Sorry folks! Park's closed...

The moose out front should've told you!

After the rainout last night, the schedule will be pushed back a week, so last night's game will be played at 9 p.m. on August 5. The full schedule for the remainder of the season will be released during the bye week.

Remember NO GAMES on July 29 as the park is closed. So don't be a moron and go to the park on Wednesday.

SPD Tabor Bombs Gameday: Week 2

vs.
Tabor Bombs (1-0) vs. Senate (1-0), 9 p.m. Field #2

It's Wednesday and it's raining again. A 30% chance of showers until gametime, so it looks like we'll play. I'd say Chuck Klein staff would like to get play in tonight with the park shut down for a week. Get your Accuweather Forecast here. Weather.com is soooo 2006.

But enough about the damn weather! It's time to get ready for another T-Bombs victory. Fresh off the season-opening victory, the T-Bombs set atop the Rec League standings. Of all the 1-0 teams, the T-Bombs scored the most runs in week 1. Senate is also 1-0 with a 7-6 victory over DOC-2.

T-Bombs make roster move
In case you've been living on an island and don't know. Starting secondbasewoman Lisa "Doo-Doo" T. is out for the season. You may have caught her wheeling around the office or on crutches. Doctors confirmed our worst fears and Doo-Doo did suffer a season-ending leg injury. Lisa T. was moved to the 60-day disabled list.

It didn't take the T-Bombs long to fill the void as Tuesday they signed journeywoman infielder Megan, who played third base on The Spuds last year. Megan (photo courtesy of Facebook) will move to second base and wear the No. 8 jersey, worn by Mel Belle M. in the spring.

"Were excited to have Megan back," Coach Kyle said. "She brings a good glove and a good bat. We're gonna miss Doo-Doo, but Megan brings the same kind of intensity. She may not use as much foul language, but she's got the fire."

Coach Thoughts
For our entire existence, we’ve been the dadgum loveable losers. BUT NOW WE’RE ON TOP OF THAT MOUNTAIN. I wanna know who’s gonna fight to stay on top of that mountain. Don’t let nobody push you off of that mountain! That Senate team don’t care that we won last week, because they won too. In their minds, they should be where we are. They think they should be on top on that mountain. We’re gonna find out how we play with a target on our backs this week. Gonna find out who wants it! If that Senate team thought passin’ that budget was tough, they ain’t seen nothin’. Because they’re about to get ‘em a taste of them Taborbombs! LET’S GET FIRED UP!!!

Report: Lisa "Doo Doo" T. placed on 15-day DL

The Indianapolis Star is reporting that Tabor Bombs secondbasewoman Lisa "Doo Doo" T. will miss 4-6 weeks, and possibly the rest of the season, due to an ankle injury.

Doo Doo injured the ankle on a slide into second base in last night's 17-5 T-Bombs victory.

"This injury leaves us with an open spot in our roster for the time-being We need to start looking right now for a female player for next week. Without Lisa, we only have 3 girls which means we would have to take an out every time through the order."

Victory!! SPD pounds IEDC 17-5

Big two-out hits and a total team effort were part of a big win for the SPD Tabor Bombs.

The T-Bombs exploded in the final innings to derail IEDC 17-5 to start the season 1-0. "Handsome" John H. was 4 for 4 with 5 runs batted in while Coach Kyle and "New" Joe each batted in 3 runs.

Leadoffman "Webmaster" Jeff reached base 4 times and scored 4 runs. Joy "Toy" also reached base 4 times, had an RBI and scored twice.

The win came at a cost as secondbasewoman Lisa T. injured an ankle sliding into second in the 5th inning. LT finished the game as catcher, but her status is unknown pending an MRI on Thursday.

Kyle (1-0) pitched all 5 innings for the T-Bombs, who trailed 2-1 after one inning.

Notes: "Cookie" Janet had her first hit of her SPD career lining a single to right center in her first at-bat...SPD had a rare 3 up, 3 down inning on defense in the 4th inning...IEDC had an inside-the-park-HR...SPD turned a double play on a flyball to left - if you're scoring at home that play went 7-6-3...

Coach Kyle Unplugged
On team's performance...
Boy, I’ll tell ya, I couldn’t be prouder of this team. We showed a lot of heart and a lot of effort tonight and, all-in-al, put together a pretty solid performance. I tell these guys all the time, “hey, don’t quit. Be a competitor” and boy they sure showed that tonight. I’ll admit I was a little nervous in the beginning, ya know, we came out a little shaky. But once we settled down, we got into a groove. The 2-out hits were huge. Ya know, it all goes back to that don’t quit mentality. You gotta go to the plate with 2 outs and attack the ball the same way you would if there were 0 outs, and we did a great job of that tonight. Big big team win.

On John's 4 for 4 performance...
Ole John sure made me look like a genius tonight. He’s a solid performer through and through, so I wanted to put him in a spot where I felt he could really contribute and make the biggest impact. You just can ask for much more than 4-4 with 5 RBI out of your clean-up spot.

On the Lisa T injury...
Yeah, it looks like we might lose her a little while. At first we thought it might just be a bruised foot, but now it looks a little more serious. We should know more in the next few days. You hate to see someone with Tabor’s intensity go down while making a hustle play. Obviously we’re gonna miss her being out there. She was our emotional leader for sure, but, hey, the season must go on. We’re gonna have to make some personnel decisions over the next week, but we’re definitely hopeful that we’ll get Tabor back out there at some point this season.

On big contributions from all of the four T-Bomb ladies...
I’m real proud of our ladies. They all played extremely hard. They were all real patient at the plate and gave themselves a chance. Cookie had the biggest hit from the ladies side tonight, and Tina and Joy did a great job of getting themselves on base and letting the boys drive ‘em in. I felt like they played with a lot of confidence tonight and I hope that we can keep that going for the next 9 games. I guarantee ya we don’t score 17 runs without them playing as well as they did tonight.

On throwing strikes on the mound...
Well, I had a little bit of a hip injury in the spring that I think really effected my performance, even though I didn’t want to admit it then. As games would go on, It would get pretty fatigued and cause me to get sloppy in my motion and be inconsistent with hitting the strike zone. It’s 100% now, and I’m feeling pretty strong. I’ve been pitching on two other teams this summer, so I feel like I’m in the best condition I’ve been in for a while.

On SPD over .500 for the first time ever...
Hey, I ain’t never surprised about a win, because I come out every game expecting to win. You might as well not even show up if you think you’re gonna lose. With that said, it sure feels good to be a winner. We can walk around and brag to our buddies that we’re in first place. We’re gonna enjoy this one for a day, but then it’s back to work because that Senate team ain’t gonna give a dadgum that we won when they play us next week. Everybody on the team’s gotta remember that the next game is the most important one because it’s the next one. It’s a 10 game season which means we gotta come ready to play for the next 9 games or this win don’t mean squat.

Coach Thoughts:

It’s a great day to be a fighting Taborbomb! Start of the season always reminds me of a little story: One day there was this Indian fella standing on the corner selling arrow heads. A pretty woman walked by, and he raised his hand and said “Chance!” Another pretty woman walked by, and again, he raised his hand and said “Chance!” After seeing this a few times, another man who was selling oranges came over to him and asked “Hey feller. Ain’t you supposed to be saying ‘Hao’?” The Indian turned to the man and said “Me know how, me want chance!” That’s how I feel about our team this season. We know how to become a winning team…we just need a chance to prove it. Now let’s get stinkin’ pumped!
