Rob Roll Still At Jones Beach
According to officials from Jones Beach, Rob Roll, starting pitcher for the Gamers, has still not yet left the East Field at Jones Beach despite the fact that his game ended 4 days ago.
Apparently, Roll, who drew the ire of Game Face on Sunday when he took upwards of twenty seconds to deliver a pitch has refused to leave the field as a matter of principle.
"Just like I told those clowns on Game Face, I'm in no rush," said Roll while being interviewed on his cell phone. "I can take as long as I want to leave. There's no time limit. There's nothing in the rules that says I have to leave."
Eyewitnesses claim that they saw Roll act as if he was going to leave on several occassions. They said that he would open his car door, then close it, then fake like he was going to open it four or five times, before finally opening it. He would then drive forward a few feet before going in reverse, repeating that process several times.
Despite the fact that beach officials were screaming at him to hurry up and go him Roll has not yet been deterred from making his point. "If they don't like it they should do something about it," he asserted.
"That's one stubborn SOB," lifeguard Mike McKenzie said. "He really needs to make up his mind already."

Gamers Sweep Double Header In Controversial Fashion
Long Beach, NY -
Well the media was right. It was indeed the "Bash at the Beach". Although that had little to do with the action on the field. With the Gamers (3-1) comfortably ahead in the second game by a score of 12-4 going into the top of the 5th inning tempers started to flare when the first baseman on the other team, upset at how long it was taking Rob to pitch, starting talking shit to Jimmy. It didn't take long for the benches to empty but luckily an all out brawl was averted. However, due to that altercation Game Face refused to continue playing and forfeited the game.
The altercation was reminscient of that scene in Mighty Ducks 2 when Team USA goes face to face against Iceland during a practice session. It is now almost inevitable that these two teams will meet again in the championship game. And when that happens the Gamers will be boosted by the confidence they gained during this impressive sweep.
In the first game they used their 2 home run limit to perfection cashing in three run homeruns from Jon Zafonte and Greg Roll. Zafonte's blast was a huge hit tying up the score after three innings. From there it was a classic back and forth contest. Game Face went ahead after scoring 5 runs in the fourth and 2 more in the fifth but the Gamers answered with 6 in the fourth and 3 in the sixth to go ahead for good. Jimmy Dundon came on to pitch the seventh innnig for his first save of the season.
In addition to the homeruns from Zafonte and Greg Roll the Gamers also received big offensive performances from Rob Roll and Adam Goldberg who added three hits a piece and from the newly acquired Seth Koslow who went 2 for 3 with a big 2 run single in his first at bat. The bottom of the lineup also came up big with Craig Shames, Dave Roll, and Eric Dundon scoring 2 runs each. Defensively, they overcome a tough sun field to make the big plays when they counted. Dave Roll had the play of the game when he used his man boob to help him make a catch.
In the second game, the Gamers blew the game open with a ten run outburst in the second inning aided by 6 walks to the bottom half of the lineup. After Rob singled, Zafonte and Goldberg hit back to back triples to put an exclamation mark on the rally. In fact, they might have kept scoring but Scott Zimmerman was thrown out at third base trying to stretch a double into a triple. Defensively they were led by Zafonte who made a great play getting their captain picked off of third base after a ground out.
All in all, it was an impressive week for the Gamers as they showed a lot of fight both literally and figuratively against the defending league champions. In what amounted to a statement game the Gamers made a very big one. The rest of the league must take notice now.

Week 2 Preview: Bash at the Beach
Jones Beach, NY -
In what could be a playoff preview, the newly re-established Gamers (1-1), will take on two time defending league champion Game Face (2-0) in what the media is dubbing as the Bash at the Beach.
It will be a key early season test for both teams but especially for the Gamers who are hoping to use this matchup to make a big statement. "We need to have a good showing against Game Face not just for our own confidence but also to let the rest of the league know that there is a new force to be reckoned with," manager Craig Shames stated.
Those sentiments were echoed by boisterous centerfielder Scott Zimmerman who in less eloquent terms said, "it's time to nut up or shut up."
After playing last week with just nine players the Gamers should be back at full strength this week as outfielder Brian Malfettone returns to the team. They will also be boosted by the debut of star slugger Seth Koslow.
While the outcome is still undecided one thing is for sure. It's going to be a hard fought back and forth battle that neither team will soon forget. The battle lines have been drawn in the sand. It's time for the Gamers to find out what they're made of.

Game Preview
Here's a look at this week's matchup as the Gamers take on Game Face in a huge early season matchup.
Field Conditions
The game will be held at Jones Beach East a well groomed fenced in park that is notoriously windy since it's located right near the ocean. It's Long Island's answer to Candlestick Park. Early in the morning you might also experience hazy conditions that could make it hard to see the ball. The conditions won't favor one team over the other although a homerun limit could be an advantage for the Gamers since Game Face is known for their power.
Weather Report
Sunny mid to upper 60's at game time. No rain. Should be a great day for some softball.
Scouting Report
Game Face is the pre season favorite to win it all in our division. They dominated last week outscoring their oponents by 20 runs in two impressive blowout victories. They have a lot of power hitters who tend to hit the ball to centerfield. They don't have a lot of team speed but they are agressive on the basepaths looking to take the extra base whenever they can. It will be imperative to get the ball in quick from the outfield and cut down on the number of errors made.
Projected Lineup
After scoring 30 runs last week the Gamer's patented ABABA lineup will be back.
*Subject to change
1. Rob Roll - P
2. Adam Goldberg - SS
3. Jon Zafonte - 1B
4. Greg Roll - LF
5. Seth Koslow - 3B
6. Brian Malfettone - DH
7. Scott Zimmerman - LCF
8. Craig Shames - 2B
9. Dave Roll - RCF
10. Jeremy Webman - C
11. Eric Dundon - RF

Kanye West Upstages Post Game Press Conference
In an unexpected turn of events, musician Kanye West emerged from the crowd last night during the Gamers post game press conference and stole the microphone from Jon Zafonte just as he was accepting his award for play of the game. West then shocked the crowd when he declared that Greg Roll really should have won the award.
"No disrespect to you Jon but Greg really should have won this award. His diving catch in the 6th inning of the second game was one of the greatest catches of all time. One of the greatest catches of all time! It doesn't matter that he made 27 errors before that. That catch was sick."
Zafonte was obviously taken back by what transpired. After West gave him back the microphone he was speechless. When approached by reporters after the press conference he commented, "at first I was really excited that Kanye was here, but then after he spoke I wasn't that excited anymore."
Kanye's outburst was understandably met with outrage from those watching the press conference. "Kanye is the biggest d-bag out there," Gamers fan Danielle Paviny said. Vicki Kind added, "how selfish do you have to be to upstage someone else's big moment? What a dick."
Zafonte was being honored for his inside the park homerun in the second game. West could not be reached for comment but representatives from MTV insist that unlike Eminem's staged walkout last year this outburst was legitimate.

Shorthanded Gamers Just Miss Out On Sweep
Hicksville, NY -
After a two year hiatus the Gamers returned to live game action when they took on "Just The Tip" at Cantiague Park in Hicksville and in game one it looked like they had never left. Game two, however, was an entirely different story.
In the first game the Gamers looked like they were in mid season form with Scott Zimmerman making a sliding catch in the first inning to set the tone. Later in the game rightfielder Dave Roll made a perfect one hop throw to second base to throw out a runner. Not to be out done leftfielder Eric Dundon also nailed a runner trying to get to second base.
The Gamers combined those great defensive plays with timely hitting as they pounded out 28 hits in an impressive 19-12 victory. Offensively, the Gamers were led by new third baseman Adam Goldberg who drove in 7 runs highlighted by a grandslam in the third inning that broke the game open. Another new addition to the team, first baseman Jon Zafonte had a perfect game going 5 for 5 with 4 rbis. With table setters Rob Roll and Craig Shames getting on base a combined ten times there were plenty of opportunities for Goldberg and Zafonte to drive runners in.
On the other hand the Gamers struggled offensively and defensively in the second game as playing with only 9 fielders seemed to catch up with them on what turned out to be a hot day. Despite that they still had a four run lead going into the 7th inning thanks to a grand slam from Greg Roll and an inside the park homerun from Zafonte but 3 errors in the inning lead to an 8 run outburst for Just The Tip. They did manage to rally impressively in the bottom of the 7th inning scoring three times but their rally fell short when Rob Roll flew out and then Craig Shames popped up to end the game.
Despite the disappointment of losing a game that they easily could have won it was still an impressive day for the Gamers as they were able to pull out a shorthanded victory in game one. If they continue to play the way that they did in game one they should be a force to be reckoned with this season.

Week One Preview: The Gamers Are Back!!!
Hicksville, NY -
After a two year hiatus, the Gamers, Long Island's premiere softball team, will be returning to live game action when they take on "Just The Tip" on Field D at Cantiague Park in Hicksville.
The game was originally scheduled to take place at Stokes Elementary School in Levittown but officials from ABA decided to move the game to Cantiague Park in order to accomodate the record setting crowd that is expected on hand to witness the Gamers return.
Four original members of the team will be on hand including star outfielder Dave Roll who will be ending his two year self imposed softball strike as he hasn't played in a single softball game since the Gamers last took the field. Obviously a hunger strike was never an option.
Expectations are running high for the Gamers this season especially after news late Friday night that they had signed Jimmy and Eric Dundon at the last minute to provide some extra pop in the lineup. However, enthusiam should be tempered since Jimmy will not be in the lineup this week since he could not complete his physical in time.
Also out of the lineup will be slugging 1B Seth Koslow, outfielder Brian Malfettone and infielder Tom McGrath who might be out for a while with a back injury. Despite those key losses the Gamers lineup will still be stacked from top to bottom including the long awaiting debuts for star shortstop Adam Goldberg, third baseman Danny Ballestas and first baseman Jon Zafonte.
The outcome of these games are far from being determined but one thing is for sure. The Gamers are back!!!

Game Preview
Here's a look at this week's matchup as the Gamers take on Just The Tip in the first games of the season:
Field Conditions
The game was moved by ABA at the last minute to Cantiague Park in Hicksville. This is a significant field upgrade as the game goes from being played on an elementary school field with a concrete obstruction in right field to a fenced in field with a well manicured infield. With really short fences in right and right center there may be a homerun limit imposed by the umpire prior to the game. In all likelihood balls hit over the rightfield fence will be called as doubles. This probably won't affect the Gamers since they do not have a lefthanded homerun threat in the lineup.
Weather Report
Game time conditions should be partly cloudly with temperatures in the upper 70's to low 80's. However, since it rained significantly on Friday and Saturday the field conditions are expected to be affected considerably. Expect a slick outfield and slow track on the infield that could make baserunning an adventure. That's if the game is not called due to poor conditions.
Projected Lineup
Here is a look at the projected lineup for the Gamers in game one.

1. Rob Roll - P
2. Craig Shames - 2B

Breaking News: Game Time and Location Changed
Our game on Sunday has been moved. It is no longer at 11:30 at Stokes Elementary in Levittown.

Breaking News: Gamers Sign Dundons
Pending physicals the Gamers have reached a preliminary agreement with prized free agent slugger Jimmy Dundon. The deal is also expected to include a provision that would allow Jimmy's son Eric to play as well. Terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed but it is believed to be a substantial offer that would "break the bank".
It would have to be considering that Dundon was highly sought after by "Darkside" one of the nation's top co-ed teams. Dundon who just spent the summer travelling the nation competing in tournaments is expected to be a DH/Pitcher for the Gamers while Eric will likely get the majority of his playing time in the outfield.
This signing is a coup for the Gamers who desperately needed another pitcher with projected opening day starter Rob Roll banged up with a severe knee injury. With the Dundons in the fold the Gamers are unquestionably the team to beat now.

Breaking News: Rob Roll To Play Through Pain
You can question his pitch selection, taste in women, and general disposition towards life but there is no questioning his toughness. Rob Roll, the consensus #1 overall pick in the ABA fantasy draft, has stated his intentions to play through a severe knee injury that will likely require off season surgery that he will invariably put off for several more years.
Roll, who injured his knee while playing in a softball tournament this summer, and then proceeded to make it worse by playing in 76 more tournaments, plans on pitching for the Gamers to alleviate the stress on the knee. Considering that you have to bend at the knee in order to pitch probably not the best of ideas but then again this is Rob Roll we are talking about.
Gamer's fans get used to seeing this sight: Rob Roll with an ice pack on his knee

Player Profile: Seth Koslow
Power hitting third baseman Seth Koslow doesn't just know his way around the hot corner. He also knows his way around a hot plate. Hey Food Network, you can stop the search for the Next Food Network Star. We already know who it is. And it's not that annoying, perky bitch. It's the one and only Seth Koslow.
Koslow, the Gamer's prized free agent acquistion, is a big time slugger who still resides as Meadow School's all time kickball HR leader. His prestigious power will fit nicely right into the middle of the Gamers lineup. However, that's not the only reason he was asked to be on the team.
The other reason, rather, the real reason is that he's one hell of a cook. The man can flat out grill. He even plans to open up his own restaurant one day called the "Why You All Up In My Grill and Bar".
Until then he will be spending his time as the official chef of the Gamers. Hopefully, he can cook up a few extra wins for them this year and be the missing ingredient in their championship stew. (And yes there will be more corny cooking references throughout the season)
Be sure to check out Seth's tv debut this Sunday when he appears on the season finale of Grill It With Bobby Flay at 10:30 am on the Food Network.
Both of these guys can cook but only one can hit 400 foot bombs.

Player Profile: Greg Roll
His smooth, effortless swing has been credited with ending the Cold War, lowering the crime rate in New York City, and most recently preventing a swine flu epidemic. Some have said that watching him play softball is like witnessing the birth of Jesus. When he slumps the entire world slumps as witnessed by the global economic crisis.
Birds sit on his window sill and sing to him when he wakes up. School children bring him apples. The Dos Equis most interesting man in the world finds him interesting.
Who is he you ask? He is none other than Greg Roll aka the greatest softball player in the history of mankind. And if you don't believe me just ask him. As a matter of fact ask CNN's Money Magazine. They recently named Baldwin the 25th best place to live in America and it is believed that was largely in part because Greg Roll resides there.
If there is a better softball player, no, better human being on the face of Earth he has yet to come forward. There is Greg Roll and then there is everyone else. There is even a Greg Roll movie set to come out in the Fall entitled "That's How I Roll" with Steve-O cast to play the lead.
ABA is even considering an amendment to league rules that would allow Greg to field a team all by himself. Currently a team must play with at least 8 fielders at all times. This amendment would allow Greg to showcase his extraordinary talents including his blazing speed that makes Usain Bolt look like he's running in slow motion.
The Gamers are truly lucky to have this once in a lifetime talent on their roster.
Please send fan mail for Greg to:

I was under no duress whatsoever while writing this article. Greg did not pay me to write this or put me up to this in any way, shape or form. Everything I said in this article is 100% true.
Greg is so good at Softball that MLB is using him to promote their latest video game.
Birds sit on his window sill and sing to him when he wakes up. School children bring him apples. The Dos Equis most interesting man in the world finds him interesting.
Who is he you ask? He is none other than Greg Roll aka the greatest softball player in the history of mankind. And if you don't believe me just ask him. As a matter of fact ask CNN's Money Magazine. They recently named Baldwin the 25th best place to live in America and it is believed that was largely in part because Greg Roll resides there.

Team Apparel
If you haven't already done so please let me know what jersey size and uniform # you want. Jerseys tend to run small so ask for one size larger than what you would normally get.
If you'd like to order any additional apparel please check out: www.tyjasports.com and then let Rob know what you'd like to order.
