Too Much Fun

No one should be allowed to have this much fun without sex being involved. Transdyn records are falling left and right and this on top of being pretty successful leading up to this point in team history.

One more win, most in team history in a season (tied now). I don't have to do the research for this one (and it would be a chore): Twelve walks in two games in a row. Five walks with the bases loaded, including Donnie twice. You say, is that really fun? Walking your way to an undefeated season? Are you real men or what?

Well try .641 as a team, if we keep that up, we will finish thirty seven points ahead of the current team record, just set in the fall.Team OBP - .666 (the devil made us take all the walks).

And the thing is when we do swing, it counts. Rams gets tired of taking ball after ball, swings at a ball three feet over his head, and it becomes a two run double when it sails over the left fielder's outstretched glove. Donnie walks his first three times up, then a bingo for two runs. Rene won't walk, but laces a couple of line drives in front of the center fielder. Then the poor bastard plays him shallow, and Rene burns him for a bases loaded triple. Timmy is Timmy with four straight hits, he tied the team record for hit in a season with two games to go. They don't want to pitch to Dizzy D - he was one of the five bases loaded walks; so he gets a couple of hits and absolutely crushes a ball to deep center, but the mush ball stays in, and he has to settle for a sac fly. Heffe hits a couple where they ain't, walks a couple of times, and slides like a 25 year old one time, and another time hustles home from first to get Rene his sixth RBI on the triple, and they all said NO you didn't (is it really showing the other team up to hustle when you are up 26-5?). Cage knocks the cover off the ball one time for a double en route to also going 2-2-2 (two abs, two hits, 2 walks). Hama gets three hits including one if his patented half swing pooches over the third baseman one inch from the foul line.

I won't even talk about Monty. OK, I will. The guy is on fire with ten straight hits or walks. He even beat out an infield hit on a great play by the SS on a grounder in the 5-6 hole. Can't get the guy out.

We're hitting on all cylinders, or walking, and playing the best D in the league, and not to mention we have the best pitcher in the league. Rene made the class play in LC diving for a ball tonight, and Dizzy D actually went DOWN to snare a grounder backhanded at third that was ticketed to left field to make an easy toss to get a force at second to end the game. Those youngsters in the other dugout must just be in awe.

I know I am.
