True Foes Own Summer of '05
Criterion's hard-nosed softball team, the True Foes, has long been known for its grit, enthusiasm, and sportsmanlike behavior. But this year, it has come to be known for something else—winning. Making a major leap forward from last year's 3-7 record, the True Foes proved a lot tougher than they looked as they sealed their first-ever winning season (5-4-1) with a 16-4 victory over the New York Taxi and Limousine Commission, on the sultry evening of Monday, July 25. It was a gratifying end to a great season, and the team looks forward to electrifying those in the Media and Government League for many summers to come. True Foes till the wheels fall off!
Check it.

(just kiddin!!)
from above link this sounds like an exciting game!
5/19/2005 TRUE FOES MUCKRAKERS 14-13
The True Foes mounted a comeback from an early 10-0 deficit. They came back again to tie the score at 13 with 3 runs in the last of the 7th -- a rally that started with 2 outs and no one on. They won with a 2 out hit in the bottom of the 8th inning.
Someone "ask jon mulvaney!" who hit the winning run?

And it ain't over 'til it's over. The True Foes have made the playoffs. Their first playoff game is against El Destructo Monday, August 1st, 6 PM at the Con-Ed field -- 16th St. and Avenue C.
Be sure to go there to cheer them on, demand a Rivette box set, and maybe bring some ear plugs 'cause that field is almost under the FDR drive...

They probably have a couple in their webpage department as well considering the shoddy way the August titles were posted. I think Boudu still has claim over two spine numbers on their webpage. Still, you can't put a price on a great clean-up hitter and a solid short-stop.Theodore R. Stockton wrote:Maybe the rumor about the ringers in the cover art department WAS true.

Could be ... I hear they brought in Rafael Palmeiro as a hitting coach during the off-season. Out of gratitude, they've given Rafy the opportunity to do a commentary track on an upcoming release of either Nick Ray's Bigger Than Life or Sascha Guitry's 1936 Le Roman d'un tricheur (aka The Story of a Cheat).ByMarkClark.com wrote:Quite a turnaround. Perhaps the Criterion softball team discovered steroids during the off-season?
