"There's only one thing left to do..."
We've done it. We scratched and clawed our way to the last and final games of the 2008 season. Ladies and gentlemen the Bears are going to the Championship round. 2 out of 3 for all the marbles against one of our long standing rivals: Coppersmith's.

And we got there in dramatic fashion. Totally trounced and falling apart in game two of round two which took us to a deciding game three. With short memories we played a dramatic game of back and forth, pushed ourselves into extra innings, and won on a controversial yet deciding play at the plate to catapult us into tomorrow's finals.

We play for everything tomorrow. It's time to put it ALL on the line. ========================================================== The Positives: We're in the Championship.

The Negatives:
Not a chance in hell. None of it matters now. Everything up to this point is in the past. Whatever faults we may have had in getting here is irrelevant. Time to put it all out there and take down a team that I guarentee has already written us off.
==========================================================

And now it's time for the Bears "Geico Playoff Round 2MVP Award"!
The 'Cap is handing out MVP's for each round and then a Player Of The Year will be determined at season's end.
Round 2 had a shaky start but ended on the right side for us. While we ALL should be commended for our extremely short memories concerning game one, I'll want to give Round 2 MVP honors to Scotty "Draft This" Foster.

Showing up with an ear full of cotton and a nose stuffed with snot, Scott refused to man the bench due to illness and took his spot on the field. Playing like Florence Nightingale had was fixing his head as he played, Scott turned in a beautiful performance at the plate and some serious range and dedication in the field. The most consistent play in two very rough games helped position us to where we are.

Congratulations Phlegm Muffin, you are Round 2 MVP!!!!! ==========================================================

It's time for another episode of "Overheard/Thoughts at the Bar Thoughts:
1: I still can't believe we're going for it all.
==========================================================
Other Business: THE FINALS!!!!
NEXT GAME: The whole fucking thing - Wednesday, August 20th, 6:15 Field One.
Gentlemen - you will never see a calmer more ready person than myself for tomorrow night. We have came a very long way and all we can do at this point is basically what we've done to get here: play our best. And be well aware that our opponent isn't going to take us seriously at all. I promise you they think this thing is already won. Let's show them otherwise, because...

"There's only one thing left to do....win the whole fuckin' thing!"
