Maybe, if we had gathered up a herd of deer, brought the herd down to the ballpark, covered the batter's box in ice, blindfolded each deer, and then sent them up, one by one, to face the opposing pitcher, we could have actually looked like a respectable team capable of getting hits, and therefore been able to capitalize on the exceptional pitching performance by birthday boy Chris, who went five scoreless innings with barely a ball getting hit to the outfield. According to one witness, we looked like a bunch of high-schoolers. We're pretty sure it was meant as an insult, but we'll take it as a compliment, so thank you. Brad would like to mention that he was able to throw the ball into the gaping first-base-side dugout entrance, from the close proximity of right field, on two occasions. Lee got his first hit of the season. There is, evidently, nothing else to be said about this game.
