milton (17-8, 3.57 ERA) What Went Right: A very solid offense and pitching staff; 4th best team batting average and 6th best team ERA. What Went Wrong: The pitching staff wasn't enough to give the Douchebags the wins they needed down the stretch Seattle Frasiers: Last Year: 85-77, 3rd place in the West Star Hitters: Keith Cooperman (.297, 31 HR, 100 RBI), Edgar Clune (.293, 16 HR, 115 RBI) Star Pitchers: John Gunderson (20-9, 3.80 ERA) What Went Right: John Gunderson and Keith Cooperman put up great numbers, and the offense was overall solid. What Went Wrong: The rest of the pitching staff besides John Gunderson stunk the bullpen up. TSM Player: Giant Gonzalez (3-1, 4.73 ERA) mostly worked relief after bouncing in and out of the minor leagues. Phoenix Ashes: Last Year: 70-92, 5th place in the West Star Hitters: Shiro Suzuki (.334, 16 HR, 114 RBI), Quentin Brown (.353, 32 HR, 125 RBI) Star Pitchers: Andre Rodrigues (17-13, 3.96 ERA) What Went Right: Shiro Suzuki and Quentin Brown had breakout years on offense, on a team that could really string together hits What Went Wrong: A weak pitching staff really hurt the Ashes in the end. Los Angeles Glory Holes: Last Year: 84-78, 4th place in the West Star Hitters: Gordon Mingo (.243, 28 HR, 101 RBI), Robert Reiley (.267, 22 HR, 71 RBI) Star Pitchers: Sergio Sarabia (14-9, 3.05 ERA) What Went Right: A good enough pitching staff, though nothing to write home about, and a team that could hit the longball What Went Wrong: The team couldn't hit much else: 14th-ranked team batting average North-South Conference Transit Authority Run Over The Competition In North The Transit Authority are back in the postseason after a one-season absence, finishing with a record of 92-70, besting the second place team in the Columbus Pride by 8 games. Former North Champions Vancouver finished in third place with a 80-82. Chicago Transit Authority: Last Year: 83-79, 2nd place in the North Star Hitters: Samuel Sainz (.287, 59 HR, 153 RBI), Johnny Sheckler (.293, 36 HR, 116 RBI) Star Pitchers: Lazaro Arevalo (16-7, 3.52 ERA), Daniel Estill (17-10, 3.80 ERA, 269 Ks) What Went Right: Signing Samuel Sainz in the offseason definitely paid off, as well as a trade in mid-June that brought Johnny Sheckler to the Transit Authority. The pitching staff was also spectacular, allowing only 141 homeruns, 2nd place in that category. What Went Wrong: Not the fastest team around, and they still lost Randall Merz to free agency, which was a huge blow. Columbus Pride: Last Year: 78-84, 4th place in the North Star Hitters: Harry Ducharme (.286, 45 HR, 124 RBI) Star Pitchers: William Alexander (16-8, 3.70 ERA, 239 Ks), William Large (15-12, 4.31 ERA) What Went Right: The two William pitchers both had a good year, and Ducharme arguably provided enough offense to launch the Pride into second place. What Went Wrong: The rest of the pitching staff was less than outstanding, including Ben Dover (13-15, 4.58 ERA), who didn't produce nearly enough for this team. But the offense certainly didn't help the 10+-game losers. Vancouver Vasectomy: Last Year: 99-63, 1st place in the North Star Hitters: David Charboneau (.265, 41 HR, 111 RBI), R.J. Frost (.340, 17 HR, 92 RBI, 212 H) Star Pitchers: Tito Aquino (20-9, 3.07 ERA), Arthur Kriebel (12-9, 3.94 ERA) What Went Right: The two star hitters for the Vasectomy certainly put up great numbers, and Tito Aquino was definitely on this year as he was a 20-game winner. Needless to say, the trade for Charboneau was worth it. What Went Wrong: It's really hard to say. The team was an average hitting team but could stroke the longball with ease. The pitching staff isn't really to blame, either. Maybe next year will be a return to form for the Vasectomy. Detroit Motor Vehicles: Last Year: 81-81, 3rd place in the North Star Hitters: John Whitehead (.269, 32 HR, 112 RBI) Star Pitchers: Pedro Camacho (15-10, 3.33 ERA) What Went Right: Whitehead and Camacho were basically the highlights... What Went Wrong: For a below-average team. It's a miracle the Ignition were worse than them, because it doesn't get much worse than this. 16th-ranked team batting average, and they scored only 756 runs. Indianapolis Ignition: Last Year: 77-85, 5th place in the North Star Hitters: Alfred Padillo (.243, 23 HR, 103 RBI) Star Pitchers: None What Went Right: Well, at least they didn't lose 100 games. What Went Wrong: An absolutely horrid pitching staff, with a team ERA over 5.00 and 903 runs allowed. Maybe they need to raise the payroll a bit, because the fans aren't becoming very interested anytime soon. Horny Toads Leapfrog Over Competition...Again...in South Houston is back in the postseason for the second consecutive year after finishing with a 95-67 record. This wasn't even close, as the Eels finished in second place 9 games behind the 'Toads. Houston Horny Toads: Last Year: 89-73, 1st place in the North, League Champions Star Hitters: Zachariah "Hurricane" Orlowski (.336, 47 HR, 138 RBI, 200 H), Brandon Musselwhite (.319, 17 HR, 74 RBI, 193 H) Star Pitchers: Melchor Betancourt (20-10, 4.30 ERA), David Clyne (16-10, 3.77 ERA), Peter Reynosa (16-5, 3.11 ERA, 206 Ks) What Went Right: The offense was excellent, but the real story was the pitching staff, as Betancourt, Clyne, and Reynosa all did fantastic jobs, combined with a solid closer in Cedrick Fukusaburu (4-6, 40 saves) What Went Wrong: The pitching staff gave up a few too many homeruns (185), but besides that, it seems that another championship team is in the works. Memphis Eels: Last Year: 74-88, 4th place in the North Star Hitters: Robert Guarino (.277, 35 HR, 115 RBI), Benito Quiros (.307, 23 HR, 87 RBI, 191 H) Star Pitchers: Leonard Gioia (13-8, 4.84 ERA) What Went Right: Good years from Guarino and Quiros, Gioia kept the pitching staff afloat. What Went Wrong: A very slow team that didn't score very many runs (788, 11th ranked). Once again, a higher payroll could fix all those things, or it could just make it worse. Also, first round pick Alex Zenon (3-5, 5.37 ERA, 3-7 in AAA) didn't quite pan out like the Eels were hoping, despite a near no-hitter in his first start. Jacksonville Jackoffs: Last Year: 68-94, 5th place in the North Star Hitters: Herbert Huber (.328, 47 HR, 148 RBI), Thomas Lipps (.329, 9 HR, 86 RBI, 189 H) Star Pitchers: Jack Sustaita (15-13, 4.03 ERA) What Went Right: Huber won the Big Stick award with some great numbers, and Thomas Lipps also had a solid offensive season. What Went Wrong: The great offense of the Jackoffs, including the "Ghandinator" (.271, 7 HR, 62 RBI) wasn't enough to hide the fact that the pitching staff, particularly the bullpen, was no good. Still, an improvement from last season. Charlotte Harlots: Last Year: 76-86, 3rd place in the North Star Hitters: Freddie Gutierrez (.318, 27 HR, 96 RBI, 195 H) Star Pitchers: Joseph Rector (14-11, 3.57 ERA, 187 Ks) What Went Right: The trade for John Duran (.310, 19 HR, 74 RBI) was the right call, despite him being knocked out for 5 weeks at the end of the season. Freddie Gutierrez also put together a great year. What Went Wrong: Besides being able to put the bat on the ball, the Harlots' offense could do little else, and the pitching staff was just absolutely not there as the Harlots continue to slip down the standings. Atlanta Hanoi Janes: Last Year: 85-77, 2nd place in the North Star Hitters: Carlos DeSantis (.309, 31 HR, 99 RBI, 191 H) Star Pitchers: Leslie Felder (14-11, 3.57 ERA, 187 Ks) What Went Right: A healthy DeSantis spelled good news for the Hanoi Janes, as he produced good numbers. What Went Wrong: The rest of the Hanoi Janes, however, weren't very good at all. With a 20 game loser in Frederick McConnell, and a team with the worst team batting average in the entire league, there's no doubt that the Hanoi Janes certainly earned the last place spot.
