1) A man walks into an emergency room with two black eyes and a broken nose. The doctor asks him what happened. "Well," says the man, "I was having a nice round of golf with my wife. She sliced her ball into a pasture of cows. We went to look for it, and while I was rooting around, I noticed that one of the cows had something protruding from its rear end. Sure enough, when it lifted its tail, there was my wife's golf ball." "And?" asked the doctor. "Well," the man said, "that's when I lifted the cow's tail, pointed, and yelled to the missus, 'Hey, honey—this one here looks like yours!'"

2) Q. How do rednecks practice safe sex?
A. They spray-paint Xs on the back of the sheep that kick!

May 14 2006

Hello readers! Sorry for last week's nonpost. We were too busy warming up our cores and digits after the cold, wet, loss. Are we forgiven? Thanks.

After last week's disappointing outcome and today's disappointing result, we have two consecutive disappointing losses after our first-game win. It is, how you say, disappointing?

It started out promising enough today, with Kel giving a legendary pep-talk ("man, we're gonna get smoked") and Chris pitching a no-hitter through two, but the bats weren't providing the necessary runs. See, in baseball, you need runs to win. True story; you learned something today didn't you? Anyway, we did eventually get the bats going, but so did the (who did we play today? let us check, hold on... oh right) Sabres. In the end, they got the timely hits and we did not. That's the way it goes sometimes.

We are working on getting some game-action pics on our website. The one thing holding us back is taking some game-action pics. Profile pics were taken a couple of weeks ago, so look for those to pop-up at any moment, much like our at-bats today.

Our next game is the make-up game of our rained-out opening day game vs Newton Royals: Tuesday May 23rd at 8:45 pm at Whalley.

Let it be known that no one on the Indians roster brings a pencil sharpener to the games, or at least today's game. It really would've helped us out today, but we'll stop short of blaming the loss on it.

Is it possible for us to write any more words without actually saying anything?

Hey, we almost forgot to mention the defensive play of the game. The winner is..... Kel! On a hard line-drive, Kel powered up, released the controller button, and leapt what must have been at least three-and-a-half inches off the dirt to snare the ball for the out. Kudos Kel. (A nod to Jeff for the "powered up" inspiration.) First runner-up is Tyler for his diving catch attempt in left. He didn't quite make the catch but it was definitely worthy of an honorable mention.

Later that same day:
We definitely should have wished all mother's a Happy Mother's Day, this being Mother's Day. All mother's who attended today's game were given a special treat: free admission to the game. We often overhear people saying, "those Surrey Indians, how virtuous do you think they are?" We now consider that question to be sufficiently answered.

April 30 2006

Twas a b-e-a-youtiful day for our opening day.
We notched a 20-3 victory over the Langley Playaz.

Our sparkling new jerseys made an immediate impact. We executed our warm-up runs and pregame drills with a whole new sense of purpose. As we stretched and gossiped during our centrefield huddle, talk turned to the new Burnaby team, the Biscuits. A future was envisioned. A delicious future. A future pastry league. The Burnaby Biscuits would play against the Coquitlam Croissants, with the winner taking on us, the Surrey Scones. Alas, we missed the boat, what with our new uniforms and all. When these fine fabrics become excessively frayed, the Scones we shall become. (Additional pastry team: Delta Donuts. Any others? Give us some more by chattering at the end of this post.)

The game got off to a rough start, with Aaron aggravating a leg injury in the top of the first that took him out of the game. Kelly, who was in a car accident on Saturday, was not dressed to play Sunday. Get well soon guys!

All in all, we had a decent offensive output, with a total of 21 hits spread out over the nine innings. FYI, last season it took us several weeks, possibly over a month, before we played a nine-inning game. Enrique and Josh both led the way on Sunday, each of them going 4-for-5, and at one point they smacked back-to-back triples. Clay also had a great start to the season, going 3-for-5 with a walk and 4 runs scored.

The pitching staff appears to be in mid-season form. Chris, Enrique, and Josh each pitched very well, holding the Playaz to just three hits.

The heads-in-the-game award is shared by Jeff and RobA, for instructing Rod to get his ass onto third base as he was making his way, helmet under the arm, to the dugout. He had mistakenly thought he was forced out at second when in fact the shortstop "phhhhhh - wasn’t even close" to the bag (quote: base ump).

If you’ve been paying attention to the forum on our website, you know that there is quite a competition brewing over who will lead the league in batting by season’s end. Not helping Scott’s cause was a very questionable infield-fly call on one of his batted balls. The ball landed in short rightfield, well out of the reach of the hustling infielders. No Indian was aware the call had been made until the umps stated the case after all the baserunners had advanced.

Next game: 6:30pm Saturday May 6th vs Coquitlam Cardinals at Blue Mountain Park.
