Joe is a genius. Well we knew that.
All season long Sting has been wondering out loud how weird it feels to be behind Pope. He has been wandering in the desert, wondering 'where is my neighbor?' (Chuck). But tonight in the second inning after WMD answered our four in the first with five to take a lead, Pope batting second once again came up in just the right spot, bases full of Coneheads with one out and crushed a ball beyond the lights in right field for a grand slam. Only put us up 8-5 but you knew it was over then. We went on to run three more that inning and then after a shutdown second, nine more in a Conehead third just to prove the point. And while WMD even had a late rally to make the final score sound close at 21-16, it was long over.
Other highlights - Dizzy D swinging at ball four, just to get another pitch, and this time he takes it anyway and it nearly was strike three, deja vu all over again, walks anyway. Johnny stinging a couple of balls, and one found a glove so he wasn't perfect, but nearly. Knight driving in three with two hits and a walk. Derek ripping one to RC when he wasn't taking pitches and swinging at ball four half-heartedly. And sending foul balls to be caught barely out of bounds just to piss off BradMD the wannabe Conehead.
Now comes the playoffs and voila we get them again. This time their pitcher will be back - I'm not sure if that is good or bad. We had four bases loaded walks tonight, but we also had guys swinging at ball four a lot just our of boredom.
Four more wins is all we need.
More later, this was just the quick recap to give the fans something to chew on.
