Joe's upset, Chuck is upset.
Joe is concerned because we haven't won by slaughter rule since Week II. This includes last night's game which we won by a pedestrian score of 12-6 over the BBQ's. It even was a one run game until the bottom of the fourth. Somewhere Lefty was rejoicing.
We won in ho-hum fashion without three of our best hitters. Joe had a K and a walk on the mound. Poor Johnny hit three flyouts but then scored several times as he ran for the hobbled Haz and Joe. Chuck went into the 5-6 hole and came out with the ball and heaved it over to first for our defensive highlight of the game. The Keystone Kops moment was a popup that Ol' G nearly caught in shallow center and then Johnny picked it up and got a force at second. Bruce and Gene made some tough catches in the 'sun field' in left center, bringing them each down to their knees once. Haz had the best assignment - his sore hamstring relegated him to catcher in the shade in the 95+ degree heat. He has officially volunteered to catch the rest of the season.
Buddha crushed the ball a couple of times off the fence for doubles and got the game winner on a sac fly. Randy remains our hottest hitter - he was 2-3 with two doubles. Ol' G also was 2-2 with a triple to the fence and with a sac fly.
Chuck is upset because I haven't blogged every game - The wins are so routine, I'm in need of more drama for these games. I need an angle. Can someone start a fight or something next game?
Next week it's Corona, who think they are equal to us. They lost yesterday, so they are now two games back and cannot claim a share of first place even with a win. So here's the drama - let's show who is the class of this league this year. And it would go a long way toward clinching early. I'm going to miss the last game of the season - you can win without Lefty or Derek but can you without a slow moving punch and heffe hitter?
