Game 2 Recap: FI beats PnPnST 14-5

What? No clever lines? No allusions to The Force being mythical beasts, raping and pillaging the helpless citizens of Penciltucky? I thought you were a writer, Ford. You've gotten soft.

Well, Memorial Manager Nick got his first win of the season and celebrated by having the cool, rich PBR ambrosia spilled all over him. Congrats MMN! And congrats Force. We are now 1-1 and somewhere in the middle of pack. Next week we play Alvin and the Tap Room on Edgely 4. MMN has promised a win. The Management has promised he'll be sauced.

Recap
14-5 Final. Good all around win. Mostly great defense. (ahem, Renardo, is your last name Marino?) Sound hitting up and down the lineup. Started out with 3 runs in the first on a 3-run bomb by MMN that went so far over Steve Lynch's head. He called the shot a "4 butt-er," as in, it took him 4 cigarettes to chase it down. In the bottom of the 1st, the Peni's collected a bunch of singles but could only muster 1 run. From there the team just kept tacking them on. 2 in the second, 1 in the 3rd, 1 in the 4th, 2 in the 5th, and some other runs later. 2 double plays were turned. Linedrives were caught. And everything came up Milhouse.

The Good
A lot of good. Verne Siebert had 3 hits and almost drilled Fordo. He is now 6-7 on the year or something. He's the best player on the team, just ask him. MMN and the Management had 2 hits. Renardo Marino had 3 hits. Leslie was on a couple of times and played great second base. Alice Kellepregnant showed up. Ed had at least one hit. Tim Marino caught a ball and Ford signed it for him. Chris Marino's vag didn't flare up. Buddy wasn't there. All around great night.

The Bad
Lynch had 2 hits bringing his career average against the Force to .173. MMN and the Management hit back to back infield flies in the 6th. The Management's went further, by the way. Aside from that and the aforementioned Renardo Marino, a well-played game all around. Oh, and the Management was beaten to 2nd base by a diminutive pygmy with bad foot odor who goes by the name of Russ. That sucked.

The Franklin Mystique
After the game, PnPnST coach Bob "Oil Can" Ford was seen with tears in his eyes holding an unknown substance. When approached, Ford turned to the Management and said, "It finally happened. Ron turned into dust." And then a slight breeze carried the former Commissioner down the hill and into traffic.
