The Full Moon Playoff Round 1

Under the full moon in pisces, the Field of Dreamers assembled for the start of the 4th playoff tournament in league history. With the weather perfect for ball, the Don River Don Don Revolution stepped onto the field hoping to punch their dance card to face the top seeded Rouge River Rainbow Rebellion. Meanwhile, the Humber River Habaneros were looking to catch fire and run their way through the playoffs. In the night cap, the Credit River Cuties were hoping to catwalk their way to the Gold Medal Game, but standing in their way was the Garrison Creek Gargoyles, who have stood tall all season long.

A special cosmic message from our very wonderful vibe commissioner, Annelies Cooper!

Hello dear Dreamers!

As a ‘Vibe Commissioner’ I’m sending a message to remind you all that even as we enter the playoffs, our primary commitments in this league are to the spirit of community, inclusivity, cooperation, growth and creating an affirmative, supportive and encouraging space to play and enjoy the sport. Playoffs can amplify competitiveness and our desires for certain outcomes of games can sometimes start to overshadow these other commitments. So, this is just a friendly reminder to keep these desires in the balance with our leagues’ guiding principles, which Craig circulated earlier this week. Please respect the calls of umpires, and if there is conflict, let your captains and umpires manage it. If you have any issues feel free to talk to your captain, myself, or any other member of the Coordinating Committee.

ON TO THE PLAYOFFS!

The last week of the regular season snuck up on us so quickly that we missed two full weeks of baseball updates! But not to fret, because the post-game recaps are back just in time for the autumnal equinox. With the threat of rain in the forecast, the dreamers wished and hoped for some good fortune that was grateful granted by the cosmos and the dreamers took the field for two key final matchups.

The first game featured the gleaming Gargoyles of House Garrison who sought to punch their ticket to a first round bye in the playoffs, but standing in their way were the resurgent Rainbow Rebellion of House Rouge who were hoping for a second consecutive regular season as the sprinkle on top of the Field of Dreamer cupcake! In the second game, the dungeon dweller Don Don Revolution of House Don were trying to spoil the prom for the crowd-pleaser Cuties of House Credit. Who would emerge as top of the pops? Well….

DIAMONDS OF GEMS

On a beautiful summer day, the Field of Dreamers took to the field to celebrate the annual Pride Game! Fans lined the stands awaiting with bated breath two games that wouldn’t disappoint. Fianna Dirks brought their entire fall collection with at least five incredible wardrobe changes, Victoria Barnett and Lucky Visvanathan sparkled in matching glittery finery, the Jarl of Dufferin came adorned in a cute ensemble of teal shorts, lavender top, and teal/lavender cap, and the crowd filled up in a celebratory mood.

But there were, indeed, games to be played, and the question on everyone’s minds was , of course, who would be the belles of the ball! Would the Humber River Habeneros spice up your life or would the Credit River Cuties upstage the contestants of the Great British BakeOff with their ooey gooey sweetness? As night fell and the half moon peaked from beyond the outfield trees, the crowd turned their attention to the Don Don Revolution’s attempt to go up tempo and strut over Garrison Creek, while the Gargoyles made it clear who they thought would be striking the final pose!

DOG DAYS ON THE DIAMOND

No, as much as we all want to see it happen, Humber the dog didn’t assemble with puppy pals Appa, Stevie, Blueberry, and others to take over the field, instead, the mid-season heat of August was soaking Dreamer jerseys like that old carwash out on the Queensway. While every day is bring your pup day to the Field of Dreamers games, this week’s matchups felt like we were just hitting our stride and learning our teams!

Would the Credit River Cuties outperform the Don River Don Don Revolution or would the peeps in purple level up against the west end darlings? Would the Rouge River Rainbow Rebellion top their cupcake with sprinkles or would the Garrison Creek Gargoyles stand still enough to see victory within their grasp?
