At Orlando (3-9, 3-8, 6-2)
Well, Denver and I are tied for the lead and a 19 for magic number. Richard Davis still had his bat but forgot how to pitch. Maybe I need to move him to the OF or something. Lance Clark led the way for Orlando going 3-4 with 3 RBI. Barney Cordova did not have the best outing in game 2 and got the loss and is now 13-10. Michael Price hits #31 and drove in 2. Jesse Poteet went 3-4 with 2 RBI. Well the good news in game three was that we won and John Dice started the game. The bad news was 2 innings (and 2 runs allowed) in he got hurt and is now out for 5 weeks. Also on this same day Blake Everett complained and said he was a starter. Nolan Peters will get a shot now.

Vs New York (5-7, 11-10, 3-0)
Right now, down 1 game and 16 to make it up in. Game 3 was won by Barney. He pitched an 8 hit shutout vs Franklin Trosclair. In game 1, Leonard 'Dark Horse' Tooley went deep twice and had 6 RBI. Game 2 was lost when Arthur Freshour gave up 2 runs in the 9th. I was up 7-1 heading into the 6th and gave up 2,2,4 and 2. GRRRR!

Vs Orlando (1-9, 6-9, 8-7)
Now 2 games back. I do not know what it is, but whatever pitcher I put in Blake's spot gets hurt, so I will move him back there. Nolan Peters in game 2 got hurt and didn't pitch that well, but he is day-to-day for 2 weeks. SS Lee Brannigan and 3B Mark Isham both had 2 hits and 3 RBI with a HR each. Kenton Smith went 4-4 in the win.

At Dallas (3-4 (11), 8-2, 0-8)
Not much to say as the window of opportunity is the size of a pinhole right now. Nothing else to comment on.... I am bitter! I have San Diego next and then 3 with Denver so all is not completely lost, but I need to win 5 of 6 with all 3 Denver games as wins.

Vs San Diego (7-2, 0-6, 4-3)
The Magic # for the Diablos is 4 and I have 3 games with them this next series.

At Denver (3-4, 7-11, 8-4)
It's over congrats to the Diablos. The loveable losers fade down the stretch as they can not get over the hump and get into the playoffs for the first time in franchise history.

I end the year with a sweep of the Dallas Lawmen at Detroit Stadium and as Arthur Freshour pitches to the last batter the near sellout crowd is on its feet and gives the team a standing ovation for their year of hard work and near miss of the playoffs. End of year wrap-up coming next.
