Well boys, it has been a few weeks since the tourney and all I can say is it feels good to be champion. What a great time it was. Special Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Vandenboom as well as Rick, Ryan, and Jim for making everything possible. I am definetly looking forward to winning my third championship next year.

After considering my performance in last year's tourney I have decided to take a new approach to my training. In an effort not to repeat last year's humiliation, I get absolutely hammered drunk and have someone throw the ball while I try to make contact. Also, in the background is audio of Rick laughing and cracking wise. Hopefully, this training method will allow me to build my concentration and block out any distractions whilst improving my hand-eye coordination while intoxicated. Please contact me for a step-by-step training guide for 3 easy payments of $39.99.

I know the field is under construction, but all this wiffleball talk is making me ache for some plastic balls and bats. last fall we played on november 10th, so if this indian summer keeps up, i think we could definitely get a game in if there is enough people? just food for thought.

I would like to state that I will likely be coming home this weekend. I dont see any reason why we couldnt get in a game or two on saturday if the weather permits and if we can find enough people. Spread the word and we'll talk later in the week

i wish to make corrections to the misspelling of the name of the game. so whenever you see it spelled "whiffle" please correct it and/or contact a co-commissioner so they can see that it gets updated properly

This year, a new and improved sprinkler system was added to the field for better ongoing upkeep of the field and to eliminate the sometimes dangerous sprikler head along 1st base. Currently (October) the field is under repair as there has been an unexpected infestation of moles in the 3rd base/home plate area. We anticiapte this to be a temporary situation that is being combatted with poison, Tess, and a pitch fork. We have also been investigating the additional of a hearty seed mix this fall to help establish a foundation for heavy play in the coming year.
Also in the off season, there have been experiments with the traditional mostacholi recipe to fill the belly with less calories (we notived a number of growing waistlines at the 2008 tourney) but not to the point that beer drinking is uncomfortable.

It is so nice to see that Mrs. Vandenboom has our best interest and health in mind. However with that being said, it is the responsibility of the Professional Athlete to keep within their target weight. Being over certain limits could lead to danger on the field. A prime example of this would be when tim lost his shoe and almost his entire leg in muck. If he had been heavier he may have lost a leg. I applaud your efforts Mrs. Vandenboom! Hope to see you in the offseason.

First, I want to commend Rick on a wonderful job on the website. I find it very informative and accurate. Second, I'd like to answer the question as to the whereabouts of the three trophies. 1) Championship Trophy- due to assholishness on the part of my former roommates in Ann Arbor, it was thrown out in their recent move. I have disciplined them by killing them both and burying them in my backyard. I will spend most of the next year crafting a magnificent new trophy that shall shock and awe. I apologize for my embarassing behavior and any disrespect I've caused the LOWA and those involved. 2) Chris Clayton Trophy- is currently in possession of said roommates at their new apt and shall be retrieved in the next few weeks at the UM/MSU game. 3) Best Play Trophy- see #2
