I really tried to think of a theme for this post that doesn't involve making me the hero, as Tom so eloquently put it. Let's face it, how can there be a hero in a 16-0 loss to the former arch rival Sons of Pitches?
But I can think out of the box, so here goes: I kept myself out of the lineup for various reasons, one of which was to shorten it so everyone could get more at bats. And we couldn't score a single run. Now I am not saying I would have made a sixteen run difference, but these are the facts: No Heffe, no runs. It won't happen again.
There really were no offensive fireworks to speak of. Brian (batting second and getting two ABs), was 2-2. Woohoo! That's all she wrote.
Bo did have an exceptional game in left field, and he singlehandedly kept SOP to two runs in the first. Coop made a couple of fine catches as well. Derek showed a quick glove on one scorcher at the hot corner.
I'm not worried about our offense - we just have too many good hitters to repeat this. SOP just owns us right now (we used to beat them as much as they beat us). But watching them send it must have been about eight balls over the fence by guys up and down the lineup shows that we are in the right division this season. This game will be Exhibit A if they try to bump us up.
It turns out we didn't clinch the division when Pleasanton Auto lost to the Brew Bros last week. It just eliminated them. MARA technically can catch us, so the magic number is still one. They would have to beat the Brews Bros, us and Pleasanton Auto, and we would have to lose twice. It is likely that we will clinch the division tomorrow, while we are scattered about. Lift a glass.
Milestones:
None, quelle surprise!
