O-fers 17, Ciao Mambo 7

Sorry about the delay. I spent all night studying the infield fly rule,* especially the part about how it is only supposed to be called if the infielder could catch the fly ball with “ordinary effort.”

Anyway, we won, they lost. It was a close game for a while, at least until the bad juju they set . . . → Read More: O-fers 17, Ciao Mambo 7

O-fers notch three wins in Regis

I think we ended up tied for seventh out of 16 teams. That’s about where we stand at the moment. There is a clear class of teams above us, ranging from the New York Yankees down to, oh, let’s say Bomb Squad. Nah, make that Moon Time … they’re about 1 percent better than we are . . . → Read More: O-fers notch three wins in Regis

Smalls 16, O-fers *sob*

I scored the run. I just want to get that out of the way right now.

It is clear that playing three games in six weeks is not good for us. On the night of Scotty Morgan‘s 2010 debut, the O-fers were on and off the field in the blink of an eye Thursday night.

The Beas managed . . . → Read More: Smalls 16, O-fers *sob*

This should be a no-brainer

It’s noon, and so far they have cancelled adult tennis for tonight, but softball is still “on as scheduled.” I put the over/under for cancellation time at 2 p.m.

Moon Time 7, O-fers 5

The defense made a timely return Thursday night, because our offensive juggernaut has turned into a juggernaught lately.*

* Good play on words. +5 points to myself.

We actually led this thing most of the way, and even took a 5-4 lead onto the field in the top of the seventh inning. But you can’t expect to win . . . → Read More: Moon Time 7, O-fers 5

Never too late to say nice things

A lot of stuff has been going on lately, but that’s still no excuse for me not to pass out some huge compliments to Gregg McCoy for the Bombs Away tournament a couple weeks ago.

This is the third time (I think) we’ve gone to Moscow for Bombs Away, including each of the last two years. Just judging . . . → Read More: Never too late to say nice things

Integrity Steel 16, O-fers 5

This person wants to be my friend on MSN Live. I'll have to give it some thought.

You gotta be a hell of a hitter to hit into a triple play. Hell of a dumb hitter, in this case.

When did we know this game was going to end badly? Was it when the coach hit into a triple play? That was in the bottom of the third inning. Was it when Rehab struck out looking to start our offensive attack? That was in the bottom of the first.

Maybe it was earlier than that. Maybe it was when Art! got hurt in the top of the first. Maybe it was even before that, when the ball seemed to elude efforts by Rehab and Big Cat to grab it cleanly. Continue reading Integrity Steel 16, O-fers 5

O-fers 25, Spokane Airsoft 10

Hot damn! Two straight wins to start our latest foray into the upper league. I like.

The game looked like it was going to be a blowout early, with the O-fers jumping out to a 10-2 lead after three innings. House had a three-pitch, three-out first inning, but made the mistake of allowing Airsoft to hit the . . . → Read More: O-fers 25, Spokane Airsoft 10
