Scituate almost pulled it out in the 9th with hits from O'Brien and Cassidy. The game ended on a double-play by the Knights.

The Tides, despite missing their emotional leader, oldest player, normal second baseman, and best left handed hitter were able to pull out a big win in game one. The game was highlighted by OB's first home run since T-Ball, Monti's gutsy performance on the mound, Miggy (3 hits), Papi (3 hits), Tony and Stoney (2 hits apiece), and yet another broken bat by Stoney. Blaine was the tough luck loser and Brothers the hitting star for Natick. The favorite moment though was the 7th inning flyover by the Stealth Bomber, Flutie really can pull some strings, even though Phil thought it was a kite.

Tides score a big victory versus Medford, their first in three years. Brian "Artificial Hip" Cassidy takes the win going five strong in relief. Cass was only able to throw change ups and knuckle balls as his new fake hip prevented any velocity, but as usual he was nasty and tough as nails. Everyone in the Tides lineup had at least one hit, but the thrill of the evening was at Kelley's Roast Beef, when Stoney nearly killed some kid named Junior after his Roast Beef sandwich took 20 minutes to arrive. We also met a lovely little dancer from the Cabaret who promptly ran to her car when we tried to talk to her.

Timely hitting and excellent work by the I-Man out of jams, were the highlight in the game two win for the Tides. Miggy had the big bomb in the second, which set off a five run rally. Miggy may deserve the move to the cleanup spot, but I did pay for the team and he has continually mentioned that my wife thinks he is handsome. Keep hitting bombs buddy, and enjoy that five spot. This just in, Greg Forte wants to be a lesbian golfer, I can fill you in on the rest if you are interested. Good hitting by Bo, Kujo and Langston.

In the long awaited matchup of last year's finalists, the Tides jumped out early and never looked back. Monti goes six strong, giving up only three hits, with Cass pulling down the hold, even with his new artificial hip. The hitting stars for the Tides were Stoney (bomb in the first), Pithie on base all day despite repeated references to Earl, Igo and Miggy. Congrats to Tommy Manning who has entered the world of fatherhood. We missed you and that fat kid that used to play first for you last year.

Gilligan's managerial career ended at 2-0 when the Tides pounded out 16 hits in game two and survived a slug fest. The Tides scored 10 runs in a second inning explosion which prompted cries from the bench "Pithie who?" Brockton hit the ball hard all day long, especially in the second inning when they scored all six of their runs and had 6 hits in that frame alone.

Chris "Mr. Howell" Igo hit a big first inning triple and hit the ball hard all day long. On a related note, Ginger and Marianne were nowhere to be found.

The Tides and Thunder kissed their sister in Game 2. The Tides, trailing by seven going into the final frame, scored seven, the last four with two out. Tommy "The Mayor" Keefe drove in the final two that knotted the score at 9. We would have continued playing but were kicked off the field by a some AAU teams (Do I smell protest?). Anderlionis (3 hits), OB, Cass, Gainey, Keefe , (2 hits apiece), were the hitting stars, with Cass earning the tie on the HIll. The Thunder had numerous hits, but unfortunately we kept a terrible book, so I will just give them all big props because they hit the ball all over the place.

In the first of what would be two extra inning games, the Tides paced themselves not wanting to get too winded on this hot day, and scored one in the sixth to tie it and four in the top of the eighth to win it. It was also the first time in the history of the Tides that we hit three triples in a game, with Stoney, Igo and Keefa all get their first three baggers of the year. Chris "Peter Dorn" Igo had the break out day at the plate with three hits, while Cass and OB chipped in with two hits a piece. Thompson was the tough luck loser for the Thunder.

Game Two meant more heat, a little sloppier baseball and another Tides win. Iava and Big Jim Trevena earned the win and save respectively. Jason "El Guapo" Pithie had two hits, two runs, two runs batted in and sweated through two t-shirts in seven innings. Miggy and Iggy also chipped in with two runs batted in a piece. Special thanks to Doug Flutie who very graciously signed all autograph requests and posed for dozens of photos. We should all thank Doug for playing in this league he definately has given all of us a chance to play with a legend. On a related note, OB tried to follow Doug into the porta potty and luckily I was able to stop him before he embarassed himself.

It was free Scituate Tides autograph day on a sweltering sunday in Scituate. I signed two autographs (both checks to the umps) and Doug Flutie signed about 50 autographs. I guess he is more famous and sought after than the Tides. Rob Monti was a stud again on the hill, going the distance striking out seven and ginving up four hits. Tony Anderlonis drove in the lone run with two outs in the third, driving home Brian Cassidy. Blaine was the tough luck loser for Natick, as he was filthy all game long. Doug (he told me to call him that) was the hitting star for the Knights with two hits and a walk.

Game Two featured an offensive explosion for the Tides and probably our best pitching performance of the year, by our right fielder. Thom "My Head still Kind of Hurts" Holdgate working on 13 months rest threw what I think was a 92 pitch (85 of which were fastballs), five hit shutout. I later rewarded him for his effort by injuring him at 2:00 am in the morning. The offense was paced by Rob Monti who hit a homerun, in his fifth at bat of the season prompting all of the regular hitters in the dugout to promise to quit after the game. Tony Aderlonis had four hits and two rbi's and Miggy, Forte, Keefa, Monti all had two hits a piece. There were a million stories and even more good times from the weekend. Thanks to Wolfie and Sox for an awesome time. Thank you to my guys for making the baseaball as fun as the nightlife.

The experience of the weekend, baseball wise, was summed up by Danny O'Brien early in the sixth inning when he was overheard in the dugout saying "This is one of the three best days of my life." OB led the Tides with three hits, Greg "What team do you play for" Forte had two hits and caught all 18 innings and he was awarded the player of the weekend by Monti who first introduced himself to Forte. Monti was stellar in his first appearance coming off shoulder surgery and Tony "The only guy to bring his girlfriend" Anderlonis was a stud in relief. Quote of the day awarded to Phil "The Cooperstown ladies love him" Banks who said while telling one of his stories "The thing was going 6 G's, I don't know what that means but it sure sounds like alot." Miggy "Iggy definately tried to spoon me" Miranda hit an absolute bomb which was the difference maker in the game. On a related note Miggy has asked Iggy to sleep with him before every game.

First off, Happy Father's day to everyone. As for the game Phil "beano" Banks was the hitting star with two hits and four runs batted in. Forte, Stone and Igo also chipped in with multiple hits for each. Jason "I like it when you call me Big Papi" also broke his homerless streak with a solo bomb in the second. On the Hill Brian "Big Cas" Cassidy went eight strong giving up two runs on three hits. Brockton made it interesting in the ninth until Chris "Iggy" Igo finally slammed the door.

The story of the day was not the game but the work of one JL Murphy to ensure that the game could be played. JL arrived at the ballpark at 6:00 am, and despite three inches of rain over some portions of the infield was able to get the field ready for a 10:30 am start. For those of you that know JL you know how great he is not only as a baseball guy but also as just a guy. He kills himself for this team and in return never asks for anything, except a guaranteed at bat if Flutie pitches. As for the game Chris Igo was the hitting star, with three hits and three runs batted in. Also pacing the Tides fifteen hit attack with two hits a piece were Gainey, Miranda, Cassidy, Forte and Pithie. Once again the Tides also got great pitching from "everyday" Dave Iava. Special thanks also to CJ Robinson who donated 8 bags of Speedy Dry and his trash pump.

In yet another pitcher's duel, which seem to be the norm early this season, the Tides pushed one run across in the top of the sixth which proved to be the winner. Dave Iava was impressive on the hill, recording seven strikeouts and giving up only three hits. Thom "hit em where they aint" Holdgate, scored the winner after his infield single. The pitcher for Lexington was great, I only know that his name was Chuck, as they did not give us his name for the book. He truly was a tough luck loser as it appeared that we could have played all night before someone was going to put some hits together.

The Tides unfurled their Championship Banner in Centerfield in a celebrity laced celebration, which included Jenna Jameson throwing out the first pitch and Gary Discarcina serving as the Tides' honorary captain. The game was a typical early season pitcher's duel with plenty of errors on both sides. Brian Cassidy earned the win going seven strong and striking out 6, with "Crazy" Dave Iava picking up the two inning save striking out 5. The Tides offense was paced by Tom "H Special" Holdgate, who had two hits and two runs scored, Danny O'Brien who also chipped in with two hits and Miguel Miranda who also had two hits. Middlesex Pitcher Tarantino was the tough luck loser, and the victim of some questionable umpire calls, not that we are complaining.
