WTF? Zoo recap.

So, I guess in reporting their runs after every inning, they missed a run that actually scored. I don't recall the run, but Buddy and Pickle claim that they might have had one more run, which in essence would be an 8-8 score after 7 innings, which would technically mean extra innings. Which would also mean that we did not yet win this game. Which also means that we would have to yet finish a game at a later date. To be determined. . .

The Good
We won-ish. It was named the "Body Bag Game" afterwards; a tough, grinding win that might not be official yet (again, lame!). A win is a win no matter how you want to look at it, and that is the main focus to take from this week. And a win it was, or soon will be. (Lame!)

The Bad
We continue to be inconsistent. We have the talent and the potential to blow out any team that takes the field opposite us, and we seem to continue to play to our opponent instead of playing our game. Our hitting was spotty and our defense was not what we need it to be (granted we played with only 3 outfielders and a couple of individuals played in positions that they are not accustomed too). We have to lock up the defense because we know the offense will come around as the season plays on, so we have to focus over the next few weeks on tightening up the defense if we are going to have another successful run through the playoffs! (playoffs? playoffs? - you're welcome Ryan)

The Franklin Mystique (Formerly The Ugly)
Nick played an errorless shortstop, but still has struggled at the plate. He also had a collision with Matt; Matt survived, barely. The Marinos showed up to save the day, both playing key roles in a hard fought victory-ish. Tim replaced a worthless outfielder who pulled himself from the game and Chrisreplaced an injured player and soaked up at least an out every time through the order. Only one female played, so we were forced to take an out more often then we would have liked. Adam was also beaten down the third base line three times by the same hitter (you would think someone would learn, but no, lets not change, lets just keep doing the same thing - BRILLIANT! Sorry, The Management got a little bitter just now. The Management apologizes)

The "Lumber Liquidators" Stud of the Week

Matt - prior to and after taking out Nick, held down centerfield by himself, playing a very solid defense all night. Even when Nick tried to take him out, he still made an outstanding catch.

Pickle - pitched a dominating game in his first appearance ever.

Berta - the only female to play last night, was on base twice and had a solid performance behind the dish.

Paul Watch
