2011 Wood Baseball Club Preview

Welcome to the season, and welcome to the first Wood Baseball Club Blog. This blog will be for game recaps, statistics, and all types of Wood Tomfoolery. Basically it will contain no information of any value or intelligence. With that said, I give you the first entry...

Looking to build on rising success in 2010, Wood Baseball Club will strap on their cleats, pine tar their bats, and shave their bikini lines for another glorious season starting Saturday. Despite being knocked out in the quarter finals of last year’s Naba playoffs, Wood hit all time highs in wins, runs, and strikeouts of opposing hitters with called third strikes over a batter’s head (1). Last season Wood made the post-season for the first time in team history and iced the cake with the first playoff win as well. Despite the unfamiliar territory in 2010, expectations for Wood are high in 2011 and I’m not just talking about Dave’s bedroom, which has seen a busy off-season.

Bolstered by a deep pitching staff, strong defense, and a contingency of dedicated fans (pictured here just before an inebriating blackout), Wood expects nothing short of a 2nd consecutive playoff appearance and Jacque Cousteau-esk plunge
deep into the depths of the Naba playoffs.

Recently I was able to track down Wood manager Brandon Sides coming out of a club (pictured below) with three chicks dressed as bumble bees hanging on him. “Wooooooooooooooooooooood,” was all he yelled right before he vomited on one of the bees, when asked about his team’s chances this season. Shortly afterwards he was seen wearing only a pair of woman’s undergarments writing, “Wood Is Good,” on several Girls’ breasts outside of Ruby Skye Nightclub.

2010 Record 12-8 (4th in Ocean Division)

Playoffs:

Beat Diablos 1st round

Lost to Isotopes Quarter Finals

Key Additions:

99 times out of 100 when another man approaches you in the gym locker room with a towel draped over his shoulder and only a sock over his privates, you are about to get sodomized, but in Dan Deane’s case, he was subjected to just a little taste of Wood recruiting. Propositioned, at a nearby gym, outfielder extraordinaire Dan Deane is the man, I mean outfielder, Coach Sides has always dreamed of. Deane will play his in his first career game Saturday, and most importantly bring a hot girlfriend to join The Woodettes; Wood’s world renown cheering fan base.

His debut will be shared with infield phenom Matt Moyer who will also play his first game this weekend. Matt’s spectacular fielding at shortstop and strong bat are dazzling, but there really is only one question everyone is wondering. Who will be the first Wood player to break his glove hand catching a Moyer laser throw this season?
