Moving on to the Championship pitted the Gnats against their nemesis the Giants - the only team to defeat the Gnats in regular season play.  Putting up solid numbers with top notch hitting on both sides made for a high scoring game as both sides couldn't find the groove to keep each other at bay.  In the end, the Gnats weould close out the season in 2nd place in a 23-18 loss.  Little Dude played solid defense at third along with a 2/3 w/ 1 RUN 1 RBI at the plate.

       During the end of the season ceremony Little Dude's coach said, "You know some kids come out here to have fun but not Alex!  He's out here to win boy!  To him baseball is more - it's in his blood!"  (For the record, the Cyber Kid was NOT tearing up.  There must have been onions nearby?! :o)  

Little Dude leaps clear after putting out a Bomber in the Game 9 semi-finals!

Alex nabs a grounder before sending another batter to the bench!

       The Variants follows the zany adventures of comic shop proprietor, Richard and his loyal band of store employees, Barry, Kelli, Joe and the elusive Vlad as the (mostly) quartet find themselves in the most precarious of situations. 

       "There was always threats of working me, and The Beast, into an episode on the show and when scripting called for an officer for the Season 2 opener; I was offered the part!  It was pretty cool!"  So on an overcast, damp, chilly day, the Cyber Kid's acting debut was realized.

The Cyber Kid on set with Richard Neal and "The Beast"

       "Yup. Just left a fairly un-productive meeting with the Kid - typical; but, we did lock down some new strategies and ideas for the organization.  Once in a while you have to set aside your differences and just roll with it!  I mean come on we all know the guy, even with the major switch to decaf, he's still goin' like 1000 miles an hour!" Mark Avocado told reporters at the site of the meeting!  When asked if he any more to say, Mark added -"Sure!  Buy gold and stockpile weapons!  The FUBARS are coming you know!?" 

       When the Cyber Kid was finally tracked down back in the Central US and asked about the details of the meeting with FUBAR Championship pitcher and Hall of Famer Mark Avo, he was quoted as saying, "Well talks got heated at times but Mark sees my point of view.  There's major changes coming to the FUBAR organization and it's Upper Management structure.  It's a necessary evil but, if we plan to take this Mega-Pire into the 2nd decade of the 21st century, it's time we make changes!"  When asked if one of the changes would be his resignation from the organization al he added was; "What!  No F****** Way!"  After which he reportedly grabbed a random pedestrian and repeatedly the reporter of such a stupid question!  Stay tuned to this developing story!

The Cyber Kid and Armadillo comin' at ya!
