Diablos complete title run with win over Ducks...

For the first time in 4 years the Diablos were back in the title game. For the first time in 8 years they're able to call themselves champions of the wiffle world again. The Rusty Ducks, appearing in their second straight championship game, fell 25-5 to the now 5 time champion Diablos to earn a solid 2nd place finish at this years 18th Annual WBWS at historic Sherwood Yards. Everything seemed to be clicking for the Diablos in 2014....who outscored opponents 98-37 and went unscathed at 5-0 to earn the crown. Led by strong pitching, solid defense and plenty of firepower throughout the lineup, this 2014 Diablo outfit was going to be a tough out for any team. The Diablos appear to have everyone back for a possible repeat in 2015 although the entire roster is looking for an extension and higher salaries, bonuses, etc. after the strong showing this year leading to the potential for some hold outs when spring training arrives next season. El Conquistador wants to thank everyone who came out and participated & donated during WBWS weekend. The players, the fans and Mike and Bev have all helped make this event a huge success and a strong fundraiser for St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. Although final numbers aren't in...early figures are that over $700.00 will have been raised over the weekend. That's over double from 2013!!! Stay tuned for the latest wiffle happenings right here and look forward to seeing everyone at the 19th Annual WBWS next year!!!

The highly anticipated and always controversial WBWS preview show now available for your listening pleasure.....

18th Annual WBWS Preview Show Coming Soon....

The highly anticipated and often controversial WBWS preview show will be coming to a computer near you very soon. Sources have confirmed that El Conquistador and The Kid will again be the hosts after intense negotiations about their contract to do the show were finally hammered out. When tried to reach for comment to obtain the terms of the deal, the number for The Kid led us to an escort service and when we called the number for El Conquistador...an old folks home picked up. Rumors around the league are that the players aren't very happy with these two doing the show as some veterans have called the two "bush league" and "a travesty to the sport" among others. No player was willing to go on record however. This year's show will feature a rapid fire segment with coaches of the 9 team field giving insight into their teams in anticipation of the 18th annual tournament which is just a few weeks away. Surely some new blood infused into the show will garner better ratings than that of the past. Only time will tell. Look for the WBWS preview show to hit computers about a week before the scheduled first pitch.

Bennett inks deal that makes him a Diablo for 2014....

As was reported earlier yesterday, in a shocking yet ultra clever and maniacal move, El Conquistador has landed the biggest wiffle free agent on the market in Ross Bennett. Bennett will don the devil red for the 2014 tourney campaign after wanting to test free agency after learning the Honey Badgers would not be making a tourney run this year. Bennett and the Diablos have common ground in that last year's tournament ended in early disappointment for both. Says El Conquistador "Hell yes I'm mad...and I'm not going to take it anymore. If you think we're all about beer and doughnuts, you're sadly mistaken. We were raging that there were no jalapenos to go with the f@#$ing nachos last year. Look, everyone knows RB's talents, and now we know he's taking his talents to the Diablos...unquestionably the most storied franchise in wiffle ball. Love us or hate us, and for the majority it's the latter, we go after the best. And when the best are available, you make a move. Now get the camera out of my face fu%^wad". Team Stag appeared to have its panties in a wad over the move and called it "desperate". Bennett looks to become only the 2nd player in WBWS history to win the crown with two different franchises as Stag 1B Ty Spaeth became the first to win 2 championships...one with Stag last year and one previously with the Diablos. Bennett seems excited to make a run at the 2014 crown with his new teammates as indicated in the accompanying press release below:

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo.-- After hours of intense negotiations, the Diablos and LH/LHP Ross Bennett have agreed in principle on a new deal. The deal sends Bennett from the 2011 Wiffle Ball World Series Champion Honey Badgers to the 4-time champion Diablos. Honey Badgers GM, Nathan McGuire, was unavailable for comment due to coaching 11 youth select teams this Summer. Bennett, pictured below sporting his new Diablos hat, spoke to the media including Diablos Beat Reporter Calvin Broadus aka Snoop Dogg (also pictured below). "First off, I'd like to thank the Honey Badgers for giving me the opportunity to play the last few years. The 2011 squad with Nathan McGuire and J.Y. Miller was a special team to be a part of. Unfortunately, without McGuire and Miller present, our team struggled both offensively and defensively this past season. I cherish the relationships from that team and continue to remain good friends off the field with that squad. Our legacy will always remain on the wooden championship board on Sherwood. However, at this time, joining the Diablos feels like the best career move for myself and my family. We all know its every wiffle toddlers dream to grow up and don the devilish red and black of the Diablos. Their lineup is solid top to bottom and their team defense is second to none in the tourney. I know I'll be protected offensively and if I'm called upon to pitch, I'll have playmakers at every position on defense." Prior to joining the Diablos, Bennett must pass a team physical. The physical is multi-faceted but emphasizes an ability to perform at high level while consuming a large quantity of adult beverages. Other details of the contract were unknown although reports indicate Bennett will receive upwards of 3 regular glazed doughnuts on Playoff Sunday and access to the Augustine's liquor vault for the two day tourney. Diablos GM Jeff Augustine will meet with the media Friday morning.

DIABLOS nearing historic signing.......

Disappointed after 2 sub-standard tournament showings, El Conquistador is putting it all on the line trying to acquire the hottest free agent on the wiffle ball market, LH slugging, power hitter extraordinaire Ross Bennett, currently employed by the Honey Badgers Wiffle Ball Club. According to El Conquistador, Bennett is the perfect fit for the Diablos mash and bash lineup and would infuse a jolt into what is an otherwise already HOF lineup... Says El C "RB has been on our radar for some time. It just so happens that I caught wind at the little league park last night that he is potentially a free agent. Obviously from a GM standpoint, it would be ridiculous and irresponsible for me to not entertain and pursue Bennett to become part of the Diablos". Although nothing is official, reports are out that Bennett is demanding a multi year deal that would include a number of perks as mentioned in the recently released press release below....

Knowing El Conquistador's relentless pursuit of another championship, there's no question he's willing to beg, borrow and steal to make this deal happen. Stay tuned as this is a developing situation.
