<\/a><\/p>\nThis time around, we play:<\/p>\n
Friday, July 11 \u2013 6:30pm vs Ottawa Panthers
\nSaturday, July 12 \u2013 12:20pm vs Kingston Ponies
\nSaturday, July 12 \u2013 6:30pm vs Rose City Thorns<\/p>\n
Fortunately, we don\u2019t have any scheduled round robin games on Sunday, since the weather forecast doesn\u2019t look ideal.\u00a0 The playoffs are also scheduled for Sunday afternoon\/evening, but the basement dwelling Tier 2 SweatSox probably don\u2019t have to worry about that.<\/p>\n
Winning #brewtourn15 isn\u2019t a realistic goal for the 2014 SweatSox, but we do have a checklist of objectives more suited to our current level of play.\u00a0 In no particular order:<\/p>\n
-No season ending injuries
\n-No perfect games thrown against us
\n-No no-hitters thrown against us
\n-Score at least 1 run in a game
\n-Score at least 2 runs in a game
\n-Score at least 3 runs in a game
\n-Don\u2019t give up 20 runs in a game
\n-Don\u2019t give up 30 runs in a game
\n-Don\u2019t give up 40 runs in a game<\/p>\n
A big topic of conversation around the league has been about our tournament roster.\u00a0 The big question of course being: Did we pick anybody up?\u00a0 The answer is no.\u00a0 We\u2019re not using any lubrication to make this easier, we\u2019re not using any toys to make this more pleasurable, and we\u2019re not wearing a rubber to minimize the risk.\u00a0 We\u2019re putting it in, doing our thing, then pulling out & praying nobody gets pregnant.\u00a0 Our official #brewtourn15 roster (alphabetical):<\/p>\n
Cory Bond
\nMark Bond
\nCraig Cornell
\nMark Dorrington
\nAndrew Elias
\nJohn Groves
\nRoss Hughes
\nDenver Hunt
\nKent Johnston
\nShaun Keay (me)
\nMarc Lett
\nChris Lidstone
\nArmando Navarro
\nJosh Ramage
\nMindy Ruffo
\nMark Stinson
\nMartin Trepanier
\nEric White<\/p>\n
Historically, both as a team and individually, the SweatSox haven\u2019t fared to well in this tournament.\u00a0 The 2008 SweatSox went 0-3, but that wasn\u2019t the only time active<\/em> members of the SweatSox played in this tourney.\u00a0 In 2007, the Jean Lazure led Ottawa Deuces featured 5 members of the SweatSox (CBond, Cornell, Delorey, Freeman, Johnston) and went 0-3.\u00a0 In 2010, Denver and Cory played with the Burlington Bulls and went 2-1, but that\u2019s probably because their roles were minimal.\u00a0 Last year, Cory and Eric played with the New Lowell Knights, each started a game on the mound, and the team went 0-3. \u00a0Will 2014 be the year we turn that trend around?<\/p>\n
