Lords and Ladies pick up 5th win by outlasting WTF Collective

Lords and Ladies have the Collective asking WTF!

With timely hitting and less timely fielding, the Lords and Ladies picked up their 5th win of the season improve their record to 5-3 on the year downing WTF Collective 27-25.  Returning from the vacation/work flu were both Chad and Agnes, colloquially known around these parts as "McBuss".  They were the unbeatable, unstoppable, power couple for the Lords and Ladies, providing a Munenori Kawasaki type spark.

For example, Agnes not feeling that baseball was a good enough workout, simply biked the 20 km to the park from Whitby.  She also did a few jump squats in the on-deck circle and a few dances around the plate when pitched inside just like Munenori does it.  

Here were the power couple's numbers:

• 7 for 10, with 5 singles, 2 doubles, 2 RBIs, and 3 Runs

Not to mention the chemistry on the field with this powerful and athletic 1st and 2nd baseman combination.  The Lords and Ladies have yet to lose a game when fielding this combo, here's to hoping we will see more of it down the stretch.

Also, returning from the work flu, was Steve...although I think he might need a bit more time in the minors, the Lords and Ladies had to bring him up to the big club due to the most recent forfeit.  Here's hoping that Steve will get his swing back on track soon.

Not to mention, Mike needs to stop eating burgers prior to the game.  There were multiple catch-able balls hit to center field that were just out of the reach of him.  This writer thinks the Lords and Ladies physical fitness trainer needs to ride his you know what to get his speed in the outfield up to snuff.  He looked a little bit like Melky Cabrera out there...

Newly Acquired Pitcher Shawn shines in debut as new Ace of staff

Bringing a new Buzz to the pitching rotation, Shawn pitched his first game as the newly acquired Ace of the lords and ladies.  In the first few innings, his knuckler, slow curve, junk, pitches were just getting the better of the batters from WTF Collective.  

Not to mention Shawn had superb plate appearances, here are his highlights:

• 4 for 4, 1 single, 2 doubles, 1 triple, 1 sacrifice fly with 5 RBIs and 3 runs.
