Game 7 Recap: Touched by an Angel

And exactly where did the angel touch you?
Another game of CCSL in the books and another win for the Force. 21-11 over the Museum de Touch Por Favor. It wasn't pretty, but we'll take it. And we push our record to 5-2 with the FAMbees coming to town next week. You have to beat the teams you should beat and we did. So on we roll

Recap

Well, we hemorrhaged 4 runs in the top of the 1st and I mean hemorrhaged. It was that scene in Carrie where they drop pig's blood all over Carrie. That bad. Probably one or two actual basehits with about 3 errors sprinkled in for funsies. We followed by scoring 6 in the 1st. Then the next two innings were back and forth and after 3 innings, the score was knotted at 8 a piece. Memorial Nick was beginning to fume and the PBRs were not tasting as good as they should have been. After that, it was all downhill for the Touch. 7 in the 4th, 4 in the 5th, 2 in the 6th. They scored 3 more runs after we shored up our defense. 21-11. Win number 5 as we march to the playoffs. You know what to say next.

The Good

It's hard to be mad at 21 runs, but it should have been more. And 21 runs with the Marinos and Verne, so it's pretty good. They're a young team with suspect defense and we took advantage. The Black Marino and Pete had 4 hits and scored 3 times. MMN had 4 hits and scored 3 runs. Mickowitz, Buddy, Wiggs and Derm all scored twice. Everyone had hits, everyone played. Good game overall.

The Bad

The Management had another onfield argument. Such a douche. Shoddy infield defense in the first and third let to at least 5 unearned runs. And, every starter scored at least once except for..............Ed. What a loser! Actually, it's hard to blame him cause he went 4-4 but he's still a loser. Bad Touch pitcher Claudia threw an overall great game. 14 footer by the plate, 14 footer by the plate, 3 footer that lands halfway up the 1st base line. 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

The Franklin Mystique

Collar 3rd baseman or something, Dr. Jake, showed up at the game after his game was over in 15 minutes with a 5-1 loss to Alvin and the Taproom. When asked why they only scored 1 run he said, "Well, it's either because Phyllis's boobs weren't there or because you and Nick didn't come watch." I think we know which it was.

NASDAQ Trade of the Week

The midrange gin and bottle of Tullamore Dew have arrived!!!!! They were delivered just prior to the Velocirapture on Saturday. These, of course, were the back end of the Adam Wojnotgonnaplayhere trade. The Collar got hosed.

Paul Watch

Paul was seen!!!!!! On a rain soaked thunderous Velocirapture, with zombies coming out of the ground, blood spewing from the skies, thunder and lightning, Earth trembling, dogs and cats living together, Paul was seen reading a newspaper and drinking a latte. The witness could not be interviewed because he immediately ascended into the sky because he apparently was of whatever ridiculous religion believes in shit like that.

CIALIS Boner of the Week

Not many choices this week so I'm gonna go with Chris Marino who I'm sure was doing something retarded between the hours of 6-8 on Tuesday night.

Benedict Pickle's Historical Reference of the Week

May 24th, 1925, John Scopes was indicted for teaching evolution in the classroom leading to what has been known as the Scopes Monkey Trial. A book and movie of the same name was made called Inherit The Wind, which made William Jennings Bryant, the attorney for the prosecution look like the pompous imbecile he is. Luckily, in nearly 100 years, nobody questions evolution anymore........

ASA Rule Clarification of the Week

Tagging up. You are allowed to advance on a caught flyball after the ball has been contacted by an outfielder. The outfielder does not need to have full possession of the ball before you can advance, you are allowed to leave after he/she first touches it. Apparently, this is known as the DiMaggio Rule, although I'd never heard that. If Wikipedia makes you believe me, or you may check your local ASA rule book. Also here it is from MLB. Also this.
