Ah, now on to more recent events (i.e., ones I can somewhat remember). Yesterday we played the Honey Badgers. I was a bit worried at first glance because they looked like a soccer team - all matching jerseys and color coordinated down to the socks. Surely a team this organized must kick some ass! Well...not so much. Their pitcher struggled to throw strikes which we turned into quite a few walks, and then we got hits at the right times. I believe the final score was 15-8 because they had one bright inning of offense but THE TEAM ended up with another one in the W column.
I don't remember how anyone personally did since I am selfish and only remember that I popped out THREE freaking times. I also remember there was another awkward play at home because the runner did not step on the plate. I had the ball, stepped on the plate and told the umpire "He missed the plate." The guy ran back and stepped on the plate and it ended up counting as a run because apparently I have to say "I protest the call." I think I also have to sacrifice a dove, point to the Western sun and give the umpire a reacharound for one of these calls at home plate to work out in my favor. Somebody get me a rulebook.
In HAPPIER news -- THE TEAM is currently 6-2 so no matter what, we will have a winning season this year. This hasn't happened since we (mistakenly) traded Mark McGwire to Oakland back in the late '80s. Tacos for everyone.

Hey Rick, I'm not sure if it will really matter, but it looks like they have the scores listed incorrectly on the burbank website for our team, regarding this last game. If it comes down to runs against or for, we might need this to be changed...

I agree with anonymous... the standings seem to be messed up on the Burbank site.
Actually, I think Chris is writing this particular blog. But I agree with both of yas. And for the record I went 4-4, a home run shy of the cycle and got hit in the arm on throw that should have never been thrown. Call me crazy, but generally if the runner is on the base, relaxing, it's safe to assume, you don't have the arm to throw him out. I enjoyed beating this team of color coordinated dufuses. But at least they weren't dicks like the team with the Gene Simmons makeup wearing douche and they showed up, unlike The Shake Weights.
