2009 Season Notes
It's almost that time of year again! The Bonediddlies will be taking the field at Graf Park Field #5 for a third straight year! This almost wasn't the case actually, though.
The schedule came out about a week ago, and the official announcement was that the 16 inch league had relocated to Atten 20. This made most of the league very unhappy, including the Bonediddlies. Graf Park has a very historic feel to it, and by moving to Atten Park, Wheaton's main facility for recreation, the league could have lost some luster. Also, with opening day planned for May 4th, over half of the starting lineup would not have been able to make it.
Thank goodness that both of the problems were resolved. After some debate, the league date was pushed back, but more importantly, Graf Park #5 was deemed playable for the season. After last year's 3 week delay with the lights and weather, the season will be starting early this year for the team, but that's a good thing because rainouts are expected. Opening night will be on May 11th!
The schedule also features something new: scheduled doubleheaders! This is exciting news, and all the men in the league just love the game, especially the Bonediddlies. The Bones will have their doubleheaders on June 1st and on June 15th, respectively.
The league features 7 teams this year, with 2 new squads. After a dismal year, Lafond, the worst team in Wheaton history, decided not to field a team this year. Also, Still Kickin', the main rival of the Bonediddlies the past 2 years, is not fielding a team this year. It's possible that they have made ownership changes, but no one is quite sure. The two new teams, are Armbrust and Hoxie. It's a bit confusing, because Armbrust actually was on Fedyski last year, but those developments will play out as the season goes on.
As for the Bonediddlies this season, there was not alot of offseason activity. Actually, there were no roster moves made.
The minor league system has been replenished and is going strong, and will be lead by players such as Valente Garza, Mike Eversole, and Joe Sengel. Various other Bones could be called up along the way.
As for the big club, they look to be running out a very similar lineup to last year. After a 2nd place finish in the league last year, the Bones didn't want to change the lineup at all. They really did have a team that could, and should have won it all. This season, the team is going to try and eliminate the mental errors, and hopefully hoist the Dan Novak Memorial Trophy.
(Note: Dan Novak is no longer the comissioner of the league. It's unclear whether he resigned or was forced out. He did an awful job though with scheduling the past 2 seasons.)
The opening day lineup is still being formulated, but the positions/players on this list are very probable. This is NOT a batting order.

3B Mike Schmidt #
OF Evan Mielke !

As you can see, the lineup is missing a rover and a 2nd basemen. Trent Sharar-Stoppel and Jon Kinsey will be finishing up their semesters on the May 11th date. Jon Kinsey could also miss 2 additional games, so the Bones will be looking at their minor league system for some help. A source close to the team says Kyle Martin, a fantastic outfielder, has been contacted about a possible callup. This move, if made, would move one of the Bones outfielders, to a 2nd basemen. These situations will be handled by management, and we will let you know of the decisions as soon as we hear.
More to come later, stay tuned, GO DIDDLIES!

Schedule
Hey guys!
Just got a copy of the schedule, and for some reason it is not letting me post! I have paper copies to give to everyone. The first two weeks, games are at 6:15 pm, MAY 4th and 11th. I know that a handful of you will not be able to be there, so let me know if you are one of those unfortunate few who will still be stuck in the world of academia!
On a sad note, we will no longer be playing at Graf Park Field 5. The league has been moved to Atten Park Field 20. This is what we like to call in the business, horseshit! See you guys soon!
I will post the schedule later! There are 7 teams in the league this year. We have a doubleheader on June 15th!!!
