Sun drenched, heat soaked, baked out like sauerkraut. This week's game contained all of the usual friendly rivalries, but really we were all battling one common enemy: the heat. It was unrelenting. First guys on the mound got to pitch in the shade at least but then that was it. Just sucking on heat index til the last strike was mercifully recorded and we could all slink away to go sip ice water in our respective ACs.
Commish showed up bright and early to set things up and pick teams, but then had to immediately beat it to go attend to some important day drinking---er, I mean "event planning" for Walker's impending nuptials. Which I'd not known about, congrats big guy!
Gamewise, it was a fun seesaw affair with three lead changes. The Vaunted Vans plated two in their first frame but then the Happenin' Halens harangued them for four to grab the lead. Then it was tied, and finally the Visitors were Victorious with one last ribbie that would prove the gamewinner. Teams were well-matched all around but it wouldn't have been a one-run squeaker if the Home Team Homies hadn't been so brilliant in the field. Zack pulled off a rare legit slapback play beyond the wall to convert a Brad HR into a triple which ended up saving a run. But this week's DRS leader was clearly "Tyler Wells" Andy who strapped on the velcro suit and turned in three, count em three, Gorilla Glue™ stickyfinger nabs-o-the-day. Who says ballplayers aren't athletes!
Re the blog title: I took two consecutive pitches without swinging which Zack guessed was probably an all-time personal record. Which led to me dubbing myself the titular character.
Adrian, Brad, Eric, Jeff - 7
Andy, Jim, Rodney, Zack - 6
HRs - Jeff (2), Andy
