Yes, you read that correctly. The Dodgers pulled off their first of hopefully many championships this past weekend. Things started off slowly with a 1-2 record on Saturday and some relatively silent bats. Playing with a 6-4 lineup and missing some big bats, Sunday morning still started off with an 11 run bang in the top of the first against the Blue Jays. Despite the good start, defensive woes contributed to a 14-13 loss, dropping the team to the B-side.

After a poor outing on Friday, which saw the Dodgers offense and defense struggle, the team rebounded with two solid wins against a good, fun Blue Jays squad. The Dodgers were playing a 5 and 5 lineup on Friday, but still a lineup that is normally capable of great things. Not to take anything away from a good Wind Burn team that is always fun to play (this reporter can't emphasize enough how fun it is to play teams that recognize this is a rec slo-pitch league and who have a douchiness factor of zero), but some weak hitting in game one and key defensive mistakes in a 7-inning game two, really cost the Dodgers. Prime Time Vagine was the default male player of the game thanks to his consistent pitching, while the evil one herself was the lone bright spot on the team, putting together another solid offensive night during this current hot streak of hers.

While this reporter was away battling mosquitoes and boredom, the Dodgers just kept on rolling. They followed up two wins over Master Batters with a tightly contested sweep over the always entertaining Oh Crud! In between all of that, they finished the May Tournament Playoffs amid some controversy. It would seem the league neglected to mention that the winner of the first game had to play again immediately in their emailed schedule while the loser didn't. Playing 5 and 5, the Dodgers showed what has become consistently solid defense on their way to a victory, then had to run back to the diamond after leisurely making their way to the clubhouse for an assumed break and were unprepared for game action. The first two innings showed just how unprepared the Dodgers were after committing too many errors to count on their way to an embarassing loss. While it's understandable when there are an uneven number of teams that back-to-back games are sometimes necessary in tournaments and teams are used to playing double headers for regular season games (because they expect them), if it's going to be the very first game of the day then a little warning shouldn't be too much to ask for.

Well, it's been a while, but the Dodgers finally got to play some ball and wash away the lingering odour of crap permeating the dressing room after the embarassment that was Slugger Friday. Of course, I did use the port-a-potty as my dressing room this weekend, so at least some of the smell continued to linger.
