The Bad News fell to ‘5 Dollar Haircut’ by a score of 13 to 1 in the bottom of the 6th inning. With a girl that couldn’t catch in left field and a guy wearing tapered blue jeans at first base the Bad News had high hopes early on. When asked what he thought The Bad News' chances were, Coach Nash stated “Yeah looks like we have a good shot tonight; they don’t look very strong in the field and

After losing to Team Tuttle in mid-May, the Bad News was able to make the necessary adjustments in the playoffs, blanking the team that knocked them out of the bracket last year, winning by a score of 6-0 at the East River Drive fields.Through four innings, the Bad News operated with the slimmest of margins, thanks to an RBI single from Frank Stingone. But the fifth inning was when the News were

Despite numerous ducks left on the pond, the Bad News were victorious in their first round playoff game against Innovation, by the score of 4-0, providing another proof point to support the old adage that, “Defense gets you through the playoffs.”Defensively, the Bad News defense allowed no runs over the course of the full seven-inning contest.

In the ho-hum early game of a late-June doubleheader, the Bad News dispensed with Silver Lining by the score of 11-2. Not that it was needed, but the News may have been given an inadvertent assist from the umpire, who called the game after five innings. The ump's explanation to the whining Lining was a combination of time being out and creative math, as it appeared he had the Bad News ahead by 10

After cooling their heels for 90 minutes, before shaking off the doldrums during a sluggish first inning (all thanks to the Commish's first customary scheduling snafu of the season), the Bad News channeled their restlessness into softball, pummeling Macy's in a 12-to-1 win.The News got hot in the second inning, scoring four runs, and played solid for the remainder of the game, stringing together

Freed from the confines of the Coleman Oval for the first time this season, the Bad News delivered a shellacking to Transurban, triumphing in 2 and 2/3 innings after Transurban threw a hissy fit and quit. By then, the score was already 25-2, and the time for saving face was long past.In a game full of offensive feats, the Bad News batted around not once, but twice, in the first inning -- and the

In a game where the home team always seemed to be several runs a step behind, the Bad News suffered its first loss of the season last Monday, falling to Team Tuttle by the score of 13-7.The News did show some signs of scrappiness over the course of the game. Down by four and with two outs in the second, Frank Stingone had a big hit, bringing home a pair of runners to get the News back in the game

In an annual rite of spring, Scared Hitless (The Team Formerly Known as the Screaming Yaks), fell to the Bad News in six innings, by the score of 9-4.The renaming proved foolishly prophetic, as Scared Hitless saw its serious attempts at a rally thwarted in successive innings by the Bad News middle infield.

In a solid start to the 2008 campaign, the Bad News dispatched with the Legal Aid Society in five innings, by the score of 6-1.After the teams exchanged single runs in the second, the Bad News exploded for five runs in the third. The first three batters of the inning -- Jay Bergen, Damian Nash and Chrissy Korney -- all singled, and Julie Murphy would reach base later in the inning to load the

While it's still anyone's guess as to when the Commish will get around to hosting her annual Holiday Soiree (and presenting us with our official trophies, frames, and/or paper certificates of participation), and in spite of a tough loss in the playoffs, let it be known that the Bad News did take first-place in the league's Northern Division last year. Here's the final standings:

We lost to stupid Team Tuttle again yesterday. Though we did string together a decent bottom of the sixth to make it a game. Raul Chiriboga had a big hit to bring in two of that inning's runs. David DaCosta had three hits. Those were pretty good. One of them brought home another run. But the key play of the game was probably me calling in the score to the Commish this morning.

Even with the playoffs a thing of the past, the Bad News found a way to stay motivated, playing for bragging rights and inherent-self respect, in an 8-2 win over Legal Aid Society.Before settling into its defensive groove, the Bad News gave up a pair of runs in the top of the first, eventually storming back with four runs in the bottom of the inning and ensuring that the fate of the game was
