The natives are restless. The Transdyn team wonders, "How come Heff never writes about us? I mean, my god, we are 3-0 this season, in first place, made the championship game last season, are 13-4 for the year, WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO?"
Well, I'll tell you. It's just so boring. We tease a team, let them think they are in it, and then blow them away. Sir Guy mixes up the pitches, makes the young hardball hackers pop up, or hit hard grounders at Jason or Hama, or even to Big D at first. That was pretty slick over there D in the first inning, a hot shot you stabbed with a runner at first, tagged the runner before he was one step off and bang bang step on the bag double play.
Or they finally hit one well, and there goes Cage flying over and diving and robbing the poor youngster of a hit, or RB racing into the RC gap to take away yet another, or Rams tracking a smashed line drive shot twisting this way and that. It's just not fair.
Then to top it off, the bottom of the order gets hot last night. Coop and Sir Guy were both 3-3 and started both our big innings, with Bill getting the huge hit in the bottom of the fifth, a blast over the cheating in left fielder. See Gabe Run. Run Gabe Run. See Bill lumber into second with a double. The two of them would bat twice (along with a bunch of others) as we raced to a 16 run inning to slaughter shock the Motor Boatin' Show Boaters 22-6. They never knew what hit them. Fifteen hits including an inside the parker by Jason and a bases loaded triple off the fence by Hama.
And the icing....the hottest player on the planet, Cage. Cage comes up with the bases juiced, we already had twelve runs in, and he is calculating the run differential in his head, and then the Show Boatin' pitcher calls Nick's shot. "You want it?" He offers to feed him a meatball, and even better than the last blast Cage hit in the third that died at the fence, he just crushed this one. Walk off Salami. And then the pitcher gets into a sissy fit, as though Cage somehow showed him up. We will give him the benefit of the doubt - no one likes giving up sixteen runs to end a game in the fifth. In fact not many have even had the opportunity.
See what I mean? I have to dig that deep for drama. Well OK, it was in fact very dramatic, in a good way. Let's keep the boring times rollin'.
Milestones:
Coop 1200 ab (#1)
Timmy 350 r (#3)
Timmy 750 ab (#5)
Hama 50 rbi (#27)
