SLIGO AND HIGH MESA WIN 3RD IN A ROW
The Sligo Rovers and High Mesa Mustangs are both on a tear... yesterday the Rovers ripped Pro Cup favorite Marston 8-1 and the Mustangs muscled past Denton City 11-7... it was their third straight wins in the best-of-seven series... after dropping the first two games, defending Pro Cup titleholder Crystal Lake got back into its series with Valmara, pounding the Vipers 9-6 in game three... and Oxford took a 2-1 lead over the Ginza Ninjas with a 7-5 triumph.

i'm going with the Marston Nine, too. :eatpop:

Ugh.. i spoke too soon. Hopefully, the Nine can rally. Otherwise, i'll need another team to root for...

Me, too... really missed it this year... don't think Marston will win 4 straight.from Sligo… the Rovers really have good pitching... and they are hitting much better than I thought.

Ugh, that Rover rotation is tough. It may take an Earl Weaver type team (power & pitching) to beat them.

3 TEAMS HANGIN' ON, SKIPS IN TROUBLE
Three teams are rolling in the clover and three are just barely hangin' on to the edge of the proverbial cliff in the perilous Islandian Pro Alliance Pro Cup playoffs... Sligo, Valmara and High Mesa have huge 3-1 leads in their series, while Pro Cup favorite Marston, last year's Pro Cup winner Crystal Lake and Denton City are very much in peril of elimination... to stay in the postseason playoffs the latter trio will have to do the almost impossible... they will have to win four consecutive games to advance to the League Championship round... this has rarely happened in IPA circles... only four times has this transpired.

In 2001, Ginza did it in the first round of play... in 2009 Pro Cup champion Turon amazingly triumphed in the Pro Cup Finals... in 2015 Bay St. Clair turned it around in the opening round... and most recently in the 2035 Tycobbian Elite 8 Series, Tuckanarra rallied from a 3-0 deficit to move to the next round.

In Sunday's action, Marston mopped up on Sligo 6-2... Valmara lambasted Crystal Lake 12-7... and Denton City got new life with a 3-2 win in 10 innings over High Mesa... in the other series Oxford has its hands full with the Ginza Ninjas... they have split four games this far... the Ninjas nudged out the Red Caps 4-3 to tie it up at two games apiece.

SLIGO, HIGH MESA ADVANCE TO LEAGUE FINALS
High Mesa its first-round series as expected and Sligo unexpectedly won its first-round series... they both captured a spot in their league finals with victories in 5 games... the Mustangs edged Denton City 3-2 to eliminate the Redbirds from the playoffs, while the Sligo Rovers stunned mighty Marston 3-2 to wrapup that series... the Nine were rated the favorite to take the Pro Cup trophy this year by the baseball experts... the Rovers were picked number 7 out of the 8 teams.

VIPERS AND RED CAPS UP BY A GAME 3-2
In other action, last year's Pro Cup champion Crystal Lake nipped Valmara 6-5 to keep their hopes for back-to-back Pro Cup trophies... but they still trail the Vipers three games to two with both of the remaining games on Valmara's home diamond... in the only other postseason game Oxford made quick work of the Ginza Ninjas 7-0 to go one-up in that series, three games to two.

SKIPS, NINJAS FORCE 7TH GAME
It a baseball fan's delight... the 7th game of a playoff series... and you get two of them on the same day... reigning Pro Cup winner Crystal Lake is trying real hard to repeat again as IPA champion... yesterday they fought off elimination again with another 4-3 squeaker over the Valmare Vipers in the Ruthlandian Union first round... and the upstart Ginza Ninjas did the same thing in the Tycobbian Union... the Karate Kids blitzed the highly-rated Oxford Red Caps 7-0 to tie their best-of-seven series at three games each... both seventh-game finales will be played this afternoon.

oh no game 7... im biting my nails. come on boys lets bring it home to Ginza!

The Karate Kids will have to beat a 20-game winner... Oxford's Wiley Beckford was 20-8 with a 3.59 ERA.

Ginza will give the starting assignment to young Sparky Dane, who posted an 8-4 mark with an impressive 2.88 ERA... he had rough going in the first half of the season, but got rolling in the second half, when he got back into the regular rotation in August.

Neither were effective in game three of the series, won by the Red Caps 7-5... neither of them got the decision... Beckford allowed 5 runs in his 6 innings... and Dane was tagged for 5 runs in 6 innings... the game was deadlocked 5-5 when they exited... Oxford won in 12 innings.

I'll take the easy way out... it's a toss-up... either one of them can win.

VALMARA AND GINZA ADVANCE TO LEAGUE FINALS
In seventh-game showdowns, the Valmara Vipers crushed and sunk the repeat hopes of the Crystal Lake Skippers for back-to-back Pro Cup trophies... and the darlings of the IPA playoffs, the Ginza Ninjas, surprised powerhouse Oxford and sent them packing from the postseason.

The potent Vipers, now the highest-rated club left in the Pro Cup playoffs, got a stunning comeback 9-6 victory over the Skippers to advance to the Ruthlandian Union title series against the seventh-ranked Sligo Rovers, who upset top-ranked Marston in first round action... Valmara was the second choice to win the Pro Cup trophy this year... and it will be the number eight choice, the unheralded Ginza Ninjas, better known these days as the Karate Kids, taking on the number-three rated team, the strong High Mesa Mustangs in the Tycobbian Union title series... the Ninjas whipped the Red Caps 4-1 to cop the series four games to three... they came back from a 3-2 deficit by capturing the last two games of the series.

LEAGUE TITLES AT STAKE
Four IPA teams are one step closer to the their ultimate dream season... a season when they capture the highly-sought after Pro Cup trophy... the Valmara Vipers and Sligo Rovers are in the Ruthlandian Union title series, while the High Mesa Mustangs and Ginza Ninjas made the Tycobbian Union finals... if you go by what the baseball media is saying, Valmara, the number-two team in the Pro Cup poll, will take its series against the Rovers, the seventh pick in the voting... and number three High Mesa would be the choice over the Ninjas, the number-eight rated club... but if you go by statistics, they tell another story... at least in the Ruthlandian Union... Sligo has much better pitching than Valmara and looks to be the better of the two squads.

Sligo and High Mesa had the easier series in round one... the Rovers upset the number-one ranked Marston Nine, knocking them off four games to one... the Sligo staff proved to be the prime factor in the win over Marston... and High Mesa rolled over Denton City in five games, displaying all-around good play... strong pitching, solid bats and almost flawless defense... the Mustangs are playing like the best team in the Islandian Pro Alliance right now.

Valmara and Ginza had to go seven games to claim a spot in the league championships... the Vipers put away last year's Pro Cup winner Crystal Lake in a thriller and the Ninjas upended powerful Oxford in an upset... offense was the key in both of their victories.

Ruthlandian Union League Championship Series Outlook:
Against the mighty bats of Marston, Sligo got fabulous pitching from its starters Mickey Walsh (17-8/1.96), Jacky Harshman (16-8/1.96), Mitch Taylor (14-6/2.44) and Farrell Wedgeworth (8-6/3.05)... but closer Tiger Snodgrass was blistered for 12 runs in 9 innings... he will have to regain his regular season form against Valmara.

The Vipers have a high-class bunch of hitters and can really put runs on the scoreboard with the likes of Timmy Benford (.319/34 HR), Jud Gilbride (.240/28 HR), Semyon Tomczak (.297/22 HR) and Doc Pollins (.258/25 HR)... but its hurlers had a tough time with Crystal Lake... but, you know, everybody has trouble with the Skippers' attack... maybe Tony Joe Carnes (11-5/3.43), Lukasz Chojnacki (10-6/3.03) and Smoke Dillane (13-5/3.22) and Jiro Valastro (14-6/3.70) have enough in the tank to tame the lesser bats of the Rovers.

This should be another seven-game donnybrook... when the smoke clears... it will be Valmara heading to the Pro Cup Finals... the Vipers just have too much firepower.

Tycobbian Union League Championship Series Outlook:
People seem to be overlooking the Ginza Ninjas... the Karate Kids won 96 games in the regular season, second-best to Oxford's 97... and they shot down the Red Caps... but that didn't impress the scribes and broadcasters... now they are taking on highly-touted High Mesa, who really shined in eliminating Denton City in the first round... starters Weldon Herrington (15-10/2.55), Tuffy Hammel (11-4/3.15) and David Newell (1407/3.24) really sparkled on the hill against the Redbirds... so did superb closer Sandy Stevenson (6-5/2.32 ERA/31 saves/82 G)... and just look at this lineup: Kagetoki Miyazaki (.299/50 HR), Billy Putnam (.249/34 HR), Tracy McGriff (.242/23 HR) and Curly Yeats (.293/21 HR).

Ginza will counter all that with a really impressive starting foursome: Kurt Brophy (17-7/3.28), Yoshiro Makihara (17-11/2.56), Sparky Dane (8-4/2.88) and Franco Funicello (19-6/3.18)... add in an excellent closer in Abram Worth (7-5/2.29 ERA/35 saves/61 G) and you have the makings of a talented pitching corps... however, the Ninjas can't match the High Mesa arsenal with the likes of Gerry Glidden (.271/19 HR), Kentaro Koga (.218/18 HR), Hideki Nakano (.257/17 HR), Gideon Tracy (.302/17 HR) and Kuzuki Tamura (.262/11 HR)... the Mustangs will prevail in six or seven... unless Mr. Miyagi works his marvelous and mystical magic again.

VALMARA "LOOKS" LIKE PRO CUP WINNER
With sabermetrics you can measure just about anything to do with the game of baseball... except the heart and the desire... on paper the Valmara Vipers, the Ruthlandian Union champion, "look" to be the superior team in the Islandian Pro Alliance Pro Cup Series... but the numbers don't always tell the whole story... their opponent, the Ginza Ninjas, the champion of the Tycobbian Union, play some pretty good baseball, too... the Ginza fans are hoping that the statistics will not determine the outcome of this year's overall Islandian baseball championship.

IPA PRO CUP TALE OF THE TAPE

Valmara Vipers
Season Record: 96-58
Home Record: 51-26
Away Record: 43-34
IPA Pro Cup Playoff Record: 8-4

Ginza Ninjas

Home Record: 54-23
Away Record: 43-35
IPA Pro Cup Playoff Record: 8-4

Yours truly, EC, has mixed emotions about this year's Pro Cup.

Valmara is one of my favorite teams in the IPA... I was a Russian Language Specialist in the USAF many, many, many eons ago... so I like Slavic names, the Russian language and like the Russian people, too... the people are not the government... my teachers at the Army Language School, most of them native Russians, were really nice people and filled with a joy for life... this surprised me at that time... Hollywood gave you a much different view of Russians back in those bleak, cold war days... sad, morose, melancholy.

My wife and I took the trip of a lifetime about a year ago... a 13-day riverboat tour of Russia... started in Moscow and ended up in St. Petersburg... an absolutely wonderful trip... on Viking Tours... highly recommend Viking... I am very hard-to-please... and they really, really pleased me.

The Russians were really nice people... on the ship... and in the towns and cities... I was pleased that they could understand my Russian after all those years... and yes, I did a lot of study and relearning it before I went... had to brush up on the grammar and get down the basic vocabulary again... they complimented my Russian... said I spoke very clearly... and my accent was OK.

So I have always kind of pulled for the Vipers each year... they won their fourth Pro Cup in 2050 and I have wanted them to get a fifth one and take the lead in Pro Cup trophies... some of my most favored players in the 59 years I've been covering the Islandian Pro Alliance have played for Valmara… manager/outfielder HOF Jet Kazmarek, .354 career average, best in IPA history... only .400 hitter ever... .424 in 2002... HOF shortstop Ken Jensen (.300 BA), the Szymanski family: outfielder Jan Szymanski (.253 BA/98 HR/385 RBI)… he only played 4 years with the team... his son, outfielder Teddy Szymanski (.301 BA/188 HR), and grandson, current second baseman Vladimir Szymanski (.298 BA, catcher Karol Koska (.253 BA/235 HR)… and pitchers HOF Vanya Vasylenko (304-261/3.45 ERA) (also successful manager), Primo Sirak (272-147/2.80 ERA), Darus Grajek (197-122/2.76 ERA) and Teddy Twardzik (195-155/3.11 ERA).

Now the Ginza Ninjas leap into the picture... they have been run-of-the-mill also-rans for decades... and this year they captured my heart... though I thought they would fade in the second half of the season... the Karate Kids won their first pennant since 1931.

Then nobody thought they would beat Oxford in round one... and not too many thought they would whip High Mesa in the TU title series... but, lo and behold, they did it!

And we're now in the Pro Cup Series and the Karate Kids are there!... playing for the whole shebang... the Holy Grail of the Islands... the IPA Pro Cup trophy.

Through the years I've been a fan of the Ginza's 34-year-old shortstop Kuzuki Tamura... he is a 4-time All-Star and Gold Glover... and sadly never got into the playoffs.

So this year, I will pull for Tamura, Gideon Tracy, Kurt Brophy, Sparky Dane and Abram Worth... but I think the Valmara Vipers will win in 6 games... they just hit the ball too well.

Come on, Mr. Miyagi… work your magic just one more series.

1. “It’s ok to lose to opponent. It’s never okay to lose to fear" - Mr. Miyagi

VIPERS IN 6 IN PRO CUP SERIES
The 2059 IPA Pro Cup Series has all the makings of a dandy... powerful Valmara is seeking its record-setting fifth Pro Cup trophy... and opposed by the newest darlings of the Islandian baseball world, the mesmerizing Ginza Ninjas... it will be the big bats of the Vipers against the strong arms of the Karate Kids.

Valmara has the superior offense, while Ginza has better starters, a better bullpen and the better defense... the Vipers have five .300 hitters in the lineup, sparked by first baseman Timmy Benford (.319/34 HR/107 RBI/87 R), center fielder Jud Gilbride (.240/28 HR/91 RBI/95 R), left fielder Doc Pollins (.258/25 HR/72 RBI/61 R), third baseman Alek Stolarski (.307/4 HR/54 RBI/89 R), right fielder Semyon Tomczak (.297/22 HR/65 RBI/65 R), left fielder Harv Shepard (.304/13 HR/58 RBI/72 R), shortstop Matty Tomek (.301/4 HR/48 RBI/70 R) and second baseman Vladimir Szymanski (.306/9 HR/23 RBI/29 R)... Valmara topped the Ruthlandian Union with 192 homers and runs scored with 823... they ranked fifth in batting average with a .273 mark.

Heading up the pitching corps are Tony Joe Carnes (11-5/3.43), Lukasz Chojnacki (10-6/3.03) and Smoke Dillane (13-5/3.22)... however, some of the starters have struggled in the playoffs... and the bullpen has not done well, either... closer Kris Fourcade and the relief staff will have to be solid and reliable in the Pro Cup Series for Valmara to win... without them, the offense may not be enough to defeat a well-rounded and well-balanced club like Ginza... Carnes and Chojnacki give manager Don Ritchie two capable starters, but the number three and four starters, Smoke Dillane (13-5/3.22) and Jiro Valastro (14-6/3.70), have to do better in the Pro Cup Finals... they both have struggled mightily in the playoffs... look for Manabu Ozaki (5-4/2.70) to play a bigger role in the series... Ozaki has done really well in the bullpen in the postseason and may be inserted into the starting rotation.

Ginza has a solid core in its starting rotation... Kurt Brophy (17-7/3.28) and Sparky Dane (8-4/2.88) have been the most reliable for manager Sogo Takagi... Brophy has been outstanding with a 3-0 record and a 1.69 ERA in four postseason starts... starter-wise, one to four, the Ninjas are better than the Vipers... plus Takagi has one of the best closers in the IPA in Abram Worth (7-5/2.29 ERA/35 saves/61 G)... Worth has really done well in the playoffs, too.

However, Ginza will have to put some runs on the scoreboard to have a chance against Valmara... on paper, the Ninjas come up short, but in the playoffs, the Karate Kids have done the job with right fielder Gideon Tracy (.302/17 HR/103 RBI/74 R), second baseman Kuzuki Tamura (.262/11 HR/66 RBI/74 R), catcher Gary Glidden (.271/19 HR/64 RBI/43 R) and shortstop Hideki Nakano (.257/17 HR/69 RBI/63 R) coming up with clutch hits throughout the playoffs.

For Ginza to pull an upset, the pitching has to handle the big bats of the the Vipers... and the Ninjas have to hit a few out of the park.

The key for Valmara is to bang the heck out of the ball like the regular season and the playoffs, but they must get some decent pitching, too... especially in the late innings from the bullpenners.

2059 IPA Pro Cup Series Outlook:
Valmara in six games... they just put too many runs on the scoreboard... enough to overcome their pitching woes... but Ginza still has a chance... on the chance their twirlers can hold down the Vipers at the plate... and off the scoreboard.

AROUND THE TOWN IN THE IPA

Ginza Ninjas

Owner: OmniSea, Ltd.

GM: Crash Davis
Manager: Sogo Takagi

Ginza began as a little fishing village in southeastern Tycobbia, settled by seafaring Japanese immigrants, who came in the 1860s during the Meiji Dynasty, a period of westernization. Today Ginza is a prosperous town of 88,000 with about one-third of its citizens being Japanese. Both Japanese and English are spoken here.

The name Ginza comes from “silver mint”, which Japanese authorities built in 1612. The modern day Ginza is a fabulous shopping area in Tokyo. The Tycobbian Ginza emulates it namesake, but on a much smaller scale. It is a free trade port and has many importers and exporters at the International Bazaar. Great bargains are in abundance in Ginza. The town also has a thriving fishing fleet and seafood processing industry.

Baseball got a late start in Ginza. The town inhabitants began playing amateur baseball in the 1930s, but soon began to challenge other towns in the sport. OmniSea Marine Processors, the largest employer in town, began sponsoring leagues and invested heavily in the game's development. OmniSea eventually expanded to industrial leagues and now to the Islandian Pro Alliance. They own the Ginza Ninjas of the Tycobbian Union South Division.

Ginza plays at Ninja Stadium, a ballpark built in 1998. A game at Ninja Stadium is really special. Most of the fans are quite reserve and quiet, typical Japanese social demeanor. However, in the left field bleachers it is another world...a wild and noisy place. There, the Ninjas have an official cheering section called “oendan” (pronounced “oh-en-dan”), that plays songs, beats drums and gongs, blows trumpets and waves flags. They stand up the entire time, when the Ninjas are at bat and sit down, when the opposition is batting. Fans clap plastic megaphones along with the oendan and sing chants to each Ginza player. Many fans carry umbrellas to the ballgame. Whenever the Ninjas score a run, they also open up all of the umbrellas, their way of telling the opposing pitcher, he is headed for the showers.

In the Lucky Seventh, the traditional seventh-inning stretch, they sing the Ninja fight song and then release hundreds of rocket balloons (jetto fusen). Other unique things about Ninja baseball is the public address announcer is female, the only one in the Islands. You will also see the pitcher bow in reverence to fielders, who make good plays.

At the Ninja Stadium concessions you will find not only traditional baseball fare, but Japanese as well. Ginza fans can enjoy yakisoba (fried noodles), yaketori (BBQ chicken on skewers), takoyaki (fried octopus dumplings) and bento (cold lunch in a wooden box). For the sweet tooth, kakigori (snowballs with flavored syrup and condensed milk), green tea ice cream, sweet potato ice cream, anmitsu (cold fruit dessert) and anpan (sweet bun).

The GM of the Ginza Ninjas is all-time great catcher Crash Davis... inducted into the IPA Hall of Fame in 2038 after a standout 21-year career... the team enjoyed its best years during his tenure. Davis was a 15-time All-Star and Gold Glover. He batted .308 with 403 roundtrippers and 1556 RBIs. Later Davis skippered the Ninjas to only so-so success. The current manager is another of their superstar players, Sogo Takagi, who took over the club in 2058. Takagi made the IPA Hall of Fame in '57. He put up a .298 career batting average with 538 roundtrippers, 1768 RBIs, 1915 runs and stole 225 bases. 10 times Takagi was an All-Star and a 3-time Golden Glover. He played his entire career with the Ninjas from 2034 to 2054.
