Part 4

It was a sad day when he and Negrych left the team to move on up to Altoona; also one that signaled an end to the playoff race with the little offense that remained on the team. There was also Brian Friday and Eddie Prasch who both had good averages, both scored a lot of runs, and both were quit in their solid production. And, finally, we had awesome luck with our catchers this year. First, there was Steve Lerud who had eight homers and forty RBI and hit a very nice .256 in the first half of the season. Once he left, we plugged in Kris Watts who ended up with four homers and forty RBI and seemed like he hit a double every other at-bat. And to back them all up, there was Chris Jones who batted .253 and also added two deep shots to his resume. So, as you can see, the O was there, just maybe not consistently enough. But if you really wanted to point out where we went wrong, look no further than the month of May where we lost fifteen of eighteen at one point and almost completely took us out of first-half playoff contention. To find out where we blew it in the second half, I would point out the eleven straight losses in the end of July/beginning of August. But everything happens for a reason, and with a couple of years since our last playoff birth, next years team will look to return the Cats to the dominance that we are accustom to seeing in the Hill City. See you in the 09!
