Bee-cause we are awesome



Another Sunday and another win for the Crackmonkeys. There were so many spectacular plays it is hard to pick one out in particular, though Dr. Campbell's spectacular catch in the out field is high on the list.

In general though, everyone played well. It was a solid game against a good team.
Everyone deserves a round of applause, especially the Crackmonkey graduates for 2010 Single T and the Stack.

And not to be forgotten I got stung by a bee. So all is good.

For the record, I am not allergic to bees. That is good to know and a nice tidbit for the future.

Next week the Astronutz are up. Normally I would not say such a thing, but we need to crush us some aeronautically themed nuts next week.

Where's the Beef

WARNING: watch the video first for the recap of how we started off the game!!!

this post is dedicated to those MIA this week- jamie, webbie, single T, bavs (i think that covers it, but please forgive me if i have missed anyone)

these boots are made for walking, walk like an egyptian, walk this way, i walk the line, walk like a man, walk on, walk on by, walk it out, long walk home, we walk, walk don't run, walk of life, walk idiot walk, walk the dinasaur, walk hard, walk on the wild side, walk on water, the walk, let's take a walk... anyway, you get the point.

other highlights included, but were not limited to: some great streches at 1st by chelray, an amazing catch and throw by little d, solid outfielding all around by alex, tony and liz-aster, an amazingly pitched game by our little mikey, derek buttering up the ump, all glenn wanted for his birthday was a pair of lesbians and instead he got a stinking homerun!!!!

3-0, holla! go monkeys!

2-0, that's a winning streak!

First, "I'd like to apologi, to the fan" (from Sammy Sosa after corked bat incident) for the delayed post. I put myself on double-secret probation for the offense, thus making me ineligible for the spirit award until Webby returns to play again after the All-Star break.

Great win in our first true test of the season. Any game against a team with softball pant wearers will be constituted as a test. Gotta love the bats coming through in crunch time. Special props to all the runners, the birthday girl, and those who doen't believe in sleep for putting the Monkeys first and ignoring aches, pains, and nausea. Strong effort from Scot at the plate and in the field. We'll do our best to have oxygen in the dugout for the next game. Lastly, props to everyone in the field for flashing some leather and holding a strong offensive team to 4 runs.

In the spirit of playoff hockey, I'm treating my pitching while Bob is umping as a 7 game series. Right now, series is tied 1-1 after, what I call, a convincing shutout. I'm confident I'll grab home ice back after game 3. To commemorate my ejection last season, I thought I'd provide a video of what I think is the ejection of all ejections. I hope you enjoy.
