I came home to this news and it made my day complete.
The only downer from this trip is that it SHOULD have been 7-0. But there's no time for negativity when you start the 2nd half 6-1 after 7 road games in 2 of the toughest places to win in the league.
See you all tomorrow - it's been a while!

You're S%@!#!ing me
Donny Langdon had no business pitching that 7th inning. I said so before it started (see the game log). That was fucking stupid. I'll try to muster up an actual recap later.
I know it's just one game and they can't win them all and they were due for a loss, but pissing a way a 2 run lead in the last inning against these dickwads makes me very, very upset. $@!@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
6 runs in 2 innings. The bullpen = officially a problem.

The bases are loaded with nobody out for Mike Galloway.

On to game 2...
Well what do you know, kids - the Spirit have won 6 in a row. And they didn't just win game 1 in Quebec, they won it in breathtakingly awesome fashion by a final score of 7-2.
Ryan Bicondoa was spectacular. He gave up 2 runs on 3 hits in a complete game effort. He retired the side in order in every inning from the 2nd thru the 6th and retired 19 in a row overall during his dominant stretch.
The Spirit set the tone in the 1st, putting up 3 runs including a solo homer by Alex Trezza. North Shore tacked on 3 more in the 2nd. During the 2nd, Josue Lopez hit his 3rd home run of the season.
Josue Lopez and Vic Davilla each had two runs batted in on the day.
Joey Siak takes the hill against Quebec's Shawn Ryan in game 2, which will start at about 7:35.

All you need to know about today's loss
"The scoreboard read goose eggs until the sixth inning when Capitales CF Goef Tomlinson reached on an error by first baseman Josue Lopez. Tomlinson moved to second on a ground out and came around to score on a single by Galloway making the score 1-0."

Spirit lose game, win fight
Since Miles Wolff is in charge of suspensions for the CanAm League, we can rest assured that Eddie Lantigua and the rest of his asshole band of Capitales will get off with no punishment for their continuous bush league actions while Dennis Robinson and other Spirit players will be banned for life for finally doing something about it. Having a conflict of interest in the owner's box which allows the Capitales to effectively use their 'cheat to win' mentality creates the climate for brawls such as the one we saw tonight.
On the heels of yesterday's LaPlante bullshit as documented in the previous post, Quebec's cheater brigade came out swinging (literally) in the first inning. Boomer Barry pulled an A-Rod slap play at 2nd base in the first inning, dislodging the ball from NS's new shortstop Bob Tewksbury. Davilla successfully appealed the play to the home plate umpire who called Barry out, prompting a long string of frenchie bullshit from Laplante.
Clearly the Spirit were not going to put up with this bullshit and Blakely showed this by sliding in hard at Barry on a play at 2nd base. The Caps continued their usual whining throughout the game and got a few favorable fair/foul calls. Additionally, a few Capitales were accidentally plunked by Bicondoa. Then, Robinson came in in the 9th.
D-Rob clearly intentionally threw at Lantigua, there's no doubt about that. Then Lantigua charged at him like a steamroller. I sat there thinking "oh shit, force=mass x acceleration" and was sure that Robinson would die, but he did a Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon move and kicked Lantigua in the chest, setting off a wild brawl which saw BJ Weed roll through the grass with another one of Les Caps.
I guess Lantigua was justified to charge the mound, but what happened after was inexcusible. After the fight died down and people were heading back to their dugouts, Lantigua charged at one of the Spirit pitchers (I think Bicondoa, but maybe Robinson again?) from behind and shoved him setting off another wave in the brawl. For that action Lantigua should be suspended for at least ten games, but you know it won't happen.
I'll tell you what will happen, Robinson will probably get like 10 games and Davilla will get 3 or 4 and Lantigua will get a slap on the wrist and maybe a 2-game suspension despite the fact that he set off the ugliest brawl I've ever seen in the CanAm League and then escalated it.
Also, Boomer Berry, who started all of tonight's trouble, will get off without punishment for his bitch move in the first inning. Michel Laplante, who creates tension just by his presence and continuous bitching, will also receive no punishment, I'm sure.
It's all part of another episode of "Planet Miles."
IMPEACH MILES WOLFF NOW!!!! And kick Lantigua out of the league as rapidly as Robinson kicked that whopper-eating bitch in the chest. F@!$ QUEBEC!!!!!!
Of course, lost in all the drama tonight is the fact that the Spirit looked like total crap, losing 5-0. Josue Lopez is probably the most useless position player in Spirit history. He got his first hit on a routine ground ball into the shift that the 'shortfielder' booted. (It should have been an error) His horrific first base defense makes me long for the days of Travis Oglesby and allowed the 5th Caps run to score when he played matador-style defense on a hit down the line.
Bob Tewksbury, who the Spirit just added, was never particularly impressive with Worcester, so I'm not sure why he'll be any good here. I prefer Gilbert Gil, to be honest. I also prefer Gil to Roche, who had another wonderful night at the plate (not). The only silver lining is that we had no errors tonight, although that doesn't mean much w/ CanAm scorekeeping, as I counted 2 Spirit errors tonight on my personal sheet.
I'm fired up about a lot of things tonight, but I'll wrap it up by simply stating a few facts that we know right now:
1. Quebec is f**king bush league
2. Lantigua likes to indulge in triple-whopper sandwiches with SlimSlow before the game
3. Josue Lopez is horrible
4. The Spirit lineup as a whole is painfully mediocre and inconsistent
5. We are a very average team and major changes will have to be made to break out of this win one, lose one funk
6. When the Spirit don't get a dominant pitching performance, they have almost no chance of winning
7. The Spirit at least have some balls and are showing signs of life and togetherness, which will hopefully help the team and inspire them going forward... sometimes it takes something like this to wake up a stagnant team. I definitely liked that the Spirit didn't let Quebec get away with their bullcrap and I loved how they stood up for one another in the brawl. No one wussied out of it.
The silver lining w/ #6 is that we often do get gem pitching performances because we have a great starting staff. But the lineup is anemic, the defense is generally poor, and the team as a whole is very inconsistent.
The rubber game tomorrow is crucial - I believe Farley is pitching and he's been our ace so far. It's really important to win this series against Quebec both to show some life and just to beat those @-hole bastards from up north.
Look out for fireworks tomorrow.

Suck it, Quebec
Matt Bishop pitched 8 2/3 shutout innings and Donny Langdon came in to bail him out of a bases loaded jam in the 9th as the Spirit beat the bush league Quebec Crapitales 5-0 in the first of three at Fraser.
Tonight reminded me why I hate Quebec as much as I do. Seriously, F$@!# those a-holes. In the 4th inning, with the Spirit up 3-0, the rain pouring down, and the 4 1/2 inning 'official game' cutoff approaching, Laplante and the Caps did everything they could to hold the game up. Laplante argued for about 5 minutes on a very clear cut call, they called for the grounds crew to bring out new dirt for the mound, and called to have them rake up the batters box area, all to stall and get the game to rain out before it got to the official halfway mark. It was major BS. I hate Laplante.
Eddie Lantigua is so annoying, so it was good to see him go 0-4... chump.
Quebec uses the kind of bush-league, cheat-to-win tactics that are more at home in European soccer than baseball. It's such a joke that a team can be owned by the commissioner. That pisses me off every single time.
This performance by the Spirit is somewhat infuriating, to be honest--- they keep showing flashes of being a great team, but they continue to lag at or around .500. Taking a series against these a-holes would be a good way to start a permanant turnaround.

Rox, Caps stay unbeaten
Tonight was an off night for the Spirit. Meanwhile, Brockton and Quebec improved to 4-0 with wins tonight as the Rox beat Atlantic City 6-3 at Campanelli Stadium and Les Caps scored a 6-4 win against the Jackals in Little Falls, NJ.
Worcester remained winless after a wild and dramatic 14-12 loss to New Haven County. The Cutters outscored Worcester 11-5 in the first three innings and held on despite Worcester chipping away the rest of the game, which wound up being a 3 hour, 40 minute affair at Hanover Insurance Park in Worcester.
After tonight's results, Brockton and Quebec have broken clear at the top of the standings. They lead the Spirit - who vaulted into 3rd over New Jersey and Atlantic City by virtue of their losses - by one game.
And it may be early, but suddenly, the 2005 champion Worcester Tornadoes find themselves 4 games out. With the CanAm League's half-season structure, it's never too early to feel a sense of urgency.
In addition to these three matchups, Sussex opens up a series at Nashua tomorrow night. The Spirit and the Grays start their series on Wednesday night at Fraser Field.
