For those that are a little short on edumacation, OCD is obsessive compulsive disorder. I'm sure we don't know anyone like that on the Coneheads...hmmm...
One instance is when you look online at the standings and results of your softball league and you notice that the scorekeeper recorded your game as 22-0 when you know damn well it was 23-0 (yes the headline should have been SHUTOUT!)
It can be helpful if you are, say, a politician, or a businessman, etc. but maybe not so much in rec league softball.
On the other hand.
What about that poor guy who scored but never got the credit in the official book? If he just knew, he might head into a depressive tailspin from which he would never recover.
What if a tie in the standings at the end of the season comes down to run differential and we are one short??? Let's put it this way, you just can't call the commissioner and tell her to fix the score when you won by more than 20 runs...it's just not done. But how would it look at the end of the season if you demanded a score audit? You see my point here?
Like I said, no one on this team...
So it came down to Ol' G hitting a bases loaded bases clearing double in the top of the first. 3-0, game over. In the second Pope hit a majestic blast into the bushes in RC for a grand slam, and that slammed the door shut. 9-0.
And then...we scored 14 in the third. It wasn't really fair. It was 107 degrees at game time, and our bats were that hot, and they played without a shmiddler, and they had to run around chasing our hits all over the place, while we were jogging around the bases. In the mean time, Joe had them popping up, and hitting into easy outs on the infield (although in one inning Randy and G made great back to back plays on hot shots). He had a one hitter going into the last inning and ended up with a three hitter. Not bad in softball, no matter who the opponent is.
To top it off the Chico Bail Bonds' pitchers couldn't throw strikes and they walked about eight guys, including two with the bases loaded preceding Pope's salami. Their relief pitcher wasn't much better than the starter, but by then we were fake swinging with three balls, and swinging at anything close just to put it in play.
We did have a Chopper slide into second for our entertainment to give him a double to go with his own bases clearing triple that was kind of the exclamation point of the 14 run inning. He had 4 RBIs in that inning.
Buddha, Ol' G, and Johnny had three hits each and the list is too numerous to mention of those that had two plus a walk or two. Mostly we just wanted to get to the post game refreshments in the heat. That certainly gave us incentive to keep it to a 15 run lead after five!
The Polar Bears and Advance Construction both lost games they should have won, so we are in first place alone once again. Magic number for first place seed for the playoffs is 2, which we can get with next week's doubleheader.
Milestones:
Heffe 50 bb (#2)
D 40 bb (#3)
Ol' G 150 rbi (#6)
Chopper 200 h (#8)
Randy 150 h (#12)
