Vs. Marty's Bar Recap

I hope everyone had a good time last night. We played very well and held one of the best teams in the league to only one big inning.

Highlights included:
Debbie throwing off the mask to make a Mauer-like catch in foul territory.
Jake handling probably the hardest hit grounder of the season in the first inning.
Jenny's two RBI triples.
Pete's almost-home-run.
Sterling defense by our Ps.
Debbie's beer bringing.

Lowlights included:
A weird, lumpy infield.
A weird, lumpy outfield.
Terrible lighting.
One of your co-managers jumping out of the way of a ground ball.

Betsy asked the important question

Where is Marty's Bar

I quipped "pick and @$$ end of St. Paul." For that I must apologize.

Belated photos of Brian's injury?

Practice

Practice Sunday 6/14 at 1:00 at South Saint Anthony Park Recreation Center.

Lori's purse

I have Lori's purse WITH HER CELL PHONE at our house - 1672 W. Minnehaha. I will be home all day today (Wednesday)... If someone knows a different way to get a hold of her, do it!

Good game...

Brewers, fun game tonight... true we didn't win, but like I said at the field, and I quote: "The game was a lot closer than the score shows." Highlights I'm sure will be posted in a day or two... Pat has the score book.

Game tomorrow...

Don't forget to show up at (or before) 8:00. Pepsi will be there around that time to give us our free swag and take our team picture. Oh, and we play @ 8:15...

PRACTICE

There will be NO PRACTICE this Sunday. Enjoy your weekend off.

The Good News

Having beaten the other two teams with 3-3 records, we stand alone in 5th place. We're right behind, you guessed it, Team Calamity.

And for the rest of our season we'll be playing two teams with records of 5-1 or better, and four teams with records of 1-5 or worse.

Fearless prediction: We'll finish the season 7-5.

(Keep up-to-date on the standings with the easy link on the right-hand navigation bar.)

Game

Yes, we got whooped. I think it was 29-7. But, no, it wasn't as bad as all that. Aside from our old-school Brewers first inning, after which it was 13-0, we were not terrible the rest of the way (16-7 over the next four innings). There were some individual highlights, however, which will be summed up when I get home and take a look at the scorebook.

Perhaps this was our karmic softball retribution for destroying The Senators last week after complaining about every team that's ever 10-runned us.

Oh well, we'll get right back on that horse on Tuesday.

No Comments on the Last Game??!

So where is the game run-down from the June 2 drubbing??

Those ambulance chasers (lawyers...) were, well, let's see - Mike says "very clean", we say "in the wrong league", and I say "trying to assure wins..." We were classy, as usual; putting in some good hitting; and taking some bad breaks in the field. Just remember, "the law is a ass" (Dickens) and "kill all the lawyers" (Shakespeare). Maybe we can make an exception for Brian...

Mike's main comment is, "I'm glad it's over... and glad we don't play them again."

Next week is a clean slate. Let's go out there, play hard, have fun, do our best, take it one game at a time... what else did Puck say? --
If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumber'd here
While these visions did appear.
(So maybe it wasn't really real -- one wise Puck is as good as another... !!)

Knights who say, "Knee!"

Greetings, Brewers!

Since many of you have noticed my lack of game participation, I thought I'd give you my latest injury update. My calf strain is more or less healed, but the overall lack of activity during rehab (coupled with a return to tennis too soon) has made my pre-existing "Chondromalacia Patella" issue even worse. I've had this knee issue for years, and it's only now occurring to me that I might need to be fitted for orthotics and follow through with some physical therapy. I've got some arthritis, and small bone spur, and "fraying" of soft tissues in my right knee, so I'm going to remain on the DL for at least another month. I asked the doctor if I could have my digital x-ray sent to the MB blog, but he wasn't into that idea -- something about patient confidentiality... So, for those of you interested, arthritis and frayed tissue look like a fuzzy glob on top of a normal bone. Pretty cool.

Looking forward to some quality rehab so that I might return with a vengeance next season! In the meantime, I anticipate that the rest of you will have a fantastic comeback game next Tuesday. Go Brewers!
