Ken Griffey Kolaja III, comes up big, as always.
I wrote this a while back,
South Oakland(5-8-1) has one game before the July 2nd, All-Star break. Due to a recent slump in which the Ducks have lost four of five, by an average of two runs per game, the team finds itself on the cusp of elimination. With ten games remaining (eight against Monongahela Division teams), South Oakland still has a chance to go on a run and sneak into the post-season.
Since then, South Oakland has gone on a 5-1-1 run.
and we find ourselves on the cusp of the playoffs.
Now it comes down to one game

How the mighty have fallen.The defending champion, Monroeville Rebels, are suffering through a 4-16-1 season. The South Oakland Ducks take a 7-0 victory, which sets up a do or die match-up with the Cyrilla Landscaping Rakers, Sunday at 2:30 at Avonworth High Shcool Field. Both teams were operating under the assumption the game would be played at noon, but a mix-up with the Pie Traynor Field permit issuers, lead to a last minute time change, moving the game to 9am. General Lee was unable to rally the troops, and the Rebels surrendered rather than suffer further casualties.
General Lee has had a rough season. The Rebels short-comings this season can not all be blamed on their field general, he can't force his soldiers to arrive to battle on time, and he fights valiantly. No one can take away their championship from 2007. Chances of a repeat, not great. only if four Monongahela Division teams fold.
There are a couple of mercenaries on the Rebels who would look good in green and gold, next season.
The history of the Ducks and .500 baseball, lest we be doomed to repeat it...
South Oakland is over .500 for the first time in almost half a decade. Even the Ducks title campaign of 2003, saw the team finish with a 6-9 regular season record before winning three straight post season games en-route to their coronation as the first Pittsburgh NABA Champions. The Ducks opened the 2004 Campaign 2-0, to put the team at 11-9 overall, but the team finish with around nine wins that season, two or three games under .500.
The Ducks started the '05 season 3-1. before finishing 10-13.
Change starts at the top. TC "Buttermaker" Jones, Coach of the Year.
