Twits Notes:  (11/26)  Jeff took over sole possession of 2nd place earlier tonight, winning 3 of 4 over Jed via the Internet.  After splitting the first two games, A51's Mark Texeira's walkoff HR in game 3 was a prelude to A51's 4 runs in the bottom of the 9th to win game 4 as well.  M. Young had the game-wiunning rbi off of a tired Soria.  Only two teams are over .500.  Happy Thanksgiving from the SOMBILLA turkey himself!

(11/25)  Eric jumped back into a tie for 4th Wednesday night beating Robin 3 of 4.  In Dem Bums's series against Bay City, Lincecum finally decided to pitch like he earned his Cy Young in real life, going the distance in a 3-hitter, surrendering just a lonely solo shot. And Manny finally decided to return to his home planet, hitting his first two homers of the year, and driving in seven...Please send your stats to Tom.

(11/19) North Dakota has changed its team name to "The Flaming Earthworms"

(11/15)  Eric, who won 3 of 4 games from Jeff did not submit any Twits Notes, perhaps because he is still stuck in traffic trying to get home from Harold's.  Therefore, we will use Jed's writeup:

"Fugakyu won the first two games by 1-0 (James Shields threw 6 shutout innings) and 2-1 scores and it looked like the cavernous Pufferfish Pond was overwhelming the Future Wax sluggers.  But the Wax Whackers found their stroke in game 3, shellacking Ricky Nolasco 17-4.  Nolasco did throw a complete game, with a pitch count of 317.  Future Wax jumped to a quick 2-0 lead in the first inning of game 4.  The game remained briefly close and Fugakyu did make an effort by actually using relief pitchers.  But Future Wax tired out 4 Fugakyu pitchers in a row, eventually winning 13-3.  For the series, Future Wax batted .329 as a team, with 8 homeruns, 4 of which were hit by Lance Berkman."

(11/8) Future Wax, picked to finish out of the playoffs in the preseason poll for the first time ever, opened its season by sweeping Erc at home, outscoring Dem Bums 20 to 11 and outhomering them 10 to 4.  It was sweet revenge for Randy, who was swept by Eric on opening night last year.  McCann led the attack with 3 home runs, while Reyes hit 3 triples to go with his HR.  Nathan had 2 saves as well.
