2006 CFOD PLAYOFF PREVIEW Hillsborough Regulators (99-63, Koufax Division winner) vs. Angry Candy (89-73, League Wildcard) In the season preview, the Regulators were picked to finish 5th in the division, with their worrisome closer situation cited as an issue. Early in the season they traded for BJ Ryan, who was nothing short of phenominal, and the Regulators captured the Koufax division pennant. Ryan saved 38 games for the Regulators (a league leading 43 overall), with a miniscule 0.62 ERA. Starter Chris Young went 18-7 with a 3.28 ERA, while Aaron Cook went 14-9 with a 3.23 ERA. Jim Thome had a monster year at the plate, hitting 60 home runs with 155 runs scored and 129 RBI. Jermaine Dye hit 51 home runs with 147 RBI, while Alfonso Soriano hit 49 home runs with 110 runs scored and 135 RBI. Shortstop Jimmy Rollins and 2B Luis Castillo each scored over 110 runs. The Angry Candy made the playoffs for the 8th time in 9 years thanks to their solid core of players. Jason Bay hit .293 with 36 home runs, 109 runs scored and 144 RBI. Bobby Abreu had a .424 on base average with 143 runs scored, while Chipper Jones hit .314 with 27 home runs, 107 runs scored and 99 RBI. Todd Helton hit .301 with a .384 on base average and 97 runs scored. Starter Bronson Arroyo finished the year 16-12, while Josh Beckett went 14-6. Closer duties were spread out amongst 10 different relievers, all who combined to save 38 games. In 9 regular season contests, the Angry Candy won the season series 5 games to 4. The Regulators have home field advantage due to their pennant winning status. ******************************************************************* GAME ONE -- Angry Candy (Escobar) at Regulators (Cook). The Regulators nickel and dimed their way to 5 runs over 5 innings, holding the Angry Candy comfortably at bay throughout as they won game 1 by a score of 5-2.

Reports of the Angry Candy's demise have been greatly exaggerated. The Candy scored 4 runs in the 1st inning, starting off with a 2-run shot by Jason Bay. Both teams scored a few runs in the middle innings, but the Angry Candy were leading by a score of 6-3 heading into the bottom of the 9th. Ramon Ramirez was pitching for the Candy. Juan Encarnacion doubled to left. Luis Castillo singled to right, sending Encarnacion to third. Suddenly the tying run, Jimmy Rollins, was at bat...or was, he lined out to short. Next batter up, Jermaine Dye, singled, scoring Encarnacion and shortening the lead to 2. Jim Thome singled to load the bases with 1 out and the score 6-4 with the meat of the order still to come. The next batter up was Alfonso Soriano. Big at bat. Soriano grounded to the mound, and Ramirez threw home for the out. 2 outs, bases still loaded. Next batter up was AJ Pierzynski, former catcher for the Candy before signing on with the Regulators back in '04. Would Pierzynski turn the tide of the game against his former teammates? Not today. Pierzynski struck out with the bases loaded, ending the game. The Angry Candy win game 2 by a score of 6-4, and tie up the series heading back to their home stadium.

THREE -- Regulators (Olsen) at Angry Candy (Beckett). Both teams scored a couple of runs early on, then went scoreless through the end of 9 innings where the game remained tied at 2. The score was deadlocked until the top of the 12th inning, when AJ Pierzynski doubled in a run to put Hillsborough up 3-2. BJ Ryan was pitching for the Regulators in the bottom of the 12th, going into his third inning of relief. Jason Lane was issued a 0 out walk. Bobby Abreu sacrifice bunted the runner over to second. 1 out. Kevin Youkilis struck out. 2 outs, and it was up to Jason Bay to do something. A single would tie it up, a homer would win it. But Ryan proved himself once again as a dominant closer, striking out Bay to end the game. Hillsborough wins game 3 in extra innings by a score of 3 to 2.

It was a pitcher's duel early on, as neither team could get a hit through 3 innings. Jim Thome broke the deadlock in the 4th with the first hit of the game .. a solo home run. The Candy answered in the bottom of the inning when Jason Bay singled in Todd Helton from third. 1-1 after 4. The Candy broke it wide open in the 6th, when Jose Valentin bashed a 3-run homer. Jimmy Rollins chipped away at the lead, hitting a 2-run dinger for the Regulators in the top of the 7th inning. The Candy would go into the top of the 9th with a 1 run lead. Chris Ray was pitching for the Candy. Chone Figgens singled, and Chris Duffy doubled, scoring Figgens and tying up the game wiht 0 outs. Rick Bauer came on in relief. Luis Castillo struck out for out #1. Jimmy Rollins grounded out for out #2, sending Duffy to third. The go-ahead run was at the plate, Jermaine Dye, but he grounded to short, ending the inning. The Regulators didn't go ahead, but they tied it up at 4. The Angry Candy failed to score in the bottom of the 9th, so the game would go into extra innings. Unfortunately for Hillsborough, a fielding error would be their undoing in the bottom of the 10th. With the score still 4-4, Jason Bartlett walked facing Greg Aquino. Bobby Abreu singled, moving Bartlett to second. The next batter, Todd Helton, grounded to short on a double play ball. But the throw from Luis Castillo to first went horribly wrong, allowing Bartlett to score from second, ending the game. The Angry Candy win game 5 by a score of 5-4, and are 1 win away from advancing to the MK conference finals.

******************************************************************* GAME SIX -- Angry Candy (Arroyo) at Regulators (Young). The Angry Candy were 1 game away from advancing to the conference finals, and jumped out to an early lead. Chipper Jones hit a 2-run homer in the 1st inning. The Regulators nipped at the lead in the bottom of the first with a run, but the Candy would find a way to keep ahead. They scored in the 5th, and the Regulators added a run in the bottom of the inning to make it 3-2. In the top of the 7th, the Candy scored another run when a Roberto Novoa wild pitch scored Felipe Lopez. 4-2 Candy. In the bottom of the 7th, the Regulators brought the home crowd alive, scoring 2 runs on RBI singles by Chris Duffey and Jimmy Rollins to tie the game up at 4 runs each. But the Candy silenced the crowd just as quickly, scoring another run in the top of the 8th on yet another wild pitch by a Regulators pitcher, this time reliever Todd Coffey. The Regulators would go into the bottom of the 9th with a 5-4 deficit and needing to score at least 1 run to extend their season. Ramon Ramirez was pitching for the Candy in the bottom of the 9th. Luis Castillo, who had a critical game losing error in game 5, was at the plate. Castillo atoned for part of his mistake, smacking a 0 out triple. Jimmy Rollins hit a double, scoring Castillo and tying the game up at 5. Chris Ray came on in relief. Jermaine Dye flied out to center, sending Rollins to third. 1 out. Next up was pinch hitter Jorge Cantu. A simply sacrifice fly and Rollins would score, ending the game in favor of the Regulators. But Cantu grounded out to second. 2 outs. What was once an easy win situation with a runner at 2nd with 0 outs turned into a runner at third with 2 outs, and Alfonso Soriano at the plate. Soriano, who had been 0-3 for the day with a walk. Would Soriano be able to win it outright for the Regulators or would the game go into extra innings? After a strike, Soriano cranked the ball over the fence for a game winning, 2 run home run. The Regulators played catch-up all game, and caught up at the right moment, winning game 6 in the bottom of the 9th by a score of 7-5. This series will go to game seven, with the winner advancing to the MK conference finals.

******************************************************************* GAME SEVEN -- Angry Candy (Beckett) at Regulators (Olsen). This was it. The winner of this game would advance to the MK conference finals, the loser would go home for the rest of the season. The Candy's bats were popping in the early innings. They scored a run in each of the first two innings, and left their inning with the bases loaded in 2 of the first four. Josh Beckett was holding the Regulator batters at bay. Their first hit (with a hit-by-pitch Jermaine Dye at first) happened to be a 2-run homer by Jim Thome, who tied it up at 2. The Angry Candy retook the lead in the 5th on consecutive RBI doubles by Greg Zaun and Jason Bartlett as well as a fielder's choice. 5-2 Candy. Another fielder's choice in the 6th increased the Candy's lead to 4. 6-2 after 6. Meanwhile, Josh Beckett was trucking along, practically taking over the game. In the bottom of the 9th, with 2 outs and Jim Thome at first, Beckett got Alfonso Soriano to strike out, ending the game and the Regualtors' season. The Angry Candy triumph in 7 games with a 6-2 victory, and advance to the MK conference finals. ANGRY CANDY WINS 4-3. 10/8/2007, ANG06-HIL06, Great American Ball Park 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E LOB DP 2006 Angry Candy 1 1 0 0 3 1 0 0 0 6 12 0 10 0 2006 Regulators 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 2 2 1 3 0 Angry
