The Long and Winding Road

What do you do when you have missed a couple of months of blogging for your favorite Tuesday team?

Well, you just start up again like you never left, raving about the utter shellacking Transdyn put on the HLG Crew tonight 16-1. About Tom's near shutout, Jason's two great catches ranging into the outfield, once from short and once from second.

About Nick dropping a triple over the left fielder's head, and then just to remind everyone who the power hitter is, Bert puts it in almost the same exact spot, except over the fence. I called it, by the way, ask Mario, who was sitting next to me on the bench. That made it 7-0 and there was no comeback in sight for the last place HLG Crew.

And speaking of the Puppet King, Mario made a fabulous shoe-top catch in right to preserve the shutout to that point in the fourth.

D and Hama led the way with quiet 4-4s, and Al was matched by Heffe with team high 3 RBIs each.

But then you get to the Milestones section and you see that it extends from July 12th to now, and you smell a rat. So sorry, fellow Transdynians, if you made a great play or two, or got a clutch hit or did anything that called you out in the last two months, it will just have to live on in your mind's eye - you know what you did.

It's a long road to this season's championship and playoff cotton, with four competitive teams in the mix, and hopefully you won't have to wait until then to see your name in the light of this column.
