Rain and Cold

It's too bad someone as un-creative as a wiffle statistician writes these blog posts, especially considering how much creative energy there is in this group.

To think how much pleasure readers around the globe would receive reading the weekly installment on This Week In Whiff, if only there were talent pressing the keyboard buttons.

There would be epic poems about extruded plastic bat makers; there would be long screeds about sporting culture and Oakwood tradition - but they wouldn't feel long. No, indeed you'd wish there was more, and you'd cry yourself to sleep waiting for the next blog post. There would by soaring prose about heroic pitcher-batter confrontations, and allusions to the golden years of Hollywood and Madison Avenue. The pieces would analogize to the greats of baseball in a way that would proffer understanding to the reader, but by no means conjure any sense of disproportion.  In short, it would be the best wiffle blog in the world.

Instead, we get game stories.  And today's game sucked - because it rained and it was cold and then it got windy, too.  But when you actually have six players, you really have to play. No matter what. I guess we should be happy that the sun came out for the parade and all, but I'm not. I'm selfish, and I would rather have played in better weather.  I can't be happy for others while I'm busy wallowing in MY self-pity.

There was the first ever attempted Triple Play - by Matt.  This was done with a runner on third, so it was perhaps not the wisest decision.  That runner scored - but would have anyway on the subsequent home run by Kevin. Kevin and Kurt both hit for the cycle. The stats are updated, blah, blah, blah.

Brent, Kevin, Kurt - 6
Eric, Matt, Peter - 2
