Dogs Hit their Stride! (7/8/2006) by Nelson Rivera
The Bulldogs appear to be hitting their stride, as they take over 2nd place in the Friday B League in Bolingbrook.  The Dogs knew how important this game was, as the only team between them and 2nd place was Players Inc.

Just three weeks earlier the Dogs were able to 10-run rule Players Inc., even though they had only 9-players on the field that day.  The Bulldogs were very well aware that they had just squeaked out a victory against one of the leagues better teams, while being short handed.

So coming into tonight, the Dogs knew that Players Inc. were going to be looking for revenge from their first match up.  But the Dogs were ready for the showdown themselves, as they knew that a victory over Players Inc was the only thing standing between them and 2nd place.  However, as fate would have it, Players Inc. had dropped their first game of a double-header, to Last Call, putting the Dogs in sole possession of 2nd place, even before the first pitch.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to further distance themselves from Players Inc., the Dogs put up 9-runs in the first inning, led by the big sticks of DH Kenny Benson and first baseman Tom Purl.  The Dogs finished the game in the 5th inning with 17-runs, while holding Players Inc. to only 5-runs.

With only one loss under their belt, the Bulldogs will be looking to keep the pressure on PB & J, who have yet to lose a game this year.  Next week the Dogs will be looking to further distancing themselves from the pack, as they take on Heavy Hitters (5-3) and Last Call (3-4).  The last time the Bulldogs and Heavy Hitters met, it was a high scoring affair with the Dogs winning 20-5.  This will be the Bulldogs first and only match up with Last Call.

 
Notes from the Webmaster (6/29/2006)
Ok, here's what I have been working on:
  • Forums, Blogs & Picture Gallery
  • Compiling Statistics
  • Forms

The 2006 Summer Stats are updated along with our current results for the season.

In addition, I have compiled and uploaded the stats from Summer 1995-1999.  I will be posting the stats for Fall 1995-1998 soon.  I am working with Jesus Cortes (original HC) to compile the remaining stats and the career stats.

Enjoy the updates and make sure to stop back often.

P.S.  If anyone has any suggestions for the Web site, be sure to drop me a line at nellie@bulldogsoftball.net.

Letter from the Editor

Ok, ok.  Point has been taken.  Why even have a Web site!  The messages came through loud and clear.  So I upped the ante and decided that if we are going to do this, then let's do this right.  So I secured us BulldogSoftball.net, as you may have already figured out, since you are reading this.

Seriously, I have been very busy over the last month-and-a-half and have not been able to keep up with this Web site.  Part of the problem is that I suffer from "analysis-paralysis".  I mull things over to the nth degree and then mull it over some more.  I'm working on that...

Well here's the first "update" to the Web site and the launch of BulldogSoftball.net.  I will try to keep up with the stats, which have been provided by Tom Purl.  As you can tell, there are some future plans for a Forums section (dubbed "The Dog Pound") and our very own Blog (dubbed "Canine Speak").

In addition, I have a former player of The Bulldogs (original member I might add) who is working on our "history" page.  Though many of the faces are new to the team and we've seen many hang up the cleats or move away, this team wouldn't be where it is today without the journey that we took to get here.  I intend to keep the history in tact and pay homage to all Bulldogs, past and present!

With that said, I thank you for your patience and will work to update the site soon.  I will be inviting many of the original Bulldogs to join us on this Web site and partake in the Forums and to keep up with what's going on.

I didn't have enough time to write a story, so here's the down-low.  We are 6-1 so far this season.  We've been bit by the injury bug the last couple of weeks, and with that time of the year for vacations, you find yourself looking out toward the parking lot wondering.  But we've suffered it well the past few weeks and look like we are beginning to hit our stride.  The stats are updated as of game 4.  I'm waiting for stats from Game 5 & 6 from Tom.  Then I'll post them here.

Go Bulldogs!
