We came into this tournament with high hopes. It started with the 56 team field playing in their respective 4 team division. And after the division play is done, teams were then seeded and put into a single elimination knockout style tournament to determine the champion. We got slotted into field #10 and faced the Soggy Bottom Boys, Boston Dirt Dogs, and G-Unit.
I woke at round 9 and got to the field in bout 15 minutes. Instantly I found my team in our bright orange Season 2 shirts. You can spot those shirts 300 yards away. The games didn't really start til 10, so I ran around scouting and taking random pictures.
This is our team. From left to right: Sweet Pea Johnston, SeƱor Cadigan, Bill our Ringer, General T Hoggatt, Just Tom Cadigan. I was there as the hitting coach. Boom Boom Cooper served as the pitching coach. AVG Joe Janik stopped by with some fielding tips and a pep talk. I tried to do on-the-field, live audioblog updates, but I hung up instead of ending the call with the # key. Too bad, we had some good stuff.

Our first opponents were The Soggy Bottom Boys, seen here taking a cigarette break. We beat them 9 to 1.
Cooper, seen here giving order to his troops.
Cooper giving some love after our first victory.
Tom was our man on the mound.
Pics of Boston Dirt Dogs v G-Unit:


Random pic of Team College v Hot Dollies. I took this just because I was bored. Little did I know we'll see Team College in a bit.
Our Cooper's slightly less evil twin is on Team College:
That's all for now. The second part will have pics of the last two games of division play plus our game vs. Team College. I'm splitting this post in two because all this is too much work for a lazy guy like me. Part two will be up Tuesday. Until then, here's a video by News 12 you can check out. We are in it for like a total of 1.2 seconds. Look for the orange shirt people in the background. And no offense to the girls of G-Unit, but how come they got more face time than us?
And two videos I didn't know I took while I was messing with buttons on my camera. They are a combined 11 seconds. I think it's Mr. Cadigan that's doing the play by play.
