Slugs V Backseat Drivers. Backseat Drivers leave wondering what hit them.
The Slugs and the Backseat Drivers have met 3 times on the Sacramento D League Softball Field. In the first two meetings, the Slugs should have won, but they didn't. The Drivers' pitcher shook up the Slugs hitting. He pitched inside and seemed to put a strange spin on the ball. The Slugs were stumped, he had them psyched out. At first they blamed it on their hitting. They went to the cages, even bought a rather expensive new bat on e-bay.
Those things helped, but so did former Coach Kepley's patented "Super Secret Strategy For Defeating the Backseat Drivers. " Because non-Slugs read this blog (hi scorekeeper dude!), we will not reveal the strategy here. But, let's just say the SSSFDBD doesn't include cheating, and it totally works.
When the Slugs came out for their second rematch this past Thursday at Tahoe Field, they were ready. The Backseat Drivers were missing one of their top female players, but they were still up for a battle. Little did they know the Slugs would be bringing so much heat. The Slugs figured out how to hit against their pitcher, and they hit it to where there were no defenders. There was also a lot of solid defensive play.
Final score: something like 13-2.

Cute and Functional
Sorry for the great delay in posting on this topic...
Two weeks ago, 4 lady Slugs wore skirts to the game against Loose Change. The intent was to look cute, perhaps lull the other team into thinking we weren't very good, and mostly to upset former coach Kepley. Well, it seems to have worked on all fronts.
As you can see from the above photos, Judy, Tamara, Ellen and Erin totally rocked the skirts. Judy went for the '80s style mini with leggings (a smart move on a chilly night), Erin wore a tennis skirt, and Ellen and Tamara wore jog skorts. All of the women reported playing better in the skirts. There was a certain freedom of movement, maybe a bit of feeling that we needed to prove ourselves. Our bats were hot, and we ran like hell.
The skirts were such a success, Coach Tam wore hers again in the game against the dreaded Backseat Drivers. "It makes me faster," she said. "I am going to keep wearing my run skirt to softball as long as the weather allows." She said she may even start bringing her pink water bottle again too.

Fall Schedule
Rumor has it the Slugs kicked some *itten *at a** on Thursday. Rock on Slugs.
Let's keep the good times going in the fall season. This season we're back in the D league...no D2 for the dominant Slugs. We'll be joined in the league by our old rivals the SoCal's Force, which is a sure sign we're in the good league this time around. We also welcome the Bad News In Review Bears, another media team. Clearly, we have to prove we are the superior media team. Here's our upcoming schedule:
09/13/07 8:30 Loose Change V Slugs
09/20/07 7:30 Slugs V Backseat Drivers
09/27/07 6:30 Slugs V DPMG Sliders
10/04/07 8:30 SoCal's Force V Slugs
10/11/07 6:30 Slugs V Bad News and Review Bears
