The loss from last night's game is still stinging, literally. My leg is killing me from sliding into third. (No, I did not have to take a juicy turd.)
Overall, I thought it was a really good game. The damn Luck Dragons beat us 7-4. They managed to score one run an inning or something like that and needle their way to victory. We were, however, worthy competitors this time around and they should fear us next season when the Suck Dragons are a well oiled machine. We just couldn't manage to keep the ball away from Brokaw and Rob who are like a couple of spider monkeys with mits hopped up on Jolt Cola when they play the field.
In an ode to Brokaw, I thought I would do the post-game highlights as he sometimes does.
The Jose Uribe "I Should Have Worn My Flip-down Sunglasses" Award goes to Nick Leonte who looked like a blind man feeling his way around a fun house during a line drive in the first inning. (He made the catch.)
The Nomar Garciaparra "I Think I'll Just Sit This One Out" Award goes to Jamison Harnish for missing the game. She may have been the difference between a win and a loss last night.
The Manny Ramirez "I Surprised Myself By Making That Catch" Award goes to Chris Baquial who made some great catches in left last night that I really didn't think he was going to get.
The Oakland A's "We Score Runs But No One Really Remembers How" Award goes to our offense last night. I cannot for the life of me remember how one of our runs was scored and it's not because of the margaritas.
The Mike Piazza "I Moved To First Base And Am Not Really Sure What I Am Doing Yet" Award goes to Megan Robinson for stepping up and playing third last night and doing a decent job.
The John Olerude "I Have To Wear This Stupid Helmet" Award goes to Tiffani Mendez who had to wear the new motivational speaker on our team, Billy, two times last night. (Although the game ended on the second one.)
That's all I got for this week. Next week we take on those Damn Dirty Hippies so expect some sort of pre/post game affair.
Kudos to a job somewhat well done last night.
