It may be a little premature to discuss this, but our record is strong. At this time we have the second best record in the D2 league. The only team ahead of us is Papa Flanagan's. We beat them earlier this season and don't play them again. So, if we can win the rest of our games - or at least keep our record as good as Papa's we will win the league...earning 15 D-league champion T-shirts. Nothing pleases Mr. Gordon as much as a free T-shirt - so I for one really want this championship. Also, I suspect we might convince former coach Kepley to shower at the truck stop to celebrate.
08/02/07 Tahoe Park - Slugs V *itten *ats:
It was a depleted team that hit the field that night. Nearly half the Slugs were drinking in Mexico (is that where you are Ed or am I just writing fiction?) or attending the thrilling Capitol Beat conference in Phili. Those that did show, brought their A games.
Juliet and Coach Tam both had to contend with the home plate umpire. He asked Tamara if she would like to date his son - and wouldn't take no for an answer even offering up his son's salary level $92,000 a year. And with catcher Juliet, he was a little too protective of the game balls among other things.
Kevin had a superb game in left field. The fence robbed him of one catch, but otherwise he had a golden glove. The most outstanding catch was also the last out of the game. Liv, the *itten *ats catcher slugged perhaps the best hit of her career, over the head of short-stop Kepley. Kevin ran in to catch it, diving forward, rolling and coming up with the catch.
After the game Kepley was heard saying something to the effect of: "we would have beaten them by even more if not for all my errors." But that's hardly the case. He was the hard-working half of the night's most exciting double play, catching a line drive with a reach, then throwing the runner out at first before he could get back to the bag.
Other game notes - Mackenzie did some great fielding, Melody played well at first and second, Matt, Dan and Ahmed rocked.
