Lords and Ladies come up short...Lose to Up and Atom by 1 run

Heroics from 1st game missing

Down by 2 runs to start the bottom of the seventh inning, Mike led off with a lead off home run.  Hits by Tim and Chris got the winning run on base.  Unfortunately that was as close as it would come.  The Pitcher of Up and Atom dug deep and got the next three consecutive batters out.  Giving the Lords and Ladies there second loss.  So far all of the Lords and Ladies games have been decided by a single run.  Some exciting baseball has been played to date with more to follow!

Highlights:

Tim, the consummate gentleman...

After hearing that Agnes was disappointed with the Strike-out crown, Tim set his sights to climb that mountain.  Tim seeing a woman in need and carrying the heavy burden of the strike out crown, immediately picked up his share by striking out at his 1st at bat (in the lead off position, I might add).  Thereby, reducing Agnes' weight by half.  Now, if Tim could do it one more time, he would completely unburden Agnes from such a heavy crown.  And so, when he did come up in the second inning, with Mike on 3rd, he looked at the pitcher, and knew what he had to do.  Three strikes later, Tim sat down...Happy in his accomplishment.  He alone was to carry the burden of being the Lords and Ladies Strike Out King.  Everyone should appreciate Tim for being such a superb gentleman.  I will give Tim - 2 Unicorn Credits...Brian says once you hit 20 credits he will give you free hypnotherapy...


  +2 Unicorn Credits ++

 Note: Not to be outdone, in the gentleman position, Alex struck out once.

Alex, the emergence of "Charlie Hustle"

Alex, in his first game back, stuck out, and then "hustled" for 3 infield hits.  One right down third that stopped its momentum about halfway between home and third, the second right down at first base, it was so perfectly placed that it actually hit the bag thereby allowing him to reach first safely.  And a third hit which witnessed a super sprint down first.

As we all know, Alex last year was cleatless...meaning he had no traction...but before this game he went out  and bought new cleats.  Based on him getting three infield hits, I think that he must have bought magically cleats.  Stay posted for pictures and more stories of "Charlie Hustle and his magical shoes" in the next blog...

New Bash-Siblings - Poop and K8

Oakland A's had Conseco and McGwire, Lords and Ladies have Poop and K8.  The pick up of Poop this year just looks like the management team of the Lords and Ladies really knew what they were doing.  And it shows as Poop's batting ability really compliments K8's style, ensuring that neither batter can be pitched around.  Just looking at their game stats, and what a remarkable game they had.  Poop and K8 supplying 6 RBIs and 4 Runs.  Look for this combination to remain part of the lineup for many games going forward.

As K8 puts it "K8 always follows Poop!"  That's how it is going to be for the next while based on the impressive numbers these two put out in the last game.

My wife mentioned that "TP usually follows Poop"...more on that later...stay tuned!!

Next game: 13-Jun @ 5:00pm - PARC East
