Redemption

After a drought hitting last week, the Crankmonkeys came back with a fury scoring a total of 17 runs with an eight run fifth inning. It was a solid performance all around, capped by Alex trying to enact revenge on the pitcher for Mike's left nut, only to be thwarted by the quick reflexes of his glove. I guess we will have to wait until the post-season to try again. We have a week off to prepare for the next game. Enjoy the rest!!!

At a loss for words

Well, we knew it was going to be a rough night when:

a) Scot had to add an additional roll of tape to his cleat.

b) We were forced to endure pineapple rum (well those of us who are alcoholics)

c) Micki and Mike slow danced to "Reunited" after not seeing each other since Christmas

Yes, we experienced our first loss of the season. It wasn't a pounding, but not exactly a first rate Crackmonkey outing. The bats were as dull as Glenn's morning after gin headache. Not even a fifth inning "everyone rotate to the next position" could wake us up.

We were certainly not without bright spots though. Alex made his pitching debut of the season and did an excellent job. Mike made a dramatic leaping catch that surely impressed Julia. Micki screetched about playing left field but then did a great job.

Oh well, better luck next time.

P.S. Diet Dr. Pepper and pineapple rum tastes like baby aspirin.

Another Win

With part of the team out living it up in Vegas, we battled for another hard-fought victory. Special thanks to Jayson and Mike, who had some key hits and were very steady in the field. Other highlights include:

-Glenn's clutch homerun.

-Glenn almost passed out on the bench after his homerun.

-Scot finding out he was supposed to pitch 30 minutes before the game.

-Michelle being listed as "The Bav" on the game roster.

-"The Bav's" slide into home, and the resulting scrape.

-Micki tossing her hat to get to (and catch) some foul balls.

-Scot waiting 3 days to get the blog updated. Better late than never. (Sorry Mike)
