Newsletter WEEK 7: 4 GAME WINNING STREAK

PRESTIGE WORLDWIDE ON A CLUB HIGH 4 GAME WINNING STREAK: LOOK OUT

Prestige Worldwide has been on a Role. When people start dying PW starts living. PW is on a 4 game winning streak the last two weeks. Why must you ask? Well 1. Fan appreciation night was rained out and left a nasty taste in the PW's mouth. Especially Jeff Whitehouse because no one really knows where his mouth has been nibbling on; and 2. They need to make a name for themselves to draw a bigger crowd. In week 6 PW won both games defeating the RiverRats AGAIN 20 something to 2 something making that in 4 games played (80 something to 8 something); then getting their revenge on the Bumbed Knees for the second time after taking an embarrassing loss the first time they faced each other. MVPs for those games were: GAME 1 GABE Bailey, ladies that is GABE with an "E" who's bat came alive the first game; and then game two the MVP went to the Right Fielder of the river rats because he dropped a number of balls in one inning to allow PW to score of 100 runs (really it was 12).

As the final week of the spring season approached (minus the rain out game TBA) Jeff Whitehouse and Mark Ledonne were MIA.
Rumors have been reported that Jeff Whitehouse was found moving furniture into a prostitution house in order to start his own business. It's kind of nice idea. He will have hookers and if you order a 2 for 1 hooker you get a free Budweiser. As for Mark Ledonne he was found in the ocean skinny dipping and motor boating those hoots-of-bitches. Therefore, that led PW to have exactly 10 to play with. Coach of PW as quoted to say "This lineup looks really strong" but every player for PW looked like they were drinking a fifth of Jack D the night before and therefore he went on to say "It is not good that we are playing the top team in the league 'Ponders'"

GAME 1

Game 1 went back and forth for the first 3 innings. It looked like a typical PW vs Ponder Matchup where it would go down to the wire. But Shelton, Sims, and Ziegler picked up the team in 4th and 5th inning to allow PW to run rule Ponder for the second time this year 12-2. MVP went to the MR RYAN SHELTON who went 3-4.

FAN OF THE GAME WENT TO: KRISTIN SIMS due to her quote (Look at the new improved James Sims, he is all business and he's my baby"

GAME 2

Game 2 was once again against the Ponders. The match up leading up to this game was 2-2. PW had run ruled the twice and Ponder run ruled PW once. But a unsung hero arised to the occasion for PW to lead them to victory, Matt Ziegler. Matt did the little things play defense, get singles, steal bases, and take walks. And to score whether he was in pickle or not he scored. He's like flash no one could get him out. What was the trick you asked? We put a big boob beautiful blonde by the plate each time he got on base (no it was not HOOTS). And all Ziegler wanted to do was touch home base with her and say "Hey Baby I am Matt Ziegler." Well it worked and he scored 3 runs that game by himself.

Anyways- the game was close until the bottom of the 6th. PW went to bat with the game tied and scored 6 runs to take a 6 run lead. PW closed out the game with a Mike Lemmink strikeout.

PW took both games and moved into 2nd place behind the Yellow Panzies.

MVP of Game 2; Matt Ziegler

FAN OF THE GAME - BOB F-ing LEmmink. PW was happy Bob could show for the PW game. PW is very appreciative of Bob who supports PW get togethers at the Reds game by giving them front row seats. Bob Lemmink PW salutes you.


FAN APPRECIATION NIGHT WAS OBVIOUSLY CANCELLED. PW WILL EITHER HOLD FA FOR THE RAIN OUT GAME OR THE FIRST GAME OF SUMMER SEASON.

ALSO BE READY FOR AS MANY DOGS AS POSSIBLE NIGHT.

BOOMBOX NIGHT ORGANIZED.

Prestige Worldwide WEEK 6

Prestige Worldwide Splits Week 6 of Spring Ball

 

FAN APPRECIATION NIGHT IS THIS COMING SUNDAY JUNE 20, 2009

 (MUSIC COURTSY OF RYAN SHELTON'S ENTRENCE SONG "RENT MONEY")

Sunday rolled around for the 6^th week of Spring Softball and as the players rolled in to Mid American Ball Yard they just hoped they didn’t have to insult the Rats of Indiana again. Last week PW won both games fairly easily by getting revenge on Bummed Knees and once again destroying the Rats of Indiana. Thus, PW finally got their swagger back and were ready to take on the Yellow Tight Pant Fairies.

 

As PW took the field as the home team and Mike Lemmink looked still drunk from acting like it was Halloween at Ohio U for the weekend.

 

And left fielder Matt Bailey hobbled out to left with a bummed ankle and missing contact lenses. Why was Matt hobbling you asking? Well Matt Bailey got into a car accident over the weekend when he was doing some pretty immature things while driving with a PW groupie. Reports came out that they saw the groupie flee the scene while Matt Bailey was left at the car with terrible sprained ankle and some minor cuts and bruises. Nobody really knows the true story though. Ownership is declining comment until they get all the details. PW did give a public announcement to PW Newsletter stating "We do not know all the details and whether drugs or alcohol was related. We have heard rumors about this groupie who tends to slip roofies in peoples drinks. We hope Bailey was not a victim of this. If he was a victim I hope the public realizes he was a victim not an attacker. We have spoken with Matt Bailey and his family and as of right now everything looks like it will clear up in a matter of days. We hope to see Matt on the field as good ol T BONE tearing it up like he has been all year."

 

GAME 1

 

The game started off slow after 2 innings the score was 2-1 Yellow Fairies. But by the fourth and seventh inning both teams crossed the plate a combined 32 times. PW did most of their damage with 2 outs and the bottom of the order really stepped up. Matt Bailey did sit out from the field some inning but still managed to go 3-4; Jeff Whitehouse also went 3-4 with team high 3 runs scored. And for hungover Mike Lemmink, well his season average (.500) continues to plummet and went 1-4 for the game. Other notable players were James Sims, who went 3-4 with who knows how many RBIs, and infamous TURTLE went 3-4. Brian Manning also turned his best game of the year going a perfect 3-3. Turtle has shot his average from .250 to .524 in just two weeks. Also Gab Bailey & Matt Ziegler hit .500 for the game!

 

But the drama unfolded in the 7^th inning. PW took the field in the Top of 7^th up 2. When PW came back to bat they were down 3. Bottom of the 7^th if PW gets some hits and runs the bases smart they win, if not they lose. PW scored two runs and had a man on 3^rd to win the game. Mark Ledonne came to the plate. Mark started the season on fire, but it looks as if Hoots has been riding Mark to hard with her mouth and uhhhh and yeah you know. Mark grounded out to SS to end the game. Mark showed the emotion as he shook hands with Yellow Tight Pant Fairies and PW tried to pick him up but instead he yells over to the Fairies, “Go get smaller pant size for next game, your butt ain’t tight enough.”

 

Anyways PW was down after that lost but next game brought boombox game. And who would they play? Well, it was step up from the Rats to “Beer Run”

 

MVP of the Game – Jeff Whitehouse 3-4 3 Runs scored.

 

Fan(s) of the game – Stephanie and Benjie the dog. This was at request of Stephanie also joining her was her buddy Kat. Thanks for coming out

 

Hecklers of the game – CLIFF HODAPP – He claims to be a fan of PW but continues to heckle the team.

 

GAME 2

 

As PW went to bat music was blaring for each player very unorganized might I add. Notable songs to get played for players was: James Sims came out to Taylor Swift “our song”, Marty Huber “Britney Spears”, Matt Bailey “Pop Lock and Drop it” and Matt Ziegler “What is Love”.

 

As the music played PW started playing worse and after 4 innings was actually losing to this god awful team 6-7. But after the cut the music and look of lets get down to business came into PW players eyes the game was over and PW won 18-8 after 5 innings.

 

Notable players in Game 2 were: Ryan Shelton 3-4; Scott Biegler 3-4, 4 Runs Scored; Mike Lemmink was feeling better after sweating alcohol to go 4-4 and 3 Runs Scored.

 

MVP – MIKE LEMMINK

 

FAN OF THE GAME – Ralf West – the old man who sat on PWs stands and hit on and said dirty things to all the fine ladies sitting in the stands.

5/17 brings 2 Losses

Moon Does Not Shine Bright for PW

 

Prestige Worldwide Newsletter Edition 3.4

 

Background

May was in full swing and week 4 the season was strolling around, but so was the festival of Maifest. Team orders were to have curfew by 11 pm because of the big games on Sunday night. But some of the P-Dubbers thought otherwise and a celebration was ordered up for the nice weather that was approaching. 6 Players of PW decided it would be a great idea to attend the party of Maifest on the eve of game night against team orders. Not only to attend but to share the beautiful night with shots of “Moonshine.” And did the moon ever shine so bright – THAT NIGHT. Ryan Shelton was stumbling from bar to bar,


Mike Lemmink was asking people “What they know about Mike Lemmink”, Matt Bailey was stumbling around lost in Newport, Marty Huber was trying to rekindle the flames, Matt Ziegler was well uhhhh being Matt “F-ing” Ziegler, and for Mark Ledonne he didn’t have his “boo” Hoots with him so he just fell asleep in the corner of the bar. As for the rest of the team they were all shacked away in the team village thinking about game time. Well James Sims was taking shots of Patron by himself to calm his bad ass nerves.

 

The Moon lost its shine and Sun rose to shine on 6 for sure hungover ballplayers. Mark Ledonne woke up in Cheviot some how, Mike Lemmink woke up on the floor of the bed, Marty woke up in some strange room, Ryan Shelton and Matt Bailey woke up in their own car, and Matt Ziegler well uhhh he just doesn’t sleep. But as the sun shined through the windows they all mimic the same thing – “I don’t feel so good.” Mike Lemmink also accidently sent a text message to General Manager saying, “I don’t know if I’ll even be able to stand up.” The GM called all players and found out about the wild night. GM did not have much of a choice but to let them play or they couldn’t field a team, but ensured punishment on the ENTIRE team because of the 6 players’actions.

 

To say the least enough punishment was delivered on the field.

 

GAME 1

 

Game 1 was an intense game against one of the top teams in the league. PW run ruled this team in surprise fashion in week 1 15-4 in 5 innings. The game was back and forth after each inning after each team had an answer for their opponents runs. Ryan Shelton still drunk from the night before carried the team with 3-3, 2 double game; along with James Sims 2-3 with a double and 2 runs scored. After the fourth inning PW found themselves down 5 runs though and moon was no longer shining though it seemed. But in Top of the 5^th inning PW Catanzaro started a rally followed by 7 straight hits (singles by Jeff Whitehouse, Shelton, Sims, M. Bailey, Brian Manning; double by Biegler, and a triple by Huber). Bases were loaded with two out and clutch batter James Sims came to the plate. PW was looking to add insurance to their new lead, well to say the least can of corn was popped to RF to end the big inning. But all of sudden PW was up 2 runs going into the 6^th inning.

 

Their opponents answered back with 5 more runs to go up 3 going into the last inning. Due to the 1 hour time limit the ump ordered the one pitch rule. You were either out, hit, or walked depending on one pitch. For example, if you hit a foul ball you are out. Anyways PW could not answer and lost a close ball game 12-15.

 

MVP of the game went to – Ryan Shelton 3-3, 2Bs, 2 Runs Scored

 

Fan(s) of the game – The Catanzaro’s (parents of TURTLE) made their debut to PW grand stands. As for the Mrs. Turtle she wrote the PW Newsletter Editor saying last weeks comment was uncalled for because she wanted to clarify Turtle is never on top).

 

 

GAME 2

 

Game 2 was soon after and the opponent. Well the same team! Revenge was on PW’s mind after team photos were taken. So how did it go? Let’s make it short sweet. In 5 innings the ball game was over and PW was run ruled 2-12. PW managed 6 hits (.286 avg) and lousy 2 runs scored. Mike Lemmink, Scott Biegler, and Ryan Shelton all pulled themselves out after the game. Moonshine finally had got the tbe best of the team and embarrassment fell on the organization. Not much was said in and out of the locker room.

 

So you are probably asking how did some of the players handle the loss? That’s right Take 5, bottle/draft a beer and a steak hoagie made the tough night a little easier to swallow.

 

Mandatory batting practice will be taken at 6 pm before the next game. More details to follow

 

And the GM also announced batting order will be shuffled to try to get this team back on the right track. Every win for the season has been by run rule. PW needs to learn to win the close ones. ONE STEP AT A TIME.

 

MVP of the game – Bailey and Patty the DOGS aka EVERYONE SUCKED

 

Fan of the game – Gena Bailey – Brought oranges for the team and has taken over duties of team photographer. Now Gena please work on your hubby Gab’s Batting Avg.

 

PW would like to also thank – Kari, Doodle, Kristin, the Old Man, and all the dogs who showed. Any fans we may have forgot we are sorry and hope to see ya next time.

 

Special Event s to come:

1. Fan Appreciation Night – Date TBA – Players will pay for Fan entrance fees (goal 3 fans per player.

 

2. Dog Night – Even though this happens every Sunday – As many dogs as possible will be the goal.

WEEK 2 NEWSLETTER - PW SLITS 2

PW Splits the Two Games

Prestige Worldwide Softball Newsletter Edition 3.2

Prestige Worldwide took the field for Week 2. It was Derby weekend and team watch the big upset of Mind that Bird take home the roses at 51-1 odds; pretty much the same odds of Rats of Indiana winning a game this year. But after week 1’s performance Prestige Worldwide’s odds of continue their win streak was almost the same as Big Brown winning the Triple Crown in 2008. In the end PW lived up to Big Brown’s style of blowing the last game of the night 13-14 to the Yellow Panzies.

PW walked into the park ready to play right away but was quickly notified they were on a one hour delay. Considering the entire team is mostly a bunch of alcoholics there was nothing much more to do than to start drinking till game time. This was good for the fans of PW who got to bond and conversate with the stars of PW. PW loves their fans and any time they can sit down and drink a beer and get to know their fans they take advantage of it. Ryan Shelton takes extra advantage of it if they are hotties. For some reason those fans don’t come around after they meet the Ryan “Boats N Hoes” Sheltons. Yes the drinking came back to bite them in the ass at Game 2 as the entire team looked washed up and ready to be tucked in the bed by mommy.

PW’s lineup did not change much except for Brian Manning making his debut.

GAME 1

8:30 finally rolled around the PW took the field, with Mike Lemmink hobbling to the mound. Mike Lemmink came to the managers office early afternoon exclaiming he could not walk due to running with some Pig for 4 hours or so. Manager laughed at this excuse and not only did he get slaughter the pig for encouraging him to participate in another sport besides softball he was being force to play.

Prestige played very well the first game. They played solid defense and got runners on base. Matt Bailey continue his tear through the league going 3-4; a double, triple, and homerun. He scored 3 runs but ended up not getting player of the game because he did get once and did not get the single for the cycle.

Other players to stand out was the 4 hitter James Sims, he went 3-3 with two doubles.

Players to struggle were Marty Huber at short, who did fine at the plate, but struggled in the field with two errors that led to two unearned runs. Matt Ziegler went 1-3 and Gab Bailey also has found his touch at the plate yet and is hitting .364 for the year. Management is not concerned about Gab Bailey because he is such a high prospect and knows there is potential for greatness. It just seems his little brother has exploded at the plate a lot sooner. This may be due to Matt has nothing better to do all day right now.

PW ended up winning 19-5 going a combined 23-36 at the plate. Not too bad.

Player of the Game went to James Sims for his perfect performance at the plate.

GAME 2

Game 2 was a totally different story than Game 1. PW looked tired and drunk. Or probably past drunk. PW lost 13-14 taken the drama all the last inning but just did not have enough juice to get it done.

Things happen in this game that were unusual. Ryan Shelton struckout and had a costly error. Marty continued to struggle in the field and may get glasses. Brian Manning did not get a hit. Mike Lemmink pitched well but took a shot to the chest that may have taken the error out of the entire team. And Right Center Scott Biegler also had two errors in the field that were quite unusual.

Only bright spots were 3 players – Mike Lemmink continued to hit, Jeff Whitehouse came around and went 3-3 , and the surprise of the year Mark Ledonne is hitting the hell out of the ball batting .727 for the year (keep in mind who is keeping the stats HOOTS). PW’s 1B Turtle showed up but cried to management that he was having back spasms’ from his girlfriend Kari making him be on the top all night the night before.

The loss was tough and unexpected but Yellow Panzies took advantage of the errors to win. This will hopefully will wake up the Prestige Worldwide and they will be back to greatness in week 3 at 7:20 and 8:30.

Player of the Game 2 – Mike Lemmink – 3-4 and scored twice.

FAN OF THE NIGHT – KIRA would have won, but she hurt the 1B in bed so it goes to that’s right ASHLEY HOOTS HARDING. NOW SHUT UP about never being named fan of the game.

NEW SEASON; NEW NAME; NEW ATTITUDE

Prestige Worldwide wins BIG

 

Prestige Worldwide Softball Newsletter Edition 3.1

 

The weather had changed and Matt Bailey woke up and gazed out the window to see the sunshine. At the same time they notice skirt season had began. “Skirt Season!?” shouted Matt Bailey, “That means it’s softball time.” Matt opened that window and exclaimed to the Hyde Park Square, “WE ARE PRETISGE WORLDWIDE!!!”  Wildcat’s owner ironically was stalking one of those skirts down Hyde Park Square from which he recognize from a picture on facebook. At the moment Matt Bailey’s claim echoed around Hyde Park Square, the Wildcat’s owner insisted on changing the name of his team to . . .  yes . . .  Prestige Worldwide. Right then, a dynasty may have been formed.

 

Winter meetings were held and name change became official. Ownership and Board of Directors also did not want to have the same result of 2008 if they were to begin the P-DUB dynasty the right way. Change was needed. And Obama just was not doing enough for this team. Players were dropped, traded, and called up from the Farms:

 

Players to leave –

 

Chad Stockman - was traded to Kansas City Double Whoppers for a player to be discussed below and last we heard he was leading the league in most beers drank in 7 innings. P-Dub GM is keeping close eye on his performance in case of his return in future years.

 

Matt Munson – was released without reason, but it has been reported that he was seen sitting on a bucket in front of Great American Ballpark with a sign “Will work for food.” Later that same night he was found in line at the Drop Inn Center.

 

James Statler – James was on the official 2009 roster but at the last moment he was demoted due to a big trade the management made that involved Chad Stockman. Due to his demotion he retaliated and left the team on bad terms. It has been reported the two have reconciled and could be used as a sub if injury or if the swine flu broke out on the team.

Scott Goldschmidt - The pitcher of the Wildcats last year. Has dissapeared. Rumor has it he grew a beard and bombed his girlfriends house was arrested by the Feds and is serving his time in Guantanomo Bay

 

Added Players – The Rookies

 

James Sims – James made his Wildcat debut in 2007 for two games. Management believed this kid the most irrational ball player and let him go. James was so depressed he got hooked on drugs, sex, and alcohol in 2008. He tried to make comeback with another local team Kansas City Double Whoppers, but it just was not working out between him and the organization. A trade was demanded by Sims. Ironically P-Dub’s GM wanted Sims back and a trade was made and the Whoppers got Chad Stockman in exchange... P-Dub organization helped Sims get back on his feet and he is expected to be the everyday third baseman.

 

Gabriel Bailey – Gab is the brother of current LF Matt Bailey. Gab tried out every year for the team but never could make it through tryout due to hammiest. More on him as he is the player profile this week.

 

Jeff Whitehouse – John actually stumbled his way on the team by accident. He took so many shot with team members at a local bar that the team though he was “cute.” P-Dub players asked him if he wanted to cheerlead for the team with fellow wife of Mark Ledonne,

Ashley ‘Hoots” Ledonne. He agreed. Well to say the least the team felt bad he had listen to Ashley’s jaw move every two seconds that they asked him to play 1B. The rest is history and he is now on the official roster.

 

Brian Manning - Brian was picked up off waivers after begging that he wanted to be part of the tradition. He tasted what it’s like to be on Prestige Worldwide in 2008 for two games. He made a presentation to the Board saying, “I love softball, I love this team, the tradition, and I will do whatever it takes to play on this team in ‘09.” The Board was already going to put him on the team, but to amuse themselves they tied him up and hung him upside down from a tree and made him eat hotdogs hanging from a rope for 15 minutes. Each hot dog was simmered in cow poop. Asked later was it worth it, he replied, “Anything to be part of Prestige Worldwide.”

 

GAME 1

 

Prestige Worldwide’s roster may have changed but their pregame rituals of being late and drama seem to not. Hangovers were still usual and beer was drunk before the flip of the coin.

Prestige Worldwide was to play one of top teams from last year that had run ruled them twice. 1^st game had some low expectations.

Well, P-Dub won the coin toss and chose to be the Home team, but one problem arised. The pitcher Mike Lemmink was no where to be found. And as the ump yelled Play Ball Mike came printing in. It seemed as if his fame from last years escapades (jumping the catcher) had made him famous and the women, alcohol, and drugs were going to make a negative impact on the team. Just like Babe Ruth did for years Mike came through clutch to pitch a great game. Top of the fist started off a little shaky with an error in RF by Matt Ziegler, but manage to escape by only giving up 1 run.

In the middle of the 1^st the drama occurred. Matt Ziegler’s prized pit bull lived up to his reputation and tried to murder the ump and any other moving object within in his eyesight. King “the Pit Bull” was then slammed by Matt and taken to a holding cell for the night.

Season started off swell. Biegler and Shelton each got a hit and P-Dub put up 3 runs.

Marty Huber on the other hand began the season rough with his first career strikeout and along with that he let his lack of smartness get in the way when the ump told him that the bat was illegal because it had a hole in it. Yup, Marty looked for the whole and argued that it was not illegal. The ump just fooled Marty. And when it couldn’t get worse for him Marty could not make contact to save his life, by going up to the bat in bottom of third to manage to whiff at the fist pitch. Please note he did single in that at bat.

Besides that PW manage to surprise themselves to a run ruled VICTORY 15-4. Player of the game 1 went to Matt “T-Bone” Bailey who went 3-3 with 3 Runs, triple, and home run. Also players to note were MVP Ryan “Boats N Hoes” Shelton went 3-3 with 3 runs and a double.

Final Score was 15-4 in 5 innings Prestige Worldwide (1-0)

 

 

GAME 2

 

            PW’s expectations in game 2 were totally opposite than Game 1. PW was cocky and confident. They looked across the bench and saw the Rats of Indiana were there opponent. The shortstop played in jean shorts down to his ankle, white beater and his flat bill white cap cocked sideways.

Short Stop for the Rats of Indiana

 

For the rest of the team, they gazed into the corn fields and forgot they were playing a game of “stick ball.”

            First inning went quick as the only spot they could hit it was on the ground to the left side of the field. Top of the fist went quick with PW giving up 0 runs. In the bottom of the fist PW batted 12 and scored 6 runs.

            Top of 2^nd went just as quick as the 1^st where 3B James Sims and SS Marty Huber did most of the work. Mike Lemmink manages to even record his first strikeout of 2009 and he rudely gave a fist pump after that...

            Bottom of 2^nd had to be a record inning for PW organization. They scored 14 runs and batted 17 batters. Everybody 1-9 batted well. Newcomer Jeff Whitehouse was still a little hung-over did not manage to get a hit the entire night. After 2 innings it was 20-0. That is not a typo.

            PW completed the shut out and ended the game in the Top of 3^rd. The game ended by doosh bag # 1 of the Rats of Indiana trying to score on missed played throw by James Sims to Marty at 3rd. Mike Lemmink manage to get the ball and throw it to Mark Ledonne to tag him out and end the game. Game was over and PW’s batting practice game was over.

Player of the game 2 went to Scott Biegler who went 3-3, a double, and 3 runs; Matt Bailey also continued his tear of night going 3-3, triple, and 3 runs. For the night Matt Bailey went 6-6 and scored 4 times.

PLAYER PROFILE

 

GABRIEL BAILEY

 

 

 

JOB: I sell stuff; I like to sell stuff because selling stuff makes money. If I sell stuff I make more money to pay for my hammy injuries

 

College: Capital U – I  played football there and was a running back until I hurt my hammy, but then I got better and played football and then I hurt my hammy again.

 

Most outrageous moment of the weekend: My dog Rudy took it in the butt and liked it. WTF.

 

Relationship Status: happily married to Jenna and Rudy

 

Greatest moment in life: my brother moving into my place with my wife, Rudy, and me

 

Occupation: I told you I sell stuff, geez

 

Hobbies: Selling stuff and rehabbing from hammy injuries. I guess I am getting old huh with all these hammy injuries.

 

Greatest Asset to the team: my speed and persona. I am an all around player as long as I don’t pull that damn hammy.

 

Best Advice to give to a kid: Don’t pull a hammy.
