2/24/13 West Sunset

It was Mrs. Paige's birthday on Sunday, and we had a great time, brunch at the world famous Hick'ery Pit in the Creek, followed by some leisurely walking and then home for a garden cake and wine soiree with some friends.  A good time was had by all, and while I would be lying if I said that I didn't think once about baseball, it was a great alternative and an awesome way to spend a Sunday.  Happy Birthday Sadie!

Some people, however, did make it to the game, and here with the quick and dirty is Ed "Theo and Milo's Pop" Sidawi.


We were 17. Mitch went six for the homers, Noah all nine for the visitors.

Errors doomed the visitors early. A spate of unearned runs kept them from threatening the lead even when they did score. After 6, it was 9-5, about the closest it would be.

Johnny came in for the Homers. Final was 13-7 or so.

Highlights

*West Sunset sun was bright and always seemed to be in the wrong place.

*Bob was HBP, but it only grazed his uniform, so he and I agreed that the ball was still in play. I'll take the passed ball, sorry Mitch.

*Theis hit a HR to center. He even went home without a base coach. We don't need no stinking base coaches.

*New guy Andrew blasted a triple that could have been a HR if there was a base coach. The long line drive may or may not have been why he was hit square in the back in his next AB.

*It has been decided by me that we need a PA for the BBQ. And one of us needs to announce the batters. Make this happen, I have no means of skills in the area.  Ed. Note: Done and Done.

*Johnny showed up with a box of shirts. Black. He wants 10 bones for them. Get them while the getting is good.
