Big Turnout for 1st Practice!

Posted by Mark Dietz at May 7, 2007 5:00PM PDT ( 0 Comments )
Over 36 prospective Cobalts (some pictured here) showed up for the first practice of 2007. Notably missing was Kwi Chang, the former Yakoot Swallow Japanese League Pitcher. But, the Cobalts did have a new pitcher from Lawrenceburg show...almost as far away. Deuce demanded Kwi's contract be negated due to his arrogance of not showing. Coach played April Wine to settle Deuce down after practice. Rest of the squad was raring to go and the Natches were chilled to perfection. Even Ol' Jake Smith (an original 1986 cobalt) came out to squat behind the dish. Defending the Championship Crown will not be easy, but this bunch seems ready!image

Didn't take Coach long to break his self-made promise to keep the Cobalts close to home this summer...just one Email and off we go to Cleveland for the Mosquito hosted 4th of July Tournament at the New Lorain PipeYard Stadium. The competition will look a lot like last year's NABF World Series with top notch competition from a 6 state region, including the World Series Champions - Cleveland Mosquitoes. When asked "why?" Coach just laughed and said, "heard they drink Natural Lite up there!" So, year #21 will again be filled with stories of the unreal as the Cobalts pack-up for another Road Trip...hide the womans and childs - Here Come the 'Balts! imageimage

Deuce Calls-Out Kwi Chang Signing

Posted by Mark Dietz at Apr 12, 2007 5:00PM PDT ( 0 Comments )
Angered by the signing of Kwi Chang, Deuce Hock has been working hard on a "Return to Glory" Deuce says he "wants the pill on the hill" and he's got the abs to prove it! Once a feared ACE of the staff, Deuce plans to send the Japanese former professional home "in a cargo ship full of rubber dog poop" We look forward to seeing the side-winding veteran return to form and pitch in those big games once again. (Kwi's response to Deuce Hock's challenge was not translatable)image

Cobalts Sign Former Japanese Pitching Star

Posted by Mark Dietz at Mar 27, 2007 5:00PM PDT ( 0 Comments )
Given the many retirements of some Cobalt regulars, Coach has been busy recruiting "Impact Players" for the 2007 season. Meet the newest Cobalt, Kwi Chang, formerly of the Yakoot Swallows of Japan. Kwi has just moved into the Cincinnati area and will be ready for the season opener in Mid May. He hopes to bring his family over later in the year - but until then, he will be a swinging bachelor hangin' with Deuce Hock. Look out Karaoke Ladies!image
