Who made the schedule anyway! For starters, we had guys missing a doubleheader to catch the Yankees at the Colosseum and the mini-Yankees in San Ramon. We had guys having to miss shows they have been looking forward to for months (thanks, G and Sting). We had guys making eye doc appointments just so they could miss work to get to the game.
For another the scheduler must have been thinking this: Tear apart the Reds, and get on a roll against a much tougher team, St. Monica's, and they will come in cold and won't know what hit them.
The only problem: I think we shot our wad against the Santa Maria Reds. We have scored 98 runs against them in our last two games with them; I am getting tired just thinking about that many runs. This time a mere 46-11 win, down from last year's 52-29.
Whatever the reason, we came up short, 20-14, in the nightcap of our doubleheader, and could only split against the teams from the other division. We fell out of first place with the loss, as the Aereolas forfeited to Cal Bronco elsewhere.
It ruined a re-coronation night for the Chop. All he did was set a Conehead record four home runs in a game (five in the doubleheader). Even G Pope, who has hit three five times, has not done that. And it was in a slaughter shortened six inning game. I don't like to mix teams (as much as this is almost the same team as JFT) but look at these numbers: Chopper has 29 RBIs, second is Sting at 20 (that's not too shabby either). On JFT, Chopper has 30; no one else has more than 18. Have a season Chopper!
In the opener a bunch of Coneheads fattened up and had great games. Larry had near Chopper numbers: 6-6 with 3 doubles and a long one. Sting hit for the cycle, including a grand slam among eight RBIs. Joe and Gene also were 6-6, and Ol' G had six RBIs himself from five hits.
Milestones:
Heffe 1200 ab (#2)
Sting 40 hr (#3)
Joe 1100 ab (#4)
Larry 500 r (#4)
Chopper 20 hr (#9)
Sting 300 r (#12)
Sting 30 bb (#17)
Markley 50 r (#24)
Then we went kind of dead. I always say, if I am leading a team, that team is in trouble. Well I led the way with a mere three RBIs. We gave up one big (ten run) inning that was the difference in this game.We were only down by a run at that point 14-13, but besides Chopper's last HR of the day, we just were cold, and didn't score at all in the last two innings with the game on the line and owning the hammer.
I don't think the Coneheads have lost to St. Monica's before. But they are a good team that has improved this year. Note that we beat them by only one run in the playoffs last year, and it started us on a roll to Cotton. That was our closest game in that post-season; let's use this one as a springboard to better things as well, starting tomorrow against Pennini's who are smugly sitting as the only undefeated team left. Let's take it out on them.
