DFW @ TRY

Dallas Fort Worth came to town as the crack Haymakers IP group finally gets their Net-play up and running. (Also many thanks to Steve for the consult!) The Haymakers drop 3 of 4 but three of the games were nail-biters. (Check out the boxscores below)
So as the Haymakers vlose out thier homestand for the first block, much can be said about what the team has learned so far. They can't win with Vernon Wells hitting .211 in the 3rd spot of the lineup and Chris Carpenter cannot start every game. Some good things is that so far Scott Olsen is pitching better than expected and Macier Izturis has done nicely at the bottom of the order (probably contributing to Crawford being second on the team in RBI's!)
I have had a bunch of fun so far and look forward to playing a lot more games on net-play. (now that I got it working) All I know is I'm much better than HAL!

Game 1:
The Haymakers win 5 to 4 thanks to the bull-pen and Carl Crawford going 3 for 4 with 2 ribbies.

Game 2:
The Spurs win 4 to 2 on some late socring opprotunities by Dallas Fort Worth. The Haymakers jumped to an early 2-0 lead but couldn't hold it as Guillen hit a big solo shot in the 8th inning to take the lead. Guillen ended up 2 for 4 with 3 RBI's. The Spurs scored a ninth inning run to win 4 to 2.

Game 3:
The best game of the series where Kenny Rogers bested Scott Olsen in a masterful pitching duel. Olsen pitched 8 innings giving up only three hits, although unfortunetly for the Haymaker fans one of them was a solo home run to Travis Hafner. Rogers and Rincon both combined for the shutout, scattering 8 hits and 1 walk between the pair.

Game 4:
A blowout by the Spurs where they won 10 to 2. Bonds went 3 for 3 with a homer and 4 RBI. Jason Jennings pitched a complete game giving up only 9 hits and 1 walk. Utley hit a home run and a double in the loss.
