Game 5- Tega Grays Get a 14-1 Slap on the Buttocks
A momentous win! Plenty of beer! I give you all a hearty here here ! With strong potential to have been one of our toughest matches of the season, the Gray’s failed miserably getting in their pokes. With the exception of one play that included a couple of ‘runner-chasing’ spaz hurls, (luckily resulting in their only run), defensively we played near flawless. Jon delivered his par-like performance at short as Pat displayed stretches of concentration at first. Once again the ‘Hydrocodone combo’ gives credence to what is destined to become our secondary motto; ‘Better living through chemistry.’ Way to go guys. Much of the success however must go to a stellar mound performance by Jamie V. The Grays sticks were made comatose to the point of futile resuscitation while our early 2 out rally, (scoring 6 runs) is proof that singles win games and testimony our bats remain breathing. On the premise we were running the risk of becoming over confident, I ended this rally with two of the lamest but most majestic whiffs ever witnessed in the sport. Nothing like a questionable tease before destroying your opponent ehh? Although it cost me 24 cans, this spectacle will linger as a tactical maneuver in my mind…hehe. Upon my second trip to the plate however, I will admit to producing an unusual amount of armpit and palm moisture. Staring at an 02 count and a Cheshire-like smirk from the pitcher, I’m convinced I heard Marty priming his pipes with octave scale in preparation to bellow his now infamous; “THAT’S TWO BABY!”. But having consumed at least one additional glass of yeast strainings, I not only made contact, somehow the first baseman’s foot was panicked from the bag. Proof positive that beer does indeed give us an edge and from a team perspective is a nectar from God. Whew! Currie’s title remains intact.
Now to the Buttheads. As best as can be determined, we have two candidates nominated for intestinal insertion honors. Jerry and Mike (“Big Wally”) Borer succeeded in combining their base running genius to a point of redefining the term ‘happy feet’. According to a quote from 3rd base coach Behr, Jerry was instructed to remain planted and held Big Wally. Although both made gallant efforts to remain untouched, why in Allah’s name the pair chose to ignore said instruction warrants explanation and debate as to one or both owing penalty cases. Let the deliberations commence. If you are having difficulty getting on the comment board, a group e-mail will suffice. Until further notice however, I am compelled to consign two craniums inside their respective colons.
Great job Crew. Seeing as how we have the next two game days off, I will grab us some field time next week. Look for an e-mail or watch the News/Comments section for details.
Have a nice holiday

Game 4/1
Well we finally have our first one under the belt albeit our 4th scheduled. Congrats to all for a reasonably well played ‘good’ game. We won by sparse margin and there were only a couple of shortcomings. But none severe enough to warrant penalty cases. Plays of the game honors go to Mike B. (Big Wally) for his rocket shot left field HR and Dave S. for the 3rd out momentum killing bullet hurl to third. Good job guys. Had our bats been just a little sharper, we surely would have had a more convincing show. But as we realized last year, a first game blowout is by no means telling of future performances. Let’s not repeat our 4 game losing streak of the last Fall season following our crippling victory in the opener. If anything, this one should serve as a leveler.
Now, about those shortcomings. First and foremost, we fuckin’ ran out of beer! Need I remind anyone of the terse e-mail of last year regarding this subject. Gentlemen, we are the BREW CREW. Granted we have measures in place (K.O. penalty case) that inevitably insure against our palates becoming parched and free our heads from tension, but this was GAME 1! Everyone should know at this point, reserve stock is low. Add the fact that we had two abstentions on the initiation cases and we pretty much went in the damn hole on malted barley beverages. Hats off to those that at least brought something to the plate (dugout). As for those who failed to supplement their personal needs by neglecting to visit a retail cooler, pardranked, then were disappointed when the well went dry….. consider yerselves lucky we’re not considering “party foul” penalty cases. On second thought, maybe not a bad idea in view of our current inventory status. I’ll leave this one up for debate on the board. As I have it currently, we have 1 ‘commit/no-show’ case due from Derick and 1 ‘semi-new man’ case due from Bill. By the way, if I’m not mistaken, Bill has gone on record with an objection as to the validity of his ‘new man’ penance, so don’t bank on that one until it’s mulled out through a team vote. (hehe…yer screwt Bill) Secondly, we have major errors/butthead maneuvers to note. First one of the season goes to MJ Currie. Michael, it’s one thing to play with your heart, it’s another one altogether by trying to catch the ball with it. (Oweeeee!) Snearly. Jesus man! Making the third out at 3rd by pressing a run! Extreme danger in a tight game. Next time maybe take an extree hoot a brown to quell the scorgasm. We had a few more errors in the field but all considered acceptable in that they were demanding plays. So….in terms of detriment, butthead of the week is awarded to Dave for his 3rd out at third. I do wish to footnote that he redeems mucho points for his subsequent post game Mickey’s Ice contribution to our otherwise dehydrated throats. Nice job Dave, it was tremendously appreciated.
Overall we played and ran the ball well. Now that first game jitters are behind us we’ll need to take it up a notch with our bats to beat the Grays this Wed…they smoked the Red team.
