All Bluster

Cold temps, stiff winds, and lascivious jokes in unaccented English filled morning at Nance Bradds today. The score of 12 - 1 says all you need to know about the game. Glen's uncharacteristically flat pitches generously provided the needed baserunners, and subsequent RBI, for the rout.

Da Commish surrendered the single tally by Kurt and Glen. But they had him on the ropes; could have been much worse, but Pete worked out of it. Home pitching shut them down the rest of the way.

But the talk was P.E.G.'s - performance enhancing gloves. Stats wore a pair of Carhart work gloves while in the field and in the dugout. He did not pitch or bat with them. Still, this was regarded as a questionable choice in light of tradition, manliness and the "rules." Had he dropped any of those fly balls he caught in centerfield, this is a whole different conversation, by the way.

Nice to be back bloggin' after all that acting stuff.

Eric, Peter, Matt - 12
Kurt, Glen - 1

WP - Zamonski
LP - Cebulash
HR - none.

Real Men Pull; Thespians Go the Other Way

Ok, ok! I've done the stats.  I've been busy, what with memorizing my lines, building sets, rehearsing and so forth.

There's been a couple of games.  Some people drove in runs and won games. Others allowed runs to score and lost. These things happen all the time. Timeless ebb and flow of the game, yadda yadda.

Curious question arose during the game on September 29th.  After the fifth inning of play, it seemed that the game was over as Matt had to leave in 15 minutes, and there wasn't time for another inning. Hands were shook.

But Matt offered to pitch a few and invited all who to take a crack in the box. And as it turned out he pitched a fairly brisk, scoreless inning.  So Glen hustled back to the dugout and he and Matt proceeded to put up 7 runs on Hansoo to cap off the greatest comeback in wiffle history. Except that no one was writing these down on the scoresheet. So none of it counted.

So the question is, "When does a wiffle game end?"

When you stop keeping score.
