We Don't Need no Stinkin' Groundhog!

The Wiffle and Ale Club knows what time it is: spring training time. Super Sunday became Wiffle Sunday as 6 stalwarts took to the asphalt at E.D. Smith for six innings of bat-and-ball play.

And there's no surer sign of spring than Kevin giving up hits. Once the season rolls around, he won't be having any of that $#!+. But today he gave up ... one. He, like everyone else, was just getting the old body limbered up for the long march to October.

There were a couple of triples, a double, and everything else was a single. Hansoo made a spectacular catch of a sinking liner off Peter's bat. Earlier, Peter made an impressive catch of a liner off Matt's bat. Everyone got in two innings on the mound; Adrian pitched into some hard luck.

On this gridiron, the Broncos (Dewey, Hansoo, Matt) bested the Panthers (Adrian, Kevin, Peter) by the very football score of 6 to 0. I'm not a betting man, but that might be a winning parlay for today's other big game.
