[Gray] Bats are pests.  If you were to scour the internet, you can find many different pages and videos of how to rid your home of this rodent with wings.  Here is a useful YouTube video describing some different methods available: Get Rid of Bats

We must exterminate this creature from our home (although we are actually the visiting team, but I think that Ross Township may appreciate our efforts), which is John Herb Field on Saturday morning.  Now, it is imperative that we arrive to the field early, as everyone knows that bats hunt in the early morning hours.  I recommend arriving between 6:45 and 7:00 a.m. for some BP in the cages and to warm-up.  In the previous meeting, it was clear that the Bulldog was not able to exterminate the [Gray] bats that invaded Springview Field on a Monday night.  Perhaps it was just too early in the evening to successfully overcome the bat population.  Thanks to careful scheduling, the Bulldogs will have the opportunity to capture the bats now in the early morning hours.  At any rate, it should be a good game, if the previous meeting was any indication.

 The Gray Bats blog stated that Iron Man David Wallis (pictured below) was to be their starter, hoping that his off-spead and various other garbage would keep the Dawgs off-balance.  What they don't know is that many Bulldogs are alcoholics and spend most of our days off-balance.  Anyway, the Gray Bat blog notes that Wallis could be lost for the season with a condition called hypercalcemia.  Bulldog nation hopes for the best outcome for Wallis, as he is a good dude.

If Wallis is unable to go, one would think that the Bulldogs would see Sorosky or Altmyer.  Altmyer threw in the only game that the two teams squared off and came away as a 5-3 victor.  Both are above average pitchers.  I admit that I was happy to be on the same side as Sorosky as a member of the Pittsburgh Blues, but I look forward to an opportunity to face him, as he owns a pretty goofily garbaged off-speed pitch that makes people just look silly.

The Gray Bat offense is lead by Mark Lombardi (pictured below).  Not sure if he still wears the glasses or not.

Lombardi is knocking the shit out of the ball and holds some pretty impressive stats:

Batting Average: .460

Singles: 17

Doubles: 10
Triples:1

Home Runs:1
RBIs: 20

Ks: 9

I need a triple tomorrow.

As for the Bulldogs, who knows who will be on the hill.  Adam Phillip threw a complete extra-inning game against them and gave up five (5) runs - three of which were earned.  You have to like his chances, but the word on the street is that he is recovering from a bicep strain/pull in his throwing arm.  Rankin (pictured below - this picture, stolen from the Duck's blog, is actually titled "Rankin poses as a Ballerina.) and Morgan provide viable options, and one would think that whoever does not pitch on Saturday will get the start on Sunday agains the Ducks.

McCombie's status is unknown after suffering a leg injury from a complete lay-out on the soft grass at Findlay Township Sportsplex on a drive to center by some guy from the Owlzzzzz.  Note:  The annoying bitch in the stands for the Owlz, as well as the rest of their fans that cheered for the inside the park homerun, didn't even muster a clap or a cheer when McCombie walked off of the field under his own power - Classy.  I am getting off subject.  If McCombie is out, it is likely that Martin reassumes the duties at CF.

Notes:

-  Wino hit a 2-run homer off of Altmyer in the last meeting

-  The Bulldogs were plagued with errors throughout the game.  This cannot happen if we expect to win tomorrow.

-  I have broken five (5) bats in the last four games.

-  The Bulldogs Team leads the league in players with a Mohawk

-  Della-Penna needs to allow his to grow out into a Mohawk/Mullet/Rat-Tail combination.  That would look tits.

-  Will we ever have updated stats?

Come out to John Herb Field for the game tomorrow at 8am.  Bring your own Bloody Marys.
