...Okay, okay you can't call a four game season a long strange trip, but
we sure as hell earned those baby blue badges of courage that were on
display at Fridays. They say that pitching and defense wins
championships. I think dropping 46 runs in two games on the opponents
might have a little do to with it as well.
You can't start anywhere else on the field, but in the middle of the
diamond. Andy firing dart after dart was lights out. With Janice calling
pitches(and saving Bobs life a few times) behind the dish there was no
stopping this duo. Helping his own cause Andy decided that he wasn't
going to screw around anymore and jacked a few balls over the fence. And
while were on the topic of fences "Edwin I got the outfield walls phone
number for you". Although the fence was quite upset you had to kiss and
run. Nice catch stud! The corner outfield positions were filled
admirably by a couple of sweet swinging gamers. Mark roaming the Left
Field line "because his old lady made him" decided to join the Crews
shortstop in the long walk back to the dugout after jacking an
out......over the fence. Joe with his smooth swing kept everyone in the
dugout alive with his blistering shots that peppered the 1st baseline.
4-H club beware. Proving that hot hitting is contagious the corners of
the infield decided to dust off the sticks and bring some leather too.
Bryan decided to take time off from his treatment in the trainers office
and grace the line-up with his presence. Even having to let a tool from
the other team know that they were being "very Un-dude". Patrolling the
'Hot Corner' was none other than Lina. She had a pressing engagement of
packing for a trip, but felt the team needed her for the playoff push.
While flashing some leather she decided to break out the playoff caliber
grunt at the plate. Shouting out "Let the girls play" with screaming
line drives to infinity and beyond. Dina stepping in for an injured 2nd
sacker adapted well to the new position, but looked a little tired out
there(obviously still shellshocked from the nuptials). Bringing her
determined game face to the batters box turned out to be nothing but
aces for the Crew. Stepping up to take over the duties in the 1st base
coaches box was Tess. Not only did she bring her baserunning expertise
to the table, but also a very large stick that seemed to encourage
people to pass Go and collect $200 at 2nd base. Finally a few words on
our fearless leader. Regina brought to the team a desire to win and
swing at as many bad pitches as possible. With the use of one good
leg(although rumored to have been caught dancing on a few bars after
curfew)she kept defying the odds and kept her spot at the top of the
line-up. It probably helped that she was writing the line-up, but who
really cares about that now. Wanting only a shirt and not caring what
further injuries lie ahead she braved the soggy outfield and made a few
nice stabs(although her form and lack of practice did give Andy some
raised blood pressure on the mound). Bringing that disciplined swing to
the park last night led to many adventures around the bases which makes
me wonder if she should have also brought a walker. A few lashings from
Tess got her in gear though. One of the key front office moves by Reg
had to have been getting that guy from behind the front desk to come out
and play shortstop for her. The jury is still out on if that move paid
off or not. I hear his agent is going to be asking for beer dispensing
batting helmets for next season.
Good job everybody. Wear your powder blue shirts with pride or just
change your oil in 'em. Either way we all did a little bit to earn 'em.
Way to take out the trash Clean Up Crew!
