GAME 1

I'm back.

The lack of communication over the weekend was due much more to a lack of time than a lack of connectivity, although the latter played a bit of a role. In the limited time I had online, my connection dropped a couple of times, and once right as I was about to post a message saying that I didn't have time for any updates.

Anyway... Game 1 is in the books. Gerry and Jake go up 1 - 0. Jake takes a close 57-52 contest over Connor behind a 21 point game by Cole Hamels, and home runs from Derrick Lee and Mark DeRosa. Gerry easily beats Dale 65-32. A solid performance by Ryan Dempster along with a balanced offense were more than enough to cover Dale's weak showing.

Game 2 is Tuesday.
