[What happened]

how come Alvinston is second? didn't they have a game with Morpeth?(rainout/makeup)

I see by the standings in the league website that they only played 29 games. if they beat Morpeth, there would of been a tie with St thomas and a tie breaker.

I heard they were not allowed to play it and they (league)automatically gave St Thomas first.

I see by the above post that this must of been true?

Any of the league executive care to explain? This is not a good way to run a league! looks bush!

There must be a story behind it. Care to explain?

[make up games]

the game was rained out and the league wanted all the rain out games made up by a certain date, and there was no more time to get those games in. I am suprised that it wasn't called a forfeit, Alvinston already got one of those in there favour (July 14, B.S.) So they (Alvinston) is in the right spot by being in second.

[rainouts]

I disagree , Morpeth was the home team, why would this not have been rescheduled along time ago, this rainout is from May 11th. Also since these 2 teams did play again June 9th in Morpeth why was that game not a DH? I thought the league had a time frame as to when games need to be rescheduled, or the next game IS to be a DH? If anything this game should be replayed and a tiebreaker should be played. I would not want to win the Reg Season Crown that way by losing my last 3 games and backing into it. Unfortuate thing was this game was gonna be played and they had rain again but there is no excuse to why Morpeth did not find diamond time and reschedule this along time ago as it is their responsibility. Ben must not been around I guess. The league scheduler should have stepped in and made the June 9th game a DH. Gets better he plays for Alvinston so he should have known better. It sucks to see the season end like that, but to blame the 2 teams altogether is not fair the league execs and especially the scheduler should share the blame. This is a re-ocurring issue year after year and there are rules and fines in place , they should be used maybe teams would get it together and get these games made up..

[game 1]

who won last night blenheim and belmont?

[What a failure]

Bottom line on the make up games for Morpeth and Alvinston / Shedden , is that Morpeth (the home team)had a responsibility to make up those games and the league should of done a better job in making sure that they got played.
I am sure St Thomas would of like to win the league in a different way.(unless Alvinston beat them in a playoff, of course?)
But I am sure that Alvinston and Shedden did all they could to get in all of their games .
By the way,wasn't it Morpeth's home games that didn't get played , so they must of been the one's who forfieted with Alvinston(july 14).

All I am saying is ....the league should of stepped in and got it done! They failed!!

As a player and fan of this league, this was done wrong and even if there was a time issue (ISC's, Canadian's , etc) , it should of been handled better and the games should of been played!

[rules are rules]

I disagree, I heard that at 2 meetingsit was said that all games had to be done by a certain date and this was STRESSED repeatedly. May be it was Morpeth's fault, but it seemed that other teams made up their rain outs as quickly as possible, not leaving them until the last week. St. Thomas, I believe, even used another park for a home game to get them in. No excuses for the rest of the league! Too bad the games were not made up earlier, because if Alvinston wins that game a one game showdown would of been terrific.

[Makes a lot of sense lol]

rules are rules?

How did Glencoe and Aylmer play a makeup game after the deadline last year to decide between the 2 teams who would get home field in the first round as they were playing each other. This went on after the Shedden vs Alvinston 1st round was half over. lol.. If they can play a game that decides 4th place , then why the heck would you not play this game to see who the 1st place team is. Makes a lot of sense.

[Why not]

Since we can all see by the schedule that the Shedden vs Glencoe series has only scheduled one game this week, why would you not just let everyone do that so that you could decide 1st place the proper way. Christ the other first round series could be done this week while the Shedden vs Glencoe are only playing one.

Seems to be if there were other certain teams in Alvinstons boots, (we all know there is a hatred for them) they would have been given different treatment, as we have seen in in years past.. even last year.

[Stupid]

Good Points.

Would it not be beneficial for the league, especially for the fans to see a first place showdown? Seems to me this is all a cop-out.

As a former player and fan, I am very dissappointed that this is happening, when it seems to me that there is time going by the above post.

[ISSUES]

Blenheim won 2-1 last night. Tonights game was postponed due to a lack of umpires. If Alvinston and Morpeth were able to make up the game, and Belmont and Blenheim played tonight Belmont could be eliminated before the regular season is officially over. Does that make any sense at all. If Alvinston and Morpeth were able to make up the game then Belmont has a legitimate beef to restart the series with Blenheim. I am pretty sure the constitution says the regular season needs to be officially over before the playoffs begin. Could be a whole new bag of issues. What a mess.

[True but]

Shedden was almost eliminated when Glencoe and Blenheim played a make up game last year. So it has happened before...

[tooooo late]

Fastball playoff game tonight


Thursday August 10, 2006

Morpeth visits Alvinston Indians tonight for the first game of their St. Thomas District Fastball League playoff series. The game starts at 8 p.m.
See Friday's Times-Journal for complete results.

[Ya]

Ya we know its too late, just a stupid way to end a otherwise great season with a great race at the end. Who does not finish their reg season when there is a battle for first place? Though the STDMFL was supposed to be one of the best? Judging by this it is not ran that way..

[Q]

How does this affect the Hillsburgh Berth? Would St.THomas even take it, as I know they have a few ISC guys.
