We are all familiar with this banner...but what we are not used to is: WHO WE PLAYING AND WHEN?
I've been asked that question a lot over the past few days, and all I can point to is the last post by Commish Rob Terry. It says that we are Seed 5 and so if you look at the way the playoffs have been run...we tentatively face (7-7) Team Video. Until / unless I hear otherwise, that's our opponent.
The Vo Sox had a couple of games against them last year. Coach Bruce and I plan to sit down and go over those games and see if there is any edge we can gain. Don't be fooled by the 7-7 record. This team has beat USA Today 10-6 and NPC 17-4. They were in a tight one with AOL as well. So, they will have our undivided attention come July 12th at 9:15 AM.
I think there is quite a bit of rumbling around the league about the delays in the MMSL postings...but I still have to give them the benefit of the doubt. We have a massive league and we are filled with a bunch of nosey, impatient journalists. 
I guess if we had been here before, my opinion might be different, but I just can't get past the happiness of being in the tournament at Cabin John. We are a very strong team and therefore, I don't care who we play. To be the best, one must beat the best.

Great site guys! Here's something you could add. Cut and paste the following:

In the tradition of our opponents picking on Mason
see here: http://www.20minutemen.org/?p=186
here's some video from WUSA's site of Mase making a horrible throw to third which allowed a run. My theory is he did it on purpose, by commiting the error himself, he prevented his ERA from climbing above Marty's. BUT the next play is Philibuster defense at it's best. Sean catches a fly in right, fires the ball in to the cutoff George, who really has his head in the game. He guns the ball over to third where Bill catches it and punches the female baserunner in the face with his glove, ensuring the out, and bringing to mind a previous play at third that resulted in a season ending leg injury, which he "allegedly" had nothing to do with.

Hey Jared...what the heck is a sneaky chetah?
Yeah, I saw both and agree. I also love how Mason is called the Allbritton loudmouth...but in a complimnetary way.
I hope others read your post, but I will create it's own blog post sometime soon.
There are other videos of us against WUSA too, but the one with Mason "protecting" his ERA and Bill laying the smackdown on a female player is the best.
