We are the Champions !!!! (almost)
The mighty Demons don't even play this week and we're winners.
After pestering the Park District for updated Division V standings today, I found out the best news to ever come out of Demons camp ... We've won the Division.
At the very worst your Thursday night heroes will tie for the prestigious Division V crown for the first time in team history. With a 9-1 mark, the Demons have a two-game lead with two games to play. The worst we could do is tie the Merry Beavers and DT Tattoo for the title. We're 3-0 against those teams, which means the Demons are - beyond a shadow of a doubt - the most dominant bunch in Division V.
And if the Tattooists and the Beavers happen to lose on Thursday, we'll have the crown outright before we even step on the field next week. Even if that happens, all we need to do is win one of our final two games to make the title our own.
If there were ever a beer-league softball team to do a TV movie of the week on, it would be the Demons. Just take a look at our history:
Down in the dumps for many years, the Demons just couldn't get over the hump. Time and time again, the leader of this band of merry men - the Weamster - asked DOB to come out and play with the team. Time and time again, he was rebuffed.
Finally, in 2005, DOB gave in and said he'd join the Demons. From the very first game when DOB was nearly thrown out of the game, the Demons have been a different team. They've been a team with attitude. A team with grit. A team that shouldn't be messed with.
Of course, the Demons weren't without their problems. DOB did bring along some dead weight from the newsroom. But just like when the BoSox dumped Nomar and finally won it all, the Demons have turned the corner since kicking their whipping boy, Ed, to the curb.
Who knows how long the Demons' run of dominance will last?
After talking with one of the lords of the Park District today, it's not a sure-fire thing that we'll be bumped up to Division IV next year. But I'm sure the Park District won't want a dynasty like the Demons to run roughshod over the rest of the losers in Division V. There will likely be teams that don't want to come back to the league next year after suffering the wrath of the Demons.
Can't say that I'd blame them either. We're that damn good.
We'll be making plans on how to celebrate our championship next week. Should we pop some Cristal and light some stogies? Or just go with some of Nick the Quick's Keystone Light and bum a couple of cigs off of Marky Mark?
We'll figure it out.
Until next week.

What's even better? After I left the Demons, I actually DROPPED 15 pounds. All shall praise Sprague.
Considering all the balls you dropped, that isn't a surprise.
Hey, it was HARD WORK tracking down those fly balls in vain. It was even harder chasing those errors all the way back to the outfield wall.
You miss me and you know it.
=m=
Sprague dropping 15 pounds is as likely as him dominating the NAIA football scene, likely a figment of his own imagination. So long, Ed.
Right hand to God. Fifteen.
And I didn't play NAIA (Not Actually Intercollegiate Athletics), jackass.
DOB - You saying you brought a "little" dead weight is a bit of an understatement. Only those who talk about themselves and their stats all the time are trying to compensate for their lack of play. As the saying goes...actions speak louder than words.
To the last anon,
Hey, the proof is in the pudding. Without me, this team was a wayward bunch.
My touting of my own stats is merely a way of backing up my dominance at the Division V level.
If you had any nads, you'd say who you were instead of being an anonymous yokel.
Wait a minute. It doesn't matter what your name is!!!
Demons 4 Life!!
The QPD Division V 2007 Champs!!!
