Baden-Beer-League-Baseball Champs

Baden Baseball has never seen a team win the Championship three years in a row... 2007 will certainly be a year to remember, as the young guns, formed about 10yrs ago (now more like the middle aged guns) retained the championship. We squeaked thru the semi by beating the BrewJays. In a 2 game format with a plus minus cummulative runs, we were up by 8 runs after the first game and nearly lost the second game by the difference. it was the bottom of the 9th and we were tied... we scored 4 runs and held them to two.

In the final we played against The Bandits, a team that slaughtered us throughout the season, but in the 1st of a 3 game series we played spoiler by beating them 30-6... they didn't even show up... and then last night swept the series by beating them 17-9. oh a sweet victory over our arch rivals.

"The beer taste's good anytime, but that much better after a win", says our captain Paul, also known as Cito after the championship win.

Renos, Renos... Renos

Since I started a new job at Minnow Environmental we bought a character house on 52 Morris St, complete with a litter of 5 kittens (one named gulliver, that is now a part of our family). 52 Morris was a private deal thru the property guys, sold by Gino Marcone, son of Anthony, heir of the 52 Morris Estate, and transferred (possessed) on May 24 by S and R.

Since then ,we have been consumed by renovations... and have managed to work in sarah's graduational from her MSW, subsequent employment in Guelph and an amazing celebration of commitment to one another (also known as a wedding check out williambleick.com on June 9, 2007. Followed by work adventures to Nunavut and N. On. and more Renos.

Despite our busy lives, we managed to meet our Sept 1 deadline and have since completed Apartment B renos and found tenants... and will now complete our apartment (A), without strict deadlines but before the end of October...

We could go on in great detail describing the other parts of our lives and plan on posting our before and after photos of Apt B shortly.
