Well, it was Superbowl™ (All rights reserved, here fore after without expressed written and verbal consent of the NFL, it shall be refered to as "the Big Game.") Sunday. Satch was on his way back from a trip to that lovely jewel of the desert, Reno, NV and on my way to a housewarming in Walnut Creek. So after a while on the road I realized that I wouldn't be able to make the game. I tried dammit!
In any case, there was a game, and a doozy from the sounds of it. The day was amazing (Greg told me when I called in my absence, that although we often say it, It really was the most beautiful day ever!!!! Really drove the ol' stake through the heart.) There were plenty of people willing to miss the beginning of the "The Big Game". Great! I love it. From Mike G. and John M. I was able to glean the following highlights:
It was a very fun game, well played and close, 4 to 3. johnny and tony pitched for the homers and noah and sean took the bump for the visitors, no homers, but some well hit balls and some great fielding (as usual) by chris w/ 2 over the shoulder basket catches, one for dbl play.
* Johnny pitched six strong (one not so strong) innings and got out of
several jams thanks to some good d. chris's over the shoulder grab,
ed's strong throw from right keeping mike l. at third (he never made it
home) and john m's stab of bob's line drive.
- tony came in after johnny and got a six out save with a minimum of
pitches thrown.
- bob got hit twice.
- sean had the hit of the day. a right center gapper that almost hit the
wall. He also pitched 4 or 5 innings of shut out ball.
- anthony had an at least 15 pitch at at bat that ended with him bunting
safely for a hit. (d. eckstein would have been proud)
So, we got another weekend of sun ahead, and then the rain may descend again, so lets get a good strong turnout on Sunday, same place, same time.
