First we had the Bermudah Triangle (more on that later).
Now we have:
The Best Keystone Combination in All Recreational Softball.
That would be Sting at SS and Gene at 2B.
I think it was Bruce who said it, when he came into the dugout after he scored the game's first run: "Well this one is over". I am sure I have the facts wrong, but you get the gist. So by the sixth, up 14-0, the outfield was on the infield and vice versa. There was a ball to Gene where the two of them sort of just stared at each other, trying by mental telepathy to figure out who was actually going to go to the bag to get the force. Then on another play Sting made a great stop up the middle with a dive. And Gene was on the base! And then Sting decided to play in the sandbox, only there was no sand, just turf, and the ball to play pinball with, and he just could not pick it up to toss to Gene.
Let the record show that the overweight slow footed jet-lagged first baseman went to right field and on his only play ran (!) in and kept a dying pop fly to shallow right from hitting the ground. Out number one on the sixth.
Earlier I was playing first and a ball went up into the open spaces of the Berjudah Triangle, and in a rarity these days, it was the three Judahs at the mound and first and second. Joe didn't move. Larry didn't move. Damn lazy bastards, I have to get this one before it goes off the radar. Luckily it was high enough that I had time to get in the praying position to catch it on my knees.
Well, enough of the hilarity. There was one very legitimate ESPN moment, and perhaps the defensive highlight of Chopper's career. He also played some first, and chased a pop up down the first base line with his new found Weight Watcher speed. I don't remember if it was fair or foul but he somehow plucked it out of the air with his back to home plate, and all were in awe. Nice Play Chopper!
On offense, just another Wilder night at the office. Sting, Lefty and Chauncey went Wilder hops and gappers for home runs. Gene is quietly having a career season, and he had two doubles and a triple. Joining him with three hits were Randy, Sting, Bruce, Larry and Chuck. You can take away Chuck's legs but the man can still hit.
A win this week against the Areolas and it sets up a battle for the regular season bragging rights and an undefeated regular season against the Cal Broncos in the last game. Let's take care of business.
Milestones:

Haze 20 bb (#21)

Gerry 250 g (#10)
Bruce 200 h (#23)
