I have been doing a little work on the site,
hoping that we are going to be able to get back into things over the
Christmas Vacation. So all the videos are back up so you can begin to
watch them. In the very near future
you are going to be able to order DVDs. I am currently working on this
system so please check back in a few days and see the updates.
Thanks,
Mike |

The
Greatest Comeback You Will Ever See
It was a sunny afternoon at Classic Custom Field. In the
end though, it was very gloomy for residents of Poestenkill. It started
off with the game that was picked up from Sunday. The Cougars failed to
come through, blowing many opportunities to score. The final ended up
being 15-14 in favor of the Bums. The Cougar players were looking for
blood. |

The Fourth of July: Celebrating
America’s Game
Tuesday, July 4th is a day where families get together to watch
fireworks and eat ice cream, cake, etc. But for wifflers around the
United States, this day is also a day to celebrate not only our
country’s independence, but the great game of wiffleball. |

Mark Pitches Gem as Cougars rout
Irish, 24-2
Coming off of an injury, Josh Sprague got the nod in just the second
game of the young Fighting Irish season. He was set to face off against
undefeated Cougars pitcher, Mark Fitzpatrick. Though his Runs Against
Average was through the roof, Fitzpatrick took the hill with full
confidence. |

Gone, but Won’t be Forgotten
As the 2006 GKWL season shifts into summer gear, bad news has swarmed
the league. The Hendrickson brothers, Mike and Nick, will be moving to
Sacramento shortly, and will no longer be full time Bums. The league
will honor them by possibly creating a hall of fame, and no other Bum
will ever wear the number 5 again (the number worn by Mike
Hendrickson). |

ET Finally Gets It
Cougars
rookie second baseman Earl Turner, commonly known as ET or Mr.
Fantastic, is finally understanding the GKWL. Slowly climbing into the
role of “solid”, the Cougars think they may have found a worthy
candidate to replace All Star Kyle Brown. |

Cougars Win a Tight one against
Averill Park
While
everyone got off the bus on Wednesday, May 31st 2006, one thing was on
everybody’s mind. Wiffleball. They all knew that they were in a close
race in the division, and were ready to prove themselves at 3:30. |

Cougars Lay an Egg in Memorial Day
Thriller
The
Colehamer Cougars and the Averill Park Sea Bass matched up against each
other in a Memorial Day game that will certainly stick in the Cougars
memory for a long time. After an embarrassing game one in a Sea Bass
doubleheader, the boys from Averill Park were ready to strike. |

Cougars fight back, but Fall Short
The Colehamer Cougars faced their first defeat of the season against the
Poestenkill Bums. Matt Fischer threw aspirin tablets to Cougars
hitters, striking out massive numbers of people. Scott
Fitzpatrick, Cougars pitcher, was on his game as well, creating a
pitchers duel at Triscari Field.

Cougars Walk
Off With a Win
For the first time in the 2006 regular season, the arch rivals Colehamer
Cougars and Poestenkill Bums faced off. The Cougars were in search
of their 40th win in franchise history, and the Bums had their eyes on a
half game lead in their division. An important game it was, and
also one where you wish nobody had to lose. Today set history.
The first walk-off home run in wiffleball history, and the farthest home
run was also hit today, as well as the first triple play...one player
accomplished all this. If you missed it, well, shame on you. |

An Ugly
Opener for Cougars, but a Victory Nonetheless
On a windy afternoon at Triscari Field, on April 17th, the Gamerskey
Wiffleball League held their season opener. The matchup was the
Brunswick Fighting Irish going head to head with the World Champion
Colehamer Cougars. Dylan Sprague took the hill for the Irish and
Mark Fitzpatrick got the nod for Colehamer. |

Few Site
Changes
With the season getting ready to start, I am going to be making a few
changes to the site. Some of them are going to be visible others are
not. |

Another exciting week of GKWL action has been put to rest as we
motor towards winter break. New teams have registered, a team
has changed their name, the website has been revamped, and the
Cougars pulled one out to start the week, so lets get started on
this week’s wiffleball action.

New starter, converted setup man, Mark Fitzpatrick made his
first appearance of the season. The Brunswick Fighting
Irish came to town ready to play some wiffleball. It looks
like they’ve been practicing hard at Winter Training, and it
paid off as together, they bombed 7 homers off of Cougars
pitching. 5 off starter Mark Fitzpatrick. Somehow
though, the Cougars held their own and squeezed out a 23-20
victory.

The latest news out of the GKWL is that more stats will be kept
during the upcoming season. A few of which include batting
average, runs against average and on-base percentage.
These are important stats and will contribute to the production
of several new awards following the 2006 season. Although
the league would like to see these particular stats being kept
for each team, it is the responsibility of each franchise to
keep batting average and on-base percentage.

Bash Brothers Boost Cougars to 8-4
Victory
It was a chilly 30 degree afternoon at the frozen tundra of Triscari
Field, but Mark Fitzpatrick’s hot bat sizzled even more. He
racked in a round tripper and five RBIs in just one inning to push
the Cougars over the top. Kyle Brown returned to the starting
lineup for the first time this season, and Scott Fitzpatrick pitched
a flawless eight innings on the hill. |
