Before the game, Enrique was being lauded for his miniscule E.R.A. which was evidently below 1.00, to which he responded, "yeah, but it's still higher than Lee's average". Pretty sure Enrique was speaking the truth. Right now there are only three Indians who are batting above .211: Redge, Cedge, and Enrique.
Also before the game, Cedge was warming Chris up while being the object of flirtation by an anonymous admirer. She tossed a Lance Armstrong livestrong bracelet over the fence. "You can throw it back over if you don't want it. Do you want it?" she asked. He said sure. She then asked, "Do you want me?" We somehow weren't told how he responded to this follow-up question. Cedge? Comments?
We played a game today. A game that was made more intriguing due to some comments on our forum in the days leading up to it. It seems a player or two from the Revolt decided to stir it up a little to get a good heated game going on. It appeared to work at the start, with the trash-talk and adrenaline running high. After we scored a first inning run, it remained a one-run game til the fifth, when a three-run inning by the Revolt was answered immediately by a maximum six-run inning. The highlight of this was an inside-the-park grand slam by Cedge. He says it was only a triple, but it was a heads-up play to score, so scorer's decision is homerun. We were riding high after that, until a five-run inning seventh by the Revolt put them up by one, and then in the open-inning ninth they put it away with eight runs.
During Rod's fifth-inning at-bat, he attempted to lay down a sacrifice bunt to move the two runners over. Facing square to the pitcher, the fastball came in and, though it looked like it caught him, ahem, elsewhere, the pitch got him on the upper-inner-thigh. It was later revealed that Rod had forgotten his cup at home, and was batting with no protection to his nether regions. Holy smokes. To go up to bat against that kind of heat with no protection down there certainly takes balls. Even if they ended up sumo-style.
This Sunday Sunday Sunday, we face Newton at Whalley at three o'clock. Be there.

That was a tough game to lose. Btw, you forgot to mention the new team ERA leader. ;)
Rob, I guess you don't have the required number of innings to be named the new ERA leader (5 innings minimum) :-)
for sure a tough game to lose,
what I'm seeing as a trend is that we will slack off for 2-3 innings and let the opposition take advantage of that... we need to play hard every inning.
There's no way we should lose a four run lead in the late innings. We all need to do a better job on the field, especially late in the game.
I ran into the guy that let in 9 runs in the game and he apologizes for his embarrasing performance...
Enrique
