Just a reminder...and in case we've missed anyone...

The Hopyard opens its doors on Saturday July 11, 2009 at 7pm in celebration of the Barlass / Frank wedding. Players and fans alike are welcome to roam the grounds until all hours of the night. Beverage and music provided. Rumor has it there may also be sparklers.

Matriwiffle to follow on Sunday for those of strong constitution. Current schedule shows a 4pm start, but I think we can manage it a bit earlier if participants are willing. I move for a 1:08p start.

Update: Today's game is scheduled to start at 2 pm at GapBridge

Due to even further scheduling difficulties, the Wifftober epic has been stretched to two days. . Saturday's game will be at HST and will only go 9 innings. The score will be carried over to Sunday's series finale at GapBridge. This game will go until there is a winner.

In order to get your name added to the trophy (at a later date), you must participate in both games. Full stats will be kept and posted within 7-10 working days. Write-ups and photos will be expected from multiple sources.

I will be providing a keg of Switchback to travel to both games. If we are so lucky, I feel a few beers at Dan's on Saturday would be prudent.

Gents, this is for all the marbles, the bragging rights, a winter's worth of insults.

The Great Ox has spoken. NOTE: Game time change. Come one come all. Whatever it takes. Bring the kids. Old School rules.

I have a Hot Rod, a Howell and a Lymer in for a Sunday afternoon wiffling. Call it a 2:07 start. Field preps to begin an hour or so earlier. Any other takers?

Families welcome...though there will be fewer berries and snakes for entertainment at this time of year.

Wifftober is in the air. Loggers and Lagers battle for first place this Saturday.

Players and/or families are welcome to after game grillin' and hangin'if the weather is friendly.

GAME TIME 3:07 SHARP.

Please join the Lymer and I in breaking in the new digs this Sunday. There will be burgers, dogs and beer provided. Appetites seeking other fare can BYO. Families certainly welcomed.

As the week wears on I will be getting the backyard in shape for an inaugural wiffle. Perhaps I can even post a few photos as the evolution progresses if I can ever remember to get my camera cable back from the Hot Rod.

Game start time is up for discussion. Party starts at 2pm regardless. What works best for everyone?

beginning at about noon on friday the special ladyfriend and i will start loading up the gypsy wagons for the great moving marathon, putting an end to my long apartmented past. i anticipate we will be in constant motion until sometime sunday evening.

if anyone out there in Wiffledom (men, women, children all included) should feel the need for fresh air, physical exertion or just a couple hours out and about...we could probably use a hand.

sweat on the brow will be met with cold beverages. rumble in the belly will be silenced by the finest meats and cheeses throughout the land.

In honor of very good friends of mine visiting from Germany, Hunter S. Thompson Memorial Greens will host "Ich bin ein Wiffler" on July 27th from 10-1pm.

This will be a celebration of the best of America and the best of Germany. Quite simply put; beer, brats, and wiffle. Bring your game, your grill, some sausage, and some reputable bier.

The Bristol Lagers (3-3) will travel to GapBridge Feild in Lincoln to battle their division rival, the Loggers (3-3), SUNDAY, July 13. Game time is 8:55 AM SHARP.

Hunter S. Thompson Memorial Greens presents the wiffle event of July, WIFFDEPENDENCE DAY, because May isn't the only month for over the top wifftravaganzas. Celebrate the country's independence and your utter dependence on wiffle.

Potluck barbecue immediately following the parade, burgers and dogs provided, bring a dish, in fact leave a comment saying what you are bringing, and we could use a grill or two. I may even provide a wee barrel of festive beverage.

Game to start around 1 pm or so.
