Bomber Press Releases

The three-time final-round contenders went into last week's negotiations with a single mission: find replacements for three core power hitters to stay competitive. When injury, production redeployment and mid-life crisis sidelined five-year Bomber veterans 1B Krish, SS Schroeder, and rookie SS Kevin Scott, Bomber management aggressively campaigned to find and sign high-profile free agents.

They could have never imagined the unrivaled quality of the 2003 Bomber draft, not even in their wildest dreams. Reverberations from the impact of the trades on league parity continue to be felt today.

"We're pinching ourselves, really," said team captain, Vince De Quattro. "This is unprecedented. Everyone we picked up could easily be the core of their own team." The Bombers picked up left handed-hitters Rob De Haan (LHP/1B Captain 2002 Swinging All Stars), R. Jay Williams (CF 2001 Maulers), and right handed hitters Randy Severson (RF rookie), Dennis Von Galle (LF 2002 Darth Sox), and Scott Barrett (SS 2002 Darth Sox). "Each of these guys brings more than just a bat to our game. They are perennial Gold Glove candidates in their own right, " De Quattro said.

The combination of the newest big guns to the Bomber arsenal will be devastating to opposing batteries. Finding a place for them in an already formidable Bomber order will be a challenge.

"I mean, what do you do when you've got five number four hitters?" laughed co-captain, Krish, who intends to finish ACL rehabilitation and re-join the team by late summer. "We've got eight batters from the leadoff position down that can hit over .550 and drive in at least 20 RBIs a year. Frightening."

Not to be outdone, the women have been busy recruiting power of their own. Newcomers, Marci Velando, Cathy Myrick, Barcley Kauer, and Jennifer McKnew plan to supplement Bomber veterans Lori Petrini (1B, 2001 Rookie of the Year) and sophomore C Katie Lynch. "It was tough losing four-year veteran Neha Wickramasekaran and rookie Ann Dial Mac Millan last year. We needed to make some solid acquisitions to balance the guys," said Petrini. "I guarantee that we won't let them provide all the thunder this season."

Reporters gathered around the podium after the draft session while De Quattro outlined concerns about meeting the salary cap.

"We got the job done," De Quattro commented. "We found the best athletes available and made them the best offers we could. We'll be restructuring some of our current roster's compensation to get under the cap. We've already taken steps to address the issue." Insiders point to possibly paring down the large contract given to Krish and Diaz after securing their Co-MVP Awards in 2000. 2B Jason Patnode, the center of trade speculations in recent weeks, has been struggling to return to his 1999 form. He and teammate Neil Lim Sang might be among the first to fall to the salary cap axe.

"Hey, no one's going anywhere. This team has been together for six years, through thick and thin," De Quattro said, as he spoke with a few reporters from his idling Mercedes. "Hey, the bottom line is, a lot of us would play for nothing if we had to."

The Bombers will begin spring training in two weeks.

SPRING TRAINING

Not all of you will agree with me that the best moments in life happen within the baselines. Some of you might consider that your
wedding day, the birth a child, getting through your first marin escrow or being elected President of the United States would be among the best moments of your lifetime. Maybe you'd consider your best moment as a breathless tryst with a lover, stepping out of a plane at 8,000 feet with a only parachute, or perhaps running with the bulls in some dusty Spanish backwater.

But you'd be wrong.

It's all about the 10 oz. ball, baby. It's your 100th RBI, a run down put out in the bottom of the seventh inning to preserve a one-run victory, or your game-winning line drive on Tournament Day vs. the Maulers (or whatever they happen to call themselves that year). The best moment in your lifetime will happen sometime this year, sometime between the chalk lines that will define your Bomber world for the next six months.

You'll see.

For those of you who have fought the good fight for these six years, welcome back. You're the core, the die-hards, the keepers of the Bomber juju. It's time to put away the hockey pucks, the leather Wilson Pro football, the shuttlecocks, the toy trivia of sport. It's time to find your favorite tin of Glove-olium, sweetly-scented with distinct pine resins, and place it indoors where it can return to a perfect 78 degrees Fahrenheit.

Your mind shifts today, you see with an uncanny clarity, objects that, though small, blurred and oft obscured, become larger than life as they hurtle toward you at 50+ mph. The running catch, the diving stop, the extra-base hit, cleats digging in hard clay, these are the gems of the game, they beckon you with an unerring desire that is softball.

Give yourself to the game, my friend. You love it, and it loves you.

For those of you who are new to the team, welcome back. You've been a part of Bomber softball for all these years, but just hadn't
realized it yet. The glory, the joy, the semi-haze of a late inning beer buzz, and the smell of unwashed socks -- it waited for you, all these years, and you showed up one day, and you smiled.

Because the 2003 season is here. And you're about to exact some serious havoc on the rest of the league. Welcome.

It's early yet. There's still dew on the outfield grass, deer grazing among the buffalo grass and philaster near the fences. The bases are still stacked inside the field house, dry and gleaming in the deep shadows. The chalkboard is clean, newly lined, and waiting for the scores of this new season. The magic bat, quiet for these many months, glows with the anticipation of its first violent battle in the box, a collision with its first lofted pitch, tracing its first fiery arc through the valley air, leaving the park, finding freedom in the horse corral and vineyard. The glad voices of your teammates are risen in unison, rallying you around the diamond, surrounding you at the plate.

Fire up, my friends. This is Bomber softball, and, I promise you, another year of what will prove to be the best moments of your
collective lives.

BOMBERS PICKED TO GARNER TOP SEED

Staff Writer

If there ever was a dream team in company softball, the 2003 Bombers might certainly be included on the short list of candidates. At least, if the pre-season hype is true, this may well be a team destined for the record books. The roster speaks for itself, as a last minute flurry of acquisitions bolstered both the offensive and defensive power of this year's squad.

Here's a breakdown of this year's team:

ROOKIE SHOWCASE

IF Robert De Haan (Hong Kong Cavaliers (1999), Swingers (2000), All Stars (2001-2002), Tournament Champions, 2001)

Robert has baffled LFL batters for years, his reign on the mound culminating in a Championship Ring in 2001 while pitching for the Allstars. A solid left-handed hitter, De Haan hit .645 last year, with 23 runs batted in. With the Freight Train on the disabled list for the first several months of the season, Robert will platoon at first base with third year vet, Lori Petrini. Depending on game situation, De Haan may yet play a surprise role as the Bomber's third pitcher, behind right-handed starter, Duncan Sutherland, and backup left-hander, Vince De Quattro.

OF Dennis Von Galle (Darth Sox (2000-2002) League Champions, 2001)

Feared by third basemen around the league for the rockets he fires down the left field line, Dennis hit .700 in his clean-up role last year for the Sox. Collecting a team-record fourteen extra-bases hits, Von Galle drove in 25 runs and scored 32, posting high marks for doubles (9) and triples (5) during the regular season. A fierce competitor, Von Galle brings speed and agility to a veteran Bomber outfield. More importantly, he brings a keen sense of style. "We're hoping he dyes his hair red before the season starts. I'd personally give him ten bucks if he does it," offered five-year vet, Neil Lim Sang, speaking under terms of anonymity.

IF Scott Barrett (Darth Sox (2001-2002) League Champions, 2001)

Power hitter Scott Barrett will anchor the top of the order this year, providing a deep-ball threat that should keep opposing outfielders chained to the fences when he steps up to the plate. His bat is legendary: last year alone, Barrett accounted for more than a third of his team's total run output, while he drove three dingers over the barn in left-center. A sure-handed shortstop, Scott will lend experience to the number six position, allowing the Bombers more double-play opportunities than in years past.

OF R. Jay Williams (Darth Sox (1999-2000), Maulers, (2001))

After a year's hiatus, ex-Mauler standout, Williams comes back to the game to put the big hurt on opposing batteries. His last season in the league, 2001, was a break-out year for the big man, hitting a team-leading .650 from the right side, including 33 runs batted in on a team-record 1.500 slugging percentage. Numbers don't convey the raw fear experienced by a league of unfortunate infielders faced with dealing with the result of his mighty swing. His left arm is more like a cannon than flesh and bone, able to throw out runners attempting to score from anywhere in deep center. Of course, he's a daddy now, and can be tender in a moment's notice.

IF Kelly Buchanan (Trailer Trash, 2002)

The only sure thing in the Trailer Trash's tumultuous first season, Buchannan's solid play at first base turned heads during the first round of the 2002 LFL Tournament. Brainwashed by a steady stream of 60 fps video signals broadcast from a step-van parked outside her home, Kelly became the newest Bomber in January of this year. She joins veterans Lori Petrini and Katie Lynch as well as co-rookie Marci Velando, in what may well prove to be the best women's corps in the game.

OF Randy Severson

One of Cummings' partners in crime, we can't wait to see what this prospect can do. With no history in the LFL, league scouts relied heavily on insider gossip and hear say, as well as some blurry, black-and-white video surveillance shot in the eighties.

IF Marci Velando

Highly recruited and highly mysterious, we've yet to actually meet this one-woman wrecking crew. Some league insiders wonder if she is simply a doppelganger, the result of some serious wishful thinking by recruiter, Marc Diaz. The jury is out until the season begins.

CORE VETERANS

IF Marc Diaz (Bombers (1998-2002) Tournament Champions (1998), Tournament Runner-Up (2000, 2002))

With Diaz, Wong and Von Galle at the top of the line-up, the Bombers look to score quickly and often this season. Diaz still holds the LFL record in the 100 meter dash (while possessing a blood alcohol level of .03) at 19 seconds flat. Diaz led the team in batting average last season, and continues to hold personal and team records in nine major categories, along with his trophy for a 2000 MVP season. Offer to buy him a beer after the game, (he most likely brought the one you sipped in the third inning.)

IF Grady Cummings (Bombers (2001-2002) Tournament Runner-Up (2000, 2002))

The 2001 Bomber MVP, Grady came a vote shy of being presented with the 2002 Eric Schroeder Bomber Award. A perennial
powerhouse at the plate, driving in 28 runs on 27 hits, (including four home runs), Grady will cover the hot corner this year, adding solid defense to an already impressive infield rotation. An endless prankster, Cummings could quite possibly repeat his performance of the Star Spangled Banner from the top of the Lucasfield Backstop at some point .

IF Duncan Sutherland (Bombers (1998-2002) Tournament Champions (1998), Tournament Runner-Up (2000, 2002))

One of the most dominating pitchers in the league, Sutherland's 10.21 TRA is a modern record that might forever stand in the annals of the LFL. His winning mark of 53-17 (.757) is a testament to his durability and strength. Last year, during Tournament Day, Sutherland pitched twenty-seven straight innings, allowing only 28 runs and earning a 39-0 shutout in the first playoff game versus the Trash. Ever the favorite of the media, Sutherland's 1998 .722 OBA is still legend among LFL circles, and his offensive output is still among the tops of the team.

IF Todd Krish (Bombers (1998-2002) Tournament Champions (1998), Tournament Runner-Up (2000, 2002))

The Train, enough said. A mountain of a man, Todd, is currently enjoying a prolonged vacation due to a scheduled reconstructive surgery earlier this year. Krish is one run away from being the first triple-Century Bomber in team history. (The Century Club membership requires that you gain any combination of 100 runs, hits or RBIs during your career as a Bomber.) Co-captain of the team since 2000, Krish, along with Diaz, has been responsible for recruiting and player development during the off-season. Just for grins, ask him to crush a walnut in his right fist between innings.

IF Jason Patnode (Bombers (1999-2002) Tournament Runner-Up (2000, 2002))

Patnode, once the 1999 Bomber Co-Rookie of the Year, looks to make a resurgence in 2003. Still in possession of a pair of powerful arms, Jason dropped a ten pound rock on his head during the off season to correct his nagging double-vision. "Hey, I see just one ball now," he reports.

OF Scott Taylor (Bombers (1999-2002) Tournament Runner-Up (2000, 2002))

Taylor, the other half of the 1999 Rookie of the Year, still holds the record for most games played in a season (18) and most at-bats in a season (55). Another stunning bit of Bomber trivia, good at any party, holiday gathering, or bar-mitzvah.

IF Neil Lim Sang (Bombers (1999-2002) Tournament Runner-Up (2000, 2002))

Neil brings a bit of the WWE to the LFL. Looking more like the Rock than the Babe, Lim Sang looks to cultivate fear in the hearts of the opposition, especially when he shouts "swing!" (in a really evil voice) before each pitch.

IF Lori Petrini (Bombers (2001-2002) Tournament Runner-Up (2000, 2002))

Heartthrob and fan favorite, look for lefty Petrini on the 2003 Bomber Calendar. The 2001 Bomber Rookie of the Year was born a few days after team captain, Vince De Quattro, attended his first class at USC. Think about that.

IF Fisher Key (Bombers (2002) Tournament Runner-Up (2002))

Fisher "Da Blunt" Key will return for another season of fun and hi-jinx after his impressive Rookie of the Year showing in 2002. Please don't ask him why he picked that particular number for his jersey.

OF Andy Wong (Team 6 (1997-1998), Hong Kong Cavaliers (1999-2001), Bombers (2002) Tournament Runner-Up (2002))

Speedster Wong returns for a second year, proving that, even if you're over 30, a man can run faster than the speed of sound without being dragged from a small plane or fired from a mortar.

IF David Latour (Hong Kong Cavaliers (2000-2001), Bombers (1999, 2002) Tournament Runner-Up (2002))

Team funny-man and part-time stand-up comedian, Latour, hopes to continue his frolicking sideline antics during the 2003 season. Half athlete, half circus mime, Latour will keep the team in stitches during thick or thin. As the starting second baseman and Most Improved Player in 2002, Latour better hope for thick rather than thin, if you get my drift, David.

IF Katie Lynch (Bombers (2002) Tournament Runner-Up (2002))

Once dubbed the "nicest Bomber," by USA Today, Katie looks to shed her polite on-field manner and unleash a vast, angry maelstrom that is her inner, most private, competitive desire. Planning to wield Wolverine-style razor knives when stepping to the plate during the season, she is sure to instill terror in the heart of the opposition, or a thirty-day jail term in the county lock-up.

OF Vince De Quattro (Bombers blah blah blah... enough already)

Your in-flight entertainment. You'll find out about him, sure enough. When the punishment becomes more than you can handle, just say, "I'm a celebrity. Get me out of here!" We promise it will be painless.

BOMBERS DEFANG WOOKIEES, 14 - 2

SUTHERLAND PITCHES GEM, OFFENSE SHOWS POWER

Pitching ace Duncan Sutherland was in top form last night, showing why he was selected the Bomber's 2002 Most Valuable Player, as he limited the Ranch Wookiees to a single and two unearned runs, while striking out five and walking one en route to a 14 - 2 victory.

Sutherland (W, 1-0) notched his 54th career win in the Bomber's 70th regular season game. "My sinker was working well tonight, and combined with the new strike zone, gave me an edge. When you get the kind of offensive support our bats provide, it's easy to stay in a groove. This was a perfect way to start the season," said Sutherland in an after game press conference held at the Flatiron Grill in San Rafael.

The Wookiee lineup was kept off-balance all night, as their only output was a lone infield single in the third.

The vaunted offense went to work right away, as the first five batters reached base safely, capped by center fielder R. Jay Williams two-run blast to the gap in right center, his first home run as a Bomber.

"It's good to be back out here. My swing feels right and my timing is back after a year off. Working in the middle of this lineup, I expect to see good pitches all year," said Williams.

SS Marc Diaz, SS Scott Barrett, and 3B Grady Cummings lent muscle to the cause, each contributing a double, and collectively accounting for five runs batted in. Veteran free-agent 1B Robert De Haan (Hong Kong Cavaliers, Swingers, All-Stars) contributed two hits, two runs and drove in one.

Veteran 1B/OF Lori Petrini and rookie Marci Velando made outstanding plays in the field, contributing to an overall solid defensive performance.

OF Kelly Buchanan made an impressive start, leading off the bottom of the third inning with a solid drive to center, and later, making a running catch in the fourth to stop a Wookiee rally. For Buchanan, formerly of the 2002 Trailer Trash, this was her first win in thirteen attempts in the LFL.

"It's always nice to have that first win," she said in a post-game interview at the Flatiron, "but the team has really made an effort to welcome me. Especially team captain, Vince De Quattro -- a consummate good-sport and leader."

Several members of the team were evacuated to nearby hospitals to be treated for eye socket strain obtained while performing exaggerated eye-rolls after Buchanan's comments. Perennial funny-man and occasional second baseman, David Latour, sustained the most severe injuries, rupturing two inguinal hernias along with life-threatening eye trauma.

Next up for the Bombers are the new-look Mad Batters, a 2003 Darth Sox spin-off, on Wednesday, May 28th, at the Ranch.

BOMBERS TAKE THRILLER FROM BATTERS, 10 - 8

Lucas Valley, CA

BOMBERS OFFENSE DRIVES BATTERS MAD IN SIXTH

LF Dennis Von Galle, playing against his old Darth Sox teammates, singled in the game tying run with one out and the Bombers down 8 - 7 in the bottom of the sixth inning last night. His clutch hit kept the inning alive to set up 3B De Quattro's mighty two RBI swing one out later, and the Bombers held on in the top of the seventh to win the contest, 10 - 8.

"Duncan's been struggling a little at the plate, so I'm thinking long ball when I step in there against Steve (Curd). He'd struck me out earlier on a great pitch short. This time he got it up in my zone. Good-bye," said De Quattro. Right fielder, Lori Casler, narrowly missed gloving the deep line drive which would have ended the Bomber rally at one run, leaving the game tied.

Stand-out defense backed another solid outing by Sutherland (W, 2-0) who had one tough inning in the fifth. "They dropped a couple into the rover gap, and then got a hold of a few down the line. Wayne (Gilbert) was on a tear. They seemed hungry after their loss to the Pants last Friday," said Sutherland. It was Sutherland's 55th career victory.

Von Galle, sharp on defense all night, caught a key soft liner in the top of the seventh for the first out of the inning. Earlier De Quattro, 1B De Haan and C Lim Sang hooked up for an inning ending double play in the second. SS Scott Barrett turned in a gem, gunning Dhyana Brummel from deep short to end the sixth inning.

Marci Velando turned in a big defense performance, getting a record five put outs in the game. "Marci got it done tonight. She stepped up to some pretty heavy pressure. We were playing short, (nine players), and she came through," said CF Randy Severson.

1B Todd Krish came off the disabled list, to collect a hit and a run, putting him at the century mark for runs in his six year career. Krish is the only Bomber to possess 100 hits (113), 100 runs (100), and 100 RBIs (111) in a career.

It was the duo of Von Galle and Barrett, however, that helped win the day, contributing a combined two runs, three hits and two RBIs against their old teammates. "Dennis and I have been ready for this game all season, ever since we entered free-agency this spring. They were ready, too. This rivalry is big. I'm happy that it was Dennis' hit that tied this thing up. That's big pressure," said Barrett in a cell-phone interview after the game.

The Bombers will face The Gutterballs next Monday at the Ranch.
