    2009 Season : A reflection through BBQ smoke...
    The Diablos were eliminated on Sunday 9-8 in a 10-inning thriller against the Benders after beating the Blue Claws 9-5 the previous day...AND YES THOSE ARE THE PLAYOFF SCOREBOOK PAGES TOASTING ON THE GRILL

    A little playoff mojo gentlemen


    How on earth did we finish 10-10?
    A valid question since our record sat at 2-8 just a short while ago...Here is how it played out this past weekend...430pm on a Sunday in Marin licks nads...Watching the other squad play patty-cake when 1st pitch is supposed to be happening is even worse...Cheddar tossed another wonderful gem, but asking about stats in the book after a game is lame...yeah I said it...Marcus did his usual merry-go-round act on the bases and patrolled CF-for all this his Turkey Burger got the extra attention this year at the Wipe Out...congrats buddy...we welcomed back two prodigal sons with PR Sainz and Justin making appearances...Marin still poses challenges for our 3B, but the RBI's more than made up for it...Kemo retained the "3-0 Ho" status-only for the integrity of the game-He also got his food on time, enjoyed the cleanliness of the bathroom, noted the servers lack of flair and took his leftovers seriously...AC Sanchez was bummed about the lack of recycling generated by our post-game venue-I'm just thinking his mood was subdued since he actually drove the speed limit this year...Myrow showed up in a taxi like a big leaguer and also demonstrated how poor the grains were on his Louisville Slugger-Keep swinging brother or as Eli would say "Hit to contact"...Alex decided to show off for his family and put on a display of hops and arm strength...Joltin' Joe wore one in the same spot for the 2nd week in a row starting a new streak that he may not want to keep...Brother said lets kick some ass while he is out of town so lets do it fellas...Diablos open up the playoffs against the Blue Claws 9/12 - 2pm - Flood Park...

    Uncle Charlie
    Diablos snap their 6 game winning streak with a 5-3 loss to the Bay Sox...

    Diablos come out FLAT and still beat Rebels 12-4
    Another Sunday in the park, Another Diablo victory...Cheddar tossed a beautiful chickenhawk complete game, but he had to bat for himself...the collective slap of our heads could be heard for miles...AC Sanchez decided to call out the squad as FLAT before the 1st pitch and added an exclamation point to his comment by throwing the ball into LF during a stolen base attempt-It worked...Federico showed up after a full nights sleep and picked up 3 RBI's...5 to 1 odds he shows up hungover as a muthafucka next week...Marcus tracked down some flyballs and absolutely tore up the 1st base coaching box...No doubt he had fabric softener on his mind...Phil felt that his jersey didn't have any mojo so he left it at home-Luckily for him Nieves left a little juice in his and it rubbed off...I'm guessing Nieves pre-game advice of "Put your dick into it Brother!" also helped...Kemo showed his strike zone knowledge by Big Leaguing a couple walks off of Dreyfuss(That last one was a strike Dude)…He also forgot to tell Phil that it sucks hitting behind him-$1 lesson learned…Cam continued his quest for a hyphen by scoring a couple runs and contributing nothing on defense…Don’t worry the ball will get hit to you during a crucial inning…His Kirkland Signature beer was received well during post-game although he didn’t share any of the free white t-shirts or 4 radial tires that came with said beer…Eli survived a pitch to the neck…To his credit he never went down BUT he did circle the runway a few times and I am pretty sure he got clearance to land…Atta boy…Postgame was handled with class and dignity(even allowing the inner circle to be breached by a Rebel)after anonymous sources snitched out the Diablos to the league office…Good job Deep Throat…We enjoyed our orange slices and toasted our juice boxes in your honor.

    "Error free baseball wins games"...What a concept
    The Diablos used every trick in the book on Sunday to guarantee a 6-1 victory over the Titans...One lad celebrated his 21st(53rd) birthday by showing up glossy eyed from too many Long Island's, One fella rolled up with a semi-conscious(possibly dead) chick in the back seat and Cheddar brought his 7th inning snack of PB&J with the crusts cut off...On the field the Diablos defense showed no mercy and even turned a double play...After allowing a run in the 1st inning Cheddar clamped down on the Titans offense....He only pissed off Ebony & Ivory with lead-off walks a few times this week...AC Sanchez had an amazing day by scoring 2 runs without ever touching the plate-Eat shit David Blaine...His constant yelling behind the dish took it's toll and by the 9th inning he had the umpire fetching the balls for him- I believe thats called respecting your elders...Marcus finally got a flyball in CF for the first time in a month-He caught it and immediately acknowledged the sun worshippers in stripes...Alex Mora showed that pop-ups off a Bamboo bat cause more havoc than maple-His kick save @ 1B also proved clutch since it slowed the ball enough for Kemo to get a true hop...Cameron finally decided to stop hitting the ball with authority and had an RBI duck fart to get the Diablo offense going-contract negotiations must've stalled...After showing us his best caged animal routine Fed stepped on the field and flashed a little leather-All the yelling from Gabe probably had something to do with it...Post-Game had solid attendance including RoboCop errr Whitey and his family...Topics covered were diversity in sexual relations, 24-Hour Fitness' policy on drinking and stealing on the job and why the hell is Fed sitting in his car...And yes ladies and gentlemen Cheddar is pictured above during his Time-Out for his subtle comments directed towards Kemo's hat.

    11 Diablos - 7 Dirtbags - 2 Umpires - 1 Ice Cream Man
    This Ice Cream dude cutting across the diamond was the only action San Bruno Park saw Sunday afternoon. I would like to tell you about the gem Philly tossed yesterday OR the majestic bomb that Fed hit foul OR the 3 walks that Kemo stared out of the umpire, but in all fairness to the baseball gods I won't try to pass off these lies to you. Now our significant others are a different story(unless you brought 'em to the park and they witnessed the Dirtbags not reaching the minimum). Since there was no baseball played the Diablos got an early jump on the post-game festivities which proved rather eventful. AC Sanchez once again showed why he is Public Enemy #1 to all the pigeons that roam the parks looking for cans. He also went against tradition and did all this flexing with his shirt on(sorry ladies). Eli proved once again he is made of money and racked up a fine for wrong colored socks. He didn’t allow the fashion mistake to interfere with his bullpen for the scouts. A factory recall was initiated for Ipod workout arm bands since a Diablo(who will remain anonymous)almost landed on the DL for wearing it too tight. Fortunately he won’t miss anytime at third base. Naldo graced us with his presence(albeit a little late)so we decided to tell him we had to forfeit because we were one guy short. His expression was priceless until “Poker Face” Narvaez spilled the beans. Damn you Fed we could’ve strung that one out for awhile! Joltin’ Joe made an early exit and in the spirit of the X-games decided to jump the curb. Since he didn’t get to work on his latest streak I guess he had to hit something. Talk of last weeks BOMB surrendered by Cheddar now has the estimates up to 450. Since he wasn’t here to defend himself it was pretty ruthless. That will teach him not to plan vacations during the season. Also if any of you fans are interested in experiencing a Diablo Post-Game the management is now making reservations for the Wipe-Out Grill in Marin on August 30th. We are all following Kemo’s lead that day.

    Win Beers Taste Way Better Than Tie Beers
    Can words sum up the weirdness of Sunday? Probably not, but here goes...Someone called in the blimp and a flying advertisement for Sugary Buds...Cheddar nutted up and worked through a tough 6th inning to get the CG win...He also gave up an absolute BOMB that was measured from the Google Earth image above...Conservative estimates are 430 feet...Kemo gave a solid tribute to Rickey Henderson with a stand up steal...He also got his ass soaked by finding the only puddle on the dryest field we have played on all year...Federico picked up a few rbi's, but also played third base like a 53 year old...the self proclaimed house broken Cameron dropped in a few more hits but proved more clutch with his surveying skills...Miller decided to buck trends and give us a going away gift by scoring the winning run and missing cut offs(had to dude)-now go mold young minds and remember "8 year olds dude"...Marcus did his usual thing in center and in the lead off spot-his early exit from post game was due to laundry and bachelorhood...Joltin' Joe picked up where he left off with the bamboo a few weeks back but his "Fed" that he pulled on that pop-up will probably not be lived down until 2010...Coach Trejo found himself another line-up that could tear ass early and provided the incentive to win with a cold 36 pack in the cooler...AC Sanchez decided to provide free tickets to the gun show by pegging two would be base stealers early(Kemo’s creative swipe tag helped) no doubt he was aided by the return of his glove from the DL...Props go out to Nieves and Gabe venturing out for a beer run in the neighborhood...Post-game provided some laughs with Kemo almost getting mauled by a dingo, TCHNIC picking out the smallest infielder to step up to in the afternoon game and Feds stang getting the royal treatment in the form of a wash/wax with recycled Heineken and Budweiser...Oh yeah Diablos win 10-9...Look at Lou dressing the part of someone named Cheddar below...


    Diablos win despite fortune tellers warning
    Diablos beat Sea Lions 13-4 in San Bruno Park...AC Sanchez proved that predicting the future is not easy....Lou earned the nickname of Cheddar....Fed showed us how to hire Mariachi's and play defense on Nachos during post-game....The part of Alfredo was played by his understudy Eli-direct quote dude-He said it before the game....Brooks openly pleaded his case for a seeing eye rbi single to the tune of "Sneak through you Bitch!"....Our racial coolness elevated itself to white and black guys pouring beer on each other....Miller showed his versatility by playing LF, looking like a 3B for a few innings and diving for a ball in the same spot he stood in RF....Marcus scored 4 runs while patrolling CF, BUT more importantly stayed for the post-game pow wow....Joltin' Joe Ponson's hitting streak was halted 49 shy of Dimaggio and he also couldn't catch with Meteors 1st basemans glove, his loss of invite to Gabe's house was totally unrelated....Cameron got himself one step closer to earning the hyphen on his jersey-He also took two steps back for making Brooksy score from 1st on multiple occasions....Phil finished off the final 3 innings on the mound and then gets to drive to St. Louis a week too late-that sucks....The kid Naldo stepped up by giving a clinic on bunting and removing the sticker from his hat-a big day in the youngsters life....Gabe went overboard with the Crystal Light and turned in a solid performance behind the dish despite using an inferior glove that seemed to not frame the ball and impeded his ability to throw out baserunners-damn glove....Kaitlyn(sp)came through clutch by picking up Cheddar before he went for seconds on the lawn nachos....Nieves walked a little taller after the game-obviously it was his unstoppable line-up that caused this behavior not the viagra....Next week the Diablos return to Goose Shit Park aka Raimundi Field....Bring your money for tacos(or mysterious pizza deliveries)and your Kevlar....oh and ladies the Nicaraguan nightmare pictured above is Hungry and Humble.

    Who knew ritual sacrifice worked so well
    Yes you heard it right. The Diablos level of debauchery has sunk to a new low. Now before y'all go running to alert PETA the chicken was a lovely roasted garlic number from the Safeway rotisserie and for our needs it came through like a champion. Following the latest 1 run debacle in our previous game the post-game festivities wrapped up with a 2/3 majority vote in favor of an offering to the baseball gods. It worked like a charm and the Diablos defeated Artichoke Joes 5-1. Sweet Lou Gardella tossed a complete game gem. Striking out 10 batters and walking 6(Don't ever doubt the captain when he says you walked a shitload....whore). The scoring was started with Federico Narvaez hitting a meteor shot to CF for an RBI sac fly. Cameron Yuen-Shore continued earning his hyphen by pissing on the rug and adding two more hits to his resume. AC Sanchez kept his sponsorship with Crystal Light going strong by reaching base three times and taming AJ's running game. He also hosted the post-game festivities which will be remembered for 1)Two large men comparing bellies 2)Black is slimming 3)Rookie Gardella disrespecting the BBQ by bringing his own food-who does that 4)Kemo working the grill with his bare hands 5)Alfredo dressing like a white man.

    Diablos piss off Gods one more time in 11-10 loss
    The guy on the right was umpiring our game. You figure out how it went. More to come...

    Signs of the Apocalypse
    Happy Fathers day all you Dads. Last Sunday the Diablos welcomed their second and FINAL game in San Francisco for the 2009 season by ending their losing streak with a 13-0 victory over the Tsunami. The effort was shared by many whether it was Joltin' Joe Ponson shooting the gaps and getting dirty at 3rd(u almost had that shit man) or Kemo "I'll be right back" Lary showing his youthful legs in scoring 3 runs(He also gave a clinic on how to sneak out early). Sweet Lou decided to throw fastballs since he enjoys the echo @ West Sunset and got the 7 inning CG(even had to field his position a few times). Cameron Lebowksi stepped in behind the plate and couldn't be stopped with the stick. RBI's were dropped in by Fed "I'll be late next week" Narvaez and Alex Mora. Fresh fish Zack Miller impressed with his hustle. The Flying Orosco brothers were a welcome site. Although Oz needs to work on his 1st base coaching style. This week looked like an entirely different Diablo squad. Of course Brother thinks its all his line-up tweaking, BUT we know it's more about guys just playing some ball. Late arrival by world traveler PR Sainz was welcomed to collect a boat load of Kangaroo Court fees. This Sunday the Diablos play @ 2 pm Flood Park against the Fog.

    8 and counting...
    Epic, Colossal, Mountainous. These are just a few words that can describe the current 8-game losing skid the Diablos are riding. After a demoralizing 13-5 extra inning loss to the Sea Lions a double header against the 1st place Storm was just what the doctor ordered. Making his Diablo debut Phil Lonsdale tossed 7 solid innings, but the Diablo offense couldn't get across the plate enough to help him out in a 5-4 loss. Post game odds on Phil being able to wipe his ass Monday were rumored to be around 10-1. After a 30 minute lunch break spent getting ice for the post game sodas and rocking out to Kemo's greatest hits the Diablos sent Sweet Lou to the hill. His 6 innings kept the Diablos in the game, but once again the offense stalled and the final score was 6-4. Joe Ponson ripped a 2-RBI double in he 9th inning to keep things interesting and extend his hitting streak to every game he makes the line-up. AC Sanchez was injured on a hustle play at first base in which the Storm 1B thought he was playing soccer and gave Gabe's hand a kick. Since this weeks absence from post-game activities was not his choice the cans were recycled and brought to Gabes house. That should cover the co-pay big guy. To end the losing streak virgin sacrifice was mentioned during the drinking session, but quickly forgotten after Frank aired the latest episode of Dragon Slayer for the team. The new guys were introduced to a memorable roast of Alfredo by none other than Kemo "Shut the fuck up. You can't say nuthin'" Lary. The Diablos return to SF this week and play the Tsunami @ West Sunset.

    Baseball gods smite Diablos in 6-5 loss to AJ's
    For anyone in attendance Sunday evening a full refund of your time and money should be expected. The Diablos decided to put on a little show of what not to do in most situations. Never make the first or third out at third base. We did. Don't walk the lead off batter with a 3-run lead in the 9th inning. We did. Don't lose track of how many outs there are in an inning. We did. Dont drink in the park after hours. We did. For most of Sunday the Diablos looked like they would pull this one out even while committing so many baseball sins. Fugeddaboutit! Gardella threw a solid game. Gabe ripped a sweet RBI-double. And our overweight line-up caused havoc on the base paths all night. In the end a strong 4 run rally by AJ's in the top of the 9th extended the Diablos losing streak to five. Post game consisted of 5 guys drinking in the dark and throwing cans in the garbage(where were you AC Sanchez?).

    2009 season schedule complete
    The remainder of the 2009 schedule has been updated. Check your social calendar and plan accordingly.

    Diablos drown in rare Hayward Tsunami
    Wow is the only description for Saturday @ Hayward High School. The host schools mascot is the Farmers and thats what we should have been doing instead of playing ball. That is if we could find the field we need to plow with AC Sanchez at the wheel. Figuring we had plenty of time to sight see before 1st pitch the Diablo party bus hit up a few fast food joints, visited some of Haywards finer neighborhoods and even had time to shop a few garage sales for the perfect mothers day gift. I think PR even got a screaming deal on a knock-off designer hand bag. After pre-game warm ups(ha) Joe Ponson took the hill for your Diablos. Making his 1st start of the season fresh off the DL he gave us everything we needed. Six innings later he departed with an enlarged nut sack and the Diablos trailing 2-1. Not much to chat about from that point on. Final score was 8-1 in the Tsunamis favor. Other highlights involved Track coach Kemo legging out his first triple since the Reagan administration and AC Sanchez taking the term "getting treatment" to the next level by playing 8 innings with a bag of ice in his sock. Conversations of where to get the best crab and who left what in the car back on our side of the bay dominated the post game. The Diablo heads(livers) are definitely in "mid-season" form as we reach the quarter pole of the 2009 season. Also just to keep our cry baby reputation shining bright the trek across the bay for that field is a joke. Not because of traffic or gas prices. Because we can find a field like that anywhere in the SF area(HNABA). That is all.

    Schedule updated thru 7/11
    Read the headline fool!

    Two losses in a row put Diablos at .500
    A tough two weeks for the Diablos has sent them down the standings to 2-2. Last week 9 players showed up and we lost to the Blazers 4-2. Injuries limited Sweet Lou to only 4 innings or work, but Justin picked up the slack and carried the Diablos the rest of the way. Highlights from that defeat were 1)Gabe bronzing on the 3rd level of hell @ Alfredo's place 2)Lou proving to us why we DH for him. This week it was a familiar foe the Blue Claws(who wear red jerseys). With injuries and swine flu keeping key players out of the line-up the Diablos battled back from a 9-2 deficit with a 6-run seventh inning highlighted by a 3-run triple from Naldo(no doubt trying to impress his lady). Amidst chirps about the time limit from the home team the umpires allowed play to resume. In the top of the 9th a towering solo home run by Marcus Reed tied it up at 9-9. Unfortunately a run was plated on a sacrifice fly by teh Blue Claws in the bottom of the 9th and the game was over. Post game attendance was considerably light, but when you only have 7.5 players ont he roster that is to be expected. This week we got screwed by the powers that be and are playing in San Leandro @ 715pm on Sunday. Wow. Good thing we signed up to play in the SLNABA.....oh wait it was the SFNABA. Hopefully we'll get a game in San Francisco before the season is over.

    Diablos edge Benders 3-2 in Alameda
    What a day for baseball. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping(where is a shotgun when you need it) and the pitchers showed up to play. For the Diablos it started and ended with 'Fresh Fish' Gardella. Earning his second win he went the distance on the hill and begged(like a woman)for runs in the dug out. In true Diablo fashion we waited until the last possible moment to score those runs. Returning from his expensive Vegas vacation 'PR' Sainz got himself a batting average, had a $1 strikeout and scored the game winning run. Not a bad '09 debut. 'Mad Dawg' McFawn scored the first run of the day for the Diablos and had some nifty glove work at the hot corner(That ump totally screwed you). The outfield was solid as usual. Led by CF Marcus Reed who squashed a couple of Bender rallies all by himself. 'Flat tire' Escobar and Brian Baduske-Smith locked down the corner spots respectively. Oh and B also wanted me to add he is the most feared 8th hitter in the league. Behind the dish 'Aluminum Cans' Sanchez showed the energy of a teenager(or maybe someone who mixes stimulants with his crystal light). After he flexed his muscle in gunning down the first Bender who attempted to steal nobody even considered that idea for the rest of the game. He played the part so well that he over threw Gardella regularly to show he couldn't control his cannon. 'FundaMENTALs' Narvaez found new and amazing ways of parting himself from his hard earned dollars. Whether it's striking out looking or calling his own infield fly rule from the batters box I can't wait to see what he does next. Punch and cookies were served post-game, but the bridge traffic cut the festivities short. Props to Kemo 'get away from the grill' Lary for feeding the animals @ Gabe's house.

    Diablos pound SuperStars 14-4 on Opening Day
    March 30, 2009 To borrow a line from Marvin Gaye "Oh mercy mercy me". That about sums up our first game of the 2009 season, but what fun would it be to chat about a mercy killing without some details. To begin every Diablo that stepped in the batters box scored a run today. A new Kangaroo Court fine was established thanks to Fed almost decapitating Frank in the on-deck circle. 'Aluminum Cans' Sanchez performed such magic behind the dish the Super Stars were talking amongst themselves about his cannon all day(His 2-RBI's didn't hurt). Fresh fish Louis Gardella(CG,12k,5BB,3H,2ER)decided to break from his pre-season tradition of hitting more batters than the other team. It worked. Justin "Mad Dawg" McFawn knocked in 2 rbi's and also had enough energy to yell at Fed from across the diamond on more than one occasion. Frank 'Pimpin aint easy' Escobar found time to score a run and play a solid LF while dodging flying timber. Brian "I use my cellphone while driving" Baduske added a run and hit while hosting post-game festivities at his place. Kemo "Brooksy's got it" Lary showed his veteran poise by not letting some defensive miscues creep into his at-bats. Atta boy. Center Fielder Marcus Reed(2hits,2runs,2RBIs) showed why the Diablo front office flagged him down on the side of the road this off-season and asked him to play. Naldo Orozco brought the scenery and managed to score 2 runs from the lead off spot. Now if we can only get him to take a pitch or two. And last but certainly not least we have Joe Ponson-Chaika. He patiently waited for his AB all afternoon. His purchase of a new bat had him dreaming of shots in the gap and the muff confetti that accompanies such hitting prowess. Sadly that dream was put on hold since he was promptly beaned on the 3rd pitch. Better luck next time Joe. Overall it was a complete 180 degree turn from our pre-season games. Who knew the veterans on this squad were just holding back until it counted. There was even a little fire shown during a squabble over the post-game spread. Keep at it fellas!

    ***Location change for season opener - Flood Park***
    March 26, 2009 Season opener against the SuperStars has been moved to Flood Park 3pm on 3/29/09. Please plan accordingly for rides and bring your beer money. McFawn has been put in charge of providing post-game orange slices and lettuce. Received a warning email from the league office regarding the behavior of an "unidentified league team" in San Leandro last week. The letter specified beer drinking and "legal and illegal" smoking as the infractions. It also mentioned leaving trash and not maintaining the field after use. The summary statement in the email threatened to re-schedule games from San Leandro Park to Big Rec for any teams breaking the "rules". Ummmm ok. Since we signed up to play in the SFNABA I don't see how not having to travel across a bridge to play is punishment. As for the complaint of garbage we have "Aluminum Cans" Sanchez living by the motto of 'No empty beer can is left behind'. We don't leave any food trash since eating keeps you from getting buzzed quickly. I am fully aware the complaint was not about us since we played in SF this past weekend, but I am sure that at some point this season we will have a complaint against us. Oh well. That will not effect the Diablos post-game ritual of alcohol consumption, smoke inhalation(legal and illegal) and game review. We went a perfect 20-0 last year in after game theatrics and we strive to keep that record intact. Play Ball!

    League Meeting
    2009 SFNABA league meeting has been completed. The Ping-Pong ball has been grabbed(Thanks Justin)and a lottery has shuffled the Bay and Ocean Conferences. The Diablos have been placed in the Ocean-East with five other squads(Storm, AJ's, Bay Sox, Tsunami, Sea Lions). Some squads have been played and others are new. The league executives have guaranteed the first 4 games of the schedule to be released within a week. This weekend the Diablos play a pre-season game against an old foe @ Balboa 2pm.

    Hot Stove Report
    December 22, 2008 Happy Holidays Diablo fans. Hope all is holly and jolly in your lives. We start with sympathy to the family of Dock Ellis. He passed away this past week after a battle with Cirrhosis. He is best known for throwing a No-Hitter while under the influence of LSD. A truly remarkable sporting achievement if you have ever thrown a baseball or dropped acid. I am writing this review due to the recent flood of emails inquiring about the Diablos interest in this years Free Agent pool. Let me start with our most recent news. We are no longer in talks with Mark Teixeira's people. Initially it was the money demands, but the deep pockets of GM Nieves Trejo quickly evened those numbers out. In the end the deal breaker was the fact that Scott Boras couldn't handle Trejo calling him 'Brother' during negotiations(also the fact that Teixeira's drug test came back negative meant he got an F in the team chemistry department...a killer with this organization). Our legal department had drawn up an 8 year-100 Beer/game contract for C.C. Sabathia, but a fierce bidding war developed between Hank Steinbrenner and Hank Steinbrenner. After careful consideration it was the training staffs view that C.C. was guaranteed to gain at least 25 lbs. post-gaming in the parking lot. Rounding out 2008 the Diablo front office thought they had filled the SS hole with a 4 year deal with Rafael Furcal. The initial report of Furcal's agents using the Diablos offer to drive up the price were false. The truth is that Diablo management found the Fax machine with a paper jam and just gave up on sending the offer. "That is disappointing. With his multple DUI's and alcoholic training from Bobby Cox he would've fit in well with these guys. Especially when the hat was passed for the 3rd and 4th beer runs." was a quote from someone close to the negotiations. A one and done scenario in the playoffs has left a bitter taste in managements mouth. All positions are open for next season which should create some competition when Spring Training begins in March.
