APPLES SLEEP WELL

Avoid Third Lose In A Row
Nice Not to Lose

Provda
Nashville TN

Following two consecutive weeks which saw them end up on the losing side of the final score, the Apples were once again able to sleep well last night after avoiding what would have been a club record 3 straight losing weeks.

To continue a common theme of the year, it was determined at the teams breakfast yesterday that the Apples would be missing 2 key starters going into the night and they would be again forced to flip flop the lineup to cover the holes left by the absences of slugger Greg Treep and gold glove winner Tiffany Smith.

" No question it's been difficult to get our mojo going this season with all the hick ups we've had in the lineup this year" said AGFHOF Don Bernitt. "I guess the only good thing that you can say is that the Apples have established quite a reputation and following in the area and that sometimes makes it easier to fill the open seats on the bench" concluded Bernitt.

"It's nice to get this losing monkey off our backs" celebrated 2008 Rookie Of The Year candidate Scott Quinlin as he didn't join the rest of the Apples for a late night dinner at a local Nashville steak house. "I'll toast to that" chimed Catcher Brooke Byram as she and Captain My Captain Tony Byram enjoyed their first non losing Wednesday night in 3 weeks. "No doubt, losing stinks and the past few weeks have not been fun" panned Outfielder Patty Pender as she enjoyed a few iced teas with teammates as the evening ended and brought the mid week ritual of Apples Coed Softball to a close.

And so it was, the Apples get off of the losing train and will now standby to hear from League Commissioner Sammy Metz when and where they will make up last nights rained out game and when we will next hear that now famous cheer.................

How bout them Apples!
