Ben/J-Lo:
The Real Reason Behind Their Breakup
September
17, 2003 -- Have they gone from Bennifer back to Ben and Jennifer?
Ben
Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, the most overexposed couple on
the planet, were supposed to exchange wedding vows Sunday.
But instead there was a report that their tabloid-chronicled,
storybook romance was over.
Amid
the frantic speculation surrounding the pair last week, the
web site run by the Social Misfits reported Monday that Affleck
had dumped Lopez due to a photo (posted below) which shows
J-Lo leaving a Winnipeg Goldeyes baseball game with a possible
new "boy toy".

While the male in the photo remains a mystery to most, this
web site has received numerous tips indicting the two may
have met while J-Lo was out shopping for some lumber and hardware
supplies at a local Winnipeg merchant. There have been reported
sightings of J-Lo and this new mystery man all over Winnipeg
as J-Lo continues to shoot scenes within the city for her
upcoming movie Shall we Dance, also starring Richard Gere
and Susan Sarandon. Over the past few weeks the couple has
been spotted at Buffalo Bills, Ruckers, Goldeyes games, Hooters,
and Kyle's basement on Sundays watching football.
Dubbed
"Bennifer" by gossip wags, the couple planned to
wed at a mansion estate near Santa Barbara, Calif. But they
postponed the ceremony Wednesday, saying excessive media attention
was playing havoc with the event.
Citing
unidentified "sources close to the couple," many
tabloids have reported that Affleck initiated the breakup
with Lopez, who was "devastated" and "in tears."
A
representative for Affleck, Ken Sunshine, declined comment
on the breakup rumor. Lopez's publicist, Dan Klores, did not
return The Social Misfits call for comment.
Hung
Out to Dry
December 23, 2003-Social Misfit's fielder Al Sellars has been
put on the disabled list after a freak accident that saw him
injure an ankle after taking a tumble while hanging up some
Christmas lights. "I really don't know what happened,"
said Earl, who witnessed the event. "One second he was
hanging up some lights, telling me some story that I had heard
like 3 times before, and then I heard him crying like a little
school girl" added Earl. "The next thing I know,
I look over, and the jackass was dangling from the roof and
his leg was all twisted up in some of the lights."

Al,
for his part, was extremely quiet on the topic however he
did express some concern that instead of helping him untangle
from the mess, Earl instead called Jody to come over and take
some pictures. "He left me hanging there for nearly an
hour" said a rather frustrated Sellars as he waited for
the blood to flow back to the rest of his body.
While
it is not known what caused Mr. Sellars to fall from the roof,
the Brandon City police are launching their own investigation
into the matter. Early indications are that Mr. Sellars was
trying to point out some hot chick who was walking by, did
his dark wing duck thingy, and his momentum carried him over
the side of the house.
My
Mom Wrote a Letter
August 5, 2003-Keith Richardson arrived at the ballpark tonight
looking for a roster spot with the Social Misfits. Informed
by team officials that his services were not required Keith
immediately laced into a profanity driven tirade which eventually
lead to him screaming "My mom wrote a letter" several
times, at the top of his lungs. He continued to scream, "My
mom wrote a letter" and had to be restrained by both
Jody and Earl, as he tried to get at Al. Once the laughter
settled, Keith read the letter aloud to the team and then
they decided to vote whether or not to let Rolo play.

It
was a close vote (6-5) but in the end Keith won out and was
allowed to play. "I would just like to thank my mom for
taking the time to write the letter" said Keith.
Weekend
Tournament Results (kinda
Misfit related)
September 26/200--Last weekend 6 members of the Social Misfits
softball team were asked to play ball and combined with 2
players from the Brandon Cloverleafs, 2 members of the Peoples
Champs, plus 3 others and reached the tournament A side semi-finals
before the tournament was canceled on the Sunday due to the
excessive rain fall.
In
game one the team trailed the Dodgers by 4 runs heading into
our last at bat and managed to score the necessary 5 runs
to win it. Final score was 14-13. Earl, Lyle Wright, and James
all hit homers in a winning effort.
Game
two saw the team down 16-1, to the Pine Riders, early on after
2 ½ innings. We managed to rally and score 8 runs in
our home half of the 3rd and narrowed the gap some. Then once
again with last at bat and down by 4 runs the bats came alive
and we managed to count the necessary 5-runs to win the ball
game. It should also be noted that all 5 runs in the 7th inning
were scored with one out. Special mention goes out to Craig
who cleared the bases, full at the time, with a triple and
then to Michelle who singled in Craig with a seeing Eye single
to eventually win it. Ryan Potter and Dean Johnson both hit
home runs in this one.
Unfortunately
it rained most of Saturday night and then on the Sunday morning
and tournament officials were forced to cancel the festivities.
Our opposition in the semi-final game was scheduled to be
Hollywood Pizza. In total 18 teams participated in the tournament.

exactly was Bruce thinking in this picture?

Row,
Row, Row Your Boat
July 16/2003--On July the 2nd the city of Vancouver was selected
to host the 2010 Winter Olympics. On July the 3rd a group
of individuals representing the Social Misfits banded together
to form a four man shell rowing team in hopes of representing
the country of Canada at the summer Olympics to be held in
Athens, Greece in 2004.

With
that goal in mind the team quickly set off and competed in
their first ever regatta and took home the gold at an event
held on Lake Minnedosa. The event proved to be the perfect
tune-up for the group of four as after barely qualifying in
the preliminary heats, they set a personal best in the finals
and edged out the competition by more then 2.5 seconds. Training
is expected to last the entire summer and long into the cold
winter months, leeading right up to the Canadian time trials
slated for early summer 2004.
You
Can Dance if You Want To
Sept. 02/2003-For weeks the management team of the Social
Misfits was left wondering why Charlotte failed to show at
the ball diamond for regularly scheduled games. While she
left her teammates with the impression that she was busy studying
for exams the truth can now be told. Charlotte has been heading
into Winnipeg almost weekly and appearing with the Blue Brigade,
the Winnipeg Blue Bombers dance team.

Her
little secret unfolded when an anonymous email came to the
Misfit office, along with the picture above. "We were
extremely pleased that someone came forward and sent off that
email," said team GM Bruce Luebke. "It really answers
a lot of the questions that were racing through my mind,"
he added. The club is looking at taking disciplinary action
against the hard-hitting right fielder and she is looking
at a team-imposed fine/suspension to start next season.
Shanks
Named Manager of 50/50 Sales
July 14/2003--The Social Misfits today announced that Mark
Shanks has been named as the Manager of 50/50 sales for all
remaining home games. Working in Mark's favor was his many
years of experience selling 50/50 tickets during Wheat King
home games.

"Mark
was the canditate we wanted from the outset" said team
GM Bruce Luebke. " "Not only did he have the experience
we were seeking but he also is very comfortable interacting
with the fans" added Bruce. "We are just glad that
he accepted our offer and are really looking forward to working
with such a professional".
By
appointing Mr. Shanks to the position of 50/50 ticket manager
the team expects sales to nearly double over the last few
weeks of the season.
Misfits
Selected to Represent Operation ID
June 16/2003--It was announced today that several members
of the Social Misfits have been selected to represent Operation
ID in their ongoing battle to keep cigarettes out of the hands
of children. Various team members will have their likeness
used throughout the year in everything from billboards, television
ads, print material, and bus benches.

OPERATION
I.D. is a positive-action program designed to help retailers
and their staff uphold the law and put an end to the illegal
sale of tobacco to minors. Operation I.D. is a commitment
by retailers to be part of the solution, not part of the problem,
when it comes to tobacco access by young people.
Playing
Through Pain
June 27/2003--Social Misfit outfielder Craig 'Jr. Mints' Ricahrdson
has been fitted with a Elizabethan Collar, normally reserved
for dogs and cats, after injuring his left eye while out golfing
last Sunday. "I was off in the ruff trying to chip out
when I felt something land in my eye" said Craig. "There
was this immediate burning sensation inside that eye so I
instinctively began to rub it," he added.
Within
a few hours the eye had become very irritated and Craig had
to see a doctor. Not wanting him to fidget or harm the eye
further doctors quickly fitted him with the Elizabethan Collar.
"It was difficult at first trying to find a collar to
fit him, but eventually we found one sized for a Border collie
that seemed to fit fine" said the doctor who administered
the solution.

"Initially
I thought that I was going to have a lot more trouble getting
used to this thing" laughed Craig, who admitted that
he is still having trouble picking up pitches belt high or
lower. "I am not seeing the ball as clearly as I should
be through the plastic funnel," he added. "I just
hope in the long run it doesn't cost me the batting title,"
he continued as he attempted to tip back a Molsons.
Some
teams complained that the funnel could be used as an extra
glove in the outfield so the league ruled that any ball landing
in the collar would not be considered an automatic out, and
instead would be ruled a ground rule double.

who did not wish to be identified. "We will just have
to gage the participants response and act according to their
feedback" he added.
Organizers
of this year's tournament indicated that entries have been
moving along briskly and are limited to the first 14 teams.

Web
Site Turns 1 Today
May 26/2003--It was one year ago today that the Social Misfits
officially launched their team web site. "In the past
year we have experienced enourmous growth in both traffic
and hits" said a spokesperson on behalf of the team.
"We have literally been visited by 1000's of people"
he added.

While
most of the traffic has been from the Westman area, the site
has also played hosts to visitors from both Germany and Iceland.

Fans
visiting the web site for the first time are encouaged to
sign the teams guest book.
Lueber
to Host Seminar for Kids on Tent Peg Pulling
April 15/2003-- "I just wanted to give something back
to the community, to the kids who support us all season long"
said Bruce, as he explained why he organized the 3 day retreat
for kids. "It's important that they understand and follow
the safety rules and regulations on how to properly remove
tent pegs when camping" added Bruce.

The seminar
is scheduled to take place on the September long weekend and
parents are encouraged to enroll their children now. Seating
is limited and the spots are being filled up quickly.
The kids
will be expected to stay up late as much of the seminar will
not take place untill after Bruce has closed down the Souris
bar. "Tent peg pulling is alot more enjoyable and rewarding
after a night of pounding back the brewskies" said Bruce.
Bruce
expects to be very busy with his one on one training with
the kids so Misfit outfielder Al 'Aero' Sellars has also volunteered
his time to setup the tents for the children.

Cam
Orders New Bedroom Suite
April 17/2003--Just how much of a baseball fan in Cam Moir?
I think that our questions were all answered when Cam showed
off his new bedroom suite to his team mates.

"This
particular suite just caught my eye as soon as I saw it"
said Cam. "The mattress is so firm and it's practical
as well as I can use the ends of the bed to hang up my ball
caps" he added.
Cam indicated
that he had re-named his bedroom "Legends Field"
and that he had already hit plenty of home runs is his new
digs. Rumour has it that he has planned future expansions
within his bedroom including a score board, snack machine,
vendor sales, and the installation of stadium lighting and
seating.
"Its
all about inticing the fans to come back to the ballpark"
joked Cam.

Misfit's
Searching for a New Home
January 02/2003--Management for the Social Misfits were officially
informed that they will have to relocate to a new ball field
next season as Nexxen plans to close down the diamonds for
good.
"We
are all quite sad to be be losing the first home of the Misfits"
said a misty eyed Bruce Luebke. "The diamond really became
part of our identity" added Craig.
Upon hearing
that the lease for the ball field had expired Bruce, putting
to use his extensive tent pulling skills, immedialty trotted
out to the diamond and removed both home plate and the pitching
rubber that the team had worked so hard on installing.
Management
is now concerned with focusing it's resources to locate a
new ball diamond for the club. "We are going to explore
a few different options" said a dejected Cam. 'There
are not many parks that will offer us the same features as
Misfit Parlk" added Cam. An ad looking for a potential
new stadium has been placed in several local, prominent publications.

So
the search will go on for a place for the Misfit's to hang
their hats. Anyone who has an idea for a good location for
a new home field are asked to contact
the management office of the team, or Bruce.
Once a
new diamond is located there will be an official press release
posted on this web page.
