Can he go on 0 days rest?
Will Kenny Powers finally pitch to help out the depleted Sox staff?

If you want the circle jerk of the century check out the Gray Bats Team Awards post on their now fully functional blog.
Sox-Owlz at Moore Park tomorrow night.
winning coach can post a recap if they want, same with the series winning coach.
Canes Warriors play tomorrow as well don’t know when or where but its not Moore apparently.
Quack.
Since 2004 the team that has won game one of the 3 game series has gone on to win 78.3% of the time, according to Pete Chalfin.
The ’04 Ducks lost in the Conference finals to the Sox after taking game 1.
Game 2 will pit pitcher of the year candidate Scott Dunn against potentially J.T. Slavicek or whomever else the Sox have.
The Sox have got to be thin on pitching, mayeb we’ll get an appearance from the greatest pitcher in the history of organized baseball.
The Sox’s lefty pitched well.
neither of these team names can be made into possessive plurals.
the conclusion to this game was not forgone, apparently.
Words were exchanged after the game between two of the best players in the series.
Feel the hatred.
Winner of tomorrow’s game and of the series can email me a recap for posting if they want.
Updates from the western conference are welcome also.

I’m still sick to my stomach about Sunday’s loss.
Just fucking gut-wrenching.
Ill have a season recap after the finals.
Jones will have some team awards.
My picks for Ducks Awards:
MVP: Castle
Offensive player of the year: Captain America
Co-Pitchers of the year: Fletch/Invisible Hand
Defensive Player of the Year: Jesse Smith
Coby is probably hard at work right now on his recap.
The Ducks are in the process of getting our roster set for our trip to Erie for 3 free baseball games at the former home of the Erie Sailors, who when I saw them as a kid were the minor league affiliate of the Marlins, and seeking sponsors for our labor day tournament team.
Expect a call from the good Dr.
Quack.
3pm
The winner will play whomever wins the 5:30 game between the Owlz and Confederacy in the conference finals.
We have a chance to eliminate the Black Sox.
We will face Chalfin again.
The Ducks will start Guthrie or Smith.
We have another great opportunity this afternoon.
we will be a bit short-handed, we need to be better than the sum of our parts today.
3pm, LaRoche College.(Directions)
Ducks (0-0) vs, Gray Bats (0-0)
Projected Starters: Depo vs. Sorosky
“When we got to the ballpark, we knew we were going to win. That’s all there was to it. we weren’t cocky. I wouldn’t call it confidence either. We just knew. Like when you go to sleep you know the sun is going to come up in the morning.”
The name of the game is Thunder Dome
two men enter one man leaves
Rumors that LaRoche College has been traded for field prospects for the 2012 season are unsubstantiated.
The regular season may have been “meaningless” but the playoffs aren’t.
Depo on the hill
Bad News for the Gray Bats
Quack.
BP tonight at 6:30
Scrimmage vs. Owlz tomorrow, details to be announced, asap – Cool feel free to chime in in the comments section or email TC when you know what’s going on – .
BP Wed. 6:30
BP Thurs. 6:30
Take one for your team
The Gray Bats are not as bad as their .125 winning percentage suggests.
Baseball is a humbling game sometimes, I’ve seen weird things happen, just ask the hole in the fence at Pie Traynor.
No one wants their season to end on Saturday.
As a competitor I appreciate the Gray Bats confidence, but still, the Ducks have proven over the course of 24 games to be the better team.
We have also proven in the 3 games against the Gray Bats that we are the better team.
We have to prove it when our season is on the line.
We have seen unreal amounts of trash talking between both teams all season.
There’s the Gray Bats manager and his fucking views on censorship – that’s another sub-plot.
If i ever hit under .200 when i was coaching i would have benched myself…
He took a shot at the Ducks Blog’s affiliation with Abe Lincoln.
Probably because Abe Lincoln was a real leader.
During Fall Ball I edited the Gray Bat wikipedia entry, not sure how that is looking now.
Someone should do that again, and get a screen shot of it…
I watched the entire first season of East Bound and Down yesterday.
I think “Ducks Die Together” is a great screen name, clever at worst…
Dangermouse is unreal.
Foes that wanna make sure my caskets closed
If we want a shot at redemption for the beating we took at the hands of Kenny Powers last season, we must win on Saturday.
Quack.
Much has been said of the previous meetings between the two teams. Guaranteed victories and threats of retirement have both been parts of the division series. Now it comes down to this.
Playoff time.
With the new format this year, all teams make the playoffs (not counting forfeiting teams) regardless of regular season record. This was voted on by all teams during the offseason, and it passed with little opposition. While there are a number of positives about this format, it takes away some of the intensity of the regular season as well. We all know the great playoff run by the Ducks at the end of 2008.
But now teams in the basement of the division standings have a chance to upset better teams in the first two rounds of the playoffs. The Graybats are counting on this.
They are praying for it.
Praying for more juice, just like the Bats
But while much has been said of the previous games, much is expected of the one to come. The Graybats have one vision of what will happen
Larry Z wants to be flying high
The Ducks, however, also have a vision of what is to come
The booted ball has been the calling card of the Graybats all season and now that the pressure of playoffs is upon us, will they perform any better?
Graybats Home Run Ball
Not likely.
The Ducks enter the game ready to dive, dip, dodge, duck…
and smash the cover off the ball.
Get ready for the playoffs.
Quack
(Is Playmaker our troll?)
UPDATE – The Eagles Beat the Fightin’ Rafalskis last night 21 – 5.
Don Henley is a beast.
The Sox can clinch Saturday.
Gray Bats like men.
Friday Night: Get Your Crayons Out!!!
Ducks Pulled Pork Extravaganza and Drink Fest at Dr. Jones’ house.
Bring booze, food, or a Ducks donation of $5-1,000,000 to join in the festivities.
no free loaders!!!
8pm-4am
the Ducks know how to throw a Drink Fest.
***
Enter your team in the Steel City Classic.
It will be a great way to extend the season, play against some teams from other leagues, and potentially lose to the Ducks again.
Quack.
We will be without Homa and Fletcher, but we’ve already taken steps to solidify our pitching rotation.
The Tournament will cost between 50 and 60 per player, and will take place from sept. 5th-7th.
We’re trying to get sponsors to drive down this cost further.
No more Tourney talk on the blog until after the season.
Kenny Powers’ Sox/Ducks recap will be up within the next 24 hours or so.
Quack.
