Older T headed to MIlwaukee!!!

Older T will be making his Miller Park debut during Game 3 of the NLDS. He has just booked the flight and Brewers playoff drive awaits. When asked about the trip Shira said,"sure you can go you might not get another chance in your lifetime." She added, "Now I don't have to go on a trip to Milwaukee." Allie and Shira are hopeful they will see game one in Philly on Wednesday.

Lucky Dog 2008

Years ago I played in the A.E. Mascaro Boys Club Softball League. I was on a pitiful 0-7 team. However, each team made the playoffs. As we entered the playoffs, our family got a new dog Tabitha. My softball team won every game of the playoffs with Tabitha in attendence. We dubbed her "Lucky Dog" as we finished as 3-7 cha,ps!

Fast forward to 2008, the Brewers are mired in a slump & coughing away their post season chances. Rit and Erica get a new dog! Upon visiting them the Brew Crew wins Friday night with Lola in attendence. Sunday afternoon, Rit & Erica bring Lola to our parents were C.C. pitches a gem & Braun homers the Brew Crew into the playoffs.

Any Yankee or Met fan who would like to come along for the ride feel free to join the Brewers cheering section!

Monument Park

Friday Night Softball would like to say farewell to Yankee Stadium. After tonight's game the stadium will join Trinity 2 as ballfields no longer in use.

Thanks!

As we trade our softballs for wiffle balls this time of year we would like to say thanks once again thanks to everyone for all the support they gave us every friday night, and please we want more cowbell !!!

Pass The Tots

Rich Kosiba, George Wood, Joe Monacco, & Matt Donaldson all joined the ranks of players who have homered for the Friday Night Franchise. Donaldson hit two tots! The team set a franchise record for homers in a season with nine. The record has progressed steadily since 2005 and the franchise will need to add a big bat if they plan on breaking the nine homers in twelve game standard set this season. Mike Sgobbo moved into sole possesion of the career homer lead while Allie Tarantino slid into a tie for second.
