RA League Playoffs
With info from TC
Valley Raiders hammered the Orleans Rebels in Game 5 at 7PM on Monday night. Final score was 14-0. Terry Flannery had a no-hitter until Rebel Jason Naylor stroked a two-strike, two-out double in the seventh inning. Terry struck out the next batter, finishing with a one-hitter. Credit the Rebels left-handed pitcher Cory Alkerton. He never gave up.
Shawville Snappers had previously beaten Ed Taylor's team in the other semi-final.
Game 1 of the finals was scheduled to start immediately after the 7 PM game. However, the first-place Shawville Snappers did not agree to the schedule and did not show up. Valley won Game 1 by default, 7-0. Shawville had asked for the game to be rescheduled, but their modest request was rejected by the league convener. Shawville Fair and the long weekend likely had something to do with their absence.
Games 2 and 3 are supposed to be a double header on Wednesday. The finals originally were supposed to be best-of-five, but have been shortened to best-of three.

Mark Fish continues to put his brilliant stamp on Ottawa fastball. His legacy can only be compared to Bob Rae`s days as Ontario premier. Except Ontario continued to exist after he left, whereas Ottawa fastball may not. Ten years of screwing fastball players ought to be enough. It`s time the RA found a new man, perhaps someone that isn`t a slow-pitch star.
I also never mentioned that I got thrown out and not allowed to play in the finals!
I made some comments about Mr Fish to one of our teammates and that email got forwarded to Fishy by accident, and he replied to that teammate saying I was banned from the RA and the premesis. I would like to post the email that I sent before these comments were passed on to Mark, if there is interest, I will pass it on to Adam. Bottom line, it is a JOKE to schedule a playoff game on a holiday MOnday. We didn't even play on August 1st so why the hell should we agree last minute to play on Labour Day!!!
