BL unpredictably wins, then loses

well it certainly was a roller coaster out there folks.

grunley showed up with a meager 7 guys and a bunch of girls in jeans who wouldn't pee in the alley, but had to go to the Giant which delayed the game significantly. we sported our new shirts and trucker hats (we looked gooood) yet worried that we didn't have a full team. but when the all-girl infield (except for adams) set up the first inning, there was a smell of estrogen and winning in the air.
they scored a meager 3 runs in the top of the first, and then came a powerhouse BL like no one's ever seen. the great thing about having a small roster is that you get on base. a lot. and that's how you get SEVEN. STRAIGHT. RUNS. our beer cooler was full, our mouths watering with wasabi peas, our demeanor: quite positive, yet their heckling - poignant.
we managed to pull another few innings of total crushage. they dared not throw any more comments at Chris as he pounded 2 homers. Jason followed suit with a beauty full of bases. Billy shows up late and whacks it into the outfield with his hearty laugh. then Adam, then Barnabe, then Khlamad, our slew of ladies. like a freight train.
in the field, we were unstoppable. third base rookie lisa had first asked "how does one play third base?" and it was clear she was born with the skills. the super height and snazzy cutoffs jeans helped too. Barnabe made some crazy catches in left field and with his sideways hat, we concurred: "is that justin hospital out there?" in right field Billy swooped in for an amazing catch that almost took out Jason, but it was funny.
our amazing 11 point lead for the first 6 innings should have taught us to end the game there, but no, we opted for a 7th and that's when lady luck went to solly's without us. the other team ran out of beer, and we let motormouth into the dugout. it messed with our mojo! i was trying to pitch but all i could hear was "cooliwenttocollegeyocanyoudig? i'mWILDabouthtecaucasiangirlsyocheckoutmydebitcard" and while the other team sobered up, we sank down into a rut from season 4 and there we were, 10 runs down. so sad.

nevertheless, we made it to solly's with a team we deemed good enough for our end of year tourney, and had Danzig resonating from the jukebox.
