You football people make me sick

It is a hard thing to justify, that somehow sitting at home, watching pituitary cases smash each others heads in on TV could be better than being out in the warm sun, playing the national sport. Yet, somehow, I think that is where the majority of the team was this weekend, cuz they sure weren’t out playing ball. We were lucky enough that Mitch pulled up stakes from the Eagles disaster he was attending to make us legal, and we all owe a big thanks to JT’s daughter, Amelia, for making the trek out to save our game, the swing is looking great!

Greg took the bump for the first time in quite a while, and managed to give up at least one run in every inning. That takes some skill, but then again, Greg’s arm doesn’t get heated up for at least five innings, so there is that to consider. It was a battle of the come backers, which I apparently have developed a proclivity for. In my defense, I wish I could say that I had that much control over that sort of thing, but I think there are only a few who can do that on our team (Mike Lattig, we are looking in your direction…..). So no sooner had I been brushed back and admonished for apparently trying to hit come backers, Greg hits one straight at my head. I still got enough pep to duck and cover, but I have to say that I got the message without the punctuation.

Sean, the new lefty, capable and not hurting after his debut last week, managed another fine outing to close the door, and I must say that curve ball is a thing of beauty. We gotta do something about those pockets though, you are taking the elephant ears to a whole new vista (glad to have you out there).

Defensive player has to go to Rick Kvoriak who had more gems than the Queen, and half of them were against his own team, not that we complained….Rick’s prediction of two errors didn’t happen, but he got the double, and I got him to swing at a lot of junk, so everybody was happy.

Highlights:
*Rick’s sno-cones at third

*The Krackatoa rally that almost was

*Four dents in cop cars ( we should limit our joyful response when the cop is there with his shotgun though)

*Nobody got hurt on the five come backers

*The Caribbean winter

Thanks to everybody who did show up, take care of that back Duane, and hope to see a lot more of you next week!
