| Posted Aug 18/11 - Tues 8/16, Coors Light wins a thriller in 9 |
Ryan Ostiguy’s SF in the top of the 9th scored Ichiro Robillard (who had tripled to lead off the inning) and put Coors Light up for good in a 22-20 back and forth brawl (which featured six lead changes) with 2nd place Hive Tuesday Night. The Hive left the bases loaded in the 9th and also stranded the game winning run on base in each of the last three frames. The dramatic win put a cap on Coors Light’s best regular season (19-9) since 2003 (22-7). The squad finished the year with an impressive 17-3 record against division opponents. The Coors Light offense, without its typical 3/4/5 hitters, did not skip a beat; reaching base 34 times (24 hits/11 base on balls) with 9 of the 10 hitters reaching base at least three times. Coach Voci achieved player of the game (in a tight race); reaching base 5 times and picking up the win on the hill. Pete “El Caballito” Robillard (15 for his last 15) was also a key contributor (again); knocking in four. Lastly, John Powers chipped in with another important 2-3 (with 2 BB) performance at the bottom of the order. Ichiro Robillard 3-5, 3B, BB, 3 RBI Ryan Ostiguy 1-3, 2 SF, 4 RBI Scott Umbrianna 4-6, 2 2B, 3 RBI Smokey Wiener 1-4, 2B, 2 BB, 2 RBI Joe Voci 4-5, 2B, BB, RBI Aaron Benedetti 2-4, 2 2B, BB, RBI Pete Robillard 1-1, 2 BB, 2 SF, 4 RBI John Powers 2-3, 2 BB, RBI Voci improved to 5-6 on the season, as the defense (led by Ostiguy, with 2 highlight reel grabs in extra innings and the solid play by 1B Powers) played relatively well (8 good innings, 1 disastrous inning). Pete Robillard also contributed with another airmail throw which cleared the backstop (his 2nd career backstop airmail; no one else in the league has one (ever)). Coors Light (#1 seed) now awaits its first round opponent (Bogarts and Moe’s will play two Thursday night to determine the 4 seed), as they begin the post season next week (schedule TBD) and look for their 3rd BMSL B division title. Regular season leaders (final): AVG: Pete .692, Umbie .683, Nichols .667 OBP: Umbie .723, Nichols .710, Pete .706 OPS: Buff 2.092, Umbie 1.845, Nichols 1.818 H : Nichols 62, Umbie 56, Ichiro 50 R: Nichols 53, Voci 44, Ichiro 42 RBI: Nichols 59, Buff 43, Perkins/Umbie 40 HR: Antonetti 9, Buff 6, Perkins/Umbie 5 |

| Posted Aug 10/11 - Tues 8/9, another comeback win for Coors Light |
Joe Nichols’ 2 out 2B in the 6th plated 2 and put Coors Light up for good, as the team battled back from deficits of 8-1 and 15-11 to defeat a pesky Bogart’s team 21-15. The 6th was a big inning for Coors Light, as they put up 10 runs; all with two out. The victory pushed Coors Light’s magic number to 1, as they look to capture their 3rd division title in 13 BMSL seasons. Coors Light could take the field division champs tonight with a Hive loss at 7:45. They can also clinch by taking down the Hive at 8:45, as the regular season concludes. The Coors Light offense was again up/down but it came through with the game on the line. Pete “El Caballito” Robillard was again the star, as he continued his breakout season (which has been in the works for ten years). Pete’s 5-5 performance bolstered his average to an amazing, team leading .688 (slightly above his .461 career mark). John Powers chipped in with an equally important 3-3 perfect night (combined with a BB). Ichiro Robillard 3-5, 2B, 3RBI Scott Umbrianna 2-5, 2B, 3RBI Jim Antonetti 3-5, 2B, RBI Steve Perkins 3-5, RBI Pete Robillard 5-5, 2B, 3B, 2RBI Ryan Ostiguy 1-4, BB, 3B, RBI Smokey Wiener 1-3, BB(#17) Joe Voci 2-3, BB(#21), 3RBI John Powers 3-3, BB, 2RBI Perkins improved to 10-2 on the season, as the defense was let’s just say: “typical”.

| Posted Aug 4/11 - WEDNESDAY 8/3-ROBILLARD SLAMS TPG |
Pete Robillard belted a Grand Slam to put Coor's Light up 18-17 in the top of the 7th inning. The HR was Pete's second HR in two innings and sparked Coor's Light to an 8 run inning and eventually a 22-19 victory over a pesky TPG team. Coor's Light battled back several times during the game, falling behind 11-3 after three innings, and 16-14 after six innings. Ichiro Robillard (2B, 3B, 2R) and Nate Horsman (2B, 3RBI and 2R) had five hit performances and were only outshadowed by Pete Robillard's heroics. Chad Horsman (2B, HR, 2RBI and 3R) added four hits in his 2011 Coor's Light debut. Scott Umbrianna (2-2B, 3RBI, 3R and a Sac) and Joe Voci chipped in with three hits. Despite a broken glove, a powdery field, shitty teammates and a Bud Light before the game, Cowboy DJ Steve Perkins-Smith (9-2) was victorious once again on the mound. Perkins struck out two batters over 7 innings and was a defense away from a no hitter. Joe Nichols (Story Land) and Smokey Wiener (Smoker's Camp Instructor) were both absent from the game. Despite missing the two veterans Coor's Light still prevailed.

| Posted Aug 2/11 - Mon 8/1, Coors Light routs Bogarts |
|
Despite only playing with nine, Coors Light easily defeated Bogarts (8-14) 28-14 in a shortened five inning affair Monday Night. The win moved Coors Light to 13-9 on the year and pulled them a half game in front of idle 2nd place The Hive. The Coors Light offense was in a word, amazing; putting up 30 hits in only 39 at bats (for a .769 AVG). The team supplemented those 30 hits with 7 more base on balls, as the team achieved an incredible .804 OBP on the night. Virtually everyone chipped in to the victory, as 7 of the 9 Coors Light hitters reached base at least four times. Captain Joe Voci's 3 additional walks put him at 19 for the season (an all time Coors Light record); breaking the 17 free passes attained by Buff Robillard last year.
Ryan Ostiguy 3-4, 2 BB, 2RBI Buff Robillard 3-6, 2 2B, 3RBI Jim Antonetti 4-5, 2B Scott Umbrianna 3-3, BB, 2B, HR (#5), 5RBI Pete Robillard 5-5, 3RBI Aaron Benedetti 5-5, 2 2B, 3RBI Joe Voci 2-2, 3 BB, 2B, 5RBI John Powers 4-5, 2B, 4RBI Captain Voci improved to 4-6 on the season, striking out two opposing batters on the way to the victory. After the game, Chris Washburn was placed on irrevocable waivers; screwing the team for the last time (with yet another: I’ll be there/no call/no show).

| Posted Jul 28/11 - Wed 7/27, Coors Light hangs on for a split |
|
In a playoff type atmosphere, Coors Light blew a one run lead in the 7th of Game 1 (a 20-17 loss) and almost blew a 5 run 7th inning lead in Game 2; but snuck out with a 20-19 victory (with the opposition leaving the tying and winning runs on base). The split against Central (9-13) moved Coors Light to 12-9 on the year; as the team remained in a statistical tie for first place with The Hive (13-10).
Though the offense put up 37 runs on the night, it remained inconsistent (putting up 1 run or less in 7 of the 14 innings played). As has been the case throughout the year, Coors Light relied heavily on the big inning (scoring 6/7 runs in 4 innings) to power their offense. Scott Umbrianna (13 for his last 14) led the offense, as the opposition failed to get him out all night.
Steve Perkins 1-7, BB, RBI Buff Robillard 3-6, BB, SF, 2B, 2RBI Jim Antonetti 4-8, 3HR (#7/#8/#9), 5RBI Scott Umbrianna 8-8, 4 2B, HR (#4), 5RBI Ichiro Robillard 2-6, 2 BB Ryan Ostiguy 3-8, RBI Aaron Benedetti 1-5, 2 BB, 2RBI Smokey Wiener 1-5, 2 BB, 3RBI Joe Voci 3-6, BB, 2B, 3RBI Chris Washburn 3-6, BB, 2B, 3B, 5RBI
Perkins (8-2) took the loss in the opener and the victory in the finale, as he consistently threw strikes and fielded his position like an all star.
John Powers (hand) was a late scratch due to an arterial puncture. Powers was to see an “Asian specialist” Thursday morning, where he hoped to get some soothing relief.

| Posted Jul 26/11 - Mon 7/25, Not a good night for Coors Light |
|
Things were looking promising for Coors Light when the opposition took the field with only seven fielders (later adding an 8th) Monday Night. However, Coors Light could not take advantage of the gaping holes in the defense; as they left an astounding 14 runners stranded (twice leaving the bases loaded). The bitter defeat dropped Coors Light to 11-8 on the season, as they narrowly held on to 1st place in the B division.
The offense was in a word, pathetic; managing only 2 walks, 6 extra base hits, and a .538 AVG on the night against the shorthanded defense. The team simply would not/could not adjust their style to take advantage of the Moe’s three man infield (supplemented by perhaps the league’s worst fielding pitcher), recording a ridiculous 14 outs via the fly ball. Smokey Wiener tried to lead by example; putting up another 4-4 night and improving his team leading OBP to .743 (52-70). However, the Coors Light batters more often than not just did what they normally do.
Ichiro Robillard 1-5, RBI Buff Robillard 1-2, 2 BB, SF, 3B, RBI Jim Antonetti 2-4, SF, 2RBI Scott Umbrianna 3-4, RBI Bobby McCarthy 2-3, SF, 3B, RBI Joe Voci 0-4, K Smokey Wiener 4-4, RBI John Powers 2-4 Pete Robillard 2-4
Captain Voci fell to 3-6 on the season, as he held Moe’s in check until the last two frames (when the Coors Light defense fell apart).

| Posted Jul 20/11 - Tues 7/19, Coors Lt management the star of the night |
|
Faced with the prospect of playing with only eight, Coors Light management worked the phones for about an hour pregame and was finally able to obtain a full roster only seconds before first pitch (which thankfully wound up being 45 minutes late).
The addition of Nate Horsman and the Conlon brothers propelled Coors Light to an easy 22-7 5 inning victory over Bogarts. The win improved Coors Light to 11-7 (10-1 against B teams), as they held on to a narrow one game (first place) lead over The Hive.
The offense was on fire and managed 25 hits over four plus innings (including 8 base on balls) for a .781 AVG on the night.
Ichiro Robillard 2-3, SF, RBI “DJ Cowboy Steve” Perkins 2-3, HR#5, SF, 5RBI Nate Horsman 4-4, 2 2B Al “Big Country” Conlon 1-3, BB, RBI Matt Conlon 3-3, 2B, 3B, SF, 4RBI Bobby McCarthy 1-2, BB, 2B, SF, 3RBI Joe Voci 2-3, BB, RBI Smokey Wiener 2-3, BB, 2B, DP, RBI John Powers 2-2, 2BB, 2RBI
Perkins improved to 7-1 on the season, as he continued to dominate B division opponents. Captain Voci (3-5, SV), normally relegated to facing A division teams, picked up the team’s 3rd save on season.
Few attended post game festivities, which, let’s just say were taken up a notch (as Coors Light’s acting team physician, in an attempt to ease the pain of a hamstring injury of a fellow teammate, explored/smoked a series of medicinal options as the two searched for a remedy).

| Posted Jul 16/11 - Thurs 7/14, Coors Lt drilled by Starrs |
|
Due to some last minute bailouts, Coors Light was forced to face A division powerhouse Starrs with only 8; not a recipe for success. Without a 2B and 4th outfielder, Starrs picked apart the Coors Light defense with ease. The outcome was a resounding 21-6 victory by the opposition, as Coors Light fell to 10-7 on the season (1-6 against A division teams). With the tough part of their ’11 schedule over, the team will now look to build on their narrow one game (first place) lead.
The offense did manage 14 hits over five innings; however, they could only secure a single extra base hit.
Ryan Ostiguy 2-3, BB Bobby McCarthy 2-4 Joe Voci 2-3 Smokey Wiener 2-3 John Powers 1-3 Aaron Benedetti 0-4, RBI
Captain Voci (3-5) fell to 0-4 on the season against A teams, as the Starrs’ hitters took full advantage of the Coors Light defensive alignment.
Coors Light (H) faces cellar dweller, TPG Monday @7:45; as 11 of the team’s final 12 games will be against B division opponents. |
| Posted Jul 11/11 - Fri 7/8, Coors Lt drops another to Lincoln |
|
Some untimely Coors Light errors and a horrendous two out safe call by Bruce the ump, enabled Lincoln Club to break open a close 10-5 contest with a 7 run 5th. The bad inning deflated Coors Light and essentially ended any promise of a comeback. The defeat dropped Coors Light to 10-6 on the year, as they continued to struggle against A division opponents (1-5).
The offense started where it left off last game, plating three in the initial frame; as Coors Light batted around for the third time this week. Unfortunately, the team could only manage eight hits and two runs the remainder of the contest.
Ichiro Robillard 1-3, BB Buff Robillard 2-4, 2B, 2RBI Bobby McCarthy 1-2, SF, RBI Ryan Ostiguy 2-3 Smokey Wiener 1-3, RBI John Powers 1-1, BB, SF, RBI Aaron Benedetti 0-2 Chris Washburn 0-2

| Posted Jul 6/11 - Wed 7/6, Coors Light wrecks The Hive |
|
Coors Light (10-5) sent 16 men to the plate in the 1st and another 15 in the 2nd, as they jumped out to a 20-1 advantage after the first two frames and cruised to a 29-6 beatdown against 2nd place The Hive (8-7). Coors Light continued to dominate B division foes; improving to 9-1 on the season.
The offense, now averaging over 20 runs/game and 23 hits/game, was once again firing on all cylinders. Four Coors Light hitters were perfect on the night, including Smokey Wiener who continued his breakout season at the age of 40 (and, improbably, is now tied for the team lead with an astounding .750 OBP).
Ichiro Robillard 3-5, 2RBI Buff Robillard 3-5, 2 2B, RBI Jim Antonetti 3-4, RBI Scott Umbrianna 2-3, BB, HR#3, RBI Pete Robillard 2-4, RBI Ryan Ostiguy 1-2, BB, SF, 3RBI Smokey Wiener 3-3, BB Bobby McCarthy 3-3, BB, 3RBI Chris Washburn 2-4, 2RBI Aaron Benedetti 1-2, BB, 2B, SF, 5RBI John Powers 2-3, 3RBI
Perkins (6-1) coasted to another easy win on the hill, as management shut him down after only 3 IP. Nichols (Hold #1) and Buff Robillard (Save #1) were summoned from the bullpen to close out the night.
Coors Light compiled their third straight quality hang; winning the parking lot wars, as the clock approached Thurs AM.
Once again without their captain, Coors Light (A) faces A division opponent Lincoln on Friday @7:45 (where, post game, drinking will commence for Voci's 40th celebration the following day). |
| Posted Jun 30/11 - Wed 6/29, Coors Lt holds onto 1st at the break |
|
Coors Light finished out the first half of the 2011 season 9-5 and a game up in first place, as they continued their pursuit of their third BMSL B league championship (’02, ’09).
As for the game on Wednesday, Coors Light dropped one to Emma’s 20-17; in a game that wasn’t as close as the score would indicate. Coors Light’s offense was inconsistent and their defense subpar, as the team continued to struggle against A division foes (1-4).
The offense, as mentioned, was inconsistent; as the team posted 13 of their runs in just three innings (and only four over the other four innings).
Ryan Ostiguy 2-4, 3RBI Steve Perkins 4-5, 2B, HR#4, 5RBI Jim Antonetti 2-5, 2HR#5/#6, 4RBI Scott Umbrianna 3-5, HR#2, RBI Bobby McCarthy 1-4 Smokey Wiener, 3-4 John Powers, 0-1, RBI Pete Robillard 2-2, 2B Captain Joe Voci 1-2, RBI Buff Robillard 1-2, BB, 2B, RBI
Perkins (5-1) suffered his first defeat of the year on the mound, as the Coors Light defense reverted to their old form.
On the positive, the team put together their second straight quality hang; highlighted by the consumption of local fare.
Without their captain, Coors Light (A) faces 2nd place The Hive (a team Coors has handled twice already) on Wednesday @8:45 in a battle for division supremacy. |
| Posted Jun 28/11 - Mon 6/27, Smokey’s streak ends at 18 |
|
Smokey Wiener’s epic streak (18 straight times reaching base) came to an end in his final at bat Monday Night, as Captain Joe Voci was forced out at second base on a controversial call. During the streak, Wiener raised his OBP an amazing 219 points and bumped his average 172 points. Wiener finally appears to be reaching the potential that made him a Coors Light first round selection back in 1997.
Lost in all the frenzy surrounding Wiener’s streak, was a solid win by Coors Light. Consistent hitting/pitching combined with uncharacteristic solid defense, propelled the squad to a 15-11 over The Hive. The team’s fifth consecutive win moved them to 9-4 on the season and solidified their hold on first place, as they continued to beat up on their division foes (8-1).
The offensive production was once again a team effort, as nine players reached base at least twice and ten had at least one RBI (as the team average held at .600).
Steve Perkins 2-4, 2B, 3RBI Buff Robillard 2-3, 2B, 3B, 2RBI Jim Antonetti 3-3, 2 2B, 2RBI Ichiro Robillard 1-2, SF, RBI Pete Robillard 2-3, 2B, RBI Ryan Ostiguy 2-3, 2B, 2RBI Scott Umbrianna 2-3, 2B, 2RBI Chris Washburn 0-3 Aaron Benedetti 0-3 Captain Joe Voci 2-2, BB Smokey Wiener, 2-3 John Powers, 1-3, RBI
Perkins was once again masterful on the hill and improved to a perfect 5-0 on the year.
Led by Umbie, Powers, Ostiguy, Pete Robillard, and Nichols, the team rebounded nicely from their worst post game hang of the year last week.

| Posted Jun 21/11 - Mon 6/20, Smokey! Smokey! Smokey! |
|
Smokey Wiener’s epic streak continued Monday night, as for the 4th game in a row, the opposition failed to retire Wiener; as he reached base 5 more times to extend his streak to an unbelievable 16 straight plate appearance reaching base safely (via hit or walk). Wiener’s confidence seemed to build as the game progressed, as even in the face of a growing crowd (all of whom knew history was in the making), he did not falter. During the amazing run, Smokey has gone 11-11 with 5BB, 11R, and 9RBI (and has seen his OBP bulge to an eye popping .733).
And if that wasn’t enough, the kid also picked up the win on the hill (1-0); striking out two and keeping the Moe’s batters off balance all night. He was officially charged with 16 runs over 7, but many of those came courtesy of multiple inning extending errors by SS Joe Nichols.
All in all a memorable night down at the ballpark, as Smokey easily picked up player of the game honors (playing perhaps his best overall game ever in BMSL play).
The 28-16 victory pushed Coors Light (8-4) into sole possession of first place, as they continued to tear up B division pitching (averaging 26R and 26H over their last 4).
Buff Robillard and late fill in Nate Horseman both had impressive nights as well, as everyone in the line up contributed in some fashion to the win.
Smokey Wiener, 3-3, 2BB, 2B, 3B, 2RBI Nate Horseman, 5-6, 2B, 2HR (#1,#2), 7RBI Buff Robillard 4-5, 2 2B, 2 3B, 5RBI Scott Umbrianna 2-3, 2BB, RBI Steve Perkins 3-5, HR#3, 2RBI Aaron Benedetti 2-4, BB, 2B, 3RBI Ichiro Robillard 1-2, 4BB, RBI Chris Washburn 2-5, RBI Captain Joe Voci 1-4, BB
The 12 additional walks secured by the team pushes its season total to 81; 13 more than all of last year (29 games). Buff’s record of 17 base on balls (’10) will undoubtedly fall, as the new strike mat continues to benefit the hitters.
Walk leaders: Voci 12, Wiener 12, Ostiguy 9
The only downer on the night was the hang afterwards, where only Perkins, his kids, and Nichols reveled in the victory with Bud Lights; as Coors Light’s string of quality hangs came to an abrupt and screeching halt.
Coors Light (H) faces Central (7-4) Wednesday Night at 7:45, as the squad looks for its 5th consecutive victory and Smokey looks to extend THE STREAK (and by the way, the last time Smokey faced Central he was 2-2 with a BB). |
| Posted Jun 17/11 - Thurs 6/16, Coors Light moves into first |
|
Coors Light (7-4) moved into a first place tie Thursday Night, as they easily defeated winless TPG 25-7. In 46 plate appearances, Coors Light reached base an impressive 35 times; as the team pushed its season average to an even .600.
Everyone in the line up contributed to the easy win. Six players, including player of the game Scott “Savage” Umbrianna (9-11, 9 RBIs in his three games back from vacation), were perfect on the night.
Scott Umbrianna 4-4, 3B, 6RBI John Powers 2-2, 2B, 2BB, 4RBI Ichiro Robillard 3-3, RBI Ryan Ostiguy 3-3, 2BB, RBI Smokey Wiener, 3-3, BB, RBI Pete Robillard 1-1, RBI Aaron Benedetti 2-3, BB, RBI Buff Robillard 2-3, BB, 3B Chris Washburn 2-4, 2B, 3RBI Captain Joe Voci 0-1, 2BB
The 10 additional walks secured by the team pushes its season total to 69; one more than all of last year (29 games). Buff’s record of 17 base on balls (’10) will undoubtedly fall, as the new strike mat continues to benefit the hitters.
Walk leaders: Voci 11, Wiener 10, Ostiguy 9
Voci improved to 3-4, as he had little trouble with the weak TPG line up. Pete Robillard mopped up for his first save of the season.
Former Coors Light standout, Diamond Joe Bolio, provided some additional entertainment during post game festivities; as Coors Light’s string of quality hangs continued.

| Posted Jun 15/11 - Tues 6/14, Coors Light sweeps twin bill |
|
The Coors Light offense erupted for 53 hits and 49 runs in a convincing sweep over Bogarts (17-12) and The Hive (32-9). In the opener, a Coors Light 9 run 6th broke open a tight 10-8 game. In the finale, a 10 run first inning demoralized the opposition and Coors Light cruised to an easy victory. The wins improved the squad to 6-4 and vaulted them back into the race for the top spot in the B division.
Everyone (even Powers) contributed to the sweep. Veterans, Captain Joe Voci (6-6, 7 RBI) and Smokey Wiener (5-5, 6 RBI), batting from the 11th and 12th spots in the order, were both perfect; with each securing their 9th walk on the season.
Also helping to drive the offense were:
Ichrio Robillard 4-8, 2B, RBI Joe Nichols 4-6, 2 2B, 2RBI Steve Perkins 5-6, 2 2B, HR#2, 6RBI Buff Robillard 3-4, HR#6, 8RBI Scott Umbrianna 5-7, 2B, 3B, HR#1, 3RBI Bobby McCarthy 3-6, 2B, 4RBI Pete Robillard 4-8, 2 2B, 3RBI Ryan Ostiguy 3-5, 2B, 2RBI Chris Washburn 4-7, 2B, HR#1, 4RBI Aaron Benedetti 4-7, 2B, 2RBI John Powers 3-5, 3RBI
Perkins improved to a faultless 4-0 on the hill, as his defense actually performed okay on the night.
Coors Light faces winless TPG (0-9) Thursday Night at 8:45, in what should be an easy victory for the team. |
| Posted Jun 9/11 - Thurs 6/8, Coors Light slaughtered again, 17-2 |
|
Coors Light (4-4) lost their third straight Thursday Night, as they were soundly defeated by the Lincoln Club 17-2. The team managed a mere seven hits (one for extra bases) and two runs in what was easily their worst offensive night all season.
Offensively,
Captain Joe Voci fell to 2-4, as his control and defense let him down once again.
Coors Light has finished up their first go around with the A squads (1-3) and will begin their first of seven consecutive games against B teams tonight against the Hive (4-2) at 8:45; weather pending. |
| Posted Jun 6/11 - Fri 6/3, 22 run inning sinks Coors Light, 35-16 |
|
Things were looking good for Coors Light early in Friday’s game, as they jumped out to a 10-2 lead over rival Emma’s after two frames. However, things quickly turned; as the opposition scored 22 runs in a record setting 4th. The 45 minute long inning showcased many of Coors Light’s defensive weaknesses: poor fielding, lack of hustle, errant throws, and walks (with virtually everyone contributing). In the end, the beat down was called after 5; as Coors Light slid to 4-3 on the year.
Jim Antonetti (a perfect 4-4 with 4 extra base hits including HR#4; knocking in 5) was the lone offensive star in a game that Coors Light would like to soon forget.
Captain Joe Voci (2-3) fell below .500 on the season, as his shorthanded defense (many of whom played out of position) let him down once again.
Coors Light takes on the always tough Lincoln Club (6-2), Wednesday @6:45. After Wednesday’s tilt, the schedule eases up; as Coors Light will face 7 consecutive B teams as June finishes up. |

|
Coors Light found a way to cough one up in a game in which they were up 11-6 heading into the last frame. A combination of middle infield errors (Pete/Nichols), an untimely walk, and poor umpiring all contributed to an epic 7th inning collapse that saw Coors Light fall 12-11 to Central in a game in which they never trailed (until the end). The tough loss dropped Coors Light to 4-2 on the early season.
The Central pitcher was so erratic (7 walks) that it actually kept the Coors Light hitters off balance all night (14-33, .424). Unaffected by the opposing pitcher’s wildness were Buff Robillard (3-3, 2B, HR, 4RBI) and the savvy veteran Smokey Wiener (2-2), both of whom reached base successfully a combined 7 times. Unfortunately, the remainder of the line up was a dismal 9-28 (.321).
Captain Joe Voci (2-2) cruised most of the night, but was his outing was ultimately undone by poor defense.

Up 15-3 after 4, Coors Light appeared to be headed for another easy win against Moe’s Tavern. However, as is sometimes the case with Coors Light; overconfidence set in (it’s over, what’s the B’s score? I need to tweet, etc) and the team found themselves in an 18-17 battle after five and half innings. Moe’s threatened in the 7th, but Captain Joe Voci got the opposition’s clean up hitter to bounce back to the mound with two on and two out to end things. The win moves Coors Light into sole possession of first place in the B division (4-1).
The offense was erratic, somewhat expected after a 10 day layoff, but still managed 24 hits (9 for extra bases). “DJ Cowboy Steve” Perkins led the charge, hitting for the cycle and driving in 9 on the night (4-5, 2B, 3B, HR, 9 RBI). Also contributing were Ichiro Robillard (5-6, 2B, RBI), Pete "14-17 to start the year" Robillard (4-5, 2B, 2RBI), Voci (3-4, 2 RBI), Joe Nichols (3-5, 2 2B, 2RBI), Buff Robillard (2-3, 2B, HR, 3RBI), and Jim Antonetti (2-5, RBI).
Amazingly, Smokey Wiener (1-4) could not take advantage of the three man infield as he continued to struggle (.333 over his last three). However, he did manage to secure his team leading 5th base on balls of the year.
Voci was not at his best Monday Night but picked up the victory and moved to 2-1 on the season. The Coors Light defense (led by the infield) was shaky at best.
Coors Light takes on Central Market (2-1) Wednesday @7:45 in a battle of one loss teams. |
| Posted May 15/11 - Fri 5/13, Coors Light simply out hit, falls 28-24 |
|
Coors Light continued their torrid offensive output Friday Night, slugging another 33 hits; 4 of which left the yard. Unfortunately for the squad, the Starrs’s (3-1) bats were just a little better; as they plated 28 runs and narrowly handed Coors Light their first defeat of the season (3-1).
The unlikely duo of Pete Robillard (4-5, HR, 5RBI) and John Powers (3-4, 5RBI) combined for almost half of the teams RBIs; as both players continued to wildly exceed preseason expectations.
Seven other Coors Light hitters reached base at least three times on the night: Bobby McCarthy (3-3, 3RBI), Buff Robillard (3-3, 2B, 2HR#2/#3, 4RBI), Scott “Savage” Umbrianna (4-5), Captain Joe Voci (3-4, 2RBI), Brian Brown (3-5, 2B, RBI), Jim Antonetti (3-5, HR#3, 3RBI), and Ryan Ostiguy (2-4, RBI).
Smokey Wiener (2-4) just missed making the above list; however, he was gunned down, in a sometimes attempted, but rarely (as in triple play rare) executed 10-3 putout (and by a few steps I might add).
Voci, filling in for a DJ’ing Steve Perkins, fell to 1-1 on the year but luckily left the field with his nuts (and all other body parts) in tact.
Pending weather, Coors Light faces winless TPG (0-5) Monday @6:45 in what should be another easy victory for the squad. |
| Posted May 12/11 - Wed 5/11, Coors Light outlasts the opposition, 29-25 |
|
The weather was the story Wednesday Night, as wind gusts of up to an estimated 30 mph greatly assisted both offenses.
Helped by a 14 run 4th (in which Coors Lt sent 19 men to the dish) and 13 base on balls (9 of which scored), Coors Light outlasted The Replacements in a tight game (tied at 22 entering the last frame) that could have gone either way; 29-25.
The Coors Light offense was in a word, spectacular; scoring 29 runs, pounding out 31 hits, and reaching base an amazing 44 times on the night (which has to be a record).
Brian Brown, 1st game this year (4-4, BB, 2B, HR, 3R, 6RBI), Pete Robillard, looking like preseason Pete (4-4, 2B, R, 2RBI), Joe Nichols (4-5, 2 2B, 3R, 5RBI), AJ Andrews (3-4, BB, 3R, 3RBI), Ichiro Robillard (3-4, BB, 2R, 3RBI), Scott “Savage” Umbrianna (3-4, BB, 2 R, RBI), and Steve “DJ Cowboy” Perkins (3-5, 2 R, 2 RBI) led the offense.
Also chipping in were John Powers (1-2, 2BB, 2B, 2R, 2RBI), Buff Robillard (2-4, 3R, RBI), Bobby McCarthy (2-5, 2B, R, 2RBI), Ryan Ostiguy (1-3, 2BB, 2R), Captain Joe Voci (1-4, BB, 3R, RBI, DP–Pete), and Smokey Wiener (0-1, 3BB, 2R, RBI); as everyone in the line up reached base at least twice.
Perkins improved to 2-0 but uncharacteristically struggled with his control throughout the night, as the elements continually played havoc with Perkins’s in flight ball.
Defensively, the left side of the infield (Brown and Pete Robillard) was peppered throughout the night and made the majority of the plays. In fact, Pete Robillard was so impressive, post game the media pondered as to whether a 3B controversy had developed…..an obviously irritated Voci answered, “Let me think about that for a second…..no…..next question….”
Coors Light faces their toughest test of the season on Friday Night when they face perennial A division power, Starrs (2-1) @7:45. |
| Posted May 3/11 - Mon 5/2, Coors Light cruises again, 15-6 |
|
Coors Light easily defeated a weak Moe’s Tavern Monday Night, 15-6. Coors Light felt good about their chances minutes after the first pitch, when the coach of Moe’s asked if stealing was allowed. The win moves Coors to 2-0 on the year, as the team inched closer to clinching a playoff spot.
Coach Voci was so confident of the squad’s pre-game chances of victory, he batted 13. As it turned out, his arrogance paid off and the offensive game plan worked to perfection. The team pounded out 19 hits, 8 of which were for extra bases.
I Robillard (2-2, BB, R, 2RBI),
Steve “DJ Cowboy” Perkins (1-0) was around the strike mat all night and cruised to his first win of the year; fanning two. Perkins also, as has been the norm over the past 20 years, fielded his position like an all star.
Coors Light will look to continue their perfect season Wednesday Night at 7:45 against Central Market.

| Posted May 1/11 - Sat 4/30, Coors Light easily takes opener 20-7 |
|
Coors Light overcame some shady infield defense and suspect base running (Powers, multiple face plants; Umbie one face plant) with their bats, as they easily took down TPG 20-7 in the season opener.
The Coors Light offense was in mid season form, as they pounded out 25 hits over 6 innings. The top three (Ichiro, Nichols, Buff) in the order led the charge; accounting for 12 of the squad’s hits and 15 of their RBIs. However, the offensive output was widespread, as 8 of the 10 starters had multiple hits.
I Robillard (5-5, 2 2B, 4R, 4RBI) and Coach Voci (3-3, 4R, BB) both had perfect days with Nichols (4-5, HR, 2R, 5RBI), Buff Robillard (3-5, 2 2B, HR, 2R, 6RBI), Jim Antonetti (2-4, 3B, HR, swinging K, R, 2 RBI), Pete Robillard (2-3, BB, 2R, RBI), Smokey Wiener (2-4, 3B, R, RBI), and
Voci (1-0) had command of all his pitches and simply dominated the opposition, allowing a mere 7 runs over 7 innings. Defensively, Coors Light played okay considering it was the first game of the season. Always one for the spectacular, Wiener, made the best defensive play of the day; stabbing a line drive headed for open space in right.
Coors Light will look to continue their strangle hold on first place Monday Night at 6:45 against Moe’s Tavern.

| Posted Apr 29/11 - Opening Day Roster |
|
| Posted Aug 20/10 - Year End 2010 Report Card |
|
Perkins: A- Bounce back year for the BMSL veteran, even as he played through a hamstring injury. His .684 AVG led all regulars and was up an impressive 260 points over ’09. Perkins’s production rebounded as well, as his RBI increased from 15 to 26 (in only 20 games). Perkins’s 1-7 record on the hill was a little deceptive, as the Coors Light defense was terrible the entire year. His outfield defense was solid throughout the season. Perkins does get knocked down a notch for missing a few games due to karaoke gigs.
Buff Robillard: A- Another one of Coors Light’s few offensive bright spots in 2010. His .659 OBP was 2nd best amongst regulars and was a career high. Buff’s 17 base on balls were the most ever achieved in a single season by any Coors Light player and helped drive his OBP. His power numbers on a per game basis were similar to ’09, though his production was down (driven mostly by the fact that there was rarely anyone on base for him to knock in). Buff’s defense was not spectacular, but solid throughout the year.
Antonetti: B+ After a disastrous May/June, the sophomore roared back as the weather heated up and almost single handedly carried the Coors Light offense in the second half (hitting over .800 during July/Aug). Power numbers were up over ’09 (and he once again led the team in HRs), but AVG, OBP, and production were off; but considering where he started, it turned out to be another nice year for Antonetti. Perhaps Coors Light’s best defender throughout the season.
Stastny: B+ Arguably Coors Light’s best hitter throughout the season. In his second full season with Coors Light, Stastny hit .629 (50 pts better than LY and 2nd among regulars) and drove in 1.9 runs/game (2nd best again). Had 12 extra base hits in only 65 plate appearances (down a mere 3 from ’09 when he had 40 more PAs). His average defense and the fact that he missed over a third of the games knock him down a bit.
Smokey: B After a disastrous ’09 campaign (marked by multiple off the field issues: marriage and wife’s pregnancy) that left many wondering if he had anything left, the veteran bounced back and put together a solid year. His .450 AVG was 64 points higher than ’09 and was bested only by his .515 AVG in ’04. Smokey’s production was nothing to write home about, but it never has been; as anything Coors Lt gets from this bottom of the order hitter is a bonus. The versatile veteran played solid defense at multiple positions throughout the season, including a 3-1 record on the hill (with a nice 12.33 ERA). Perhaps most impressive though was high 86% games played number (considering his drive and baby at home). All in all, a good year for the Coors Light Hall of Famer.
McCarthy: B Due to the lack of a hitting streak, McCarthy didn’t receive the notoriety he did last year. However, the end results in 2010 were remarkably similar to his nice ’09 campaign, as his AVG (3rd on the team among regulars), OBP, and virtually every per/game number mirrored last year. Played okay defensive throughout the season; one of Coors Light’s better catchers.
Pete Robillard: C+ Pete’s .479 AVG was quite an improvement over LY (+63 pts) and his best performance since 2004. Pete’s slugging was on par with ’09, but his lack of power still mystifies many (9 extra base hits). He did manage to drive home 27 (5th on the squad), his best output in six years. Defensively, Pete played good outfield but struggled when asked to man one of the infield positions.
Andrews: C- AJ’s .471 AVG was well off his ’09 performance, as were his OBP, power, and production numbers. Arm troubles hampered him defensively but AJ usually reeled in anything close.
Voci: C- Battling through a variety of ailments throughout the season, the captain posted subpar offensive numbers. His .522 AVG mirrored the team’s performance but was his lowest since ’99, as where his 5 extra base hits. Voci’s two strikeouts during the season where the first two in his career. His 3-12 record and plus 20 ERA were disappointing to say the least, but driven more by a season long, pathetic Coors Light defensive performance than anything else. Voci’s acquisition of Washburn and Benedetti infused some much needed youth into the Coors Light line up. However, the Powers’s free agent acquisition and failure to resign both Umbrianna and Theroux are what most will remember.
Nichols: C- After setting a number of career highs in 2009, Nichols fell way back in 2010; experiencing his worst season ever in
Powers: D+ Where to begin…..After an almost 20 year layoff, there wasn’t much expected when Coors Light management signed him in the off season. Expectations sunk further after Powers put on perhaps the worst preseason batting practice session ever (who are we kidding, it was the worst). His .423 AVG ranked last among regulars, as did his two extra base hits (which actually ranked last among anyone who put on a Coors Light jersey this season). Defensively, Powers was a disaster; including making some the season’s most improbable errors. A “player of the game” performance in the keg playoff (and his solid post game entertainment throughout the year) saved him from a failing grade.
Matt Robillard: D- After earning comeback player of the year honors last year, Ichiro regressed, and suffered through a tough 2010 campaign. The leadoff hitter reached base only 50% of the time and experienced his worst average since 2000 (.449). Ichiro also broke his own single season mark by striking out five times during the year. Defensively, Ichiro was Ichiro, with his strength being accurate throws back to the pitcher and working the umps. Even Games Played, a historical statistical strength for Ichiro, took a dive. As thanks to a broken finger, Ichiro played in his fewest games (22) since coming to

Other than pride (and multiple 30 packs), Coors Light had little to play for in Monday Night’s finale against TPG (4-26). Against all odds, Coors Light remarkably won its first game in over a month, snapping its season long ten game losing streak.
The Coors Light offense was improbably lead by one John Powers (3-4, R, 3 RBI), who took a mere four months to get his bat going. Powers, faced with the prospect of becoming only the 4th hitter in Coors Light BMSL history to hit under .400, came through when all the chips (cans of beer) were in the middle.
The team pounded out 19 hits in total, as the offense scored in every inning. Aaron Benedetti (3-4, R, 2 3B, RBI), Jeff Stastny (2-3, R, BB, 2 RBI), Nichols (2-3, 2 R, BB, 2B, 3B, 2 RBI), Smokey Wiener (2-3, R, BB), Buff Robillard (2-4, 2 R, 2 RBI), Steve Perkins (2-4, 2 R, 2B), Pete Robillard (1-2, 2 R, BB, 3B, 2 RBI, SF), Chris Washburn (1-4, 2 R, RBI), and Captain Joe Voci (1-4, RBI, backwards K) all made contributions.
Voci, battling back/kidney injuries and postponing much needed surgery, gutted out the win and improved to 3-12 on the season; his worst since his 6-12 mark in ’06. Voci is now a career 103-77 in 11 BMSL seasons on the hill.
The post game celebration, cut short by the rain that moved in shortly after 1am, focused on the consumption of the 90 beverages given out to the best non-playoff team in 2010. Led by Perkins and Powers (8.5 each), the team valiantly drank but came up well short of the intended mark; the final tally coming in at 25.
The highly anticipated and circulated season ending report card will be released over the coming days. Additionally, a season ending cookout will be held at Buff Robillard’s at some point in August/September.

Coors Light lost its 10th straight Wednesday Night, as they were soundly defeated by DeGrace (20-9) 24-4 (9th slaughter loss). The defeat sent Coors Light’s record further south (7-22), as they continued to build on their worst season in over a decade.
The Coors Light offense was virtually shutdown, as they could only collect 10 hits on the night. Lead off hitter Smokey Wiener (2-3, R) and Bobby McCarthy (2-2) were the only ones to attain multiple hit nights, as the majority of the line up only stepped to the plate twice.
The one highlight of the night was Buff Robillard’s two base on balls, which sent his season total to an amazing 17; shattering the previous mark (15 in ’08) and wiping Wiener’s previously thought unbreakable mark from the books.
Starter Steve “DJ Cowboy Steve” Perkins dropped to 1-7 on the season, as the defense could only do so much against the potent opposition bats. AJ Andrews once again saw some relief action and gave up 12 over the final three innings.
Gratefully, Coors Light’s season finale will be against last place TPG (4-25) Monday Night @8:45; barring any aerial mosquito spraying. This will be the last chance for individuals to affect their grade on the highly anticipated and circulated season ending report card (Powers, you better get a hit Monday). |
| Posted Aug 3/10 - Mon 8/2, Coors Light falls short again |
|
Coors Light lost its 9th straight Monday Night, coming out on the wrong side of a 22-18 tilt. In doing so, the team fell to 7-21 (with one victory by forfeit and another against a team with only eight guys), securing its worst season since they went 4-26; their first season in the BMSL.
The team jumped out for five runs in the first and had the bases loaded with only one down, but the opposition was able to prevent anything further damage. From there, the Emma’s bats woke up and they jumped out to a healthy 14-7 lead midway through the contest. Coors Light showed some heart, cutting opposition leads to 14-12 in the 5th and 20-18 in the 6th. However, Emma’s tacked on a couple of insurance runs in the 7th and Coors Light went quietly in the bottom half to end things.
The offense was not the problem Monday Night, as every starter (except Smokey Wiener and John Powers; a combined 0-7) had at least two hits. Bobby McCarthy (2-2, 3 R, 2 BB, RBI), Chris Washburn (3-3, 3B, 4 RBI, SF), Steve Perkins (4-4, 3 R, 2B), Jeff Stastny (3-4, 2 R, 2B, 3 RBI), Jim Antonetti (2-3, 3 R, BB, 3B, RBI), Andrews, making his first start of the year, took the loss on the hill; as he continually went right after the opposition’s best, while pitching around Emma’s weak hitters.
Coors Light next faces third place DeGrace, Wednesday Night @8:45 before mercifully finishing the season up against last place TPG Monday Night @8:45. |
| Posted Jul 31/10 - Fri 7/30, Coors Light slaughtered again |
|
Coors Light (7-20) dropped its 8th staight Friday Night, as they were slaughtered (for the 8th time this year) 25-10 to DeGrace. The hot opposition bats, combined with a poor defense, spelled doom for Coors Light; as DeGrace scored in all seven innings. The offense was led by Captain Joe Voci (3-3, 2 R, 2 2B), Bobby McCarthy (3-3, 2B, 2 RBI), Joe Nichols (2-4, 2 R, 2B, HR, 3 RBI), AJ Andrews (2-3, R, 2 RBI, SF), Jim Antonetti (2-4, 2 R, 2B, 2 RBI; completing a red hot July which earned him player of the month honors), and Buff Robillard (1-2, 2 R, 2B, 2 BB; including his 15th, tying an all time Coors Light record for single season walks). Starter, Voci (2-12), lasted only three innings; as mid game infield defensive adjustments where necessary (Pete Robillard). Fireballer Andrews came in to mop things up and struck out two. As mentioned, both pitchers were negatively affected by a defense that played a subpar game. Coors Light next faces Emma's (15-10), Monday @6:45 in game 28 (of 30) of the season. |
| Posted Jul 28/10 - Tues 7/27, Coors Light bats silent again |
|
In yet another game they should have won, Coors Light found a way to lose 12-5 to a vastly undermanned Fast Lane team (which included a 55 year old who killed us all night). In doing so, the team dropped its 7th straight and fell to 7-19 on the year.
Powered again by a pregame dinner of Captain Crunch, Jim Antonetti (3-3, 2 R, 2B, 3B, RBI) continued his torrid July (18-21, 4 HR, 17 RBI this month) and remained the offense’s only real consistent threat. Jeff Stastny (2-2, 2 RBI, SF), Bobby McCarthy (2-3, R, RBI), and Chris Washburn (2-3) helped out as well; each securing multiple hit games. Unfortunately, the remainder of the line up went a disastrous 5-21.
Steve “DJ Cowboy Steve” Perkins dropped to 1-6 on the season, as the defense played well again. However, the Fast Lane illegal bats were simply too much to overcome.
Coors Light next faces 16-9 DeGrace, Friday Night @8:45 with Pizza Fest post game. |
| Posted Jul 27/10 - Mon 7/26, a solid effort by Coors Light |
|
Lead off hitter, Smokey Wiener (who had drilled a 2B over the drawn in OF in his prior AB), representing the tying run, lined out sharply to end a well played game by Coors Light (7-18, and losers of 9 of 10). An overall solid effort by the defense enabled the team to hang with first place
Powered by a pregame dinner of Captain Crunch and a midgame King Size Milky Way, the red hot Jim “Sugar” Antonetti (15-18, 4 HR, 16 RBI in July) once again powered the offense (3-3, R, 2B, RBI). Jeff Stastny (2-3, 2B, RBI), John Powers (2-3, R), and Wiener (2-4, 2 R, 2B) also chipped in. Unfortunately, the remainder of the line up went a meager 5-22.

Coors Light management, scrambling again to field a team, was luckily able to summon three from their Dighton farm club last minute which enabled them to start with a full squad. The team, normally fielding three Robillard brothers, was down two Monday Night; as both Pete (0-3, zero assists, a single post game beer, cooler full of ice only, and multiple errors, which included him narrowly missing sending another ground ball into the bleachers) and Matt “Ichiro – Jacoby” (broken finger, prepping for a Tuesday Night press conference with prepared notes) were MIA.
Coors Light next faces John Murray and 2nd place Fast Lane (18-7), Tuesday Night @6:45.

| Posted Jul 22/10 - Wed 7/21, Can’t get any worse for Coors Light |
|
Last place TPG (4-21) picked up their second division win of the year Wednesday Night, as they easily defeated Coors Light 23-13. In what has become commonplace this season, Coors Light (using a shorthanded lineup yet again) utilized poor defense, bad base running, untimely hitting, and lousy overall softball to secure their 17th loss (their 8th in their last 9 games). The Coors Light offense hit well throughout the game, pounding out 22 hits. However, the line up should have produced more than 13 runs considering how hot the bats were. Bobby McCarthy (2-3, 2 R, HR, 6 RBI) earned player of the game honors with a solid performance at the dish. Virtually every one else in the line up also contributed: Captain Joe Voci (3-4), Pete Robillard (3-4, R, HR, 3 RBI), Smokey Wiener (3-4, R, RBI), Steve Perkins (3-4, 3 R, 2 RBI, SF), Buff Robillard (2-3, BB, 2 R, 2B), Voci took the loss on the mound and fell to 2-11 on the season, as the defense (despite another impressive performance at 1st by Wiener) played awful; led by John Powers, who continued to add to his already large collection of inconceivable misplays. Battling Powers for worst single defensive play of the night (and perhaps season) was Pete Robillard, who somehow managed to knock a ground ball into the bleachers, which resulted in a ground rule double for the opposition. Ichiro Robillard, injured early in the game attempting to field an unwarranted throw home by Nichols, underwent a series of post game MRIs. Team doctors ultimately diagnosed the injury as a broken finger, which will keep Robillard on the bench for the remainder of the season. Coors Light faces a tough road next week, playing the top three teams in the division beginning Monday @6:45 against |
| Posted Jul 20/10 - Mon 7/19, Coors Light done in by big inning |
|
It appeared Coors Light was headed for their 8th win of the season, as solid overall play had the team ahead 6-0 early and up 8-5 midway through Monday Night’s contest. However, things quickly unraveled for the team as the opposition compiled a crippling 14 run 4th inning which essentially ended any chance of a Coors Light victory. Half of the team’s 16 defeats have now been way of the slaughter rule, including the 23-8 drubbing Monday Night. The team is now reeling, having dropped 7 of their last 8. AJ Andrews (3-3, R), Jim Antonetti (3-3, 3 RBI), Captain Joe Voci (2-3, 2 RBI), and Steve Perkins (2-3, 2 R, RBI) secured 10 of the team’s 14 hits. The remainder of the line up was relatively silent though, only managing 4 hits in 16 ABs.
Aging veteran Voci (2-10) took another loss on the hill, as the dog days of July continued to debilitate his 39 yr old body. To this point, Voci has resisted placing himself of the DL (back, shoulder), but any further injuries may force management to shut him down for the year. Smokey Wiener once again led a defense that played fairly well, but could only do so much against a sold hitting DeGrace team.
Coors Light next faces last place TPG (3-21) Wednesday@7:45. |
| Posted Jul 16/10 - Thurs 7/15, Coors Light falls in extras |
The Coors Light offense showed off the power it had been lacking all season Thursday Night. However it was not enough, as they dropped a one run extra inning thriller to rival Emma’s Thursday Night, 17-16. Twelve extra base hits, including five HRs, weren’t quite enough to offset the 13 runners left on base; 8 of which were a direct result of Ichiro Robillard’s uncontroversial ejection (and subsequent four automatic outs) in the 2nd inning for a bat throwing incident. After the ejection, everyone stepped up their game as Coors Light traded shots with the opposition in the back and forth affair. Trailing 14-13 in the 7th, Buff Robillard (3-4, 3 R, 2 2B, HR, 2 RBI, SF) came through with a titanic, 2 out light pole shot to tie the game and Jim Antonetti (3-4, 4 R, BB, 3 HR, 5 RBI) followed with his 3rd bomb of the night (his team leading 8th) to put Coors Light up by one. However, Emma’s was able to plate the tying run and ultimately put up two more in the 8th to take home the victory. Coors Light now stands at 7-15 on the year. Bobby McCarthy (4-5, 3 R), Jeff Stastny (4-5, 3 R, cycle, 5 RBI), John Powers (3-4, BB, 2B, 2 RBI), Voci (2-9) took the tough loss on the hill. The defense played fairly well, led by an outstanding effort at first by Wiener, but the outfield simply couldn’t overcome the lack of a fourth fielder. Coors Light next faces third place DeGrace (14-7) Monday@7:45. |
| Posted Jul 13/10 - Mon 7/12, another ugly one for Coors Light |
Coors Light fell to second place Fast Lane for the fourth time this season, 18-2. The crushing defeat could very easily be described as the team’s worst performance all year. Once again the team utilized awful defense, combined with an inept offense (tied for a season low in hits) to easily secure their 14th loss on the year (against 7 wins). Buff Robillard (2-2, 2B), Jim Antonetti (1-2, R, team leading 5th HR, 2 RBI), and Voci (2-8) took the loss on the hill, as the defense played its worst game of the year; making at least 20 errors on the night. Coors Light Hall of Famer MONGO and veteran Ryan Ostiguy joined the post game festivities, which lasted about twice as long as the game did. Coors Light next faces fourth place Emma’s (10-9) Thursday @6:45; a winnable game. |
| Posted Jul 9/10 - Thurs 7/9, Coors Light falls again |
In what has become a recurring theme in 2010, Coors Light management struggled to piece together a competitive line up Thursday Night. With a number of regulars out again, Coors Light had to start another game with only eight; not the formula for success when facing first place powerhouse, Lincoln (19-2). The opposition took full advantage of the weak Coors Light line up and slaughtered them for the fourth time this season, 26-7. Coors Light dropped to 7-12 on the year, as Jim Antonetti (3-3, R, 2B, HR, 4 RBI), Voci (2-7) took the loss on the hill, as he was rocked by the illegal Coors Light next faces second place Fast Last Monday @6:45, as they look to rebound from another disappointing loss. |
| Posted Jul 6/10 - Mon 7/6, a solid win for Coors Light |
In one of their best played games all year, Coors Light secured a 15-8 victory over last place TPG in Monday Night action. TPG got up on Coors Light early, breaking out with three in the top of the first. However, Coors Light managed five of their own in the third to go up 6-3; a lead the team would never relinquish. The team improved to 7-11 with the win and remained just behind Emma's (10-9) in the race for the final playoff position. The offense managed 20 hits in only 33 ABs (.606 AVG), as virtually everyone in the twelve man line up contributed to the win. Voci (2-6) allowed a mere eight runs over seven, as he picked up his first win on the mound since May 24th. The defense was solid throughout the night; highlighted by the play of one Pete “El Caballito” Robillard who ate up everything at 2nd (though still had people at Cumberland Farms diving for cover due to one of his errant cannons intended for the first baseman, Stastny’s mitt).
