Cakes Do Not Rise

Newton, MA--The Buttermilk Five struggled to find their offense in the second round of the BWCS playoffs and lost 9-2 to the Big Sticks at Daly Field.

The Pancakes (9-5) left the bases loaded in the first inning and pushed two runs across in the 2nd frame, but couldn't muster anymore firepower as the Sticks (10-3) cruised into the next round.

The BM5 held the Sticks Bats until the 6th when some doushebag cleared the bases with a long fly ball to left.

BM5 Skipper, Chris Hogan said, "It was a frustrating night, but a great season. Nine wins is nine more wins than anybody expected us to have. Now, I'm going on vacation."

Rumors of a postseason Barbecue are already swirling. Hogan is contemplating ribs or chicken. Jon Mian has requested smoked boa constrictor.

The Buttermilkers advanced further than any other BM5 team of the modern era and the future looks bright, assuming Drew Morin can get some cleats and less games are scheduled in the Dedham Triangle.

BM5 Plays Short

The Buttermilk Five roster was short in the playoffs due to vacationing Mians, unlucky hornet stings, and a cast of the butterflies

Cory and Nick Mian are somewhere in Colorado.  Brent Knapp's right foot is swollen thanks to a Vermont Hornet who thought he was tresspassing.  And, Melissa Farrell just didn't feel good.

Jon Mian filled in admirably in the leadoff spot.  Jesse Mian filled in for the rocky mountain bound Nick and Cory.  And, Farrell is hoping to return for round 2 of the storied BWCS Postseason.

Pancakes Eat Up Heroes

Dedham, MA--The sky was ominous and the air was moist as the Pancakes kicked off the 2009 Postseason against #18 seed Kelly's Heroes at Connell Field.

BM5 leadoff man, Jon Mian said, "the sky was ominous and the air was moist".  

Mian led off the bottom half of the first inning with line drive single and seemed like he was running around the bases all night.  

Despite some defensive lapses in the 5th inning, the Pancakes (9-4) had enough of a cushion to keep the Heroes (7-6) at bay, finishing the deal 15-12.

The Buttermilk offense was powered by Justin Adams, Drew Morin, Jamie Lavin and Mona "Can I Buy a Vowel" Saltalamachia.  

Outstanding defense was turned in by Lynne "Leather" Wilson and Morin.

The game was over when Brian Duncan barehanded a slow roller and threw a seed to first to nail the runner for the final out.  Duncan promptly ripped his shirt off and screamed, "FREEDOM!!!".

The Hotcakes will advance to the 2nd round where they will be matched up with the 9-3 Big Stix at a field and time to be determined.  Both teams played earlier in the season with the BM5 stealing a 14-13 win.

Playoffs?!?! Playoffs?!?!?

The Boston West Coed Softball C Division Playoffs (TBWCSCDP) will be set later tonight.  The Buttermilk Five will participate in the 18 team tournament at a field somewhere at sometime in less than 24 hours.  

In typical league fashion, all details are unknown and all BM5 players are on call.  In the case of a late notice for game time scheduling, all Buttermilkers will look to the sky for the team logo that will be seen in the southern sky.  

BM5 Blanked by Brew Crew

Dedham, MA--The Buttermilk Five returned to their home away from home at Connell Field on Friday night, but home cooking could not help drum up any offense as the Pancakes were shutout 12-0 by the first place Brew Crew.

The Buttermilk bats were quiet all night and only mustered 5 hits.  Even with the loss, the Hotcakes are sitting in the 12 spot for the 18-team tournament that is the Boston West C Division Playoffs.

With the final regular season game not needed for post season qualification, the pancakes are awaiting their first round matchup.

Team Skipper, Chris Hogan said, "I hope we have more than 5 hits in our next fucking game.  Seriously, 5 fucking hits?"

Buttermilk Five Breaks Modern Day Record

With a 13-2 triumph over Dizzy Buddha on Tuesday, August 4th, 2009, The Buttermilk Five broke a modern day team record for Total Wins in a Season with 7.  With one regular season game remaining, the Pancakers can add to that total.

Justin Adams, the tallest corner outfielder on the team, said, "7 wins is pretty good.  In fact, 7 wins this year would be great for the Wisconsin Badgers Football Team."  How the mighty have fallen.  Lets just say Bret Bielema still has to pay for his own drinks when he goes out in Madison.  

The BM5 will try to break their own record Friday night at 8pm against the 10-1 Brew Crew

Cardiac Cakes Sweep Doubleheader

Dedham, MA--The Buttermilk Five continued their run for the roses sweeping a twin-bill from the B.I. Ballers and Dizzy Buddha at Connell Field.

In the first contest, the BM5 (6-3) found themselves in an early 4-0 hole, but chipped away early and laid it on thick late.  The Ballers (3-7) had an answer for most of the game, but couldn't rally as the cakes took a 7 run lead into the final frame and held on for a 17-12 demolition.  

Brian "Ladies Love" Duncan locked down the final out and pumped his fist with authority and then walked gingerly to home plate to shake hands with his opponents like a good sportsman.  Ladies Love Brian Duncan.

A Sweaty and Tired Pancake team took the field for the 2nd half of the night against Dizzy Buddha.  The Buddha bats (5-5) kept the BM5 on their toes, but couldn't push anything across the plate before the Home Hotcakes.  A quick 4 spot went up for America's Team and they kept the line moving at the dish.  

The Buttermilkers (7-3) were consistent and focused, not to mention even sweatier, and kept turning the screws.  The game ended when Justin Adams crossed home plate in the 6th rendering the mercy rule 13-2.

The BM5 is sitting in a good spot around the #13 seed for the 18 team tournament.  They host the first place Brew Crew Friday night back at Connell Field in Dedham
